new SYSTEM ADOPTED
At STAPLETON GARAGE
Pay Cash and Save Money
All Around

A new system of payment for re-
pair work has been adopted at the Sta
pleton-Rees garage, which should
prove widely popular here. 1t is the
offering of ten per cent. discount for
all work if it is paid for on delivery
This is a plan that should sa e
money both for the owners of the
garage and the patrons. The repair
bill is reduced by cash payment, and
the garage is saved the expense of en-
tering these accounts on books and or
paying for the bookkeeping.
Everything that is needed in the way
of repairs is to be had at the Staple
ton-Rees Auto Company, and at this
reduction in prices, which saves money
both for the patrons of the garage and
for the company itself The plan has
already met with the approval of a
majority of the patrons of the com
pany.

GETTING READY
FOR new PLAY
FROM AMATEURS
STRENUOUS REHEARSALS
Mice and Men" Scheduled
for April II

Strenuous reheaTsals are being Civ
en- to the young players of the Ameri-
Gus Dramatic association by Mrs. Mar
shall Martin in preparation for the
production of Mice and Men" here
about the second Friday in April. This
date has not yet been definitely chosec
but it is very likely that the next per-
formance of the local amateurs viii
be given at that time.
With the characteristic eighteenth
century costumes that will be used
the forthcoming production of the
Americus Dramatic association prom
ises to be more unique and interest
stimulating than any of the more pre-
tentious productions that have been at
tempted. The progress of the young
players so far has been most encour-
aging.
In brilliancy of dialogue and clever
ness of situations the new play will
rank second to none that the local
amateurs have presented Mrs. Martin
will devote herself most assiduously to
the work of training the young play
ers for this performance which will
be given as a Hospital benefit.

AMERICUS MAY
BE HOST FOR
The WOOOMEN
INVITATION TO Be EXTENDED
P. 0. S. of A. Is to Meet Here
Again

Americus will likely be host for the
next annual convention of the Wood
men of the World of Georgia, to which
an invitation is to be extended to hoUl
their next session in this city, and
with indications that the invitation will
be accepted. The Georgia State con-

are Messrs. w. NJ. Woodruff, J. NJ. To-
bin and DIR. H. B. Allen, though other
Woodmen here will also attend and
urge the acceptance of the invitation
to meet in Americus a year hence. Nv
Woodruff, of the local committee, is
state organizer for the w. o. w, and
popular among the many camps il
Georgia. 1t will be urged that Ameri-
Gus has never had the honor of enter
tanning state convention of the Wood
men of the World, and this privilege
will be insisted upon. Local Woodmen
feel assured that the invitation will be
accepted. The Americus Camp, No
2O2, has a membership exceeding two
hundred, and it's ranks will be largely
augmented during the current year as
great interest is manifested in lodge
affairs, and it is constantly growing.
The state convention meets in Thomas
vile on April 8th for a session Of
three days, and eXtenive preparation
is being made for the entertainment Of
the large number of visiting Woodmen

THREE SERVICES FOR TODAY
Great Interest Is Now BeinQ
Aroused Here

The Furlow Lawn revival services
grow in interest with each service.
There were two accessions to the mem
bership Friday. No services were he'll
Saturday. Today promises to be one
of the busiest days of the meeting. DR..
Gavin will speak four times, in the
Sunday school, at IL o'clock, at 4
o'clock and again at 7;3O.
All the services are for everybody
and all are invited to attend as many
of them as possible. The special sub
iect announced for Sunday night IS
The Second Coming of Christ"
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock the
subject will be "The Resurrection. >
The subject naturally follows the Sun
day night sermon on the Second
Coming of Christ" and the discussion
of it will gather about four ques-
tions
l. What do we mean by the resur
rection?
2. When will the resurrection be?
g. Where do the dead go when they
die?
4. With what kind of bodies will
they come forth in the Resurrection
DR.. Gavin says, Kindly say for me
that these subjects are not announced
with any intention of playing to the
sensational" He adds: 81 hate sensa-
tionalism in religion. AS matter OF
fact, the Bible has much to say abolt
the second coming of Christ; and,
Furthermore, answers positively the
four questions suggested by the resur-
rection."

Picture Rocks, Pa, March 2S.-As-
serting that they were fearful lest
woman will be granted the ballot and
their husbands will have to do the
housework, the able bodied men of
this place have formed an organization
known as the MEMS Sewing Square" !"
At the meeting last week they brcdght
sewing bags and their wives stockings
to mend, and began the task of plying
the needle in order to ascertain if
darning was as hard as they had al
ways been led to believe.
The Rev. I. n Earle, pastor of the
Methodist church, who was elected
chairman of the Square" presided,
and some of the work that the men
performed is declared by their wives
to have been far better than they
could have imagined.
The men prepared a supper without
women's aid, which they claim they
ate with relish, and were all home be-
fore II o'clock, The Square" will
meet once each week.

Tomorrow will prove a crucial point
il the history of the Americus schools,
as it will decide whether the people #
the city will give the schools better
support and consequently widen and
more effective growth, or whether It
will refuse this necessary aid.
A lively interest in the bond issue
has been aroused here. The large at

night served to open the eyes of many
who doubted the popularity of bonds.
The business-like manner in which the
mass meeting went about the conduct
of the business intrusted to it was an
other indication that served to make
the bond issue still more popular.
While there are committees arrang-
ed to have directly in charge the man
agement of the election, it is none the
less true that the ladies of Americus
