PROGRESS OF
NEW BUILDING
Y. M. e. A. Home Presents
An Imposing Appearance.


Substantial progress on the Young
Mems Christian Association building
has been evident during the past
week. In fact the exterior work
seems nearing completion
On the front Of the entrance there
has been set in brick the words
Young Mems Christian Association. .
The front entrance itself is nearly
completed. The vestibule extends six
feet back into the building, and
opens into the main hallway. This
entrance will be for the men. The
boys entrance is on Church street
The roof is nearly finished, all the
sheeting having been put on. The
parapets are fully built up and the
coping in place around the building,
A few feet below the top of the
wall will be put>a galvanized iron
cornice.
This week interior work will be
done on partitions and floors Con-
siderable work yet remains to be done
on the basement, where the bath
rooms will be located 1t is estimated
that work sufficient to ocupy two
months yet remains to be done be-
fore the building will be finally in
shape
When completed the building will
be one of the handsomest in a city
the size of Americus in the whole
country The expenses of course are
heavy, and the Association is look
ing to the people of Americus to aid
in the work yet to be done. The
speed of the work will depend in
measure upon the response which
those who have not yet subscribed
make to the needs of the building
committee

the watchword of the Rylander Shoe

be relied upon as being the best, or
the company will make it so. To-

the exchange for term Of one month.
A membership fee of one dollar

those desiring to sell their work as

it deserves.
The kindergarten is too valuable
to Americus to be abandoned, and
the ladies are making a strong effort
to sustain it

PUPILS AT
BOOKS IN NEW SCHOOL
Best Opening of Eleven
Colleges.

The Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical School mas made one
week in its history, and as compared
with the opening of some of the
other schools in the State ours is
second to none of the other schools.
The papers gave out the informa-
ton several days ago that Commits
sioner of Agriculture Thomas G.
Hudson in an interview said: "The
Third District School has made the
best opening of any of the eleven
schools in the State"
At one school the report comes that
it opened with four pupils; a number
of the schools have not yet opened,
and some will not open till Septem-
Der 1st.
The Americus school now has more
than eighty pupils enrolled, these
pupils coming from all the fifteen
counties of the district Superinten-
dent CollAm when seen yesterday,
said:
I'VE are now ready to take up our
work in its regular order. Classifica-
ton has been made and the schedule
of the manual and industrial duties
is being made and will be put into
operation at once.

The Board of Trustees will meet
here next Friday the 18th, to consi-

superintendent Collum stated
that the lights have been installed in
the dormitory, and that the school is
being supplied with water from the
water works.

CREMATION HAS
BECOME COMMON
Moderate Expense Attends
Ceremony.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. Ii
(SpeciaD There are many queer
phases i nconection with cremation.
Last week we'll known physician of
Washington made arrangements for
the incineration Of his remains, pay
ing the hill in advance and stipulat-
ing that the ashes be placed in a
glass jar ana scattered to the winds
from the top OF the Washington mon
ument
The first crematory established in
the United States was at Washington,
Pa. 1t was put up by DR.. Julius LIE
Mayne about twenty years ago, and
for about two years the incinerations
conducted there attracted widespread
attention. Cremation progressed so
rapidly that furnaces were establish
ed and are now in operation in a
large number Of cities and towns.
Natural gas is used in the incinera-
tions in some cities, and this has
reduced the cost so that expense is
now little or no hindrance to the
method. The cost of incineration
averages about 81 and $45 will pay
for the whole service in almost any
city where there Is a crematory. If
one cares to save expenses the work
can be done in Japan at a cost of
81
