their breath after the week of hard
work for that must excellent cause,
but they are radiant over the success
OF their undertaking.
The week was a success from every
standpoint From Monday night whe1
the "ye old time concert was staged,
to Saturday, when sumptuous dinner
wound up the program, the week was
a treat to Americus. The old time con-
cert pleased and amused everyone. The
singing of old time songs by Mrs.
Scarborough and others, the nimble
dancing of Capt. Cobb, ct al. will
long be remembered by all. The
restaurant, each day tickled the palate
of all that were fortunate enough to
turn out. The baby show was a "how;-
ing" success. The demonstrations con-
Quoted by the merchants pleased the
eye. The-well the everything was a
success.
Mrs. Emmet L. Murray, president of
the association, was too tired out after
the weeks hard work for long inter
view last night, but she said, in part:
