THROUGH FAIRYLAND
IN A HANSON CAB
Mrs. Taylor Will Garry Little
Ones This Afternoon

The storytelling at the Carnegie
Library this afternoon will peculiarly
appeal to the little tots, the pima
fore children, as it were, although the
older ones will also find the tales that
Mrs. Taylor will tell not without in.
terest to them also
For today a "Trip Through Fairy
land in an Hanson Cab" has been Sc
lected, a most unique subject, for who
could possibly think Of such hum
drum, modern style of conveyance
as a hanson cab being adapted for a
trip into the mysterious real minhab-
tied by elfs and gnomes and fairies
But it has been done, and through the
medium of such a vehicle Mrs. Taylor
will delight her small auditors this
afternoon with glimpses into that land
that exists all about us and VIII
so peculiarly the country in which the
boys and girls of tender years love to
roam.
All the little ones are invited to be
at the library promptly at $3.50 o'clock,
so as to be present when the hanson
cab leaves its stand and begins its
drive through the mystic realms select
ed for its route. There is ample room
aboard for all and the more children
on hand the merrier.

KICKING ON The TRAIN
SERVICE TO AMERICAS
Slow Schedule q Source of
Complaint

Col. E. B. Hornady, of Buena Visa,
was in Americas yesterday and lodged
complaint regarding the train service
on that division of the Central rail-
way, as especially applied to the
morning passenger and freight train,
Columbus to Americus, due to arrive
here at 11:3O a. m.
This train is largely patronized by
people of Buena Vista, Ellayilie, Doyle
Putnam, Lacrosse and other towns
who come here to do their shopping.
Arriving at 1870 noon, and return
ing at 3:45 p. m, ample time would be
afforded, Col Hornady says, for all
shopping purposes. But the train rare
Iy arrives on schedule, he continued,
and is oftimes from an hour to an
hour and half late, thus cutting down
the time allowed here.
The train carries local freight, and
the delay is caused by the delivery of
shipments en- route.
Col Hornady was a candidate for
railroad commissioner at the last cleo
ton, and declares his intention of TAX
ing the matter of delayed trains up
with that body unless the desired re-
lief is very soon afforded

WHY AMERICUS
SHOULD Be ON ROAD
Thousands of Autos Would
Pass Through City

The great national highway pro.
ject is taking form that renders i
more than ever advisable that A ner.
icus he one Of the points that it is tC
pass through and that the route from
Atlanta to Jacksonville come o.
way of AnGcrsonvirle, with its wpaitL
of historic associations, Americas, Al
bany and so on to the Florida line
through one of the finest sections Of
the entire South.
The following letter is of interest in
this connection:
Jacksonville, Fla, March 1, 1911.
Board of Trade, Americas, Ga.
Gentlemen: Yours of the oath to
hand extending invitation to myself
and the other members of the Highway
Committee to visit you and inspect the
good roads of your section.
In answer thereto would say that il
would be a great pleasure to me to
visit Americas.
AS information, would say that for
some time we have been handling with
the Atlanta Journal and the New York
Herald the question of making the
highway a through route from Jack
sonville to New York. This will give
it national Importance, instead of a
local one, and l am pleased to say that
l have just received notice from them
that they will take this up imme-
diately and will assist us in giving the
necessary publicity to push it to COM
p1etion, and they will, at their owl
expense put up sign posts all along
the route and get out guide book.
In connection with this we are now
handling with them the proposition Of
round trip tour from Atlanta to jack
sonVille or from Jacksonville to
Atlanta, tourists going one way and
returning the other, and when the
route for this tour 5 arranged i seems
% ne that it would be a good idea TO
arrange ere way via Americas and
then hold big meeting there.
Two of the Atlanta papers are in
correspondence with us about this tour
but the Journal and Herald will Prob
ably be the ones to arrange it, how
ever, in case it does not suit them we
will no doubt arrange one in conne:-
ton with the other paper, as we thin
big tour with 200 to 250 cars would
accomplish an enormous amount of
good in connection with this matter
and we believe a tour of something
like this size could be arranged be-
cause We have had a great many let
ters and kilograms from parties all
over Georgia asking that it be gotten
up at time in the spring when they
would like to make a trip to the coast.
We are now handling this matter
with these papers, and within the next
four or five days should be able to ad-
wise you something definite about it,
and when the question of route is be-
ing decided on l will take pleasure +
calling attention to the interest shown
in this matter by your people, and
would suggest that on receipt of this
letter you wire the Atlanta Journal
urging them to get up such a tour and
to arrange the route via Americas,
either going or returning.
Thanking you for your kind invita-
ton, | am Yours truly,

IFVIy : IL lNIHHIUN'
Averaging a shave to every two and
half minutes is now the ordinary
record at Yearwood's barbershop in
the Windsor Hotel This is due to the
fact that there are now six highly
experienced white BARRIERS in the shop,
each of the half dozen chairs having
an artist to handle it's patrons. The
heavily increased patronage at Yea
woods necessitated this and the abb
sence of delay is an especially pleas
