MISS CROCKER TO SELL
MOST OF HER 65 DOGS

San Francisco, Cal. May 22.-Miss
Jennie Crocker, who is in New York,
has authorized John Caldwell, who
has charge of her Hillsborough ken
nels, to dispose of all but her cham
pion dogs. She has sixty-five dogs
in her kennels now, and they repre-
sent. with the kennels and improve
ments, an investment of $150000.
Miss Crocker will not part with Sir
Barney Blue, her worlds champion
Boston bull terrier, not with Halcyon
Alexander, French bulldog. These
animals are worth between $4,000 and
$4,000 each. She will keep t.c~e u
four more of her best dogs, leaving
the selection to Caldwell.
These five or six dogs will be
shipped to New York, where Miss
Crocker will live, after her marriage
to Malcolm Whitman, and it is proba-
ble that many of the dogs will be sold
in the East 1t is said that Miss
Crocker's determination to dispose OF
her pets was accentuated by the de-
termination of Mr.. Whitman to post
pone the marriage until she evinced
less interest in the kennels.

A. |. |. PICNIC
TO BE HELD
NEXT MONTH
At WILDWOOD PARK AS USUAL
Date Will Probably Be Middle:
Of June

Though no definite date for the al
fair has yet been announced, it has
been decided that the picnic annually
held by the Americus Light Infantry
will be given this year at Wildwood
park, in Columbus, next month. The
date selected will likely be about the
middle of the month.
The picnics of the local military
company are always occasions of in
terest for the members of tn ecom-
pany and their friends. Wildwood
park and Columbus seem to be fav-
orite places for the soldier boys, as
the picnic is held there practically
regularly.
AS is customary the company will
go to Columbus this year on a special
train. The rates for the trip will be
open to the public, and there will be
a number of friends of the soldier
boys to make the trip and to take the
outing with them.

BRICK WORK
Will SOON
BE READY
At new COLLEGE BUILDING
About Two Weeks Required
to Finish 1t

1t was announced yesterday by the
contractors who have charge of the
work at the Third District Agricultu
raj and Mechanical college on the
new dormitory that the brick work on
the dormitory would be practically
completed within two weeks. This
will leave the heaviest part of the
work on the dormitory finished
1t will be recalled that the building
is to be completed by the time the
fall term opens, that it may be ready
for occupancy by students at that
time, The progress. that is being made
on the building leads to the belief
that it will be finished very easily so
that the students may occupy it whe
the fall term opens.
1t remains now for the roof of the
building to be placed upon it, as this
will require some time Once the
roof is in, place the building will BIZ
ready for the inside finishing, which
can then be continued without refer
ence to weather conditions, which
might delay outside work. For this
reason it seems certain that the build
ing will easily be finished in time for
occupancy at the opening of the next
session.
Work, which had been discontinued
on the building for some time, was
resumed yesterday, so that it will go
On regularly now until the brick work
shall have been completed. The new
building presents an imposing ap-
pearance as it daily grows nearer
completion externally

WORK ON THE CITY HALL
WILL BE FINISHED SOON
Remodeling of Offices and Council Chamber Should Be
Completed By First of June-Quarters Will Be
Made Most Attractive

Indications now are that the work
of renovation and remodeling at the
city hall will be practically completed
by June l, as the work of installing
fixtures for the offices is being carried
on with such good results that the
completed officers and council cham
Der should be ready for occupancy by
Iune /, or very soon thereafter.
During the past few days the pro-
gress that has been made on the re-
arranging of the offices on the sec
ond floor of the city hall gives assur-
ance that this part of the work will
soon be completed. The placing of
the office fixtures in the new offices
IN the second floor gives better idea
than has yet been afforded of the
the manner in which the improve
ments will show up when they have
all been completed.
The convenience of the arrange
n.ent of the offices of the city clerk
and treasurer, the city engineer and
the mayor, which will all be right to-
gether on the second floor, is mani
fest at glance. Much trouble and
Inconvenience will be avoided by the
arrangement of the offices in this
r1anner, as it is in harmony with the
arrangements that would be suggest.

on trial in the United States court at
Macon, wherein G. C. Hall, a former
resident and contractor of Americus
is being tried upon the charge Jf
perjury as the result of bankruptcy
proceedings instituted some time ago
Several Americus parties have been
in Macon this week as witnesses at

with having tried to conceal some
$500
The case is brought on an indict-
ment on three counts, the first be-
ing that a schedule of $500 had been
omitted from the bankruptcy petition;
the second that on the Thursday be-
fore Mr. Hall went into bankruptcy
he sent $3.50 to his brother, L. B. Hall
in Cordele, and the third that on the
hearing of the special master, on GER
