The business of the company, which
has been carried on from threespolnts,
Oconumowoc, WATERFOWL and Rartland.
has been consolidated, making the
headquarters Of the firm in tt is city,
where the business has formerly been
conducted by Miss Ada Lyman, who
is secretary and treasurer, but still
maintaining a branch at Watertown.
In anticipation of / this move, the
work of transferring the Hartland
stock of the property here has been
going on for some time, and the COM
pany's president, A. W. Brown,
formerly located at Watertown, has
recently purchased for his own home
the William C. Lyman place just OPP
poslte the nrusery property, at the
Corner of Summit avenue and the Ar
mour road.
"Mr. Brown is remodellng and ad-
ding to the house on this place. and
will also make extensive improve
ments in the grounds about 1t. Plans
for this work are now being prepared
by the company landscape artist, E.
HI. Niles. who is also vice president
of the company and who has cone
some excellent work in this line for
Milwaukee and OconorUowoc parties.
The plans include the grading and
identifying of the entire grounds,
with an artificial lake and masses of
shrubbery on the east and north side
and broad stretch of open lawn
through the central portion of the

Will be planted during the. season
several thousand plants of new and
varieties of Towering
shrubs and plants which are to be
from France. Most of these
are of varieties which have been
tested in this climate and their addi-
tion to the stock already handled here
will make thus the largest nursery in
the state for ornamental stock and
principally to The lake and
city trade. These goods will be OF
the best obtainable quality of selected
stock. and it is estimated that alto
gether there will he some rs, 900
shrubs planted in the grounds con-

MANAGER WOOTEN
SAYS HOTEL DELAYED
In Month More WayCrOSS
HOSteIry to be Opened.

Mr. E. B. Wooten, proprietor of the
Windsor Hotel, is back from Way
cross for very brief stay. He re-
ports that he will not be able to
open the La Grande Hotel at Way
cross quite as early as planned, and
that it~would probably be thirty days
before the finishing touches are put
on the new hostelry which he will
manage. The La Grande hotel is to
be complete in every way and will
be one of the finest hotels in the
smaller cities of Georgia Waycross
is a growing city and the new hotel
proposition is looked on by the
stockholders as a money maker.
From his experience of more than
a decade as a hotel man, Manager
Wooten will no doubt make of the
new hostelry one of the most famous
in the state While his duties will
keep him at Waycross for the greater
part of the time for the next few
months, he will come to Americus at
intervals to see that the Hotel Wind
sor is running smoothly under the
charge of his son, Mr. John Wooten.

A RALLY TO
OPEN THE BUILDING
Few Thousands Are Needed
Therefor.

Before Sect. T. NJ Lemly of the
Americus Y. NJ. c. A. gives up that
Work to enter upon ministerial work
the directors hope to be able to col
lect sufficient funds to defray the ex-
pense OF completing and opening the
handsome building.
While the building proper is finish
ed, nothing has been done as yet in
the way of providing furniture and
equipment, steam heat and electrical
wiring.
To do this will require something
like $4,000 or $4,000.
And the amount the generous citi-
liens of Americas are expected to
give, and to the end of getting the
money in hand rally movement
will be made.
The Y. M. G. A. anticipates no diff
Guilty in raising this sum of money for
furnishing, etc, now that the build
ing is practically completed. Upon
this there is bonded Indebtedness
of $4,000, but that amount is not due
for some time.
These bonds are being carried by
>two or three of the local banks at s
per cent interest, but as they extend
over period of five years the Assocf-
alton expects to take care of them
later from revenues which will then
, be forthcoming.
In the meantime the purpose is to
raise by voluntary subscription the
$4,000 or $4,000 desired wherewith to
furnish and equip the building for Y.
M. G. A. use
