BOARD OF TRADE NOW Doing
WORK OF MOST HELPFUL kind
Has Been Instrumental in Securing
Many Conventions RGCGntly---Re-
duCtiOR Of Insurance Rate and
Other Works Are Being Undertaken.

The monthly meeting Of the Board
of Trade will be held at the city hall
Tuesday evening at $50, and it isl
the earnest desire of the officers Of
the association that every member who
is interested in the welfare and up
building of this community be pres

working hard and they need encour-
agement and also want to know wheth
er their work is meeting with the
approval of the association or not.
The Board Of Trade has done a
wonderful amount of good in bring
ing in settlers, which has been one
of the main causes for the advance in
the price OF lands in Sumter county
and should receive the enthusiastic
support of every citizen, not only Of
Americas, but in Sumter county. The
work is jus. as much for the county
as the city and the interest of one
is the interest of the other. Better re-
suits can be obtained by hearty and
full co-operaion of the people than has
been given as the association is now
figuring on matters of vital interest to
the welfare of the people.
The Board OF Trade has been active
in trying to get conventions for Amer
icus, and has been remarkably sue.

in getting the District Bankers, Geor-
gia Librarians, Georgia Dental and
Georgia Firemen's associations, and
are now working for the Ordinaries
Clerks and Shariffs', Georgia Post

JOY BOMBS IN MARKET
FIRST OF The SEASON
POpUlaCe In ECStaCy Over
Melons Coming

Unbleached Americus-the unwash

sister from the shaded precincts Of
Peppermint alley and Mullet gulch
threw spasms of ecstatic delight and
joy unutterable when the first wag-
on load of watermelons rolled into
Cotton avenue yesterday and cast an
Choir near the undertaker's. Quickly
the black hosts assembled and the lit
tlebombs-scarcely as large as cannon
balls and none less deadly, were quick
ly snapped for half dollars. 1t was
an inspiring scene to see Mr.. CoOne
get his javelin into q melon and back
off to an alley where he could put 1t
away under his vest without having
to divide the tidbit with his best
friend. This first wagon load was the
| forerunner of others to come, and
soon now the favorite brand of melon

Thomas Babington Macaulay should
perhaps have ranked with the uni,
versal geniuses, but it is true that his
precocious gift was largely in the di-
rection of literature. He read inces-
sanity from the age of three. At seven
he had composed a very fair COM
pendulum of universal history from the
creation to 1900. At eight he had
written a treatise destined to convert
the natives of Malaba- 20 Christianity.
AS recreation from this weighty
work he wrote in the same year a re-
nance in the style of Scott III three
cantos, entitled The BaAle of Chez
lot" A little later came long poem
on the history OF Olaf Magnus and q
vast pile of blank verse entitled Fin
gala Poem In Twelve Books" Blu:
he disliked mathematics and did not
pass his examinations in that subject,
thus standing out among all child
prodigies. His memory was such that
he literally never could forget any
thing and after twenty years couI9
repeat bits of poetry read only once.

Music Writina Made Easy.

determined its length, selected a suita-

remarkable composition turned out a
lively piece of dance music, which
was afterward entitled LES Sauvages
Dams les hides Galantes" and was
popular in France for a great number
of years.
