MASON ANNUITY'S GROWTH
HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL
Concern Is Complete Success.

Atlanta, April 16.-Masons through
out the South will be interested in
the official report of Secretary George
E. Argard of the Supreme lodge oil
the Masons annuity. The receipts
for the last year were 1926, 1867 Is, and
the disbursements were 1923, ,966,33,
leaving an excess of income over dis
bursements of $102, ,700.82 This sum
has been added to the assets of the
order, and has been invested in reg
istered bonds, which no amount to
$419,26625.
These funds and other assets are
held for the protection of the MEM
bers and will be available in later
years to meet the regular payments
of the widows and orphans who by
force of circumstance become bene-
ficiaries of the order. The growth of
the order, as shown by the report
has been phenomenal. 1t is probably
the only fraternal organization of the
wind on earth starting without cent
and making a success. 1t is now in its
fourteenth year.

TO BEAUTIFY
THE WALKS IN
The CITY PARK
BY PAVING ALL OF Them
County Asked to Aid in the
Work

With the purpose in view of paving
all the various walks in the city park
in front of the county Jail building,
a request has been made by the city
officials of the county commissioners
to aid in the work of paving these
walks and putting them in first class
condition.
This is the work that no wconfronts
the city and county officials, and that
the city officials have taken an active
interest in to begin with, with the
hope that the county officials will al
so aid in the work. A request has
been made of the county commission
ers that they aid in the work by fur
nishing part of the labor and also help
furnish the materials needed
1t was very appropriately pointed
out when the matter was under dis
cussion that the city hall park now is
very unsightIy and in need of improve
ments such as the ones mentioned
which will not be very expensive. A.
| a good part of the park belongs to the
county, the suggestion was made tina
the county commissioners be calle6
upon to help defray the expenses o
the improvements contemplated.

CANNING PLANTS PREPARE
FOR OPENING OF SEASON
Prospects Never Better For Successful Season. Plants
Should Have Large Output

The peach canning prospects in
Americus were never brighter than
this season, and the assurance of an
excellent crop of peaches this year, as
reflected in the fruit now upon the
trees, gives promise of three very
busy months in Americus when the
several canning plants here are put il
operation.
Under favorable conditions a mil
lion cans of fruit should be the out
put of the canneries here, if the two
new plants in prospect are put IN
operation, which is quite probable. Mr.
]. d. Langrell, manager for the Balti-
| more plant which has been operated
here through three successive seas
| ons, came down yesterday to look ovei
the fruit prospect and that for a sue
cessful years business. Mr.. Langrel
thinks the prospect fiattering, ant
looks forward to a season of excellen
business.

Plans have been discussed here late
lv for the construction of nine-holc
golf course at the Country clup
grounds, so that Americus may possess
this very valuable attraction for tour
lists.
This radical improvement at the club
grounds has been contemplated for
some time, and with it the construc-
ton of two tennis courts, so as to
make this popular pastime available
for the members of the club. The two
tennis courts will soon be completed,
so that this game may be enjoyed by
the members during the summer sea-
son.
The construction of the golf links

TOO DIFFICULT
TO ENTERTAIN
ODD FELLOWS
AT GRAND LODGE CONVENTION
Invitation May Be Extended
Anyway
tCopyrIsnt.l

Though the matter of whether the
local Odd Fellows will extend an in
vitation to the Grand Lodge of Geor-
gia to meet here next year in annual
convention is still unsettled, there
seems but little doubt that the under
taking is too much for the city to at
tempt at this time.
The extending of an invitation to
the Grand Lodge will, however, likely
be made at the next session of that
body, which convenes in Gainesville
| next month. This will likely be done
more in the nature of placing the name
of the city before the body for favora-
Bile consideration later on rather than
in the hope that it will be accepted for
next year. The matter of auditorium
room for the holding of the meetings
is also an important consideration.
1t is believed by local Odd Fellows
that Americus can accommodate the
large number of delegates that would
attend this convention, which Mr.. F. G
Oliver, division deputy grand master,
estimates as high as $500. The tax
upon the hospitality of the city would
be pretty great, and the only manner
in which this large number of dele
gates could be entertained would be
for them to be cared for in large part
in the homes of the people of the city.
Division Deputy Grand Master F. G.
Oliver, together with Messrs. G. j.
Witt and S. H. Edge, who were ap-
pointed from the local lodge for the
purpose of considering the advisability
of inviting the convention, still have
( the matter under consideration. Thei!
$ decision may be announced now very
V soon If the convention is obtained j
Il would prove a great advertising fea
e ture for Americus and this section an(

GOLF LINKS MAY SOON BE
PLACED AT COUNTRY CLUB
Plans Discussed With That End in VleW-Nlne-Hole
Course Contemplated For the Club Grounds, Whlch
Would Make Great Tourist Attraction

AS the gun club, which has become
more intimately connected with the
club than hitherto, furnishes excellent
sport of this kind to all who wish to
take part in it, the establishment Of
the golf links will add one more at
traction to the list of recreations that
may be enjoyed at the Country club
grounds. With shooting, tennis and
golf available, it is thought that the
local club will be as attractive fol
tourists as any club of it's kind in the
state.
Especially is this true when the fac
that the excellent advantages of tn
Windsor Hotel, one of the best equip
ped hotels in this entire section, ar
readily available for tourists. 1t is be
lieyed that if Americus can gain tn
concession from the Southeastern Ta
riff association of full tourist privi
eges, that the other attractive fe;
lures here will be sufficient to brin
many tourists to Americus anothi
season. This would be one of IL
most helpful things that could happe
for the city and section, and 1t
: hoped that these plans may be carrie
out in full.

The fourth victory for young Ameri-

#was gained in Albany Monday when
hiss Luella Fields easily won the
IN aura Clementine Davis music medal
#offered at the Albany chautauqua for
S#he most proficient musician under Is

Miss Fields. who is only seventeen
] Years old, played the Sixth Rhapsodie
#from List in such an artistic and
#sympathetic manner that she was
#readily awarded the medal over all
Athe other contestants, who numbered
Neleven and who came from all parts

since the contests We're first inaugu-
hated makes Miss Fields victory all
#the more notable, too. Miss Fields
will graduate from the Bell school in
