"Sir," said the young man, respect

millionaire. 1t seems presumptuous in
me, no doubt, to aspire to the hand OF
your daughter. But my love for her is
so great that I cannot be stopped by
such considerations. Love scorns con.

The old magnate seemed interested.
"But which of my four daughters dc

Eagerly the sutton made answer:
"Oh, I'll leave that to you, sir"

SHOPPING FOR XMAS IS
SOON TO BEGIN NOW
AmeriCuS to Be Mecca of
Buying Hosts.

With tomorrow begins the Christ
mas month" and even now the purse
strings are beginning to loosen bit
in anticipation of the happiness the
owners will bring to others in the
making of gifts at the glad season.
Americas merchants anticipate the
greatest holiday business in years
and are preparing accordingly.
Business conditions are good, pros
perity prevails as never before, money
is in evidence and those who have it
are going in to enjoy it.
Christmas displays are not being
made just yet, but every house in
Americus carrying holiday goods is
quietly planning for the burst of glory
their window displays will carry SO
soon as the shopping season here is
actually on.
An they would emphasize the impor-
tance. of shopping early-"do it now. "
The Consumers League of New
York has formulated set of rules,
which it recommends to be observed
in. the Christmas shopping. They are
excellent and should be generally
adopted. These are the rules:
1. Buy early in the season and early
in the day.
2. Send packages two weeks ahead,
Nntf
Christmas"
8. Minister to actual needs. Give
chiefly to children.
T. Choose presents having either
usefulness or beauty.
5. Demand articles which have
been made and sold under conditions
fair and wholesome to the worker.
6. Remember that Christmas is OF
noble memory. not an occasion fol
! display.
There is lot of wisdom CONDENSED
into these few lines. The early shop.
per, like the early birdlet, gets the
best, wormetically and otherwise, an(
can thus make selections to the bes
advantage-far better than when tn,
rush is we'll on and the stocks picked
over. Start early in the season ant
early in the day.
At the opening of the season thu
stocks are fresh and full In tn
morning hours the stocks are straigh
and the display more attractive thai
late in the day, when many person.
have hauled over 1t.
In these considerations, too, tn
benef1ciaries of the Christmas spiri
are the gamers. Their presents ar
the choicest fruits that are to b
found on the Christmas tree, for tn
very simple reason that those who sc
lect them have ample time in which :
discriminate.
Keep these suggestions in mind an
get down to business.

SALES OF GUANO WILL
Be HEAVY IN SPRING
In Opinion of AmeriCuS
Dealers.

Americus fertilizer men, local man
ufacturers as we'll as representatives
of foreign factories. expect a largely
increased business next spring, due to
the generally improved conditions
here, agriculturally, and the extern
sion of farming operations next year
as the result of high priced cotton
this season.
There are five large fertilizer fac
tories in Americus, the Americus Oil
Co. Farmers Oil Co., Home Mixture
Co, Virginia-Carolina, and the Ten
nessee Chemical, and all have been
busy this fall in the manufacture Of
fertilizers.
. The sales season has not opened
yet, but it will shortly.
1t has been the custom for several
years to send statesmen out about the
latter part of November. This year il
appears that none of the houses will
send their men out for orders before
the latter part of December or the
frs tof January.
Reports of collections for the last
seasons business are very good. and
it seems that when the first of the
year comes most companies will start
the new season with accounts in bet
ter shape than ever before.
High prices for cotton during the
year have enabled the farmers to pay
up fertilizer notes more promptly
than heretofore, and makes the bust
ness outlook brighter than for several
seasons. That there will be big de-
mand for fertilizers this season there
is no doubt
Owing to high prices for cottonseed
meal and ammoniates these fertilizers
will be higher this season than last
The acid and potash is ruling at about
the same as last year, and there will
hardly be any difference in the price

GlIlZENS IN FAVOR OF
UNITY IN CITY AFFAIRS
Progress of AmeriCuS is
JeOpardized
In Warning of Factions
and Pulling Apart In
stead of All Interests
Pulling Together.

The municipal election now pending
commands interest surmounting all
other matters. and the selection of
men who will aid in the control Of
city affairs during the next year will
be made with more than usual care,
The selection of clear-headed. con
seryatiye business men is urged above
all else.
Many names have been suggested
and doubtless from among these, when
formally announced, the voters will
make their choice.
The several articles appearing in
the Times-RecoTder recently, both ed
itorial and local, pleading the advance
ment of Americus along all lines ma
terial have struck responsive chord
and are widely commended.
Our citizens want unity of purpose,
general pulling together for the
good and upbuilding of Americus.
That purpose is now uppermost.
They believe that the time is at
hand when personalities and personal
ambition should be put aside. and
that those who may be honored with
election to the council shall accept the
trust with the firm purpose of work
ing hand in hand for the general and
substantial upbuilding of the city.
Americus needs such unity of ac-
ton now as never before It is of the
most vital Importance.
1t is lamantable truth that moth
ing has been accomplished this year, q
fact due largely to lack of unity
among those in control of matters
municipal. Our streets should be
paved our library sustained-these
and a score of other needs are un-
supplied for lack of this unity of ac-
tion.
1t is time for this to cease, and the
new members of council to be elected,
as well as those members holding
over. must resolve to get together for
the general good of Americus.

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 29.-Americus
is to be given stop-over privileges on
the Seminole Limited within a short
time now. Arrangements are made
to that end, and tourists coming from
the West by the Centrals magnificent
train will have an opportunity TO stop
over at Americus for as long a time
as they desire either going to or re-
turning from Florida. This was the
statement made to a Times-Recorder
representative by General Passenger
Agent Halle in discussing stops being
made at Americus to induce GER
tain class of tourist travel to come
that way.
The Central Railroad will do all 1t
can to promote the interests of Amer
icus in that direction was the assur-
ance received from MIR. Halle. Amer
icus has suffered very much in the
past from its poor hotel accommoda,
tons" said he, "and we are certainly
glad to know that it now has a strong
likelihood of having an up-to-date
hotel. 1t win be a great assistance in
building up the city.
While, of course, the big rich may
not be induced to visit places that are
not prepared to cater to them lavish
ly, there is a considerable class of
well-to-do people who might be in
duced to stop over at Americus tt
visit Andersonyille and to look about
for investments. We would very much
like for Americus. get in touch with
such people. Whatever promotes the
interest of that section of the state
helps the Central Railroad
I'VE will do whatever lies in our
power as soon as the Board of Trade
of Americus has its pamphlet out. We
will take pleasure in providing for
frS distribution on the Seminole Linn

may be apt to prove beneficial. The
book should be gottehS~0l ~ 2ttractively
and be made a credit 10 what we rec
-ognize is one of the most promising
sections on our system.
Cheap pamphlets repel people, but
a handsomely gotten up. one is cal
culated to do permanent good by be-
ing saved for future reference
There is no doubt of the hearty CO.
operation of the Central officials in
any steps taken to induce Western
travel.
1t is clearly pointed out by them
though, that nothing can be done until
the Windsor hotel is in good shape
and prepared to furnish good accom-
modations in an up-to-date manner.
Tourists might be repelled with the
hotel in the condition it is now in
the experienced handlers of travel as
sert, and it would be a mistake 10
bring any until everything has been
renovated and improvements COM
pleted.
