PROMOTION FOR AMERlcus MAN
Now Commands Handsome Salary
in New York

The AmeEicus friends of Mr.. John
B. Ansley. who until two years sgo was
city engineer and superin tendent of
waterworks in Americus, will be pleas
ed to. hear of his continued success, hay-
ing inst b3en called to New York by d
large engineering company.
His esiery, in his new position, will
be considerably more than 81 ,OO0a year,
it is understood.
In change of administration here
the salary of City Engineer Ansley W, s
cut to point where he would not &C
cept it, and i'll few days thereafter he
sought employment elsewhere.
Mr.. George Earle, former city en-
gineer here, and who now commands a
salary of $1,000 IN New Orles MS, ten
dered Engineer AnsIey desirable place
in that city. He was a most efficient
mar, and recently has been earning q
salary of So, 600 in that city.
Representatives of a New York en-
gineering firm Were in New Orleans
ard met Mr.. Ansley in business way
A few days ago they wired him to come
to New York at a handsome increase
in salary, and letters just received from
him announce his arrival there.
Mr., Ansley is congratulated upon his
success ga prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" as his
experience in being forced to leave
Americus has proven.
The financial loss sustained by Amer.
icus by the departure Of Engineer Ans
ley has been incaiculuble. 1t was
case of ''small politics.. pure and sim
pie, and the city was made the sui
ferer thereby in the loss of this effici
ent and valuable man.
Mr.. AnsIey's family, still in Nav Or
leans, will join him in their New Yorl
home in few days.

OF uRlAH S. LockErr
Conducted Today From First Baptist
Church

The funeral of Mr. Uriah s. Lockett
Will be conducted from First Baptist
church at O'Clock this afternoon by
Rev. DIR. A. B. Campbell, the former
pastor, and hundreds of sorrowing
friends will unite there in paying the
final tribu 9 to true and honest man.
Messrs, O. c. Hawkins, T. +. Gate
wood, George Oliver, Arthur Rylander,
w NJ. Tullip, j. A. Hixon, e. L. Bell
and Frank Sheffield will be pallbearers
Rest came to him at an early hour
Thursday morning,
The announcement of his passing
away was not unexpected, as his long
and Painful illness of many months
had prepared his hundreds of friends
for the dread tidings.
But, while thus expected, the death
of Mr. Lockett has cast shadow of
sorrow over the community wherein
the greater portion of his long and use
full life has been spent. He belonged
to that class of men, honest and cour<
ageous, met with but seldom now.
For he was man of unfiinching
courage, tried thousand times upon
battlefield and elsewhere, and meyer
was he found wanting
The word honesty" was synony-
nous with his name. liz this he was
really an extremist, and it can be said
in all truth that he never possessed a
penny not his own. A part of his re-
llgion was TO pay his just debts, love
his fellow man and lead an upright life.
Nor lives there man who can say
that he ever failed therein.
Mr.. Lockett was born in Warren
county, Ga, August 2nd, 1882, and
therefore, was in his 73rd year. Ir
1859 he married Miss Antoinette Park
of Marion coun Y. After the OWL Wa
they removed to Americus in 1866, wher'
they have resided very happily since.
His life companion, with one son, A
e. Lockett, and four daughters, Mrs
Z. e. Maultsby, Mrs. Eula L. Hollis
Mrs. d. T. Brown and Miss Antoinett,
Locketf, survive HIM, besides tire,
brothers.
Mr.. Lockeit served throughout tn,
Civil War as member of Company K
Forty sixth Georgia Regiment Sine,
coming TO Americus he has been active
ly engaged in business until the begin
ming Of his recent illness And M
town ever possessed a truer, better
citizen.
Though modest and unassuming, ht
was man of conviction and exalted
character. His purse was ever open tc
the needy and afflicted and his life wal
full of golden deeds of charity. He
did no man an injury, nor did he ever
submit to injustice.
Mr.. Lockett was lifelong member
of the Baptist church, and his body
will rest for a time this afternoon il
the sanctuary he loved and where The
!, final sad tribute will be paid.

a reduction in rates would neceseitate
