NOT BUILT THAT WAY

Yesterday we were asked if ever saw bald
headed woman. We answered no, we never did, nor
did waltzng around town in
her shrtsleeves with cigar in her teeth and run
ing in to every saloon she saw. We have never seen
woman go fishing with bottle in her pocket; sit
on the damp ground all day and come home drunk
at night. Nor have ever woman yank off her
coat and say she could lick any man in town. God
bless her, she's not built that way-Olympia Chron-
ice.

Americas cotton men awaited with
considerable interest the publication of
the monthly "Ginners Report . issued
at noon yesterday, and when the figures
were finally flashed here, and the mar
ket jumped up fifteen points, they were
more than pleased, all.
The 'Ginners'' was perhaps a little
better than expected.
This estimate of the total crop ginned
December 1st was 10, 1925, 900, bales and is
probably as accurate as could be made.
AT all events the price hiked on the re-
port.
Great stress is placed upon the re-
liability of the ginners report-quite as
much as to the governmental bureau
report which is likewise issued month
ly. This latter report is due at noon
today and will indicate the season.

The Times Recorder has upon several
occasions recently called attention to
the proposition made the council by
Mr.. Joseph Roman of Atlanta, and his
associates relative to the installment
of an electric lighting and pumping
plant in Americas if the city coun~
ell will make a favorable contract
therefor. Mr.. Roman has been before
the council with his proposition, and

elsewhere this morning over his sigma
ture sets forth the intent and purposes
of himself and associates upon this line.
The people of Americas are deeply
interested in the progress and material

will command their attention. The
city council will carefully weigh the
several propositions made, and act as
the best interests of Americas dictate.
