Nearly Three Quarters of Century. O

costliest home in this section of
Georgia. 1t was designed as the
home for his bride, Miss Florence

to whom Mr.. Council had been mar

where the family was residing.
Two children, both girls. have
blessed their union
Mr.. Charles NJ. Council has also a
home on Lee street that would be an
ornament to any city. Erected by
Mr.. G. w Glover, it was purchased
by Mr.. Council in 1903. Here he
lives with his mother. AS can be

Here he reared three sons, now
among the most substantial citizens
of Southwest Georgia, men who have
progressed with the rapid develop
ment of this portion of Georgia and
becoming among its wealthiest and
most prominent citizens, Messrs, J..
G., C. NJ. and e, B. Council
Mr. Lee G. Council, the older Of
the trio of brothers, was born in
1869. Like his brothers he was
brought up on the plantation, accus-
tomaG e the labors that fall to the
agriculturalist of this Gd35afisghhorhood'
securing a thorough insight into
farming matters that has not been
lost in the pursuit of other lines of
business.
He was educated largely at the
old Gatewood Academy, built by his
father and three or four neigbbors,
where the noted Capt G. NJ Patter-
son taught, a teacher said to have
had no superior in this section Of
Georgia as a disciplinarian and in
structor. From this school he went
to Atlanta where he took a three
years commercial course in the col
Iege of Prof. B. F. Moore, and ac-
quainted himself thoroughly with
the mysteries of modern business
methods
Returning to Americus, ,,Sthough
then but lad of eighteen he en-
gagged in the warehouse bpsiness, in
association with Mr.. Thomas B.

them their original subscriptions to
the stock and fifty per cent more.
During the same time a large sur
plus, now approaching the 500 0tG
mark, has been accumulated. Few
banks in Georgia can make a better
showing than this, showing that
is not only gratifying to those finan
cially interested in the Institution,
but highly complimentary to the bus
mess sagacity displayed by those
in actual control of its daily affairs.
For some years the Planters Bank
occupied very modest quarters on
Forsyth street, wher the Council
warehouse office now is These quar-
ters were soon inadequate, bucwere
retained until April, 1900, wnen the
present fine home of the bank hay
ing been completed it removed to
these commodious and handsome
quarters.
This thoroughly modern folr-s,ory
building, with a basement for The
banks records, etc, is an instance of
the progressive spirit of the Mess s.
Council. Few there were who be
lieved that such a structure would
be a profitable investment in AM
ericus. The fact that it has been
such demonstrated the good business
Judgment of those who took this
forward step.
The year after the erection of the
Planters Bank Building, Mr.. Lee
Council erected his handsome home
on Church street, a very fine view
of which is given herewith

seen from the accompanying illus
tration, it presents a very attractive
appearance and is generally admir-

Outside of their interests in AM
ericus, the Messrs. Council have large
agricultural interests, operating the
plantations left them by their father
in Sumter county Mr.. f. B. Coun-
Gil the younger brother, has charge
of these and is recognized as one of
the most skillful and progressive
planters of this section.
He has a new and beautiful coun-
try home, on the old plantation,
about four miles from the city. Mr.
e. B. Council was married to Miss
Lamartine Tower, of Americus, in
1902, and has two boys. Mr. Lee

For century to come they promise
to stand as monuments of the love
of well-to-do Americus men of this
day for homes that gratified their
taste for beauty and for comfort.
1t has been nearly seventy years
ago since S. b. Council came to Sum-
ter county from the Old North State.
of which he was native. The long
trip overland from North Carolina
was made in wagons and carts.
1t was several years after he had
located near Americus before the
railroad was built through this sec
ton. In this vicinity his son, G. w.
Council grew up from almost in
fancy becoming one of the most
prosperous planters and highly res
pected citizens OF Sumter.

been carried on successfully without
a break from its inception until to-
day.
Having established this business on
a profitable and growing basis Mr.
Council assisted his father in the
organization of the Planters Bank,
which opened its doors for business
on February q, 1892, with Mr. G.
W. Council as president, Mr.. Charles
NJ. Council as cashier, and Mr. Lee
G. Council as assistant cashier and
actual manager.
In these capacities they continued
until the death of the father in De-
cember, 1900, when Mr.. Lee Council
succeeded him as President, his bro
ther Charles, retaining the position

Two of the most beautiful homes
in all southwest Georgia are in Am
ericus, the homes of Mr. Lee G.. Coun-
Gil and Mr. Charles NJ. Council No
where can there be found homes
that are more substantially built,
that are more attractive in design, or
that embody more of the comforts and
conveniences of modern life.
Situated in the finest sections of
the city, surrounded by other resi-
dences that are pleasing to the eye,
they are an adornment to Americus
and have aided in giving a stimulus
to the erection of other residences in
keeping with the times and the pros
perity and forward sweep of the
community.

QUEEN ELBERTA NOW DETHRONED
Reign for the Season Draws 70 an
End.

Queen Elberta's reign is nearly
over as may be easily seen by the
fact that only seven carloads were
reported shipped from the State yes
terday, making a total to date of
1928 car loads. During the season
it is stated that as many as two
and htree car loads a day have often
been shipped by the express COM
pany which were not reported by
the railway companies, thus run
ming the total up some, and as there
are still a few to be shipped about
1890 carloads are expected to have
been shipped by the time the season
comes to a close.

as cashier, official positions which
they have since retained.
AS he had speedily placed his
Observation-Disclosures on a remunera-
tive basis, so Mr.. Council, with the
valuable assistance and continued
cooperation of his brother, and the
advice of his father, soon started the
Planters Bank on the high road to
a prosperity that has never been
marred.
Beginning business with a capital
of $5O,OOO it paid on the completion
of its first year a dividend of ten
per cent This has been the regular
dividend ever since. In the fifteen
years of its existence it has, accord
ingly, paid to its stockholders $50
per cent. in dividends, returning to
