In another column will be found complete financial reports of both the water and sewerage districts made by the commissioners. The report shows amounts received, paid out and for what. Mt is a good report. Since 1t is the duty of our commissioners to publish these reports it is also the duty of the property owning citizen to read them and keep track of the pro- gress of the city's business. The system is getting fairly started, and is making better showing than had been expected. It is understood that the incorporated town will also make a report soon They have now a good checking and auditing system, but it has been almost if not quite impossi- ble to get a starting point for a true statement from the old records, so as to show the amount of scrip outstand- ing. It will be easy to show how all the funds for the past three or four years have been handled, and such a showing should be made at the earli- est possible date.

It is not yet clear what plans are in view, if any. The underwriters re- quirements have not yet been compli- ed with on account of the time it is taking the lighting company to get duplicate plant and pressure pumps in operation. It is hoped that sol ution will be reached that will bring about the results hoped for and ex- pected.

DAIRY FARMER HAS
 GAINED 30 POUNDS
Declares He Now Eats Better, Sleeps Better and Feels Better in Every
 Way Since Taking Tanlac.

Everybody in Columbia, Tenn knows F. c. McGovock, who owns and op- crates a large dairy business in that city.
 If there ever was believer in Tan. lac' said R. M Smiser, the we'll known Columbia. Tenn. druggist. "iS is Nc. McGoyock. as he talks about 1t all the time. But he has a right to talk, as no medicine has ever helped any one as much as Taniac has, helped him. He really dos not look like the same man." There is MT McGovock's statement:
 q have now taken five bottles of Tanlac and have gained thirty pounds. If you don't believe it, right here I am come and look at me. I don't know what my trouble was, but was all run down and was unfit for work. I think, though. it must have been my stomach, as 1 had no appetite and nothing seemed to agree with me. was also nervous and could not sleep. I just kept going down hill and losing weight right along, and nothing did me any good until Smisel, the druggist told me about Tanlac.
 q tried it on his recommendation and it hlped me from the firss doses. The medicine seemed to take hold right at once, and I began to eat bet ter, sleep better and feel better right from the start. If anybody wants to- know what I think of Tanlac, just tell them to come and see me. I am right here in Columbia. Tanlac has simply made a new man of me and 1 expect to tell all my friends about what 1t has done in my case"
 Referring to the above atement, G. F. Willis, Southern distributor of Tanlac, said:
 "Tanlac is without exception the greatest medicine of it's kind on the American market today. The extreme popularity of Tanlac can only be ac> counted for by the extraordinary mer> it of medicine. The system besides being purified, is toned up and inv1g- orated, as the preparation aside from it's cleansing the blood. revitalizes the constitution. overcoming as 1t quickly seems to do, nervousness, indigestion, non-assimilation of the food. head aches, dizziness and other troubles that are so common" Sold in Ash down by the Boyer Drug Co.,; in Fore> man by the Foreman Drug Co.,; and in Ogden by Roy Budd. advt.

al hereby waised as to this contract.
The terms for raising the amount is
fixed so easy in its payments that there
ought not to be a single citizen of
Americas or Sumter county who
should hesitate to place some of this
stock to his credit. From the expert
ence of all fairs last year in Georgia,
there was not a single one, even to the
least, but what has declared a 1919
dividend.
A letter received by Secretary-Man-
ager Hyman states that there is a
chance to get Ringing Bros Great
Circus on the grounds, and in the event
that they cannot come, the Great Wal
-Hagenbeck Shows will take their
place. At the coming convention of
fair secretaries to be held in Macon
OH Thursday, February 10th, this mat
ter will be settled, as the representa-
tives of these two great shows will be
there for conference with the secreta-
ries. If Americas can secure one of
these big shows at the Third District
fair, it will bring over $4,000 people
here that day. The fair committee will
meet Tuesday afternoon, and it is plan
ned tC get busy after that meeting and
push the sale of the stock.

HICKMAN INUNDAT TED;
LARGE AREA FLOODED

HICKMAN, Ky, Jan. 31.-The West
Hickman levee broke early today, and
the lowlands along the river front
we're flooded within an hour. Ire
mendous pressure had weakened the
levee, which gave way, notwithstand-
ing ecorts to support weak sections.
Eight hundred persons are homeless
and the property damage will be
heavy. It is estimated the loss will
total 100000, which includes the de-
struction of valuable wharfage, owned
by the City of Hickman.
In the business section of Hickman.
stocks of goods have been badly dam
aged by water, as the Mississippi river
is slowly backing into that part OF
town. Hundreds of barges and small
boats have been pressed into service
in the effort to salvage as much mer-
chandise as possible.

there was sold in this country one and
oae-tenth grams of radium (element)
at the rate Of $120,0O0 a gram, accord
ing to a report issued today by the
United States geological survey. The
entire output of the United States last
year, however, was only grams, or
about 1-76 of a pound avoidupois. The
European war'caused a great slump in
the production of radium, as in 1914
there were 22.3 grams produced.
The United States has the largest
known radium-bearing deposits in the
yorld," says the geological survey,
but the market for radium is mostly
in Europe, for, although Americans
like to feel that they are sufficiently
progressive to take hold of and use to
tie full new discoveries, inventions
anu plOC6SSSo, yet Luc EuI Optdu HULL
.cipalities and hospitals have been buy
irg and utilizing most of the radium
produced. When the war began, there
fore, causing European money to flow
into other channels, the demand for
radium fell off SO greatly that there
was practically no market for radium
or uranium ores in the early part of
ISIS, and very little market during any
part OF the year"
AS a result of the collapse of the
radium marketJ mining or radium-
bearing ores except for such work as
was necessary to hold claims, was
nearly stopped. Through the efforts
o. the experts of the United States bu-
reau of mines a process has been de,
veloped by which radium has been
produced at a cost of $37,599 a gram.
The principal fields of the radium-
bearing ores are in Colorado and
Utah.

and then her head went high and she
turned her back upon me as she had upon
Hooja-
Some of the prisoners laughed, and I
saw the face of Ghak the Hairy One go
very black as he looked at me search-
ingly And what / could see OF Dian's
cheek went suddenly>from red to white.
Immediately after we had resumed the
march, and though realized that In some
way I had offended Dian the Beautiful,
could not prevail upon her to talk with
me that l might learn wherein ] had
erred. In fact might quite as well have
been addressing a sphynx for all the at
tention l got.
At last my foolish pride stepped in and
prevented my making any further at
tempts, and thus companionship that
had come to mean a great deal to me
was cut off.
Thereafter I confined my conversation
to Perry. Hooja did not renew his ad-
vances toward the girl, nor did he again
venture near me.
Again the weary and apparently Inter
mlnable marching became perfect night
mare of horrors to me.
The more firmly fixed became the reali-
zation that the girls friendship had
meant so much to me the more / came to
miss It, and the more impregnable the
barrier of silly pride. But 1 was very
young and would not ask Ghak for the
explanation which ! was sure he oould
give and that might have made every
thing all right again.
on the march, or during halts, Dian re-
fused consistently to notice me. AT last
] became desperate and determined TO
swallow my self-esteem and again beg her
to tell me how / had offended and how L
might make reparation.
made UP my mind that should do this
at the next halt We were approaching
another range of mountains at the time,
and when we reached them, instead OF
winding across them through some high
flung pass, we entered a mighty natural
tunnel-a series of lahyrinthan grottos
dark as Erebus.
The guards had no torches or lights OF
any description. In fact, we had seen no
artificial light or sign of fire since we had
entered Pelucidar. In a land of perpetual
noon there is not need of light above
ground, yet I marveled that they had no
means of lighting their way through these
dark subterranean passages.
So we crept along at n snail's pace,
with much stumbling and falling-the
guards keeping UP a singsong chant
ahead of u.s. interspersed with certain
high notes which found always indicated
rough places and turns
Halts were now more frequent, but 1
did not wish to speak to Dian until 1
could see from the expression of her face
how she was receiving my apologies.
AT last a faint glow ahead forewarned
us of the end of the tunnel, for which I
for one was devoutly thankful.
Then at n sudden turn we emerged Into
the full light of the MONDAY sun.
But with 1t came a sudden realization
of what meant to me real catastrophe.
Dian was gone, and with her half a
dozen other prisoners.
