ladies in charge of the preliminary
work have made it a sure success by
their untiring efforts. The largest
crowd that has turned out in long

Saturday the young ladies of Ameri-

enough tickets to make the prospects
bright. One committee, in addition t.
selling a bunch of tickets, circulated a
petition among the merchants. AS a
result of this petition, the merchants
have agreed to close at $3.50, SO that
their clerks may attend the game.
Monday is going to be red letter

ball club as the proceeds from that
game will help balance his bank ac-

dollar goes to the Americus club. Cor

Americas Boys Enjoyed The

Bronzed by exposure during the ten
days of encampment at Augusta with
the 5000 state troops, the Americus
Light Infantry treked homeward yes
terday morning at 500 O'Clock and
spent the day telling their less fortu-
nate friends at home of the pleasures
of the trip to the tented arena on Au-

ier boys were in fine form as they de-
trained at the Central station here and
marched blithely to their armory.
1t was the greatest trip the Light
Infantry has ever taken," said Lieut..
J. E. B. McLendon and this sentiment
was generally endorsed by the rank
and file of the gallant A. L. l.
The location of the camp was ideal,
and in near proximity to the city o.
Augusta by trolley. With such large
number of troops, almost the entire
state military organization, the drill
ing and brigade formation was entire
ly satisfactorily. The Americus soldier
hoys were in fine trim throughout the
stay there, and no other company
showed up to better effect.

Of course, according to the rules of

get a seat in the bleachers for 25, or
in the grandstand for 80, but they will
have to rub elbows with more patriotic
fans who have paid their dollars D
see the game. The one dollar price
admits to either the grandstand or the
bleachers.

against sCordele and Rip Reagan will
probably use Fillengem against him.

Americus warehouses held 25 bales

yesterday at any price for the 25
bales, as there were no market re-

Inc AmerlcuS Public Service Co.
will be the new corporate name of the
organization which will shortly take
over the two large and modern cleo
trio lighting and power plants in
Americus, disposing Of the smaller en-
terprise and operating the remaining
plant which, in time, and under a feas-
ible plan, will become the property of
the City of Americus. In the mean
time, patrons will be afforded excel
lent service, at minimum cost.
The plans have been outlined and
agreed upon by all parties at interest,
stockholders in both existing corpora
tions-the Americus Power Co. and the
Public Utilities Co-the city council
of Americus fully asserting to tn :
terms proposed.
In the proposed amalgamation of the
two properties, "The Americus Public
Service Co." will issue new securities
to the amount of $225,O0O. Of this
sum stockholders of the Americus
Power Co. will be apportioned S62, 500
as the value of their plant, while
stockholders of the Public Utilities
Co. will receive securities to the
amount of $162,5OO. The Georgia Rail-
way commission, having Jurisdiction
in such matters of public utilities, has
just authorized the issuing of the new
securities, looking to the proposed con :
solidation.
In the organization of "The Ameri-
Gus Public Service Co.," Mr.. L. G.
Council will be president. Mr.. W. r.
Brown, vice president, and Mr.. Frank
Lanier, secretary and treasurer. The
new corporation will be capitalized at
$2,250 only-or just one per cent. Of
the amount of the bond issue author
ized-$225,00O. Upon the distribution
Of the new bonds, both the existing
corporations will make deeds of trans
fer to the Americus Public Service Co.
The operation and management of
the new company will be at the hands
of board of three trustees, Messrs.
c. M. Council, Frank Sheffield and +.
E. Poole, the two former having been
identified with the existing interests,
while Mr.. Poole will represent the
city's interests. After the payment of
all operating expenses, the remaining
profits will be put into fund for the
benefit of the municipality.
The plan of consolidation meets With
very general approval and, it is be-
lieved, will be the solution of long-ex-
listing and perplexing lighting condi.
