SHADES OF GREEN.

Green in many shades. from the Empire to the delicate tones of grass and apple green, is charming in crepe de chine and such-like fabrics. one example in Directoire style Is carried out In pale green and shows a skirt opening on the right side over an ac- cordion-pleated silver gauge, which ap- pears again on the under bodice. The panel at the back and in front is em- broidered in green and gold, and fas- tens with quaint buttons.
 Of course, one cannot definitely say what the fashions are going to be. De- casionally we see high-erowned hat with an immensely high trimming, and then beside 1t appears flat Eighteenth Century shape simply wreathed with flowers and fruit in heterogeneous masses.
 Then we have the loose Empire or kimono wrap as well as the tight fitting Louis XVI coat. We have the polonaise of the early sixties and the most up-to-date trotteuse skirt worn with the cutaway sacque coat. for the most part sleeveless.

ASSISTANT FOR
CHURCH PASTOR
Rev. BaSCOm Anthony Will
Petition Council.

At the last Methodist conference
for this district efforts were made
to get an assistant pastor for the
First Methodist church of Americus,
but the move did not succeed. Rev.
Bascom Anthony, who goes this
week to the annual conference at
Quitman, will renew the plea, and has
much hope of success.
Only one Methodist pastor is now
sent to Americus, the First church
being a large one, and besides this
there are two mission churches, one
on Brooklyn Heights and the other
in East Americus. These are under
the supervision of the pastor of the
First church, making his already
arduous duties more difficult.
One of the duties which would de-
volye on an assistant pastor would
be to aid in visiting the congregation
of the central church. AS it is now
it is impossible for one man to carry
on the services of the church and
get around to see the members ex-
cept at rare intervals. It is either
a case Of giving little attention to
sermons and visiting the members, or
filling the pulpit in an acceptable
manner and spending only a brief
time each week in visits.
With the aid of an assistant pas
tor, the regular pastor would have
opportunities for doing much work
which must be left undone for lack
of time. Americus has perhaps the
largest church in the conference, out
side of the larger cities, and stands
greatly in need of the extra help
asked for

BATTLE OF De BANAN
Is WAGED WITH VI6OR
Syridns Here Almost FiQht
Yesterday.

Americus has witnessed many
fierce sales" and price Whacking
recently, but the gent from the Le-
want gave the local bunch a real tir
yesterday when a banana war was
precipitated between rival fruit deal
ers of Americus and Albany.
The clash has been pending for
some time, and it came yesterday when
pentup Syrianic anger broke loose
and was given full play.
And the whole of Americus enjoy
ed the fight, while sympathy, OF
course, was with the home dealer.
At one time pitched battle, with
punches of bananas as weapons, oc-
Cured near the postoffice, and during
the brief conflict whole handfuls OF
the overripe fruit was hurled from
one wagon at the forces employed on
the craft of the enemy.
And as the result Forsyth street
was strewn with the yellow fruit.
Albany Syrians came to Americus
with two carloads of 'de banan," and
began peddling them from wagons
Goods were ''mercilessly sacrificed, -
and as the price cutting continued the
quotations fell to cents a dozen for
culls and sorry fruit.
Much of the stuff was so overripe
that dozens of the yellow bananas
would drop from the stem when lift
ed from the wagon.
w. A. Ayash, one of the principle
wholesale fruit dealers of Americus
who conducts large business in the
opera house block, took up the gaunt-
let hurled by the Albany crew and
threw his entire stock of bananas on
the market.
Two of Ayash's drays were loaded
up with big punches of bananas and
hurried to the front. And thus the
war went on all day.
The price-cutting was evidently
aimed at local dealers, but they will
not be put out of business thereby.
Until Ayash and Thomas entered
business here and put down prevail
ing high prices Americus paid much
more for fruit than at present.
The fight yesterday demoralized the
fruit trade as badly as has been other
lines here recently.

AMERICUS is GOING TO
GET READY FOR XMAS
Already the Holiday Spirit
Prevails.

Americus is breathing already the
Christmas spirit" despite the chok-
ing sensation produced by the near
sales, the redhot city election and
the presence of the grand jury, agen-
cies combined that are calculated to
distract attention from all else.
But Tuesday will usher in the
Christmas month, and despite alleged
hard times Americus people are go
ing to buy literally, as they do al
ways during the Christmastide.
For in reality there has been no
money scarcity here.
''The sales" have unearthed prob
ably $4,000 in cold cash. Americus
has spent $4,000 this year for auto
mobiles, and thinks nothing of giving
up $1,000 for theatrical perform
ance, while the Savannah races cost
Americus not less than 81 800
Merchants are displaying things
which make up gifts for Christmas
and SOME of the things seen in these
windows are tempting.
Hard times" in Americus is only
imaginary. The term is employed
only to evade the payment of honest
debts when bills are due.
Americus will spend just as much
money for Christmas presents this
time as is done always. The yawp of
tight times will be drowned in the
rush of holiday buyers in search of
suitable gifts Americus has as much
money today as ever before in its
history.
1t will simply be question of
dig up" and the purse strings will
be unloosed all right

BAZAR is ABOUT $500
AHEAD TO THE 6OOD
Ladies Scored Big Success
As Usual.

The auditorium of the city hall
was cleared yesterday of its tinseled
booths and floral decorations which
for week delighted hundreds OF
visitors there. and the hospital bazar
of 1908 is written in history with
other splendid successes preceding it.
The ladies in charge have scored q
magnificent success, financially, ana
are to be Congratulated.
Accounts have not been entirely
adjusted yet many articles remain
unsold, but it is quite a safe propo-
sition to state that the bazar will
clear at least $500
And all of this goes to that grand
charity, the city hospital
Throughout the four days of the
bazaar the hall was crowded each af-
ternoon and night, and the musical
concerts and little entertainments ar
ranged for the children were splen-
did successes and heartily enjoyed.
In the dining hall hundreds of royal
dinners and tempting suppers were
served, and the cafe was, as ever, a
feature of the bazar.
The ladies still have on hand, to be
sold for their account, the bale of
cotton generously given by the ware
houses and cotton buyers of the city
together with five tons commercial
fertilizer contributed, one ton each
by the five mills in Americus
The ladies worked hard to make
of the bazar its usual success and
have succeeded well, despite hard
times, the sales" and other like
obstacles in their way

TALE OF THE TURKEYS
AS TOLD BY 1URPIN
Two thousand Big GObbIerS
BunChed.

Americus people who pay Is cents
per pound for turkeys en- feather
should go to Kentucky, the real home
of the feathered emblem of American
liberty and where to cents is
considered an excellent price for
the old patriarch in his priestly robes.
VIII Green Turpin came home
yesterday from a trip to Kentucky
and brought a turkey tale
Il was in I4awrenceburg before
Thanksgiving and saw the greatest
drove of gobblers | have ever look
ed upon. said Mr. Turpin
THE turkeys, all of them fine bronze
gobblers, had been gathered up
among the farmers and were being
driven to market. There were two
thousand turkeys in the bunch, and
they were driven for miles along the
country roads to market, just like
sheep"
Mr.. Turpin was told that cents
was considered quite a good price
for the turks in that country.
That section of the State is in
the grasp of fearful drought, Mr..
Turpin says. Water is dear and is to
be had only for drinking purposes.
Trains from Louisville haul a supply
daily to the smaller towns, while peo-
pie to to Louisville for a bath.
But as few Kentuckians use water
except for bathing and laundry work
the deprivation is not severe while
the distilleries are run.

CAN LEAVE THE TRUNK
A WHOLE DAY LONGER
New Ruling on Baggage is
Made.

Americus people who travel will
trunks and who are slow in taking
them from the cold storage room al
the depot, are given an extension o
time therein, as after Thursday next
December 3rd, all the railroads il
Georgia must allow "a hours foi
checking baggage.
Such was the ruling of the Railroad
Commission yesterday
Heretofore baggabe left for more
than twelve hours has been subject
to demurrage charge of 25 cents q
day
The commission took up this mat
ter recently and it's Investigations led
to an amendment to passenger rule
relating to checking and handling
of baggage. The public must, there
fore, be given twenty-four hours be-
fore demurrage charges can be as
sessed.
A new rule has been adopted by
the commission which requires all
railroads to stop passenger trains
at stations with view to easy egress
and ingress for passengers. In most
instances trains are stopped in way
to expedite handling of baggage
The commission has decided that the
comfort of passengers must be the
first consideration

cular OF the political arena.

Thursday next
The candidacy of Messrs. Clark.
Poole and Hawkins was announced
Yesterday morning, each one declar-
ing the platform upon which he came
before the people. They all stand for
the best interests and material pro-
gress of the" city of Americus.
All three are we'll known gentle
men, with large business interests
here. The success which has attend
ed their individual or private inter
ests entities them to consideration at
the hands of the voters of the city.
AND the same can be truly said
of Messrs. E. B. Everett and S. l..
Sllls, who announce today.
Both are long time residents of
Americus, with homes and business
interests here. They, too, stand for
Amerlcus and her interests, as stated
IN their announcements.
There's the line-up-fiye-from
which three will be chosen.

there will be any other announce
ments, although this statement is a
matter of conjecture only.
1t is known that a determined ef-
fort was made yesterday to put more
candidates in the field, and the pre-
sumption is that were others to be an

be viewed by the voter.

be stated
