The Slip of the Tongue.

Here's one of Will Twins stories
told in that quiet, drawing fashion
which scores every point, says the
Cincinnati Times-Star Two of his
feminine friends, it appears, were
walking down the street the other
day, when they noticed another wo-
man just in front of them. THAT Iady's
waist is unbuttoned in the back" said
one to the other. Il believe I'll speak
to her about it
The other looked over the uncon-
scious subject of comment. Then she
shook her head. q don't believe that
would say anything to her said she.
Il doubt if she is the kind of person
who would appreciate your kindness.
She isn't very neatly got up, don't you
see? Her shoes are horribly run down
at the heel"
Il don't care" said Mr.. Twins ac-
Quaintance. ANY woman would be
glad of a warning that her waist is I'M
buttoned. l don't care if she doesn't
seem to be a very nice person. shall
cal her attention to it."
And so" said Mr.. Irwin, she walk
ed up to the stranger and tapped her
on'the shoulder AS the woman turn
ed she said, just as swetly as she
knew how: Pardon me. But did you
know that your shoes are run down at

WILL BREED DESIRE FOR FUR
TIER IMPROVEMENTS.


Gratifying, indeed, is the news that
the street paving that has been under
way for probably two months past will
be completed by the close of the year.
Once this is finished and the sand
removed from the surface of the
blocks. the entire business section of
Americas will present an appearance
equal, so far as paving and sidewalks
go, to the best that the most progress
sive cities of the land can offer.
This great Improvement will de-
much for the city. Every person Wis
iting here and traversing the business
section, riding over the miles of block
paving that has been laid, will be
pleased with the evidence of progress
and must be struck by the fact that
few cities of the size of Americus
present such an evidence Of prosper
ity and go-ahead spirit.
1t has been commented on for sew
eral years that as regards side
walks Americas need fear comparison
with no other city in the state. None
Of the larger cities has as fine and as
complete a sidewalk system as this
city of 10000 people. Soon it will be
possible to say as much with regards
to the highways between the curbs
While there are larger areas paved
in larger cities there will be none
whose street paving will have been
laid with more care, with a greater
eye to its durability and service, or
that will be more attractive to the
eye.
The street paving is destined to be
a decided factor in the future de-
yelopment of the city. The people Of
Americas never did a wiser thing than
when they voted, practically unani-
mously, for this forward step five
years ago. No administration ever
did wiser thing than the present one
ia meeting the demand of the citi-
Zens that this Improvement go on.
When it is cOnsummated it is safe to
say that there Will be SO much salts
faction with it that eventually a much
larger area cf the city will be paved.
Cities like this never stand still once
they have had good taste of what
modern improvements do for a city.
Americas had taste of it in the con-
crete block sidewalks and it has been
pushing that Improvement in all di-
rections until now hardly any part IF
the city but has magnificent side
walks. So it will be with the high
ways. The taste that will be enjoyed
after this year passes into history will
be so satisfactory that the yearning
for more will soon become too pro-
nounced to be resisted and Church
street and other avenues Of traffic will
find themselves in the same class with
jackson and others that will soon be
enjoying the block paving.
