CITY TO FURNISH
FREE LICENSES
FOR THE FIF TIL

Mayor Council in response to a pc
tition from the Chamber of Commerce,
has agreed to lift the special license
usually charged lunch counters and
lunch vendors for the Fifth. Anyone
wishing to erect a stand and sell
lunches may do so without securing
a license for the day.
With 5000 to 5000 visitors in Amer
icus on the Fifth, it would be an i'm
possible task for the hotels and res
taurants to feed them all. The vis!
tors must be well fed and cared foc.
Consequently the mayor has seen fit
to announce that licenses on lunch
counters for that day will be free.

Chief Marshall of the Day, Monday,
July 5th.
The citizens present thought that no
better man in Americas could be
found for this position, on account of
Capt Forts wide experience in mil
itary affairs and his travelling off to a
great many celebrations of this char
acter.
Capt Fort is one of Americus' bright
young men, who is always up and do
ing when it is for his home town. He
is tireless worker and the young men
of the military company think great
deal of him.
Capt. Fort will appoint 10 aids de
camp, who will assist him in the work
of the day.
Hon. Egbert Allen was also elected
as manager of the two ball games to
be played upon the grounds of the
Americus Ball Park. The entire man
agement of the park will be under M.
Aliens supervision and he is positively
the best man that could be picked out
for the position.
Enthusiasm ran high at the meeting
and many good things were said of
the work that has been accomplished
so far. The news was brought in that
people are coming here by the thous-
ands from far and near, and the one
thing that was impressed by this an
nouncement was the fact that we must
have ample accommodations to feed
this crowd. Lunch stands and other
places should be opened by those want
ing to make some money that day, for
it will surely take great amount of
food stuff to feed our visitors.

 WEEDS MUST BE CUT

 Facing Police Judge.

Another Warning that some specific city ordinance is to be enforced has been given residents of Pine Bluff this latest being the announceme mt that weeds must be cut at once, else the offending property owner will be asked to explain matters to the police judge. =
 The police department is now wig orously enforcing the ordinance rela- tive to registration of automobile li- cense tags. The city tax collector is preparing to issue warrants against those persons who have failed to work the streets or pay the str ct tax, and now Alderman J. M. Simp- son, chairman of the sanitary com mittee of the council, announces that unless weeds and tall grass are cut and removed, the police will be given lot more warrants to serve.
 Particularly at. this season of the year do mosquitoes thrive in weeds and tall grass. where they obtain shelter from the sunshine and bright light which they obhor. Stagnant water is necessary for the breeding of mosquitoes, and invariably the stagnant water can be found in old tin cans or other such .receptacles among the weeds. Unsightly, unsani- tary, and generally unhealthy. 6 source of annoyance and danger, weeds ale absolutely unnecessary and for this reason the authorities are determined they shall be cut dovn at once by property owners.
