WORK PROGRESSING ON CONTRACT

new SUBONTRACORS MSSRS BOSLER AND WN HAVE ACTIVELY AssT
Ed CHARGE OF THE DITCHNG MACHINE TO ARRIVE SNoE

Rapid progress is now being made
on the work of extending the sewer

Mr.. A. j. Wardrep to the firm Of
Bosler & Winn, both of Chattanoog:t,
which is also the home of Mr.. F. J.

awarded by the city.
Contractor Winn, of the new firm.
arrived in Americus recently and has
taken active charge of the work that
is being done. His arrival has given
new impetus to the work, which will
be pushed to completion as rapidly
now is possible. In fact, Mr.. Winn
believes that the contract will he
completed very nearly within the
limit fixed by the contract, which is
April 1.
The new firm of contractors, who
have sub-leased the contract from
Mr.. Curran are thoroughly equipped
and experienced men, who have han
died work of this kind many times
before. They have taken up the
work in a thoroughly business-like
manner, and already the result of
their work is showing in the progress
that is being made.
In short time a new ditching ma
chine will be received and will be
placed in use at once. With this ne
machine the capacity for ditching VIII
be practically doubled, as the other
machine is being used effectively in
the southside extension work The
new machine is expected to be re-
ceived here within the next week.
Two carloads of sewer pipe to be
used in the sewer extension work
have just arrived. This material is
part of the large quantity that has
been employed for the purpose of Civ

STUDENTS OF
AUBURN Will
HEAR MIR. SHIPP
TO ADDRESS COLLEGE ALUMNI
At the Commencement EXeF-
CiSGS Next June

Alumni and students of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, Ala
bama, will have the opportunity at the
coming commencement exercises Of
that institution of hearing Mr.. ]. Il.
d. Shipp deliver an address replete
with the scholarly historical spirit and
philosophical insight for which that
well known Americus jurist is noted.
The address to which reference is
made will be delivered before the
meeting of the Alumni Association VI
the Alabama college, Mr.. Shipp having
recently accepted the invitation ex-
tended to him by the members of the
Alumni Association at Auburn. The
commencement exercises will be held
at Auburn in the month of June.
The subject of the address which
Mr. Shipp will deliver has already been
selected, and the theme will deal with
vita problems of public life as they
affect the people of today and as they
were dealt with by our forefathers.
The theme of the address will be
Greed, Graft and Grapple," which is
in itself an Illuminating suggestion as
regards the nature of the discussion.
In the address the observation will
be made that the very land on which
the A. p /. now stands was originally
stolen from the Indians by the early
settlers, from whom it was stolen III
turn by some Georgia politicians,
whose sole desire was to enrich them
selves These statements are but a
reference to what is known in the his.
tory of Georgia as the Yazoo fraud
termed by Mr. Shipp as the most stu
pendous fraud ever perpetrated on a
free people. 1t will be shown further
by the speaker that when General
James Jackson and the day of wrath
came, the perpetrators were punish
ed. These things having happened,
as Mr. Shipp phrases it, "in the gooi
old times, before trusts, corporations
and other monopolies had arisen"
In selecting Mr.. Shipp-as the speak
er on this commencement occasion
the aumni of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute have secured an orator and
a historian of wide note and excep-
tional ability. AS an historian Of
poise and wide research, Mr.. Shipr
has attained through his addresses
and his published volumes a reputa
tion that is nationwide His addres;
at Auburn will be a gem of historical
/ research and oratorical excellence.

The removal of the wooden awning

which, by the way, is to bemodernized

the early elimination of all the old

Cotton avenue is the only business
thoroughfare in Americus where the
old wooden awnings remain, and the
removal of all these eyesores will add

There are more sides to the life OF

be neglected, but they will be given
the due prominence to which their

Along this line it may not be amiss
to note that yesterday Miss Annie

GREAT success. this page descriptive or
the great work Miss Bell has done in

Every year finds Miss Bell broaden

the operations of her school, raising
its standards and instilling more and
more enthusiasm in the pupils so
fortunate as to come under her direc-
