Col. f. y. Hooper ''The Lord helps
those who help themselves, and the peo-

opportunity presented in this election.

come. I'm for it ALL .
Mr.. George D. Wheatley 81 shall vote
for ratification of franchise and for
bonds. Americus must keep pace in the

Mr.. Marshall Martin 'Surely Amer

building. But, seriously speaking.
we need all the utilities to be vote d
upon.
Captain John A. Cobb 81 am for
those improvements which will bring
, more people to Americus. Another
school building is an absolute necessity.
Better school facilities will induce peo-
pie to come here, and upon this point I

Mr.. C. NJ. Councils: | think the
| whole proposition should go through.
[ was in doubt for some time as to the
advisability of that portion relating to
paving the streets, but after careful
consideration and investigation as to
the results elsewhere [ have been con
verted to that also and heartily favor
all four propositions.
Mr.. A. @. Duncan: To me it looks
like the real thing. We must have
them all. / can't possibly understand
why any one should vote in the
| negative.
DIR. w. A. Rembert So far as the
paving of the streets is concerned I am
as heartily in favor of 1t as any bust :
ness man could possibly be. l Ger :
tainIy hope that feature will have q
tremendous vote
Mr.. L. A. Lowrey: The measure
seems to be very popular with the
people, as far as 1 can ascertain. The
city must progress, and in order to do it
we must keep abreast of other towns.
The affirmative side in today's election
, is forward step.
