EAST POINTERS
HAVE BARBECUE
RYLANDER FARM
HOST OF KINDRED SPIRITS
Enjoyed a Feast Royal on
Saturday

Bounteous crops and general pros
perity are elements conducive to gooi
fellowship and good living, and it was
this spirit that induced a score OF
Sumter's prosperous and progressive
young planters to assemble yesterday
at the bacheloric but hospitable home
Iof Mr.. Frank Barber, on the Rylander
plantation, for a feast of cue and
flow Of soul-just such an occasion as
this representative aggregation of
young men could fully appreciate.
The guests, or rather club members,
constitute newly-orgnaized cue club
(may the number increase) which is
named the East Point club, and a feast
royal will be enjoyed bi-monthly, while
the barbecue season lasts.
1t was the pleasure of President
bdl DCl W bS uOSl W Tue CluD NELL
bers on this occasion, and it was the
expressed wish of all present that this
duty devolye often upon him. Such a
feast of 'cue and condiments has rare
ly been spread before on a Sumter
county plantation, where barbecues
were invented and have grown in popu-
larity until the entire south has adopt-
ed it as the promoter of prosperity and
of good fellowship.
Capt j. NJ Bream, superintended
the preparation of the dinner, a ia IT
which entities him to life membership
in the club and a crown, later.
Every East Pointer" present is
prosperous resident of the immediate
neighborhood, and each boasts mag
nifcent crop, which would cause .
Texas farmer to turn green with envy.
May each succeeding feast day be
the equal of that at which President
Barber was the host genial.

Annual Outing on Thursday
Night Next

One of the fixed annual social affairs
in Americus, and one which, through
years of usage becomes more enjoy
able and popular each year is the out
ing planned for the officers and teach
ers of First Methodist Sunday school.
The program generally includes an
extended automobile drive in the early
evening, the guests congregating at
9 o'clock at some delightful rendezy-
Gus for supper. More than half
hundred congenial people usually
make up the invited list, and very
pleased and happy host it is. These
Sunday school workers have selected
next Thursday evening as the date Of
their 1914 outing, the usual automobile
drive ending at o'clock at favorite
picnic resort, where a barbecue lunch
con will await the many guests.

CITY'S Streets
LONG NEGLECTED;
NEED ATTENTION
INFERIOR TO COUNTY ROADS
Are Residence Streets In
Many Localities

Americus people can point with civic
pride to many Improvements and en-
terprises, but it is a lamentable fact
that her residence streets are not in
cluded a condition which has long
existed, for reasons unknown. Essen
TALLY city, the streets in many resi-
dence sections of Americus are those
of village, where no pretense of Give
improvement is in evidence This Is
fact lamentable, (and not in keeping
with the general spirit of progress
here.
1t is true that the street department
has been at work during many months
upon improvements in East Americus,
but this is no reason why the thor
ouhgfares in other sections, much
more used, should be neglected.
There are sections of Lee, Taylor,
College, Church an others of the
more prominent residence streets that
by no means compare with the good
roads of Sumter county-a compari-
son detrimental to Americus. In fact,
it is declared by many drivers that
they can tell, with closed eyes, when
they cross the city's boundary lire
and roll upon the smooth, velvety sur
face of the county highway; a joy and
pleasure, indeed, to those who drive.
1t is quite possible that the street
committee of council has intended
making ere long the improvement of
the city's principal streets so greatly
needed. Intentions are good in a way,
but action upon this line would greatly
rebound to the advantage of Americus
and the pride of it's people.
