CITIZENS TO GALL THE
MEETING ON TUESDAY
Looking to the Naming of
Ticket.

That a meeting of the business men
and citizens generally will be held,
to the end of suggesting an aldermanic
ticket, seems quite certain; and that
such ticket would receive the cordial
support of voters generally is more
certain.
Such is the sentiment expressed
very generally about the city, and the
people seem ready to act.
The suggestion of such action upon
the part of the people, made several
days ago, has met with universal fav-
or Everyone thinks it the best means
of getting out ticket.
Americus has scores of good men,
any three of whom could ably repre-
sent her interests in the council. But
they are not professional Office seek
ers; they do not care to assume such
burden, but they would do it if thus
requested
Patriotic motives, rather than the
pay of the office, would prompt them
to thus serve their city.
1t has been suggested that the
meeting be held Tuesday night, but
this should be done by a formal call
of the citizens If such call is circu-
lated Monday it would receive the
signatures of hundreds of business
men favoring the movement
If the meeting is to be held Tues
day night, the Times-Recorder will
so announce Tuesday morning.

JOINER is STILL HELD
IN LIEU OF BOND
Was Known in Augusta
as Well.

L. G.. Joiner, local representative
of the Pacific Mutual Insurance Co.,
and who was arrested Wednesday
upon warrants charging forgery, is
still in the county Jail here, having
failed to make the required bonds
assessed by Judge Crisp on Wednes-
day afternoon.
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday
has the following article, which is OF
interest in this connection.
IL. C. Joiner, forwerly of Augusta,
has been arrested at Americus, on a
charge of forgery. The allegations are
that JONES as representative OF the
Pacific Mutual Insurance company,
forged duplicates of notes given
by policy holders. Joiner is in jail,
having failed to give bond.
Joiner attained considerable not
oriety in Augusta last summer when
he was arrested on forgery charge,
somewhat similar to that under
which he is held at Americus.
1T was alleged here that papers
forged by Joiner were in a bank at
Gibson and others papers in possess
sion of persons at Spread. Joiner
was represented by Attorney Isaac s.
PEBBLES, Jr and after a trial, in
which teohnicalities played an import
ant part Joiner was acquitted
1T was in connection with the
same incidents chat Mr.. Sol Rabun,
at Spread, Ga, committed suicide
because it was said he owed about
three hundred dollars he could not
pay.
"Rabun was in no way connected
with the forgeries charged against
Joiner, and had never been charged
with any dishonesty.

WELCOME RAIN OESCENOS
Lone Looked for Moisture Comes
10 Dusty Fields

Long delayed and prayed for rain
came this afternoon and with it
brought joy to hundreds of farmers
who feared their grain would never
see the surface of the earth.
Old Pluvius made up for his tardi-
ness, however, by sending down a
copious supply of the money maker
today.
Beginning about 1 o'clock the rain
has been falling steadily ever since
and from all reports is general over
the whole valley and foothill districts
around the Touchet and as far up as
Dayton.
The value of the moisture at this
time can not be overestimated., Had
the rain been delayed a week longer,
say some of the pioneer growers, fully
$4,000 would have been lost. AS it is
the parched ground, where yesterday
was nothing but brown waste Will IN
a few days, be as green as a billiard
table and will look twice as good to

ington and Oregon.

AS the long circus trains unloade1 at

received their annual demonstration of
welcome. The small boy was much IN

they worked with unfagging interest
in assisting men and horses to the cir

features will be added.
There is a set formula for modern
circuses, and one which, departed
from, it would prove fatal for want OF
patronage. They may vary somewhat
in form and quantity. but in spirit they
must follow the traditions. The Nor
ris & Rowe enterprise is properly con-
Quoted and it offers all the ecstatic
thrills and aesthetic delights we de-
mand of a circus. 1t begins in the good
old way. Three bands are united and
march around the ring to a most in

ing after, holding each others tails.
After that are the camels, dromeda-
