THAT THIEF is STILL
ENJOYING HIS CIGARS
Police at Sea Regarding
Burglar.

Doubtless enjoying the discontinue
of the police in their futile efforts to
catch him, the young burglar, who
made the sixth successful raid upon
Americas stores a few nights ago
continues to puff Joe Browns fifteen
cent cigars and count his money.
Sixty five dollars in cash and sew
eral boxes of Perfectos will go far
towards making summer, a glad holt
day for this window climber, who al
ways gets off scot free.
No clue to his identity has yet been
discovered by the police.
Citizens generally believe that all
these burglaries here were committed
by the same high-class artist.
First, Dodson's Pharmacy was en-
tered by a rear window; ditto the
Harris Hardware store; ditto the
Sheffield-Huntingto Co. Next, the
Thomas store, opposite the police sta
ton, was robbed twice, although this
fact was not generally known until
quite recently.
In both raids on the Thomas place
the thief got good sum of money
Resting a whole week, he then raided
Browns place for about 1925, and is
still enjoying sweet liberty.

1t has become noticeable that one
of our competitors (only one) will inn
itate many things we do or say, even
to an expression FUSED in mere Jest. "
For instance, if we put out an Irish
potato, which from long experience
we have noticed will abundantly yield
in our latitude above all others in
quantity, earliness, and flavor, then
me hear an imitation promptly from
1T, claiming the identical thing, and
when a customer in mere jest tells us
the potato bugs do not eat our vines,
we find 1t advertising that they do
not eat his too.
But they do eat our Uride Potato
vines and it remains with him and
his customers to see if they do not
eat the Imitation ones as we'll.
We expect for "Bearsfoot," Liver
Laxative" and everything we do to
be initiated by 1T, but for goodness
sake when the public finds out who
does misrepresent, that they will not
hold us to blame for any infringe
ments. Respectfully yours,

KICKS ON LICENSE AND
SHUT UP THEIR CAR
Agents for Supply House
Here.

When an agent for an alleged Ken
lucky wholesale house opened q car
at the Central depot here yesterday
and began delivering goods, collect
ing the money therefor, City Marshal
Feagin entered the arena and de-
manded license.
This was done upon the advice of
Alderman z. S. Childers, who acted
in the absence of Mayor Hawkins.
This new edition of agricultural
train" entirely shorn of political
trimmings, was dealing out salt, pep
per, spice, catnip and other condi
ments so handy in the springtime.
Some time ago agents for the con-
Germ toured the section in and near
Americas and took orders for goods
for future delivery. The delivery
ripened yesterday, but the agent in
charge of the agricultural special
kicked when license was demanded
Rather than pay he shut up shop,
and purchasers will probably get their
goods elsewhere.

FIRE PLUGS ARE GIVEN
A FLUSH LONG NEEDED

The fire plugs in the business dis
trict, that is, many of them, were
flushed yesterday and the accumulated
mud and sediment washed out This
should be done often, from a sanitary
standpoint and more particularly at
the ends of water mains, where mud
and sediment accumulates. And now
that the city authorizes have begun
this much needed work of cleaning
up, it should by all means be extend

standpipe, holding the city's water
supply, has not been washed out in
six months, and the bottom of the

TO KEEP AMFRICUS
WELL POSTED
Board of Trade Applies to
Commission.

At the meeting Of the Board of
Trade on Tuesday night the Secretary
was directed to communicate with the
Chairman of the Georgia Railroad
Commission and request that the
Board of Trade be kept posted relative
to ANY proposed changes of railroad
schedules affecting Americas.
This action was the result of the
reported intention of the Seaboard to
discontinue the morning train from
Helena to Columbus.
While it appears that there was
some error in the report as to this
train it was felt by the Board of
Trade that it would be best for the
interests of Americas to keep in close
touch with the situation at Atlanta.
The directions to Sect. Pruitt were
the result.
There is no law apparently requir-
ing the Commission to notify the
cities affected by proposed change,
although out of courtesy the Commits
sion notified the mayors of Americas
and Albany when the Central applied
for permission to stop No. Z at Am
CIRCUS instead of going on to AL
bany.
There is no doubt that the request
of the Board of Trade will be honored
and that it wilf be given full notice
from Atlanta of any application which
may be filed before the commission
affecting the interests of Americas in
any way.
