WILL APPEAR BEFORE
THE TWO BOARDS
To Solicit Help for the Ad.
VGrtiSing Program.

AT the last meeting of the Board
OF Trade special committee compos-
ed of Mess. Shiver, Josey, Cunningham
and Gamble was appointed to appear
before the county commissioners and
the city council and request a contri-
button of $50, to be used solely for
the purpose of advertising Americus
and Sumter county.
Now that the holidays are over and
business has returned to its normal
routine the committee in question will
perform this duty and appear before
the city and county governing bodies
at their next meetings.
The city council meets Oh next
Wednesday night, and the committee
VIII then present its request. The
county commissioners are scheduled
to meet on Monday, but it is under
stood that reasons exist that will re
suit in a postponement of the meet
ing until Wednesday, in all likelihood.
But in any event, the committee win
present its appeal whenever the COM
missioners do gather for the transac-
ton of business.
The Board of Trade desires to ex-
tend its advertising program in va
rious agricultural papers and the
500 obtained in this way could be
utilized very effectively.

LADIES Want TO
MANAGE The FAIR
May Put Proposition Up to
Board of Trade.

Prof. Cunningham, of the Agricul-
tural College, who is chairman of the
committee of the Board of Trade hav-
ing in hand the matter of arranging
for a county fair at Americus next
fall, is still at work getting together
data to assist in determining whether
there shall be fair and the lines on
which it shall be held
The recent successful fair of Ter
rell county, held at Dawson, was man
aged by the ladies there, and netted
them considerable sum for public
purposes, The ladies of the Americus
Hospital Association, having this in
mind, may make an effort to secure
the management of the Sumter County
Fair, in all or some of it's depart
ments.
This matter has been under consid-
Grafton by the ladies and they have
been considering the best way OF
placing themselves in communication
with those who managed the Terrell
fair. 1t is probable that at the next
meeting of the Board of Trade the
ladies will make request that they
be allowed to take hand in the fair
matter. This may be done either
through communication or by com
mittee calling on Sne board
Prof Cunningham may be in position
to make report at the meeting of the
board next week.

EAST AMERICUS ENJOYS
Big IMPROVEMENT
Lamar Street Out There a
Fine Boulevard.

East Americus is almost ready ia
nave celebration over the compile
tion of the work of improving Lamar
street in that increasingly popular sec
ton of the city.
East Americus has frequently had
reason to complain that it got but
scant attention from the city, blt
this latest improvement is one tn;
goes far toward removing the grounds
for complaint From the intersection
of Jefferson street, on for half a mile
Lamar street is rapidly being convert
ed into veritable boulevard, thirty
feet wide in the roadway with a seven
and half foot sidewalk on each
side.
No one who has not Travelled that
way recently can appreciate tie great
difference that has been made in the
appearance of that section by the
broadening and the Strengthening OF
Lamar street. The property owners
with one exception only, cheerfully do
mated the land to permit of the i'm
provement. In the one instance Mr.
Crawford Wheatley bought the prop
erty so as to remove the STUMBLING
block.
Lamar street in East Americus is
now as fair a stretch of road as the
eye can land on anywhere in Sumter
county. Hight out to the city line il
is to be perfect road. But the ap-
proach from the courthouse 20
the East Americus district is still sad
ly in need of attention Once the
grade to the newly improved part Of
the street is lessened and the western
portion of the street otherwise i'm
proved. East Americus will take de-
cidrd squirt in progressvieness. That
is a work the city and county should
undertake together. Lamar street
leads right into the Oglethorpe road
which is being improved by the coun-
y W CuiillCl DOuiluSJ anu II is q
pity that the first part of the ap-
proach to it should not be up to the
section east of Jefferson street.
Mr.. Wheatley has bought and re-
moved three houses that were in the
way of progress, is improving them,
and will make nice properties of them
This will also help in the betterment
of that immediate section
Other improvements are likely to
follow and East Americus bids fair to
become decidedly more popular sec
ton. For the man of small means that
section offers tempting opportunity
to secure a home at a very moderate
cost. The time is probably not far
off when it will feel the impulse OF
new life and enjoy a rapid develop
ment.

COUNTY TO BUY MULES
FOR WORK ON ROADS
Dozen Big Fellows viii Be
Purchased.

Sumter county is going in for even
more good roads during the next year
than heretofore, and to this end will
increase the number of mules now
used in the roads department here.
Recently the county commissioners
sold off ten small animals, found too
light for the work required, and will
replace them with a dozen big, strong
animals with the faith and strength
to move mountains-of red clay. Supt
Christian and Commissioners Bolton
and Hodges went to Atlanta yesterday
and will purchase the new mules there
at once. The county uses a hundred
fine mules and eighty-five to ninety
"zebras" in the good roads building
here.

CANINE HAD RABIES, in
OPINION OF EXPERT
Treatment Will Be Given Lit.
tie Girl Here.

The setter dog that attacked and
DIT severely little Gladys Smith, the
seven-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Philo Smith, of Americus, while
in Macon on Christmas, was afflicted
with rabies, in the opinion of DR.. Har-
rls, of Atlanta, who made a careful
examination of the dogs head. This
information was conveyed in a tele-
gram sent Mr.. Smith yesterday by DR..
Harris, and little Gladys will be given
the Pasteur treatment the required
time. Mr. Smith, the moment the dog
attacked the little girl, borrowed a
shotgun from resident of Macon,
jumped into buggy conveniently at
hand and following the fleeing dog a
half mile before he could shoot it
and secure the head for examination.

the Coming Year.

out some additional trees and shrub

beauty by degrees.

this task has been referred is also
considering the advisability of putting
in golf links. The expense will b.,
ascertained and if not TOO great this
may also be undertaken the coming
spring.
The club is reported in good shape.
The property is so located that it en-
joys steadily increasing popularity
among the automobilists and is be-
coming more and more the centre Of
social life. A number of functions
have been held there so far this sea-
son and it has been conclusively dem
onstrated that the club house was ex-
actly what iAmericus needed in
social way.

officers and committees were chosen
for 1911 as follows:

his expenses. He has been making
regular remittances for the past three
months, and he has five more months
before the test is over.
He will receive a handsome sum u
he is successful and will then reveal
his identity.
That "The Wanderer" is a man of
culture and refinement is easily seen
by any one who converses with him,
and his smooth skin seen through the
bushy whiskers, and his small, we'll
shaped hands give one the assurance
that he is accustomed to gentle sur
roundings.
The program tonight will consist OF
two selections, as follows:
