GAINS ANOTHER SCORE POINTS
Cotton Values Continue to Go Higher
Steadily.

Another bunch of twenty points, or
nearly quarter of cent, was added
yesterday to the big gains made in the
cotton market this week. A big bull

Gus cotton men took forward to still
further advances.

In fact, Americas cotton dealers
thought of asking nothing less yester-
day, and several hundred bales of mid
ding grade were closed out at that
erstwhile fancy figure.
Some of this cotton had been held in
storage six months, the owners declin-
ing to sell for less than eight cents
II was long and weary wal, but q
turn of the tide came at last and the
tired holders were glad enought TO let
go their cotton yesterday.
But while middl1ng grades sold at

he was killed by electricity. the result
of accident. Further particulars may

sEAUrIFY THE clTYs STREETS
This Improvement Should No Longer
Be Neglected

A little money judiciously expended,
a little care taken, would tend to en-
hance greatly the natural beauty of
Americus. Our city has been a suff ,rer
because of the lack of foresight of eff
cials and citizens ia permitting miles
upon miles of streets to be laid out and
constructed without m liking prov .sioa
for the planting of trees along the side
of the streets, or in the middle Savap-
nah, Macon and Augusta are BEAUTIFUL
! because of the trees along the streets.
In the uptown section it is now too
late to remedy the trouble, but IN the
suburbs it is not. La the first place all
streets hereafter TO be laid out should
have sidewalks of such width as to al
low for a plot of grass between the
curbstone and side proper, and
here and there street should be laid
out with small parkway in the center.
Our land is not so valuable that we
cannot take some of it for broad er
streets.
