THIRTY ONE YEARS IN HARNESS
Veteran Knights Celebrate Another

Seated together in the dining room of

SMALL HOUSE is BURNED DOWN

TIVE long runs in almost as many
hours and to the same locality yester-
day morning kept the fire department
busy, although in each instance the
actual property loss sustained was very
light.
The first alarm came at a. m. from
the Seaboard shops.
A small frame building in the east
end of the yards, used formerly to store
waste etc and also used by engineers
and firemen as place to change cloth
ing, was in flames.
The building and contents, including
few tools and numerous suits of
oyeralls, was burned, the oil-saturated
structure proving fine fuel for the
flames. The fire probably started from
stove in the house.
The entire loss may not exceed $3.50
or possibly 5000.
A dozen locomotives were near at
hand, to say nothing of other buildings
about the yard, and the work of the
department doubtless saved these from
possible injury or destruction through
spreading of the flames.
At o'clock the department was
called to the same locality by blaze
upon the roof of a one room cabin,
which did little damage.

very novel feature has been intro
duced by tire, bank, in the shape of q
pocket savings bank. This is q metal
case in which coins can be dropped. 1t
is light, easily carried in the coat or
vest pocket, and when tiled can be
taken TO the bank, unlocked and the
money therein credited to owner.
An account in the savings depart
ment is opened up by the payment OF
$1.OO for bank, the $1.OO being at once
credited on the pass book as the first
deposit, Through the medium of these
banks many coins will be put aside for
the proverbial rainy day that other
wise would be wasted. 1t Will no
doubt be surprising to those utilizing
this means of saving to see how large a
sum of money will be accumulated in
the course of a year.
The Planters Bank is too we'll known
TO The people of Americus and Sumter

ton. The new feature it has added to
its business will tend to further in
crease its popularity and patronage.
