THE ADVANTAGES OF AmERlcus
Brought 80 Attention Ey Newspaper
Article

Among Americas newly acquired
citizens is Mr.. Herman Cordell of
Rhode Island, who came here a few
days since and already has enough
work in his line, that of artistic paint
er, to keep him employed for weeks.
The manner in which Mr.. Cordell's at
tention was called to Americas is inter-
esting. While at work in Rhode Island
one day, at the dinner hour, he un-
wrapped his lunch from a newspaper,
and while eating it his eyes fell upon
an article written from Americas. 1t
told of the advantages of Americas;
how skilled labor was needed here. He
was interested, and the result was that
he came Southland to Americus. He
is well pleased, and not only will he
bring his family here but will write to
friends in Little Rhody" to come to
Americas to engage in business. All
that is necessary to induce people to
come here is to let them know of our
advantages. Judicious advertising
will do the work.

SITE OF BUILDINGl is
FIXED AT LAST.
Government To Accept Bank
Property.
DECISION is MADE WEDNESDAY
Hotel Park Property is Taken BY
Treasury Department for Americus
Postotfice site-5uiidine Operations
Wi! Begin Shortly

The hotel park property was accep-
ted yesterday by the Treasury depart
ment at Washington as the site of the
Federal building to be erected in
Americas, and it is now confidently
expected that building operations will
be entered upon within the next few
weeks.
Thus, the momentous question is
settled, and Americas is pleased.
Information of the action of the De-
partment in accepting the hotel park
property was conveyed in telegram
from Congressman E. B. Lewis, who
has given the matter much attention.
The site thus selected is probably the
most advantageous in Americas. 1t
fronts three of the principle business
streets, Lee, Lamar and Windsor; and
it's location, in the heart of the city,
with an, environment most favorable,
could not be improved upon,
| In fact, citizens of Americas are
practically unanimous upon this site,
as evidenced by the petition signed by
hundreds of business men requesting
its selection by the Department.
And the decision yesterday meets
general endorsement here.
This property, fronting 122 feet on
Lamar street and extending back on
Lee aud Windsor streets ITO feet to an
alley, practically block within itself
is owned by the Bank of South West
ern Georgia, and was offered to the
| Government for the sum of $4,000
only.
The price is deemed a very moderate
one, as the property is fully worth the
money and would bring it readily il
sold for other purposes.
And now that the selection is deter
mined, 1t is expected that an early
start upon the handsome building will
be made. Marble and granite will be
the material used. And while the
appropriation is but $5O,OOO the build
ing will cost double that amount.
This is usually done in the case OF
public buildings, the general defcien-
cy bills" providing additional funds
for the completion of Government post
offices and public buildings generally,
where the original amount provided
| does not cover the entire cost.
Americas felicitates upon the acquis-
ition of this splendid structure, raised
upon the site selected.

collected to be expended for a monu-
ment to the late President Samuel
