AT HEAD OF VETERANS
OF THE OLD BRIGADE
Gen. Davenport is Reflect
ed Again.

With banners kissing the crisp Oc-
tober breezes the "old guard" marched
back yesterday from the Atlanta re-
union, the most successful state as
semblage of the old veterans yet held.
Many of the Americus veterans came
back by the noon train, while the last
train at 10:40 p. m. brought the rear
guard of the gray host In the election
of state officers on the preceding day,
Brigadier General H. T. Davenport of
Americus, commanding the Western
Brigade of Georgia, U. c. ", was ell
ected unanimously to that position for
the full ensuing term Gen Davenport
was appointed brigade commander
some time ago by General Clark to fill
the uneXpired term of Brigadier- Gen
eral De Vaughn, deceased, and his un-
animous election at the hands of his
old comrades attests the very high es-
TEEN in which he is held by the local
camp and others of the brigade he has
served 50 well.

AMERICUS is GOING IN
FORCE TO THE RACES
AutOiStS and Others Will
be There.

Americus auto owners and others
here who enjoy seeing the wheels go
round are going to Savannah in num-
bers to witness the races on Thanks
giving day Low rates and convent
ent schedules and arrangements will
combine to carry quite a crowd from
this city.
These races are to be held under
the auspices of the Automobile Club
of America, an organization composed
of the leading automobilists of the
United States, with headquarters in
New York City.
On November 25 the international
light car race will be run as a pre-
liminary to the Grand Prize race on
the day following. There are six
teen entries from three nations.
America-Three Maxwells, 8
Bucks, 1 Detroit, 1 Gamer
on, 2 Gyroscopes, 1 American Aris-
tocrat.
Italy-One Isotta, I Lancia.
France-Three DeDoins.
There are twenty entries for the
Grand Prize trophy, Italy, Germany,
France and America competing
Among the drivers are the worlds
greatest racers.
The railways have announced re-
duced rates on all lines to Savannah
and probably the biggest crowd of
people Savannah has ever had within
her gates will be on hand
That city is making active prepara-
tion to accommodate the immense
crowds expected, and the entertain
ment committees declare everyone,
whether motorist or not, will be pro-
perly cared for and the hotel accom-
modations will not be exorbitant in
price.
Many in Americus who do not own
automobiles and probably won't until
they are cheaper are equally as much
interested in the event as those who
own cars and are actively identified
with motoring.

DECISION SOON ON
MONUMENT SITE
Delegates From Local Chap
ter Leave Tomorrow.

Carrying with them the hopes oil
Americus for the Wirz monument, Mrs
]. E. Mathis and Mrs. James Taylor
delegates from the Americus Chapter,
will leave tomorrow for the Savannah
convention of the U. D. G.
The honor of having accomplished
the postponement of the unveiline
from Oct 81, the time originally set
belongs to the two ladies and the
Board of Trade, and the same energy
and argument which stepped in at the
eleventh hour and secured a reconsid-
GRAFTON of the monument site, will do
much toward the final step of having
Americus selected as the location OF
the handsome shaft.
Mrs. Mathis stated yesterday that a
site in the court house yard had been
selected, located on both county and
city property. Both the county and
city have granted a site i'll this yard.
The delegates will also be authorized
to refund the money which one chap
ter contributed, and also to make good
the money spent for invitations for
Oct. 81. F..
Being prepared to make good all
expenses incident to change to AM
ericus, the delegates will have only
to argue the merits of the case. 1t is
not expected that the monument ques-
ton will come up before Wednesday
Other cities are working for the
site, including Macon and Atlanta. The
claims of Americus are believed to be
superior to any other place, and the
plan is to convince majority of the
delegates at Savannah of this PROPOSE
ton

lands, to be paid for by the cutting
company as used The sale of the
land is not involved therein, Mr..
Council owning all of the lands and
selling to the cutting company the
timber privileges only, and in which
he, too, is interested.
Mr.. Charles M. Council will be
president of the company, owning a
full half interest therein; Mr. j. l..
Ensign will be vice-president and
general manager, and Mr.. John M.

ties, Florida; the Bennett, Peagler,
Dfckerson and Dougherty interests in
one tract. The Burnett and Lang
dale interests.

Six Miles OF Pines

Stretching along the southern bor-
ders of four Georgia counties and
skirting the northern limits of the
land of flowers is this magnificent
pine forest
The purchase of Mr. Council per-
fects titles to this property, which was
once bought by Col S. H. Hawkins, of
Americus, as an investment. Mr..
Council likewise secures the R. L.
Bowling and r. Lee Ensign interests.
Mr.. Ensign is we'll known in Am
ericus and throughout southern Geor-
gia as an extensive and successful
mmberman and operator.
With title thus perfected Mr.. Coun-
ell owns the largest timbered tract
in Georgia, and the most valuable
one as well.
The requirement of the vast proper
ty, where so many interests were in
volved, was long and tedious, neces-
stating many visits to Florida with
his attorney, Judge James A. Hixon
in the final consummation of the deal.
But success has crowned persistent
effort, and Mr. Council will reap a
magnificent fortune from his purchase
and that quickly.

Buys $1,000
Acres.
Largest Deal in Timber Ever
ssgssssxae~
Effected Here.

Mr. Charles NJ. Council of Americus,
has just closed the most important
deal in real estate, perhaps, ever eff
fected here, involving as it does, sew
enty-one thousand acres of undevelop-
ed timbered lands with a cash consid-
Grafton of one hundred and seventy
one thousand dollars
This 900 represents a
fortune in itself, but it is destined to
more than double itself to the purchas-
er of this magnificent domain in the
pines.
Mr.. Council is receiving many con-
gratulations from friends upon his
successful deal
The property involved consists of
seventy-one thousand acres of origi-
nal pine timber lands lying along
the Georgia and Florida state line.
The silence of this primeval forest
has never been broken by the ring
of the woodman's axe, and remains an
undeveloped mine of wealth

SMALL FIRE DAMAGED
OLD ACADEMY BUILDING

Another small blaze occurred here
last evening when one of the old
academy buildings on east Webb
street was slightly damaged. 1t was
the building at the west end of the
grounds and it was found to be on
fire about o'clock last evening.
George O'Danlel happened to be
passing the old buildings at that
time and finding the old school house
on fire gave the alarm and tried to
quence the blaze with a bucket Of
water. However, the fire had gotten
under too much headway and it re-
quired the fire department to handle
the blaze. The central companies
and No. were called out and soon
had the fire out.
There is much mystery surrounding
the origin of the fire. 1t may have
been started maliclously, while an
other theory is that rats carried
matches and other combustible rub
bish into the place, thereby causing
the fire.
The tract of land on which the
buildings are located belongs to the
school district, but the buildings are
owned by ]. H. Lawrey and Peter
Medernach.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR LA GRANDE.

The first Of the coming month win
see several changes in the business
mems personnel OF the city says the
La Grande Observer. Messrs. Pat
tison will displace ]. d. McKennoh
in the McKennon grocery store, and
already ]. NJ. Berry-another land
mark in the city's hlstory-has been
replaced by his successors, c. C. Pen
nington & Co.
Aside from these two changes the
Fitzpatrick implement house Is soon
TO be under a new management. All
in all, the new month will open new
firm accounts in many ledgers OF this
city.
We are happy to note that none
of these went out OF business be,
cause Of the money stringency, but
all have laid by sufficient world goods
to variant retirement from business.
They made their little stacks" right
here in La Grande through careful
management of business.
Where one has made his income
sufficient to last unto the end now,
many more will be able to equal 1t In
a less number OF years in the fu'
ture.
This will especially be true when
mountain water is poured over now
seml-arid sections of the valley and
the trebled income Of the land own
ers commences to find its way into
the Golfers Of city merchants and
business men.

.ROMAGOUX IS DEAD

Of quick consumption. He died at
421 Marie street and the funeral will
be held from ST. Mary's Catholic
church at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, the service being conducted by
Father Bugei.
The deceased was a man over
whose death there is regret. He had
lived here for 29 years and during
that time became well-known to all
old timers and he was we'll liked by
those with whom he was acquainted.
He was of a very quiet disposition,
He was a native of France and was
born on June 7, 1853 From the old
country he went to Montreal and af-
ter living there few years moved to
st. Louis. He came to Pendleton
from the latter city in 1879. From

as a mason helped in building much
of the town. But owing to i'll health
he did but little work this year.
The deceased was member OF
Eureka lodge No. 32, 1. o. o. F., and
the members of that order will attend
the funeral tomorrow, though not as
an organization. He never married
and the only immediate relative he
ever had in this country was a
brother, Frank Romagoux, who died
here four years ago. Other relatives
are his sister-in-law, Mrs. Frank
Romagoux, and three nephews and
five nieces.

Should these two cases be tried out
