WEDDING IN MORNING is
CITE A PRETTY ONE
Miss Lindsay and Mr.. Bal
dWin We'd.

The marriage at Ellaville yesterday
morning of Miss Minnie Lindsay and
Mr.. Samuel Baldwin was an occasion
of social prominence in that little city
and of much interest in Americus as
well, where both the bride and
groom are very well known. The
wedding was a pretty home affair
and witnessed by a large assembIage
including many friends from this
city. The brides sister was maid of
honor and the brother of the groom
best man Of the occasion, these being
the only attendants. The rites were
solemnized by Rev o. P Gilbert, pas
tor of the First Baptist church of
Americus, while Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march was rendered by Miss
Margaret Buchanan as the bridal
party entered the prettiIy decorated
parlor. A wedding luncheon was
served at II o'clock, the bridal party
coming to Americus whence Mr.. and
Mrs Baldwin departed for their home
in Atlanta.
The house was beautifully decorated
with roses, potted plants, ferns and
palms.
The marriage will be noted with
pleasure by the many friends of the
contracting parties, the bride being

tising it and bringing settlers, and
business and manufacturers to it.
From all of these classes Albany
has over 700 members in its Business
Mems League. This accounts for
the way in which it has been enabled
to work, the advertising it has been
in position to do, and the fact that
it is in position to keep a high class
man like Mr.. Betjeman in the field
and to have a stenOgrapher at the
home office all the time attending tC
mail matters. 1t takes money tC
boom town, to let the world know
it is in existence and what it offers
in opportunities and advantages, and
the only way to get the money is for
the citizens to put it up.
1t is felt that if Albany has over
700 citizens who are willing to be-
come members of a trade body of
this character, and pay from So to
$50 year to assist in the work of
building up of the city Americus
should have fully as many. If the
men of Americus have as much en-
thusiasm and pride in Americus as
the men of Albany have it will not
be long before the Americus Board
of Trade has permanent headquar-
ters, with fine display of the output
of Americus manufacturing concerns
and of the products of the fine farms
of Sumter county, with a permanent
secretary in charge, with ample lit
erature dealing with the city and the
county, and with an advertising cam
.paign on that will bring results.
1t takes members and it takes mon
ey to do this. Albany, Columbus,
Athens, Rome, Savannah, these and
other Georgia cities are hard at
work along these lines 1t is up to
Americus to do likewise or to stand
still in the race of progress. That
is the situation in a nut shell.

"COMPANY |" FOUND IN
PINK OF CONDITION
Light Infantry is Inspected
Last Night.

Put through the severe tests of
official inspection by regular army Of
ficers Company L, the Americus Light
Infantry, measured up to the mark
last night, as it has done on many oc-
casions previously, and is more than
ever the pride of Americus.
The inspection was rigid, as fully
expected, but the boys in khaki were
the goods just the same.
Major Landers, of the Fourth Ar
tillery, U. S. A, and Major Palmer
retired, representing the State depart
ment, and Major John c. Coart of the
battalion, inspected the company.
The corps of officers inspected the
armory and camp equipment of the
company during the afternoon hours
and when this was completed paid the
company high compliment upon the
neatness and perfect condition ev-
idenced
No other company, the officers said
made a better showing.
Last night Captain c. E. Van Ripper
drew his company up for drill and in
spection at the armory, the rain pre-
venting a drill upon the streets. The
requisite fifty-eight mem were in the
ranks, and the inspection seemed sat
isfactory.
While the officers did not give out
information upon this point, and will
not until their report is made official
ly, it is believed that the company
made a good showing and passed al
right.

TO REORGAN|zE AMERICUS
BOARD OF TRADE
ALONG LINES SUGGESTED BY Mr.. j. A. BETJEMA
To Get Organization in Shape to Do Effective Work
for AmerCuS.

A general meeting of the Americus
Board of Trade will be held on next
Tuesday night, to which all citizens
interested in the building up of Am
ericus are invited.
The purpose of the meeting is to
prepare for the reorganization of
the Board of Trade along the lines
suggested by Mr.. Betjeman in his
address of Tuesday night-lines
which have been successfully fol-
lowed in a number of cities.
Those who have taken the greatest
interest in the Board of Trade, and
all who are interested in the develop
ment of the city, feel that the time
has arrived when the only trade or
ganizatiOn the city has must take
on new life in order to be in posi-
ton to work to advantage for the
expansion Of the city's business and
the development of the city in an
industrial way.
AS Mr.. Betjeman pointed out in his
address, the custom in other live
and progressive cities, where Boards
of Trade are an active factor in the
growth Of their communities, is to
have a graded membership. Whole
sales houses, manufacturing con-
Germs, banks, contribute as their
dues $50 a year. Retail merchants
pay $15 year dues, and individual
citizens pay So a year. Frequently a,
house will become a member, pay it's
dues as such, and individual mem
bers of the company or firm will
then pay S. each to assist in the
movement. In the s. year class
are citizens of all classes of occupa-
ton, statesmen, bookkeepers, mechan-
ics-alI, in fact, who are interested
in the development ftheir city and
who have sufficient local pride and
patriotism to pay an average of 10
cents a week to the work of adVer-

INSPECTED THIRD
DISTRICT COLLEGE
Educator From Illinois
Pleased With School.

Supt. o. J. Kern who is superin-
tendent of the Winnebago County
schools in the state of Illinois, was
in the city yesterday Supt. Kern
is author of Among Country Schools, -
book largely in use throughout the
country as a text on agriculture.
Supt. Kern is in the South investi-
eating agricultural and mechanical
schools, and the general conditions of
agricultural education in the South.
He comes as a committee of one, sent
out by the National Teachers Asso-
citation. This association has been
able to place large sums of money
for educational purposes at the
South. There is a close association
of this body and "The General Edu-
Ecational Board" a board that has
many millions at its command to be
used for the betterment of educational
conditions throughout the United
States.
Supt. Ken came from Alabama to
Americus, to visit n@ Third District
Agricultural AMI Mechanical School.
From Americus he goes to the State
School of Agriculture at Athens
He had not decided whether he would
visit other agricultural schools in
the State, yet it is possible, that he
will visit Monroe in the Fifth, which
is near Atlanta.
Mr.. Kern said: 81 came here first
as it is my information that Ameri-
Gus has the best school in the State"
He took lot of data that will be
issued in report later This report
will be illustrated with a number of
pictures that will be furnished by
Supt Collum.
Mr.. Kern made thorough exami-
nation of everything being done at
the school. He did not confine his
visit alone to the buildings, but visit
ed the farm, the dairy the poultry
yards and other places about the
school.
Supt. Kern was favorably Impress
ed with all he saw at the school, He
saw all lines of the shop work in
operation. In speaking of the shop
work he said: "The boys were MAX
ing hammers and razors. 1 had not
expected to find this class of work
being done in the school, have been
all over the country, but l had to
come to Americus to see my first
razor forged"
Not only the whole State, but peo-
pie from beyond its borders are look
ing towards Americus and the Third
District School, Unless other provis-
ions are made to accommodate pu-
pills wishing to attend the school,
many will have to be turned away
next term. But they must not be
turned away.

TIE
Gen erQl Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists, Price fifty cents
per bottle.

CENTRAL NOT TO
TAKE OFF TRAINS
No. 5 and 6 to be Made
Mixed Train.

Agent Hightower, of the Central
Railway, received a telegram from
General Passenger Agent Halle yes
terday morning, stating that, after
careful consideration, it has been
decided not 40 apply to the Railroad
Commission for permission to with
draw either of the Columbus division
trains.
1t is the purpose now, it is stated,
to change the schedule of the train
leaving Americus lin the morning at
7 o'clock, and have it leave a half
hour later, at 7:30. It will then
arrive at Columbus about 1890 in
stead of noon as now. Coming back
this train will leave Columbus at
$3.50, p. m, instead of as hereto
fore, and will arrive in Americus at
1880 p. NJ, which is the same time
it arrives now, the schedule being
reduced by thirty minutes.
Trains No. and No 6, the regular
passenger train, will hereafter be
| made a mixed train for through
freight business only. Heretofore il
has been solely a passenger train
No. 6, will hereafter leave Columbus
at 8 a. M, and arrive at Americus al
II m. instead of 1870 as heretofore
Returning as No. 5, it will leave Am
ericus at p. m., and arrive at Col
umbus at p. m
By putting a through freight ser
vice on No. and 6, it is hoped tC
make the service sufficiently profit
| able to the railroad to justify it in
continuing the two trains each way
daily.
The changes will probably go into
effect on Sunday, due notice being
given the public.

Association Owns Property

AS told by the Times Recorder sew
eral days ago, the Hospital Associa-
ton no WOWns the property by pur-
chase. The sum of $16OO has been
paid down and only a small bal
ance of $3.50 remains to be paid, and
time is given the Association in
which to pay this amount.
The payment of $1,000 has ex-
hausted the funds of the Association
and temporary assistance in a finan-
cial way will be asked of the city
and county. 1t is hoped soon to
make the hospital self-sustaining
from pay patients, though many char
ity cases are treated there.
These noble women, who have
done such a splendid work in es-
tabhshing the hospital and maintain
ing it for two or three years, de-
serve all praise for their laudable
efforts in it's behalf.

HOSPITAL IS ENTIRELY
CONTROLLED BY LADIES
FORMER OFFICIALS HAVE RESIGNED IN FAVOR OF THE LADIES AUXILIARY
WHICH HAS SINCE ASSUMED ENTIRE CONTROL OF THE AMER.
Gus HOSPITAL @

The Americus Hospital enjoys the
unique distinction of being the only
institution of its kind in the State,
which is wholly and entirely man
aged by women, who conduct it's busi-
ness affairs and have complete juris-
diction in the general conduct of the
institution.
And that the trust is well imposed
goes without saying
Lady officers, president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary, directors and general
executive committee are now in full
control, and will continue to manage
the hospital
This pleasing condition was brought
about this week, when the former
officials, all we'll known citizens,
resigned their respective positions and
requested the Ladies Auxiliary to as
sumo the management of affairs, tax
ing complete charge of the institu-
ton.
This was done in the friendliest
spirit and for the best interests of
this great public charity, as it was
believed, and the Auxiliary readily
accepted the trust imposed
New Officials in Charge
Having thus assumed the manage
ment of the hospital, the Ladies'
Auxiliary merged itself into the
Hospital Association. A meeting
was held shortly after, officers and
committees were elected, and the
policy of the new management fully
outlined
Mrs. P. c. Clegg, president of the
Auxiliary was elected president Of
the Hospital Association; Mrs. Frank
P. Harold, vice president; Mrs
R. L. Maynard, secretary. Mrs. G.
M. Eldridge is treasurer, and Mrs
R. e. Cato, assistant treasurer.
The executive committee consists
of Mrs. c. c. Hawkins, Mrs. James
Taylor, Mrs. G. W. Bacot.
This committee is vested with
the powers OF a board of directors and
will play a very important part in
the general management of the af-
fairs of the hospital

The Physicians to Assist

In their management of the hospi-
tai the ladies have invited and will
have the full and heary cooperation
of the physicians here, six of whom
attended the recent meeting and fav-
ored the proposition of turning over
the property to the care of the
Ladies Auxiliary.
Every physician Will have ac-
cess to the building in the treatment
of patients, and two physicians
monthly selected by the management,
will look after the charity patients
sent to the institution.
Utmost harmony will prevail in
this respect as in all others, and all
interested will work unitedly for the
success of the institution.
The ladies. as stated, will have
entire charge of business affairs, en-
ploying all help required, making all
purchases of supplies, auditing bills
and in every way having complete
and entire jurisdiction And they
will prove full worthy of the trust
imposed

their many friends in the city. For the
mast few days the deceased had been
suffering from pneumonia, but she
had made such brave fight against
the disease that it was felt ana oe-
lieved that she would recover.
The deceased gave birth to a son at
the general hospital last Wednesday.
Her condition for the next few days
was entirely favorable until pneumonia
set in. and this despite every attention
and her own courage she was unable
to throw off.
The husband, two daughters, Mabel
and Eva, aged 10 and 16, and the infant
son survive the deceased. Her mother
and brother reside in Rockford, III.
Mrs. Kasiska, whose maiden name
was Dunn, was born in Baraboo, WIS,
