TAKES UP BONDS IN
DEBT OF CHURCH,
First Baptist Has Cancelled
Entire Debt
BUILDING WILL BE DEDICATED
Entire Indebtedness is Cancelled and
on Sunday Oct Ath, the Handsome
Edifice Will be Dedicated With Usual
Ceremony.

The remaining Indebtedness upon the
First Baptist church of Americas, Incl
dent to the building of that beautiful
temple of worship, has just been can
celled in full, and the edifice will be
formally dedicated on Sunday morn
ing, Oct. 18th.
The balance remaining unpaid was
in eleven bonds of 500
each, and these obligations have just
been taken up and cancelled, thus
leaving the church out of debt.
And the church membership is very
happy in thus discharging an obi
CATION of long standing.
IT has required an effort to do this,
as the church indebtedness was, origi-
nally, about $12, 900. But with q devo-
ton and determination worthy the
cause the members and friends have
worked on until success is now accom-
plished fully,
Not penny remains unpaid; the en-
tire debt is cancelled.
Within the past two years alone
about $4,000 has been raised to that
end, and to the efforts of the pastor,
Rev. o. P. Gilbert, is due much credit
for the success achieved.
And now the handsome building is
free of debt and ready for formal dedi-
cation.
Sunday, Oct. 14th, little more than
week hence, is the date of dedication.
Rev. A. B. Campbell, former beloved
pastor, will preach the dedicatory ser
mon, while Rev. Walton Galloway of
Macon will conduct the services on that
evening.
An interesting program will mark
the occasion, which will be announced
to the public after it has been entirely
completed.

LOCAL OWNERSHIP IS OPPOSED
Enterprising Town Thinks Movement
Failure.

Americas enterprising neighbor,
Moultrie, by the way one of the most
rapidly developing towns in south
Georgia, is not at all satisfied with mu-
nicipal ownership other public utilities,

Americas just now. The Moultrie OBJ
server does not charge that there has
been any neglect or graft in the man.
agement of the local lighting or the wa
ter works plant in that town. Still it
is clearly manifested that thirty thou
sand dollar enterprise cannot be sue
cessfully run by changing administra-
tions each year and when the business
is looked after by men who receive
nothing for their services to the people
and have no personal interest at hand.
Certainly the management of the
water works by town should be sue
cessful. Next in simplicity and in
necessity comes the lightning of
city. These are the two elemental
phases of municipal ownership, and
yet the Mou1trie Observer insists that
they are not satisfactory there.

DELIVER corroN en- CONTRACT
Farmers Who Sold for Ten Cents Up
Against u.

Not IA few farmers about Americas
pocketed a loss of $3.50 per bale yester-
day in the sale of their cotton at 10 cts,
when other farmers were selling their
bales at 10 1-2 cents and many even at
10 5-8 cents, for the market again went
booming. Those who sold at 10 cents,
and lost the difference of 81. so per bale
in price, We're merely delivering cotton
which thry sold on contract during the
summer for October delivery. Not car
ing to take chances of low market,
these farmers contracted to deliver to
buyers here so many hundred bales at
10 cents. Had the market stayed down
to 8 cents, where it was a week ago,
the deal would have been good one
for them and each would have cleared
up the difference, or s. per bale. But
the market is now 10 1-2 cents, and
they must deliver at 10 cents the con-
tract cotton which they sold months
ago for October delivery.

A long headed Americas cotton man
predicts that cotton will bring Is cents
here ere another crop is planted. And
he may be correct.
Peck's Bad Boy, quite as bad as ever,
showed a number of his old pranks at
the opera house last night and pleased

The matrimonial market and the cot
ton crop here are about upon the same
basis of brevity. Cupid seems to have
gone into bankruptcy.
Americas merchants count upon a
gala day in trade circles today. Ten

should make business.
Mr.. Phil Pearce and family have re-

PLAY REPLETE WITH INTEREST

In such plays as Human Hearts"
which appears at the opera house next
Tuesday night, 9th, the contrast drawn
between virtue and vice is sharply
drawn. The author has not minced
matters in drawing his characters, and
on real occurrences, he has not had to
draw upon his imagination to invent a

BY a FLEETINc GUEST
Lost Money and Ring as Mr.. Gerst
busted.

Day Clerk Wooten of the Hotel Wind
sor would like to ascertain the present
stopping place of sleek artist who
registered there as Paul Gerst, although
his real name may have been Smith or
Jones. Gerst was awfully nice, and
when he admired a handsome SOL
taire diamoud ring worn by Clerk
Wooten that young man handed it to
''Mr. eGerst' for closer inspection.
Gerst, it is said, slipped the ring upon
his own finger, and upon pretense of
going aloft for book he slipped into
Mr., Wooten's room; slipped into his
trunk also; slipped all the money there
from and then slipped out of the house.
Whereupon Clerk Wooten decided he
was slippery citizen "and so informed
the police. Chief Feagin has sent out
descriptions of Guest Gerst in the vain
hope of recovery the sparkler and the
coin.
