A very quiet but impressive wedding
was that of Miss Elizabeth Taylor

Taylor street
Only the immediate families of the
bride and groom were present the

The bride entered the parlor on the
arm of the groom. She was very at
tractive in blue tailor made suit with
hat and gloves to match. Rev. o. B.

e which a hot luncheon was served.
Rev. and Mrs. McCord left at one
forty-fve for Florida to visit rela-

RATTLING GAME

Locals in Trim and Confident
Of Victory

The Basket Ball game scheduled
at the Y. NJ C. A, Gym" between
the crack team Dawson team, and the
best team that Americus can get to-
gether, will draw a good crowd
Dawson has one of the strongest
aggregation of players to be found
in the state, having defeated every
team that has gone against them this
season, Columbus among the number
They are fast, aggressive, and work
together when handling the ball N
way that has given them every
game so for this season.
On the other hand, it is safe to say
that Americas has furnished few
teams that surpass the one that takes
the floor tonight. Aside from the
fact that the Dawson bunch has
swamped the Americas High School
boys twice already this season, the
game should prove of especial interest
to Americus people for the reason that
the cleverest players the city affords
will be on the floor to defend the Y.

Dawson has fast, aggressive team
but they will be be met by bunch
just as fast and aggressive, with the
odds, it is believed slightly in favor
of the home boys. In Howell Smith,
who opposes Christie of Dawson at
center, the Y. M. c. A., has a player
who can deliver the sphere nine times
out of ten AS to forwards, Americus
is easily given the edge over Dawson
with Murray Dunn playing the lead
ing part and Emmett Sherlock coming
close SECOND, For guards the
home team can boast of Tommy
Hooks, he of baseball fame, and Leon
Brooks, tireless and always on the

The game will be a hotly contested
affair from beginning to end, for Daw

ably meet their equals at last, and a

To all lovers of clean, interesting

COUNCIL Will
SOON PROVIDE
Street sweeper
MATTER TO CONE UP SOON
City Engineer to Report on
Matter at Next Meeting


Measures VIII soon be taken to in
sure the thorough cleaning of the
newly paved streets of Americus. as
the matter of providing suitable ap-
paratus for this purpose will be put
before the City Council at It's next
meeting, which will occur next Mon
da night
The proper cleaning of the streets
! is a matter of great importance since
the new pavements have been laid,
and the matter of providing for the
| keeping of the newly paved streets n
neat and sanitary condition has been
under consideration for some time by
City Engineer Ansley, whose duty it
is to place before Council next Mon
day the best methods of accomplishing
| this result.
Two methods of street cleaning have
claimed special attention from the city
engineer, and it is with reference to
these methods that he will make rec
concentrations to the aldermen at the
next meeting of Council. One of the
methods is that of cleaning the streets
by means of hydralic pressure and a
sprinkling tank, which is a very eff
fective and sanitary way.
The chief objection to this method
of street cleaning is that it is not 30
we'll adapted to wood block pave
ment as to other varieties OF pave
ment. The flushing of the street by
water especially under pneumatic pres
sure, tends to wash the sand from be
tween the crevces of the wood blocks
thereby injuring the pavement
Though it is desirable in some res
poets, this method of street cleaning
is not likely to be adopted here.
The other method, and the one
which seems most in favor, IS that OF
cleaning the pavements by means Of
street sweeper mounted on wheels,
such as are generally used in the lar
ger cities for this purpose. 1t is be-
! lieved that this method of street clean
ing is far more preferable for wood
block paving than the other, because
it is effective and does not injure the
pavement The city will likely pur-
chase A two-hcrse machine of this
kind from some first class manufac-
turer.
The cleaning of streets by the meth
cd likely to b. adopted will, of course
take place mainly at night, so that
traffic will not interfere with it. 1t
will hardly be necessary to wait later
than 10 O'Clock at night to begin this
work here, however, as the traffic
| ceases so much earlier than in the
larger cities, where the street clean
ing is done mainly after the midnight
hours.

One OF The Minor KICKS
Was on Refusal to Accept Two
Cent Mileage Here to Atlanta

One OF the matters to which the at

was the fact that that road refuses
to recognize Seaboard or Southern
milage on it's trains from here to
Atlanta, while from Oglethorpe It
takes them.

Cholera has done some deadly work

thorpe was due to the fact that it
was a competitive point, rendering it
necessary for the Central to do this.
"We have never accepted the cent
fare rate" sad Mr.. Halle, Feeling
that under it we corld not continue
the service we are giving the people
of Georgia and do justice. to the own
ers of the railroad The time may
come when a two cent rate will pay
in Georgia, but it is net profitable
at this time and the Central has de-
clined to establish it on that account"
Mr.. Lanier stated that he did not
personally believe in the cheap rate,
that he believed it for the best inter-
est5 of the public that a profitable
rate be charged and a good service
furnished, but it seemed unfair that
Oglethorpe should have an advantage
/ in this respect that other places were
denied.
! Mr.. Halle then stated that while the
Central had not given a two cent rate
and did not accept the cheap mileage
basis except where forced to do so by
the other roads, it was arranging Z
new tariff, to be issued in January
that would remove some of tn
grounds for such complaints as MI
Lanier made. While the road woul

The feeding of fowls has become as

dairy or beef cattle. Poultrymen have
their balanced rations for their fowls.
They feed especially for egg produc-

all the above requirements, hence the
poor results on many farms. Variety
