WORK TOBEGIN ON new
BANKING QUARTERS
Bank of Commerce Will
Have Handsome Home.

Monday morning the work of tearing
out the old postoffice with view to
its reconstruction for the purposes of
the Bank Of Commerce will begin.
Ninety days from then the bank ex-
poets to enter on its occupancy OF
quarters that will be as handsome as
any in Georgia and as commodious as
those of concerns elsewhere that
are now doing considerably
larger business than any in this
section. The bank simply expects
to grow up to it's new home.
The contract for the reconstruction
of the postof1ice into thoroughly
modern room was given to Mr.. George
w. Muller. Of Atlanta. There were
several bidders for the work.
The entire inside of the large room
will be torn out and the banking quar-
ters will represent practically new
structure, SO far as the ground floor
of the building is concerned. The two
arches facing Forsyth street will b9
opened up and directly on the inside
of them will be a magnificent vesti-
bule the entire width of the building,
and ten feet in depth. This will be
tiled foored and otherwise made an
attractive entrance to the banking
room. From this vestibule one en-
ters horse shoe lobby, some twenty
five feet in depth. On the left will be
the cashiers office, adjoining it the
teller's office. On the right will be q
ladies writing room. Around a marble
column in the center of the lobby will
be the customers check counter. All
of the wooden pillars will be removed
and in their place will be substituted
three. marble columns. In the main
banking room to the rear will be u
directors room, built in.
THE furnishings will be of marble
and mahogany. The ceiling will be Of
steel plates. Throughout everything
will be solid and handsome. The pres
ent government vault will have new
doors put in, and will be divided into
two compartments and otherwise re-
modelled for the banks needs.
When completed the Bank of Com
merce will have a home of which 1t
and Americus may we'll feel proud

The above are the speakers for the
dinner with which the City of Amer
Gus and THE County of Sumter will
entertain the Georgia Weekly Press
Association and other guests on nexl
Tuesday night at Armory hall.
e. A Nisbet, Esq, will preside at
the dinner and act as POSTMASTER.
Indications are that it will be nee
,essary to provide for 250 at the
dinner Not only the weekly papers
but nearly all of the leading daily pa
pers of the state, and several South
Carolina papers will be represented
ut the dinner and on the tour of Sum
ter county in the afternoon with the
peach feast at the Ware orchard
The class of speakers for the din
ner bespeaks the Importance of the
meeting. 1t is the finest list OF
| speakers ever gathered at a press as
sociation meeting in Georgia. Every
effort has been made to make the
y
way to any previous meeting
The local invitations will be very
limited to the dinner but the dinner is
open to all Americus people who de-
sire to attend at the price of $3.50
Those desiring to secure tickets for
the dinner can do so through Mr.
Crawford Wheatley, Mr.. L. A. Morgan
or at the Times-Recorder office. All
desiring to attend must secure tick
cts by 2 O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The ladies of the Hospital Asso-
citation are preparing to serve the
| best dinner they have yet furnished
on a public occasion. There will be
more than an abundance. And the
cooking and the service will be un-
surpassable. A number of the sweet
est and prettiest of the young ladies
of the city will probably be enlisted
To assist in the service and add still
more to the pleasure of the occasion
For the auto Tde on Tuesday after
noon it will be necessary to enlist the
/ services of probably 60 to 70 machines
| 1t is especially desired to show the
visitors the country and the roads
and to impress on them the wonder
full agricultural possibilities of this
section.
The committee of which Mr.. Arthur
Rylander is chairman will doubtless
take hold of this feature at once, lay
out the route and otherwise make al
the necessary arrangements.
From now on Mr. Lacey A Morgan
will act as general secretary of the
committees in charge of the reception
and entertainment, he being thorough
ly familiar with such meetings
through attendance at them for many
years.
If the people of Americus sustain
their old-time reputation for gener-
Gus hospitality on this occasion, the
convention of editors for 1910 will &c
down into history as the red letter
event of the associations history.
The Americus Railway and Light
Company will wire the dining hall and
install six electric fans to cool the
atmosphere as its contribution to the
success of the occasion.

friends that his reelection has been
assured from the start.
