PLANS OF new SCHOOL
ACCEPTED BY BOARD
Building Will Be Started
Very Soon.
Edifice Will Be Hand
some One and Splen-
did Addition To
School Facilities

A splendid addition to Americus
public school facilities will soon be
afforded in the handsome and mod
ern building to be erected on Elm
avenue, Rees park, the plans of which
have been executed by Architect T. F.
Lockwood of Columbus and accepted
by the board of education.
A fine drawing of the proposed
building, made and exhibited here.
shows one which will meet all require
ments for many years.
The building is designed to cost
about $4,000, exclusive of the site,
and will afford accommodation for
several hundred pupils. Every requi-
site of the modern school building
will be included in the plans.
The material to be used in it's con-
struction will be pressed brick, with
trimmings of granite or oolitic lime
stone 1t will contain nine large class
rooms, besides offices for the super
gether with an auditorium seating 700
or 800 people.
This latter and much needed feature
of the buialding is designed for COM
mencement occasions or similar as
semblages. 1t will contain both par
quette and balcony.
Entering from the Elm avenue
front, the offices on either side are
designed for the superintendent and
the school board. A spacious hallway
leads to the auditorium which oc-
cupies the centre and rear of the first
floor of the edifice.
Five large, airy and well ventilated
classrooms are upon the first floor,
with four of equal dimension upon the
second. The general arrangement of
the building is admirable and reflects
the painstaking care of the architect
in providing all the needs required.
The exterior of the building is mas
-s,s.55Gy@snd handsome. 1t fronts east on
ReeS Park, which, with It's SIX acres,
will afford a magnificent playground
for the pupils.
The new building will thus be cen
trally located, and easily accessible
from all parts of the city. 1t is de-
signed to accommodate the advanced
grades largely, as Furlow school, re-
Gently rebuilt and improved at a cost
of $4,000, will easily accommodate all
the lower grades.
When the new building is completed
in the early spring of next year Amer
icus will have splendid school accom-
modation for 1900 pupils, or 500 more
than the highest enrolment yet re-
corded.

SALE OF THE WINDSOR
SEEMS NOW ASSURED
Property Will Be Dis
posed of Shortly

The sale of the Hotel Windsor
which seems assured at an early date,
is a subject of interest in Americus
and just now is being discussed to a
considerable extent. The sale of the
hotel property has been authorized
by order of the court at the minimum
price of 100000, of which sum $1,000,
it is stipulated, shall go as commits
sions to the agent effecting the sale.
While the property cost, originally,
something like $135,00O, there is no
immediate prospect of sale, even at
the amount named in the order of the
court. Mr.. Crawford Wheatley, re-
ceiver for the property, has given no.
tice that no further bids for the prop
erty at private sale will be received
after II o'clock, noon, October 10th
one week hence. All bids thus made
will be opened and submitted to the
court for confirmation. If the hotel
property does not bring price salts
factory in this manner it will prob
ably be advertised and sold at public
outcry to the highest and best bidder.
1t is reported that parties in Americus
amply able to buy the property, are
contemplating such course, as are one
or two others, non-residents. 1t
seems pretty well assured that the
sale of the hotel will soon be effect
ed in some manner.

Judge Turner was the only lawyer

of the fact that the commission is

appointment Mr. Hutchens was re-
garded as one of the strongest candi-

New York, Oct. At is to be a

to boast of at least one polar costume
