LITTLE THOMAS EUGENE CONLEE
"There is a reaper whose name is
Death.
And with his SICKLE keen,
He reaps the gray bearded ain at a

And the flowers that grow between"
The poet expresses an ever present
truth, but if is not possible to fully
realize its force till some young life is
brought to a sudden end. Then, and
only then, can we sympathize with the
loving heart that put such a serious
truth in such beautiful language. We
feel sure, however, that Mr.. and Mrs.
Marion CoRlee, who on August z5th,
1909. parted witt their FIRST born son:
can understand the real msaaiHs d flfe

BODY FOUND IN ASHES
BOY BURNS TO DEATH
MCMichaeI Boy Burned to

Son of Negro Watch
man Lost Life We'd

Early watchers yesterday morning
at the scene of the recent confagra-
ton found the charred body of the
negro boy. son of the old night watch
man, McMichael. The boy could not
be found while the fire ragged and even
then it was feared that he had perish
ed, though his fate was not known
until yesterday. The boy, 16 years
of age, was in the building before the
fire started, and it is the belief of
many that 1t was he who upset the
lantern and started the $4,000 blaze
The boy, it Is said, was subject to fits,
and while. seized with a spasm may
have knocked over the lantern In the
possible absence of his father. The
story told by the old negro of at
tempted murderous assault upon him
by an unknown party, who threw a
club at him and knocked over the Ian
tern, has decidedly flshy flavor and
is generally discredited.

designated tourist points Of the South
and enjoy the benefits derived from
the consequent wide advertising and
the visits here of hundreds of pros
porous men from the West every win
ter.
The good roads campaign, which
has been productive Of so much fine
highway construction during the past
year or two, promises to have tre-
mendous influence in drawing tour
lists to this point. The fact that there
will be reaching out from the city
many miles of magnificent roads will
have a great persuasive influence in
bringing travel here. Add to this tn-
ducement the attractions of the re-
modelled, thoroughly renovated, in
every wise improved Windsor Hotel,
and the combination Is seen to be an
irresistible one, especially when 50
many other strong reasons offer why
tourists should make use Of the adj
vantages here as a winter resort.
Mr.. Sheffield and Mr.. Council, each
in his sphere of useful activity, is
doing a magnificent work for Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county. While
neither has any direct connection
with the other in the work he is do
ing their mutual operations tend to
the same end. They are today doing,
and the statement is made advisedly,
more for the future upbuilding of the
city and county, from any material
standpoint that is taken, than any
other two men within the borders Of
Sumter county.

TRAIN THAT WILL
BRING TOURISTS HERE
Finest of Any Operated in
the South.
Americus VIII Be Ad-
vertisedin Descriptive.
Matter Issued By
Railways.

Since it has become known here
that Americas is to have tourist rates
and that either this season or next
this city will be put into di-
rect touch, through the railway adver-
tising matter, with the tourist travel
of the great West, especial interest
has been aroused in "The Seminole
Limited the special tourist train op-
Grated by the Illinois Central from
the West to Florida. This magnif-
Gently equipped train, one of the finest
operated in the entire country, passes
through Americus every night at mid
night. Its initial trip through here
this season was on Tuesday night of
this week
THE Seminole Limited" is the most
up-to-date train ever operated from
the West to the South.
1t consists of two Chicago ackson-
vile sleepers, one St Louis-Jackson-
vile sleeper, one chair car, one COM
bination baggage and seat car, one
mail and express car and one dining
car, a total of seven cars. Tuesday
night there was an extra sleeper at
tached
The dining car with its individual
electric lights and elegant service, is
particularly attractive, but it is stated
that the dining car that will form d
part of the train from now on will be
still more elegant in it's furnishings
and appointments. All the equipment
is just out of the Illinois Central shop,
being either new or remodeled cars
The chair car, No. 1901, Illinois Cen
tral make, was of steel, and had the
distinction of being the first all-steel
car that ever passed through Ameri-
Gus. The appointments in that car
are really luxurious. Even in the sec
ond-class coach the furnishings are
of high order,
The Illinois Central has issued a
Seminole Limited Folder that is a fine
advertisern- The folder title reads:
New solid, fast train of the Illinois
Central, via Birmingham, Columbus, |
Albany to Jacksonville" The line IS
called 'The Central Route to Florida
and Cuba" Under the heading, South
eastern cities of interest to the tour
ist," are sketches of Columbus, Savan-
mar, Jacksonville, st. Augustine and
other cities. A descriptive sketch If
Americus and of the historic Ander-
sonville cemetery national park will
be made a special feature of the ad-
vertising matter as soon as Americus
announces that it is ready to receive
tourists.
The distribution of the booklet will
be wide through the west and north
west, in the territory tributary to the
Illinois Central, and it's connections.
1t will reach hundreds of the wealthy
farmers who make trips every winter
with an eye for business. In addition
to the special prominence Americus
will be given in this railroad adver-
Using, the Illinois Central will handle
in it's western offices descriptive mat
ter furnished it by the Americus
Board Of Trade, such as the illustrated
pamphlet which will probably be is
sued within the next thirty days.

On two different lines, yet on lines
that point to the same end, the devel-
opment of Americus and Of Sumter
county, two of the leading business
men of Americus are working jealous
ly, giving largely of their time and en-
ergies and with an assurance of prac-
tical and far reaching results that
will be of great value to the city and
county and intensely gratifying to
them as a reward for their exertions.
Good roads and good hotel, while
at first blush they may seem to have
no connection and no common pur-
pose, yet are inextricably joined to-
gether as powerful factors in the de-
velopment Of city as a tourist point.
Every mile of good road that Is
constructed in Sumter county Is a
lever with which to work tourist
travel. Every dollar that is expended
in the Improvement of the Windsor
Hotel is an agent to the same end.
Good roads without a good hotel
would be to no purpose. A good hotel,
in these days when tourists love the
outdoor life of driving, and riding,
and automobiling, would also have Its
usefulness greatly impaired without
the fine highways. So these two citi-
zens of Americus, Mr. Frank Sheffield,
chairman of the County Commission
ers, and Mr.. Lee G. Council, owner
of the Windsor Hotel property, are
really working together to the end
that Americus may become one of the

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1909-04-02

Our state of Michigan, with her
high rank in educational work, has
long enough suffered the reproach of
niggardly compensation for her chief
educational director, the state super
intendent of public instruction and
is entering now upon new era in
which. with an adequate salary for
that important office, she shall re-
ceive the entire service of its in
cumbent. This has not heretofore
been expected; and the officer has
ben accustomed to give much of his
attention to private business for his
necessary maintenance, while the
public duties were largely entrusted
to better paid deputy. By opera
ton of the new constitution which
removes the bar in that respect, the
superintendent now to be elected
will be relieved from that condition,
and will give to the state his entire
attention. 1t should be remembered
to his credit that Mr.. Wright, now
renominated to that office, did under
take to do that under the old made
quate salary of $1,000, and kept 1t up
for an entire year, when he found
himself compelled to go back to his
teaching to make up his necessary
living expenses.
