PLACE AS CITY CLERK
Ill Health Makes Necessary
This Step.

City Clerk and Treasurer Theron

ell his resignation of that office, the
same to become effective at the pleas
ure Of that body This, it is belie7-
ed, will be within a month. or as soon
as important city documents are for
mauy signed by Clerk Hawkes..
This refers more especially to the
large issue of bonds, all of which
must bear the signature of the city
clerk and treasurer.
The resignation of Clerk HaWkens
is induced by prolonged i'll health
Recently his physical condition has
become more acute and he deemed ii
better for himself and the city as well
that he resign.

here, precipitated by the recent hot
weather. was relived today by the dr

union STATION
FOR AMERICUS
IS SUGGESTED
BOTH CENTRAL AND SEAB0ARD
MUST SOON REBUILD PRESENT
STATIONS. THEREFORE, NOW Is
LOGICAL TIME TO BOOST FOR
UNION STATION.

What would be an arrangement 10
appeal strongly to the large travelling
public that comes to Americus has
been suggested in the way of a union
station for the two railroads that con-
meet here.
The strongest argument advanced
by those who have discussed the mat
ter is that it will only be a question
of comparatively short time before
both the Central and Seaboard sta
tions must be rebuilt, and in view Of
this fact it would be a step backward
in the movement of progress now sc
strongly felt in Americus for two sep
arate stations to be built when a un-
ion station could be secured
With the two stations as much as
half mile apart, the need of centra
connections are apparent without ref
erence to the train schedules. With
the rapid progress being made
throughout TINS entlre sectlOn, tne
need of better station facilities are
imperative to give Americus the pres
tige that is justly hers in a CONNER
cial way.
The suggestion of a union station
meets with strong approval among
many citizens of Americus, while the
sentiment in favor of this movement
to further the growth of the city IS
rapidly increasing. Many sugges-
tons have been made as to possible
locations for the new station, which
it is suggested, should be made one
of such suze and convenience as to ac
commodate the growth Of the city
and section for many years to come

COCA COLA is king
OF SUMNER DRINKS
Local Plant Doing Unusually
Good Business.

Upon casual observation one is
likely to think that there are some
few articles that need no advertis-
ing, but the fact is that many of those
articles will be found upon careful
investigation to be numbered among
the best advertised articles that are
offered for sale.
Coca Cola suggests itself immediate
Iy as being numbered in this class.
The value of publicity in building up
the sale of Coca Cola cannot be os-
t.mated, and it is still receiving pub
licity to a large degree. Reference
to the half page ad of the local Coca
Cola Bottling Company in this issue
will furnish ample proof of this state
ment.
The great summer drink is Coca
Cola, and its sway is still supreme,
though many limitations have sprung
up to challenge its right to popular
favor. Sales this summer have aver
aged more than 1900 bottles per day
more than were sold last season,
which voices the sentiment of the
people in favor of Coca Cola in no
uncertain way.
Local trade, as we'll as that of al
Sumter county, is being supplied
from the Americus plant, which is
under the able management of Mr.. ..
T. Warren. Every dealer in soft
drinks should call to see Mr.. Warren,
if not already ntouch with this
popular firm
