made modern in every respect. The
great verandah of the Allen House on
the Forsyth street front is to be pulled
down, and the general appearance of
the building improved.
Plans for this are now being drawn
by the architect.
"he corner will be rounded, marble
column put in there, spacious bank
vault built and the quarters made
handsome and attractivein every way.
The Amercus National, it is under
stood, will lease the corner building
for long term of years.
The location is a most advantageous
and desirable one for bank, being
in the commercial heart of the city,
and the banks officials are to be con-
graduated upon securing this property.
1t will probably be October LIST,
however, ere the change is made.
Mr. Bailey and Mr. Horne will
make changes of base earlier.
During the eaily summer there will
be dozen changes of location among
Americus business houses. In ad-
dition to these mentioned, the Allison
Furniture Co. Davenport Drug Co,
Dodson's Pharmacy, Pinkston, Co. and
S. y. Daniels will change base.
And other business houses would be
occupied as well were they only to be
had in busy Americus.

A DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE
Question Will Probably Be Determined by Diocesan
Convention This Week.

THIS was done for the reason that
the division would not become effec-
tive until after the General Convention,
to be held in October, acts.
The old committee was continued in
charge of the question and it was fur
ther agreed that each pari sh in the d.
ocese should go on record for or
against the proposition. Reports of
such action will be read at the Savan-
nah convention.
tits probable some objection will be
made to the division. Many of the
parishes feel the diocese should be di-
vided because the bishop wishes it,
and that is about the extent of their
favorable interest in the matter, while
there are many other parishes which
for financial and geographical reasons
are heartily in favor of the proposition,
This important matter will scarcely
be determined before Friday, the clos
ing day of the convention.

map is, and judge for themselves as to
the value of such map for Sumter
county.
The map of Ware county was made
by two experts sent down from Wash

SIX months to do the work, thew did
1t thoroughly and now that county has
map that tells the story of it's agri-
cultural possibilities to the world.
Sumter Can Get One.
Sumter county can get such map
and such detailed report if it goes
after it.
Congressman Lewis can get the agri
cultural Department to send soil ex-
perts here, just as it did to Ware, if
they are desired by an interested
public. Inside of four or five months
they could have such map and report
completed and in the hands of the
government printers.
If the County Commissioners will
petition Congressman Lewis, and if his
constituents in Sumter county will
write to him directly, there is no doubt
that he will take the matter up with
Washington at once, and that within
the course of year experts will be at
work on the whole county, just as one

900 IN population, secure their fire
losses, ETC., and the rates of insurance
charged on various classes of property.
together with the extent of the water

With such data in hand it may be
possible for the Board of Trade to put

The committee on advertising, and
on the celebration at the Agricultural
college, will also be expected to make
reports. =
The committee on membership will
present its report showing a decided
increase in membership.
Every member of the Board of Trade

Block.

The Americus National Bank will be

and well arranged as that of any bank
ing house in south Georgia, all arrange
ments to that desired end being prac-

The new banking house, it is said,
will be located at the corner of Forsyth
street and Cotton avenue, in that part
of the building at present occupied by
Mr.. w. d. Bailey.
And this Will necessitate general
chaingang of base.
Mr.. Bailey, it is understood, Will
occupy the Horne store, adjoining his
present place of business, while Mr.
Horne will remove to the Allison
store, at jackson and Forsyth streets,
which has been secured for him aIread =
for a stated period.
The Davenport Drug Co. has a lease
upon that building, but has sub leased
it for Mr. Horne who will occupy it on
or about July 1st.
The store now occupied by Mr..
Horne will be handsomely fitted up as

Rev. j. b. Lawrence, rector of Cal
vary Episcopal church, together with
several lay delegates, will go to Savan-
nah today to attend the eighty fifth
Diocesan Convention of Episcopal
Church of Georgia,f 4 which assemblies
tomorrow in annual session at Christ
Church, in that city for three days.
Perhaps the most impOrtat matter
before the convention will be the ques-
ton of dividing the diocese. For two
years the convention has considered
the division, and the committee to
which the matter was referred has
made two exhaustive reports.
When 1t was tacitly admitted at the
Macon convention two years ago and
tentatively decided IN last years con-
ventiOn at Colum bus that the diocese
is too large for one bishop to look after
the matter was left open until this con-
ventiOn.
