Daddy sBedtnne
S+o~ The Story of A
oGOA Cincinnatus

ssWmA AR back in the days of very long ago" said daddy, beginning his
4 I'd bedtime story for Jack and Evelyn, there lived in Rome a wise and
good man named Cineinnatus. He had been rich and great, but he
had lost his money, SO that he lived no longer iu the city, but o a
little farm near Rome. He was known % be a wise and brave man, 81 that
the people came to him when they needed advice.
"At one time there lived in the mountains. not very far from Rome a tribe
of savage men who thought they could take the city away from the Romans.
These savages were good fighters, and they got together a large army, % that
all the Roman soldiers had Ito leave the city to fight them, SAY I'm I'D men
and boys and a few soldiers who we're left to guard the walls rom a sudden
attack. The Romans thought they could beat the sayages easily. The Romans
were a very proud. naughty people.
But soon there cam bad news to the city, Some messengers came back
ito tell that the great army OF the Romans had been caught in the mountains
with the enemy OF ans sides of them, SO that they could not get out. Help was
bsdiy needed, or else all the Roman soldiers would be killed and the city would
Pc captured. What could the Romans do7
"Iet us go to Cfnennatus. He will help u.s. smd son one SO they
went to CINCINNATI They found him blowing in his little field. When he
heard the bad ny g left his work at ON and went to the city. There he
rmas told that If old try to help the amans in their trouble he would
be made king of Rome and they would Civ him permission to do whatever he
pleased.
"C1nctnnatus sale. he did not caref or honors. But he Dol all the boys and
the old men and tho soldiers who were left in Rome and led them against the
enemy. A few days later there came good news from the mountains. The
enemy had been beaten by Cfnefnnatus, the Roman army had been set free
and was on it's way back to the city, and there was II more danger ron the
esvage men of the mountains.
when the arm got back to the city, with Cineinnatus at the head of the
soldiers, great honors were paid to him. He might have made himself king
OF Rome, for no n would say a word against the man who had saved the
city. But Rome was a repubt n which all men were equal In hose days
aud Cnctnnatus did not believe vt it would be well for the city to have a
king. So he declined the honor & went back to the little farm an the
pillow which he had been using when the messengers called Oh him. Ill az

Fire Not Known But Supposed to

Three fires in tie country near
Americus yesterday morning swept
away new school building, a plan

small dwelling and contents. Tho
fires were in different localities and
the losses in the aggregate without
insurance, amount to a considerable
sum.

Freeman lost a small dwelling house
by fire yesterday. The building was
unoccupied at the time, and stored
therein was a small quantity of cot

lost.
The fire resulting in greatest loss
was the burning of the large barn
of Mr.. George D. Jones on his farm
near DeSoto. This fire originated al
l o'clock yesterday morning, and re-
suited in the complete destruction Of
the barn, together with ten tons hay.

SHIFT OF TRAINS
IS PROPOSED
BY CENTRAL
AmGFiCuS May Have New
Route to Atlanta.
While: Central Train Now Stopping
Here 1920 P. M. May Continue TO
Albany---SuggeStiOn is Approved
BY Many Here.

Amer:cus to Atlanta by way of Co
lumbus is a new and quicker schedule
that may be adopted by the Central
railway in lieu of the circuitous route
via Macon, as now employed-thle Sem
mole Limited train to Columbus, and
thence by the Centrals morning train
via Newman to Atlanta.
SIch, at least, is the possible change
suggested, in connection with the shift
ing Of other trains.
The route via Columbus to Atlanta
is shorter in mileage and the schedule
from Americus one hour faster, the
train arriving there at 10 o'clock a.
M, instead of at II.
The Seminole Limited starts over
the Central at Albany and passes
Americus at 1925 a. m. for Columbus
and Birmingham. Passengers at
Ame1icus for Atlanta would start but
little earlier than now upon the jour
ney, changing cars in Columbus.
The trip can be more quickly made
oy this route, and the train service
is even better.
From Macon comes the information
that this schedule is being consider
ed, though nothing of definite nature
has been given out Such schedule
would serve the public over 1O4 miles
of territory between Albany and Co.
lumbus.
At the same time this change is eff
fected the Central might continue its
night train, No. Z, which now lays
over at Americus and returns to Ma
con and Atlanta next morning at
4;25, on to Albany. 1t would leave AL
bany about 6 o'clock next morning for
Macon, purely as local train.
Passing Americus about 1870 o'clock
a. M, it would bring many people
here from towns below Americus and
afford them a whole day for shopping,
or until 1920 p. m.
Americus would thus be afforded a
better train service here from Lees
burg, Smithville, Adams and Sumter,
while the morning train for Macon
would be infinitely better, leaving here
about a. m., instead of the now
unreasonable hour of 4:25 in the morn
ing.
1t is to be hoped, especially by
Americus merchants and the travelling
public, that the changes thus contem-
plated will be made.

Want MINISTER'S TO
CUT OUT Chewing
Will Our ". C. 7. u. Follow
Example Of Other Towns

WIFI the w. C. T. U. of Americus fol-
low the example set by the w. C. T. U.
of Griffin and several other Georgia
cities and request the ministers 20
stop chewing tobacco, if any of them
chew tobacco?
The w. c. T. u, it appears, is max
ing a crusade in a number of places
against the use of chewing tobacco by
the young men of their respective
communities.
In this work the women have been
sadly hampered, they complain, by the
example set by some of the ministers
who learned to love the plug or the
choice cut in their younger days and
have failed to free themselves from
the habit.
When a young disciple of the weed
is requested to cease its use las the
masculine substitute for chewing gum,
he is quite apt to retort by calling at
tention to the fact that such and such
a clergyman is addicted to a similar
practice and that the w c. I. U. had
better work on him for a time
SO the w. c. T. U. in several places
is working to the end that the clergy
be brought to see tie error of their
way and cease setting the growing
generation such an example
Does any minister in Americus
chew? Will the propaganda against
chewing spread to this city? And will
the w. c. T. U. request the offending
clergy, if any, to "cut it out"
