AMERlCUS TO. ENJOY A
QUIET DAY IN HANKS
Holiday viii Be Observed
Appropriately
Business Will Be Entire
ly Suspended--Service
This Morning.

Thanksgiving, the day we ceIe-
brate, will be observed in Americus
in a fashion wholly appropriate 10
the occasion, and in manner quiet and
decorous people here will give praise
for the manifold blessings bestowed
For no city or people have been great
er blessed this good year.
The year now rapidly drawing to n
close has been one of prosperity. and
peace and plenty abound in this good
land of ours.
Business here will be entirely sus-
pended today. as always at Thanks
giving, and citizens generally will
unite in quiet enjoyment of the
day. In store. office and workshop all
labor will cease today
There will be a union service this
morning at 10 O'Clock at First Baptist

will be delivered by Rev. ]. Logan
Irwin. pastor of the Presbyterian
church, other ministers of the city

And then will come another feature

little city.
Those OFF from work will pass the
day in various ways. The hunters
will take the opportunity to enjoy
their favorite pastime, and fishermen
will be out in force.
The only popular amusements for
the afternoon and evening will be af-
foFded at the opera house and Bick-
ford s theatre, where select programs
In the best moving pictures and other

And hundreds will thus spend an hour
in this form of amusement.
1t will indeed be a quiet, restful day
for thankful Americus

CITY FINANCES KEEP
IN POOR SHAPE
No Telling When There Will
Be Improvement.

City finances still keep in a very
working of the city out of the slough
into which it has fallen seems to be a
decidedly more difficult proposition
than was believed some time ago. The
financiers of the City Council have
not, as yet, put the treasury on any
better basis, and the outlook does not
indicate that the municipal finances
will show any Improvement in the
near future. The wonder accordingly
grows as to what the tax rate was
reduced for recently The decrease in
the rate, to be sure, affected the city
treasury, it is stated, only to the ex-
tent of about 1000 so far as oper-
ating expenses of the municipal gov
ernment go, but even 81 900 is an
item of some Importance when the
treasury looks more like a barrel with
the head and bottom knocked out than
anything else.
Citizens, of course, are entitled to
be kept posted as to the city's finances
and at the present time the financial
status is probably best expressed by
a great naught. In other words, there
is nothing in the treasury that the
city can really claim as its own. .
If the city were called on tomorrow, ;,
it is understood, to pay the Board of
Education the money received from,
the recent sale of the school bonds
it would have to do some hustling to
meet the obligation and would have
nothing left in the cash box.
The main items of the city's floating
Indebtedness are the SIT, 900 due on
account of the agricultural college,.
with per cent interest for the past
two years. AS an offset against this
there are bonds, not yet sold. to the
extent of 100000 The bond commits
sion has not yet taken these bonds.
If it does so there will still be a large
Indebtedness unprovided for. Then
there Is the $1,000 note representing
money duo Mr.. Crawford Wheatley
Other small accounts are also to be
provided for, and there is, in addition.
the debt due the Board of Education
for the money taken from the bond
sale and which must be paid back
whenever the Board of Education calls
for it. The Board hereafter, too, Is
very apt to insist on the full payment
to it of taxes levied for school pur-
poses.
Exactly when and how the city IS
going to work out of its financial diff
culties Is not known. Taxes are COM
ing in, but there are the regular re-
quirements of the city to be met,
using the tax money up about as fast
as it comes in. Treasurer Hawkes.
doesn't seem TO be able to accumulate
any surplus. At least there hasn't
been any surplus. in sight for some
months now. The mayor and the al
dermen accordingly have some close
figuring to do, and are likely to find
themselves in this position for some
time to come. No man, indeed, is
willing to set the date when they can
breathe free and say that the treas
ury really has any money that it can
call it's own,

together with its contents of machin-
cry, hulls and cotton seed meal, sew
eral carloads of which was packed up
for shipment.
The blaze was discovered at $50
o'clock, and the large building was
well aflame ere the fire department
could reach the scene
Fortunately there was no wind at
the time and by excellent work the
firemen confined the flames to the
seed house. Had the fire crosied
Church street confagration would
have been inevitable
And in such event the loss might
have reached several hundred thous-
and dollars, instead of only $4,000
Burning Cars Are Rescued.
By the time the department arrived
switching engine from the Seaboard
yards had reached the scene and pull
ed away three or four freight cars
loaded with meal. the cars having
caught fire already. They were quick
ly. extinguished with comparatively
little damage to. contents.
Several streams were turned upon
the burning building, and after hard
fight the firemen succeeded in master
ing the situation.
The work was we'll done, and the
department is eomplimented upon
again handling a bad fire.
Within comparatively short dis
tance from the burning building was
the office building and large ginning
plant, with other structures belonging
to the Farmers Oil Company, while
across the street are three or. four
large manufacturing plants which, for
a>>short time. were in danger.

plant, that @af the Home Mixture

Building Burned Rapidly.
With its contents of cotton seed
meal, seed, hulls, etc, the large and
substantial building in which the fire
started burned rapidly and was soon
consumed. A quantity of meal was
damaged, but may be saved in part.
Six thousand empty sacks, just stored
in the building, were destroyed.
The fire will In nowise interfere
with the operation of the plant, either
in ginning or in the manufacture of
oil, as reserve stocks are on hand
and the mill was running as usual
an hour after the fire.

ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN
MUST Be vACCINAtED
Ten Days Given in Which to
Comply With Rule.

Every child attending the public
schools Of Americus who is not al
ready vaceinated must be vaccinated
within the next ten days.
That is the dictum of the Board of
Education and is simply an enforce
ment of the ruse established several
years ago requiring the vaccination
of children attending these schools.
Since the adoption of the rule in
question it has. been rigidly enforced
so far as fresh admissions to the
schools are concerned. Every young
ster coming up for an admission ticket
has been required to. present proof
OF successful vaccination, either in
the shape of the scar or physicians
certificate. But some of the older
children. who We're previously in at
tendance on the schools have not
been vaccinated and the enforcement
of the rule now to be resorted to will
compel each and every one of them
TO submit to vaccination or withdraw
from the schools.
The order of the board to the SUI
perintendent to enforce the rule with
out regard to person or age is a meas
ure intended for the protection of the
children themselves. 1t arose out of
a parent refusing to have young.
child, just entering school. vaccin
ated, and setting up the claim that as
he had two children in upper grades
not vaccinated and there were other
older children who had not been vac
cinated, that he saw no reason why
the little child should have to sub
nit to vaccination.
The boards orders are direct and
to the point Supt. Miller under it|
must ascertain what children are not
vaccinated and notify their parents
that if they desire to continue them
in the public schools they must be-
vaccinated.
Sore arms without number may be
looked for during the next few weeks
as result. Altogether 1t is esti-
mated that there are probably not
over fifty of the older children who
have not been protected against small
pox by vaccination. These are the
ones who will find 1t necessary to call
on the family physicians.
