Several of our citizens are talking of
setting out shade trees and sowing
lawns in the spring. In case they start
this much needed Improvement the city

hibiting stock running at large inside
the city limits.
The residence of II. B. Jones on
Bannock street is nearing completion.

job and has pushed the work from the
start The foundation work was done
by Jack Hurley and is pronounced by
all to be the best in the city.
There is talk among some of the
young men about organizing a mando-
lin club and as there is a great deal
of musical talent in Rjchfield, there
is no good reason why it could not be
made a success. Keep the hall roll

SITE FOR BUILDING IS
AGAIN UP TO BOARD
Selection of New Location
Necessary.

Owing to the refusal of one of the
property owners to consummate the
sale of her property as part of the
site for the new public school build
ing, fronting Rees Park, the Board Of
Education has been forced to abandon
that proposition and look about for
another building site without further
delay.
To this end the purchasing commit
tee OF the board is now negotiating
with other parties.
Another location, equally desirable
but probably costing more money, is
now held under consideration. A
price has been named, and it is quite
likely that the deal will be closed up
with but little delay.
This site, too. is in the near vicin-
ity of Rees Park.
Some time since the Board of Edu-
cation accepted an offer from Mr..
p. l.. Holt and Mrs. Larkin for two
adjoining properties, the two being
sufficiently large for the school
building. Since that time Mrs. Lar
kin, it is said, has changed her mind,
and now declines to sell at all
This has made it necessary for the
purchasing committee to look else
where for a building site, and has al
so DELAYED the beginning of the work
of construction Doubtless the agree.
ment regarding the other property can
be enforced by legal procedure, but
the board would prefer to avoid any
such step.
If the deal now pending is con-
summated the situation will be cleared,
as the new site is one of the most de-
sirable in the city

AMERICUS Is STILL TO
CONTROL THE HOTEL.
Local People the Winning
Bidders, Likely.

There seems not the least doubt re-
garding the official confirmation of the
sale of the Hotel Windsor at the hands
of Judge 4. A Littlejohn tomorrow
morning, and at the bid price-56, 900.
For time it seemed probable that a
delay might result. but those in a po-
sition TO know stated yesterday that
no obstacle whatever was antici-
apted, and that the bid of $56, 500
would undoubtedly be accepted by the
court, and the receiver so instructed.
While the identity OF the purchaser,
OF purchasers, still remains a secret,
it is the prevailing opinion that Amer
icus people made the successful bid
and will get the property. In fact, at
least two of the three bids, that of
S56,600 and $52,100, were made by
local capitalists, it is understood. At
all events the secret of ownership will
be revealed tomorrow morning when
Judge Iittlejohn finally passes upon
the bid of $56,600 This amount will
cancel all indebtedness upon the
property and leave $4,000 or $1,000
to be divided among the stockholders.

GITY'S FINANCES AS
THEY NOW ARE
Taxes Have Not Yet Begun
to Flow In.

The city finances are not yet out o.
the condition of stringency that has
marked them for some weeks past.
Taxes of various sorts come in slowly
as yet, and had it not been for the
bond money for the school building
there would, it appears, be an actual
deficit of $2,67161 in the quarterly re-
port of the Clerk and Treasurer AS
it is his statement presented to Coun-
Gil shows n bash balance Of $20,32S. 80,
bue included In this was the $4,000
derived from the sale of the school
bonds-or at least all of it was in
cluded that could be included in q
smaller amount than the original.
Money will soon be flowing in, how
ever, and the city will then enjoy
again the delight of an actual balance
to it's credit in the local banks.
The City Treasurer's report is al
ways interesting reading to citizens.
and especially to taxpayers who study
it TO ascertain where their money
goes. Here is the statement presented
at the meeting of Council on Wednes-
day:
T. n Hawkes., Clerk and Treasurer,
in account with Mayor and City Coun-
Gil of Americus, for first quarter COM

MARKET is AGITATED;
SWEEPS WILL GO HIGHER.
WOman's Ready Weapon to Advance
in Price.

Americus married men who have
been dodging brooms i'll the hands Of
irate "helpmeets" (nit since the re-
treat from the altar, will be interest
ed in knowing that this deadly weap-
on is advancing in price, and will
soon be at a figure where it will be
classed luxury in the average home
cage.
For the manufacturers, in the inter
est of battered and mutilated hus-
bands, are putting brooms out of
reach of the average bellicose dame.
"A broom you paid 20 cents for will
cost 40 cents now. Inside of couple
of months. you will pay Is cents for
the same broom.
What is the trouble? A combina-
tion OF circumstances. First a short
age in broom corn, the crop being
more than half the usual output. Sec
ond, a corner on the crop by a COM
bination. And the two conditions will
make the house broom triple in price
to the consumer before the winter is
ended
From the broom corn country there
came reports of a shortage in the
crop. Not much more than half q
crop, said the growers.
Let's see, said the manufacturers
| A short crop means brooms must &c
up considerably. Why not make {
killing while at it? Let's corner tbs

ever price we desire on brooms. &c

BALES BYHUNDREDS GO
EASILY AT TOP PRICE
Frost Scare Gives a BULGE
to Values.

Thirteen cents was freely paid by
Americus buyers yesterday for the
leecy; so freely, in fact, that local
stocks were considerably reduced
Hundred-bale lots were swept off the
boards at thirteen cents, and not
word of complaint made by the hapnv
seller regarding the hoodoo figure.
For thirteen cents-$65 Der bale
looked mighty good to him. and he
seized upon it like the proverbial
duck upon the Junebug.
But at the same time if looked GOOD
for higher prices.
The frost scare yesterday boostad
values, and as the crop seems very
nearly gathered the prediction of fif-
teen cents cotton is again in eyi-
dence. Everybody now except some
OF the buyers, believe in Is cents cot
ton.
And even these Doubling Thomasas
will ere long regard that fancy fa-
ure as about right
Frost now would help the situation
from the standpoint of the farmer as
it would cause the green boIls to omen
and hasten the gathering of what re-
mains of the crop. Of course fine
greater portion of it is picked out al
ready. but in scattered localities
where there were late rains. the croo
is little better
Americus has received already near
ly 23,5OO wagon bales"-the kind that
bring money locally, and is good" for
1000 or 5000 more ere the season
closes. Probably 10000 bales have al
ready been received at the Americus
Compress, and this number will be
doubled ere the fleecy has ceased to
flow
Based upon - 1-2 cents-a modest
estimate, the cotton already sold in
this season has brought the
fortunate farmers here one and a half
million dollars.
