SEABOARD
GAVE CITY
PUBLICITY
in MANUFACTURERS RECORD
Recent Issue Has FuII-PaQe
Advertisement

Under the large-type title South
Georgias Good Soil" the Manufac-
turers' Record has in it's recent issue
a full-page advertisement of the re-
sources of Sumter county. The ad-
vertisement is fully embellished with
suitable photographs of actual Sumter
county scenes on farms in this sec
ton.
Through the agency of the Sea-
board railway this helpful publicity is
given to Americus, a special agent
of that road having visited Americus
some time ago in order to obtain the
photographs and general data used in
the write-up. There are six illustra-
tions which show a tobacco field, oat
harvest, corn field, pecan grove, cab
bages and sweet potatoes. Altogether
tne advertisement is an eXcellenL one,
and the Seaboard deserves credit for
giving this helpful publicity to Amer
icus and Sumter county.
From the soil survey made of Sum-
ter county by the federal government
the advertisement contains the vital
quotations that give all the facts
needed by one in securing knowledge
of this county and section. At bottom
of the advertisement the statement is
made that any one wishing informa-
ton concerning Sumter county may
secure it by addressing the general
il dustrial agent of the railroad, who
is cooperating with the Board of
Trade here and other agencies to give
Sumter county during the next year
an even greater growth than it has
had this year.

PROGRESS OF
CHURCH HAS
BEEN GREAT
SHOWN BY ANNUAL REPORT
Record Of Membership and
Donations Large

At the fourth quarterly conference
for the year 1912, which was held at
the First Methodist church Friday
night, Rev. O. B. Chester reported
about seventy accessions to the churcn
for this year and about two thousands
seven hundred dollars raised for ali
missions, with a total of more than
sixteen thousand dollars raised for
all purposes by the church this year
He summarized the work of the
the church for three years of his
pastorate as follows:
There have been three hundred and
twenty-five additions to the church,
with net increase in membership of
one hundred and ninety. There has
been raised for all mission causes
about eight thousand five hundred dol
lars. For all purposes the church has
raised about $1,000.
Mr.. Chester said further: Three
years ago the board of stewards were
nearly nineteen hundred dollars in
debt, but they will close this year
owing no man anything, but to love
one another There was also a debt
of four thousand dollars on the church
building. Accumulated interest in
creased this amount to five thousand
six hundred and forty-one dollars, Ev-
cry cent of this has also been paid.
Golden-hearted men and women who
love God and have been loyal to their
pastor made these things possible.
This church can boast many such"

The foregoing menus, which are TO
be served at the Bazaar to be held all
the week at the armory hall after it
commences on Tuesday will serve as
an introduction to the good things that
are to be offered by the ladies of the
Hospital association to the people #
Americus during the week. There will
be delightful variations of this menu
each day of the bazaar.
But the delicious refreshments to
be served will be but one feature of
the bazaar, which will be conducted on
a comprehensive scale. There will be
some method of entertainment for the
young and old each afternoon and ev-
ening. These will be announced in
detail as they appear daily
Among these varied entertainments
have already been listed a fiddlers con-
test, singing and spelling contest for
the elderly people, an evening of un-
usual entertainment on Wednesday ev-
ening by Wylie A. Mason, and other
entertainments that will, indeed, be
enough to drive dull care away from
the brow of any one. Mr.. Mason's en-
tertainment will be styled "The Man OF
the Hour" and it will be a genuinely
one, according to all re-
ports.
The dining room committee for
Tuesday will consist of the following
ladies': Mesdames r. l.. Maynard, r.
p. Stackhouse, j. T. Howell, w. c.
Gray and Miss Rosalind Smith. The

Upon their return to Americus yes
terday from a trip over the route OF
the Americus, Triton and Atlantic rail-
road, as far south as Triton, Messrs.
Crook and Lanneau, the engineers who
will have charge of the work OF sur
veying the right-of-way, are en-
ing of the road, upon which work will
soon begin. Messrs. Crook and Lam
neau left Americus one week ago to
look over the proposed route, making
the trip in part on foot and by pri-
vate conveyance, in order to ascer-
tain more carefully the character Of
the country which the new line will
traverse.
From Americus to Tifton the dis
tance is about IS miles, and the line
will go in the direction of Ashburn,
Oakfield and Doles At each of these
towns the people are most enthusiast
tic over the prospect of securing tho
railway, Mr.. Crook states, and all
will do their part in the way of cash
subscriptions and otherwise. Mr..
Crook says the line will traverse a
fine section of country; through tim
bered lands and fertile agricultural
section which only needs the Develop
ment that railway will afford. Both
Messrs. Crook and Lanneau were well
pleased with the result OF their trip
Tomorrow morning, Mr.. Crook
states, the engineering corps will take
the field for the first actual survey of
the route, starting from Americus,
which will be the northern terminus
of the A., T. and A. Two or three
lines will be surveyed out of the city
one going directly eastward, while the
others will be run from some point
near the old race track or Shiver
lumber plant, circling the city on the
southside
The most advantageous line out of
Americas will be determined when
these preliminary surveys are made,
Mr.. Crook says, and it cannot be stat
ed just now with any degree of GER
tainty at what point the new line will
be built into town, though it will con-
meet both with the Central and Sea-
board.
The construction Of this railway,
which will extend from Americus to
some point on the Atlantic seaboard,
yet to be determined. will prove
very strong factor in the substantial
growth and development of Americus
and the fine region traversed.

At Tuesday Evening Meeting
of Board of Trade

The Board of Trade, as pointed out
by resident G. r. Ellis and Secretary
Patterson, have been instrumental In
doing much good for the people of
Americus. The matter of securing
organized baseball here is one that Is
attracting much attention now, and
the meeting Tuesday evening may
have much to do towards determin-
ing what will be done in that partic-
ular.
