VACATION WAS
AWARDED To
Mr.. HIGHTOWER
He Will ENJOY IT SOON
Merited Recognition Of His
Faithful Services

Mr.. ]. E. Hightower, the genial and
efficient agent of the Central of Geor-
gia railway at Americus, is going to
! have a yacation-a real long and en-
| joyable one, and the third one he has
had during a continuous service Of
twenty-five years with the company
record of which any employe might
well be proud
Best of all, the respite came unsoli-
cited by him and wholly voluntary up-
on the part of the Central's officials,
who tender to Mr.. Hightower, a vaca-
ton of six months-or even year, if
he so desires, with full pay during
that period. Such a courtesy is no.
often extended by corporations to en-
ployees, and this generosity upon part
of the Central's officials is appreciated
alike by Mr.. Hightower and the bus.-
ness public of Americus, where he is
so much esteemed.
Recently Mr. Hightower's health has
been impaired and believing that
travel and outdoor exercise would
prove beneficial, the railway company
will relieve him of all indoor work for
as long a time as he may desire,
whether it be for six months or a
year. In the interim Mr.. Hightower
will confine himself largely to solicit
ing business here.
Mr.. w. C. Hunter, formerly agent
for the company at Montgomery, will
look after the duties of the Americus
agency for Mr.. Hightower. He is ex-
pected to arrive the first of next week
Mr.. Hightower, aside from the less
onerous duty of soliciting shipments
among local merchants, will spend
much of the time going over the Cen
tral system with officials of the COM
pany,
Mr.. Hightower has been with the
Central railway continuously for
twenty-five years, having entered the
service as agent at the little town OF
Pennington, near Athens. Later he
was chief clerk at Athens, and then
as agent at every point on the Central
system between Athens and Macon,
covering a long period Of years. He
was three years agent for the COM
pany at Covington and like period
at Forsyth. During fourteen years h9
served without a vacation of any
length or even the loss of day from
his work in the office. A vacation
Of twenty days was then given him
as well as a brief respite last summer
for trip North.
Mr.. Hightower came to Americus
On September lst, 1905, and, therefore,
las been here little more than six
wears as agent )
Of genial nature, affaBle and courte-
Gus. as well as efficient in his busi-
ress relations, Mr. Hightower is held
N highest esteem by hundreds OF
friends wherever he has resided, and
hundreds of friends over the state
as in Americus, congratulate him up
on the vacation he has so worthy
won at the hands of his employers.
He will go out next week upon
trip of SEVERAL days over a portion OF
the system. returning within week
to take up the work of soliciting

EFFECTS OF REASON.

Reason, like the magnetic inAu-
ence impaired to iron, gives to mat
ter properties and powers which it
possessed not before, but without
extending its bulk, augmenting its
weight or altering its organization.
Like that to which have compared
it, it is visible only by its efforts and
percephble only by lis operations.
