decided boost yesterday, the contract

Spot cotton felt the impetus as we'll,

This was an advance in value of
$1.2 per bale since Saturday.
Yesterdays market was very active
and all off rings of good cotton went
readily at 104 cent? Receipts by wag-
on were good and many bales were
sold here yesterday.
Farmers are hopeful that the storm
which passed up. the coast few days
ago was the equinoctial gale, as storm

in their present condition, would NEAR

ABUNDANT FAITH IN AMERIcus,
Evidenced in Purchase of Americas
Real Estate.

r cent sales of Americas realty at
highly satisfactory prices is the best
evidence of the city's substantial
growth and the desirability of such
property as safe and profitable invest
ment Every purchase made here
within the past two years could haye
been turned loose afterwards at a good
profit, bat purchasers ratQer prefer to
hold them to selling ON speculative
basis. One citizen here has bought
more than 500, 600 of Americus real ee-
state within short period of time, and
not one piece of property is there in
the list that will not bring a good pro-
fit on the purchase price if sold today
This fact is clearly recognized, and
people here want no better Investment
for surplus money than Americus real
ty or Sumter county farms.

BOARD COMPLETE ALL DUTIES
Assessors Did Excellent Service for
the City.

the City.
The board of city assessors has final
ly completed all duties assigned and
thus disposed of "a herculean task in
assessing property values in Americas.
During the several weeks thus engag-
ed the assessors, Messrs A. J HamiI,
Lee Allen and Hugh L. Mize, inspec-
ted personally every piece of real et-
state in the city, and where values
were returned too low each property
was assessed at it's true worth. Where
property owners were not satisfied with
the assessed value the matter has been
investjga ed by assessors and an AMIGA
BILE adjustment reached But the board
has finished it's labors now, and any
citizens who did not avail themselves of
the opportunity offered by the board
have only themselves to blame. The
assessors, in their rounds, found pro.
perty to the value of thousands of dol
lars which had not been returned at
all, both IN household furniture and
stocks Of goods. All these "finds"
were listed and will be looked after by
the city marshal As the result of the
thorough work done by the city asses
sors, the city tax rate will be materially
reduced this fall.
