While Amercus has an abundant

derived from numerous artesian wells
other south Georgia localities are
less favorite, and from these there
comes the complaint of rapid failure
of water. In some sections hereabout
the railways are having difficulty in
getting enough water for the opera
ton of trains. The past month has
been "bone dry" and while greatly
to the advantage of cotton and other
crops, and to the saving of the mag

prove most beneficial Here in the

The Board of Directors of our Y

tive committee to make public the
fact that their recent efforts have not
aVailed to raise the entire amount nee
essary to save the Y. NJ c. A. build

property, it is still necessary to
raise an additional $25OO in bona fide
subscriptions. If this additional
amount is not raised by eight o'clock
Tuesday night, the 21st instant, the
directors will be forced to cease their
efforts and a receiver will be applied
for forthwith.
Of the entire citizenship of our COM
munity, thirty-one people have sub
scrlbed more than $14,OOO.O9 of the
$l6,O0O,OO already pledged.
Now, fellow citizens, the Board OF
directors feel that they have done their
full duty. They have not only sub
scribed most literally to the fund al
ready pledged, but in addition to this
they have given their valuable time,
thought and energy to this work, in
an effort to save this property, and
prevent the embarrassment of a re-
ceivership, which We believe would do
our city serious injustice.
Many of our prominent citizens have
subscribed absolutely nothing as yet

amply able to give, and give literally;
and many of those that have subscrib-
