BIG COLONY IS COMING
TO SETTLE IN SUMTER
AuStrianS Will Settle On
Flint River.

In Americus yesterday were sev-
eral of the parties interested in the
settlement of a colony of Austrians
in Sumter county, who will engage in
working up the vast area of hard tim
ber along Flint river. The place Sc
lected for them is the big Huguenin
plantation on the Seaboard railw ay,
eighteen miles east of Americus and
the largest single tract of land in the
county. w. l. Reide is at the head of
the proposition, and already the Aus
TRANS are here. They have recently
secured the timber rights to several
thousand acres of land on either side
of Flint river, including most of what
is known as the old Huguenin farm,
which consists altogether of II 900
acres. Reide says that within a ra-
dius of 20 miles up and down the
Flint river there is a great quantity
of most valuable white oak that can
pemanufactured into slaves that will
uring the owners many thousands Of
dollars, and will give employment 10
the Austrians for several years.

HEAVY DEAL IN LANDS
PRICE PAID is 900
I. B. Hooks Buys Lands in
Lee County.
Former Park Place is
Sold to Him By L. c.
Council Largest Deal
Made Here.

Sixty thousand dollars was the
consideration in a deal in farming
lands just consummated here, and
exceeding in extent any OF the many
big deals in Sumter county lands made
here recently. This deal, which has
been pending for some time, was
finally closed up day or two ago.
This big farm of about 4,2O0 acres
les just over the Sumter county line
in Lee county.
1t was owned by Mr.. L. G. Council,
of Americus, who thus disposed of it
to Mr.. Thomas B. Hooks, of this
city. The farm is one of the best
cotton plantations in South Georgia.
1t was originally known as tire
Robert E. Park place, and embraces
in it's broad domains the lands upon
which Adams Station, on the Central
of Georgia railway, is located. The
price paid per acre is about SIS, a.
though the purchase of utensils, etc
will increase that sum.
Up to date the largest sale of land
here was 1000 acres for the round sum
of $4,000, but the palm is taken in
this latest deal.
Quite recently Mr. Hooks sold off
l,200 acres of his farm in Sumter
county for $4,000 to a South Sarolila
investor, and now purchases a farm
of almost four times the size of that
recently sold. Lands in Lee are very
good, but do not bring the price OF
Sumter county lands.
Mr.. Hooks will operate his big 4,
200 acre farm hereafter, as well as
his fine plantation near Amerieus.

TO lNFUSE NEW LIFE IN
TO BOARD OF TRADE
Is Hope of Those at Tues
days Meeting.
Committee Expected to
Be gin Work This
Morning to Awaken
New Enthusiasm.

The time has come when the Ameri-
Gus Board of Trade must do some
thing, must take on new life, increase
its membership, infuse greater inter-
ests into it's old members, and dem
onstrate that it is an active working
agent for the upbuilding of the city
and the county.
That was the sentiment of the
faithful members of the organization
gathered at the meeting on Tuesday
night.
1t was clearly apparent from the in
ability to secure meetings during the
past three months and the condition
of the treasury that some strenuous
work was necessary to impart new
life to the organization. There was
no dissenting voice to this proposl-
ton.
Absence of funds, lack of interest
on the part of the majority of the men,
hers, have deadened the life of the
Board of Trade and brought to an
almost complete standstill it's efforts
to bring Americus and Sumter couaty
to tue attention of those seeking To-
cations for business or farms on
which to establish themselves and
their families.
Good results were already apparen,
from the advertising that was done but
the lack of funds necessitated a ces.
sation of the cards that were carried
nagricultural and other journals.
Ii these were resumed and maintained
for a period of a year it is the belize
that the results would be definite and
highly gratifying.
Those present at the meeting Tues
day night, which partook more of the
nature of conference on the futu~.
OF the Foard of Trade than anything
else were, Messrs. John w. SILVER.
Charles l.. Ansley, E. Y. Andrews, G.
j. Clark, G. L. Williams, G. M. Bragg.
:. w. Hfghtower, f. B. Arthur, Thomas
Gamble. Jr., and Frank J. Payne.
After the discussion it was decided
that these members or as many of
rem as possible, should meet at the
Times-Recorder Office this morning
at o'clock and begin a canvass with
the purpose of not only securing new
members, but of arousing a new inter
est among old members.
At the same time they will meet
the secretary of the Nut Growers AS
seciation for few minutes discus
sion of the convention to be held here
next May and representative Of the
Atlanta Constitution relative to the
Advertising of Americus at the Corn
and Land Exposition in that city this
fall.

The farmer, more so than any other business man,
requires the services of bank if he manages his farm
in systematic way. While he has need for set of
books in which to keep record Of every transaction
made yet during the course Of year he must pay out
large sums Of money for various purposes and record
for future reference is highly important. Merchants
may fail to give receipt for cash. neighbor may not
recall the payment Of money owed but the farmer who
pays his obligations by check has written evidence of
such payments which any court must recognize In the
same way he has record of monies received by the de-
post entries Of his bank book
To the farmer who desires such record for his
business we extend an invitation to open an account
with this bank.
