FREE ENTERTAINMENT.

Free entertainments are given to
rural communities in Pike county, Ala
baTna, as a part Of campaign to in
duce the people to stay on the land
instead of abandoning their farms for
city life. This information has been
received by the United States bureau
of education from e. L. S~hackelford
principal Of the state normal school
at Troy, Pike county, Ala, who is at
the head of the movement. Mr..
Shackelford writes:
I'm my opinion, the exodus Of the
younger generation from the country
to the town is at present the most Sc
rious menace TO our general welfare.
Good roads, motor cars, the telephone
and rural mail delivery are improving
rural conditions greatly, but rural So
cial life does not yet afford the oppor-
tunities for the of ideas
that an active, reading, thinking pub
lie demands. Hence the tendency to
~congregate in the centers Of popula-
ton, and hence this effort of ours to
afford a few social opportunities
through a course Of free entertain
ments."
The entertainments given consist
mainly Of lectures. lantern shows
and selections upon the victrola. Some
Of the lectures are given at night, and
some in the afternoon. Occasionally
dinner is furnished at the school and
an all-day session is held.
While this movement was institute
ed by the Troy State Normal school
the cooperation of the Alabama State
Health and Medical departments and
the various state institutions has beer
enlisted for supplying speakers, en-
tertainment clubs, and other attrac-
tons. Most Of the entertainers give
their services without charge, and
transportation is furnished by owners
Of automobiles. Friends Of the new
movement anticipate hat 1t will be g
powerful factor wherever introduced
in adding to the pleasures OF rura,
life by furnishing additional oppor-
tunities to the country. folk for recre-
alton, culture and social intercourse.

SHERIFF LOST
IN NORTH DAKOTA

Bismarck, N. D, May S0.--Residents
Of Grant County, Indiana, seem to be
somewhat alarmed over the fate of
their big and good-natured sheriff,
Tony George. Sheriff George came to
Bismarck a week or so ago and se-
cured requisition papers for Ralph
Broom and Orville Allison, wanted in
Grant county for the murder of Wade
Robinson, which was committed at
Landisville, Ind, the night Of Dec.
%, 1911. Sheriff Teigen Of Pierce
county captured Broom, who was de-
tanned in the jail at New Rockford.
Failing to hear from Sheriff George
for a few days, The Marion Qndiana)
Chronicle says:
"Al that is known at Rugby is that
Sheriffs George and Teigen are chas-
ing Allison but where the chase is
leading them is a mystery. While
a letter was received here Thursday,
II had been written Monday.
Mrs. George Is not alarmed,
though naturally she feels some con-
Germ when she fails to hear from her
husband while he is engaged in fol-
lowing q desperate criminal-one
whose liberty. IL not his life, is at
stake-like orvilIe Allison.
Mrs. George Talks.

elected sheriff / attended a spiritual
list meeting. The spirit predicted that
Tony would be elected a second term,
and also declared that during his Sec
ond term he would be shot
said Mrs. George Fridey. I don't be-
lieve in spirits, but since I haven't
heard from Tony for four days 1 cans
help but recall what was told me in
that spiritualistic meeting. / take nc
comfort, however, in the saying that
no news is good news. I have no
reason to. believe that anything seri-
Gus has happened, but l will feel lust
a little uneasy until ! hear from him.
ANY one who knows Tony George
knows that he will 60 to the end 81
the earth IL there is a chance Of get
ting Allison. I don't understand why
we don't get a telegram unless it il
because he is too far from any town
to send a message. We haven't heard
from Tony since Tuesday"
George and Teigen naturally would
not make their whereabouts public
knowledge IL they could help, wher
they are close on the trail of Allison
They r expecting to effect his cap,

MICH MATERIAL HERE FOR fine
CAMP OF THE SONS OF VETERANS
AdiuanGGRGra Forrest Expected to Visit AmerCuS In
Short Time

Steps will probably soon be taken
toward the organization in Americus
of a camp of the United Sons of Con-
federate Veterans.
Camps of this organization, en-
bracing in their membership, as the
name indicates, the sons of the men
who wore the gray, are to be found in
many of the cities of Georgia and
throughout the South. Its member
ship is increasing, while the ranks Of
the old veterans fall off.
The object of the Sons of Veterans
is to preserve the historic truths OF
the great war between the states, 10
conserve the memories that are So
precious to the South, to mark historic
spots, to celebrate memorable days,
in other words to perpetuate all that
was noblest and best in the great his
toric struggle.
There are many young and middle
aged men in Americus and Sumter
county who would be eligible for
membership in a camp of the Sons of
Veterans, hundreds of them, in fact.
A camp properly organized here could
| speedily become one Of the strongest

REGULATIONS
FOR ELECTION
IN ORDINANCE
RECENTLYPASSED BY COUNCIL
Form Of Ballot, etc. Fixed By
Ordinance

In providing for the holding of a
special election to decide the matter
of whether the city is to issue bonds
to the extent of 100000 for the con-
struction of municipal electric plant
and the installation of water meters,
the ordinance recently. passed by
council makes provision concerning
the requirements of the election.
1t is provided in the ordinance that
icus who are qualified voters for the
legislature of the state of Georgia, and
who have paid all taxes required of
them, either for state, county or mu-
nicipal tax, and who shall have been
a resident of the city of Americus for
six months prior to the date of said
election, and who shall have been a
resident of the state of Georgia foT
one year prior to the date of such elec-
ton, shall be entitled and are hereby
declared qualified voters of such cleo
ton" Voters may qualify for the
election up until March 5, five days
before the election.
Provision was made for the open
ing of the polls at o'clock in the
morning and the closing of them at 5
| o'clock in the afternoon. This will
| allow sufficient time for an early
! count of the ballots to be made. In
event of the election resulting in af-
| vor of the issuance of the 100000 Of
bonds, provision is made in the ordi-
nance for the levying of a tax on all
| the taxable property in the city Of
| Americus to pay the interest and 70
retire the principal of said bonds as
they may become due. Note was also
made of the fact that an annual tax
| of $3,250 would be required to pay
interest semi-annually and to provids
sufficient funds to retire the electric
| lighting bonds, while the amount
required annually for this same pur-
pose for the water meter bonds would
be $1450. making total of $4700 for
: both bond issues.
The provisions for the election, as
made in the ordinance, are apparent
ly explicit and complete. The bonds
which are to be of the denomination
of $1,000 each, are to bear interest al
4 1-2 per cent, payable semi-annual-
ly, on the first day of January and tht
first day of July.
