Many wells in the suburbs of Am
CIRCUS are full of water to the surface
as the result of the long continued
rains in this locality.
Hon. T. G. Hudson, state commits
sioner of agriculture, spent yesterday
in Americas looking after his large
farming interests here
A mixed freight and passenger train
on the Seaboard, was partly derailed
near Ocilla yesterday, but the dam
age was inconsiderable.
The little bulls ran in alright from
the bears in the cotton patch yester-
day, and Americas plungers saw the
market sink lower still.
More rain today is the prediction.
Americas is on the water wagon all
right enough, but objects to having it
run on flood schedule
I John Wagnon, an Americas ball
twirler in the professional class, and
a good one, has again signed with
Columbia for the season.
Americas needs more ! frequent jug
trains. The half dozen reaching here
daily from the wet sections cannot
near supply the demand
Cotton bales continue to reach
Americas daily from plantations in
this section. The crop of 1907 was
a bumper one here, indeed.
Perhaps Americas will not feel
proud if she gets the electric power
plant, electric railway and new post
office in bunch this year.
Quie a good deal of store and res
idence property is offered in Ameri-
Gus nOw-more than in several years,
but all sales are at fair prices.
Americas enjoys the distinction of
having the finest concrete sidewalks
of any city in the State, even though
her streets are not paved as yet.
Americas burglars appear to want
the cash only. In five burglaries
here recently, all of which remain a
mystery, only money was stolen.
There is plenty of work at the Sea-
board shops in Americas to keep the
large force there busy, and a nine
hour schedule soon is hoped for.
