Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 10. - Ten
men formerly connected with the de-
funct American Union Trust COM
pany of this city, were indicted by the
federal grand jury today on a charge
of using the mails to defraud. The
savings of nearly three thousand peg
sons. mostly of limited means, were
involved in the failure of the trust
company two years ago shortly after

Two bills were returned against
each of the ten, one charging use OF
the mails to defraud and the other the

PLEASED With VISIT HERE
Officials Read Phosphate Co.
Ia AmeriCuS

To the end of seeing the finest farms
and the best public highways in Geor-
gia, and also meeting friends and bust
ness acquaintances here, Mr.. Charles
o. Otis, of New York, and Mr.. K. M
Read, of Savannah, general counsel
and treasurer, respectively, of the Re ID
Phosphate Co, spent yesterday in
Americus, the guests of their compa-
|ny's popular local representative, M
IT. M Furlow.
I'VE were told that we would see
many beautiful farms in Sumter" said
Mr.. Read, but l must confess that
both Col Otis and myself are more
than delighted at the splendid lands
TIE well-kept rural homes and the
general thrift and prosperity prevail
ing in Sumter. Surely, no other coun
ty in the south can su~pass yours"
Accomapnied by several prominent
citizens, the visitors were taken upon
a hundred-mile auto drive over the
county, including trips over the Les
lie, Plains, Friendship, Smithville and
Andersonville roads. Along the route
they saw much in an agricultural way
that interested them greatly
The Read Phosphate company does q
very large business in this section OF
Georgia, as over the southeast, and the
officials coming yesterday were desir-
Gus of meeting business acquaintance
here and seeing agricultural cond!-
tions. To say that they We're more
than pleased with Americus and Sum
ter would express but inadequately the
good opinions formed.
The visitors, with other guests, were
entertained handsomely at dinner Al
the Windsor, and left last night fol

Pretty Little GrAe of Three
Helps Xmas Fund With Her Pennies

II shook 'em from my tin bank, she
said. 81 want the poor little boys and
girls to be happy on Christmas" This
sweet little grille has caught the
Christmas spirit right. She was ac-
companied by her nurse and her little
eyes sparkled when we told her all
about Old Santa and how good he was
tc sweet little girls like her.
People in. city the size of Americus
are apt to feel that there ae no people
ir their community that need help oa
Christmas day. They feel that there iG
rc poverty in Americus like there is III
the larger cities But while the aver
age citizen of Americus is well able to
provide Santa Claus for his little ones
still there are those who are wonder
irg where they will get the money 10
make their kiddies happy. There are
plenty of such cases in Americus.
The Woman's Benevolent society has
kept in touch with the needy people Of
the city and they are going to see that
every single poor family is provided
fer on Christmas day. They are going
to play Santa Claus for the poor kid
dies of the city.
If you want to enjoy yourself on
Christmas make someone less forth
nate than yourself happy on that glad
day. Send in your contributions to
the Empty Stocking Fund and help

Christmas for the whole city. No one
is going to be sighted by Old Santa
in his rounds if the Empty Stocking
Fund keeps growing at its present rate.
Americus is going to make it a sue
cess.
People of every age are responding t.
the call for funds. Yesterday contri-
buttons were received from kiddies an
grown-ups alike. One sweet little miss
came into the office and counted out
sixteen pennies and turned them over
TO the Christmas editor with smile.
