Baptist Sunday school will be interest
ed in knowing that the pins, as an
award for faithful attendance, are
here and will be delivered to those who
made the good records during the year
1915, this morning at Sunday school
service. 1t is worthy of note that a
goodly number of the pupils in this
school during several years have neve-
missed attendance single Sunday.
This Sunday school has outgrown it's
quarters and definite steps have been
taken to enlarge its quarters, and in all
probability its facilities will be very
much improved in the very near future.
The attendance at this school is con-
stantly on the increase. This is the
second yeare it has qualified as an AL
school in the standard of excellence
prescribed by the Sunday school board.
A cordial invitation is extended to
everybody to attend it's services.

WORK HAS BEGUN
DIRECTORY CITY
AND THE COUNTY

Active work has begun upon maak
ing directory of the city of Americas
and Sumter County.
A. S. Murie, director of the working
force now at work in the Office of the
Americus and Sumter County Chamber
of Commerce, has arrived and he has
some of the very best ben in this line
of work with him, and Americas and
Sumter county will have one of the
best directories in Georgia.
Americus is the only city of her size
in the state that has no directory. 1t
will mean a great help to our merch-
ants. There will be section devoted
to Plains, Leslie, De Soto and Ander-
sonville. Each one of these sections
will have the name of all residents of
these towns in Sumter county.
There will be installed in the Office
of the Chamber of Commerce COM
plete library of all directories printed
il the United States. This library will
enable any citizen to come to the
Chamber of Commerce and find the ad-
dress of any one living in the United
States. This library will be valued
at $4,000.
Now that the homes and places of
business are numbered it is easy to
make the location of our citizens easy
to find. The men will make house
to house canvass of the city, and it is
expected that the people at the homes
cooperate with the eanvassers and
give them the desired information with
pleasure. If this is done then our
directory will be complete II everyNde-
tail.

LAMBERT HEADS
LE
SCHOOLS ON Il

Prof. J. F. Lambert, principal of
the Americas High school, vas elected
late Saturday afternoon as superinten-
dent of the Hawkinsville public schools
for the remainder of the scholastic
year, and the full scholastic year of
1867.
1t is understood that Mr.. Lambert's
affiliation with the Hawkinsville schols
will take effect Monday, February 14th,
and he will be with the Americas
schools for this week.
1t is likely that Prof. C. M. Hale
will be made principal of the High
school to succeed Mr.. Lambert, but
no action has been taken as to Mr.
Lambert's successor in the science de-
partment of the school.
The news of Prof. Lambert's depar-
ture came suddenly, and created much
surprise and disappointment in Amer
icus, as he leaves with the best wishes
but sincere reluctance of the entire
leople.
Prof Lambert has been in Americus
for several years and during that time
has endeared himself to the public,
both parents and students. He was
graduated from Emory college, and
made splendid record in that insti-
tuition.
Although Ameericus regrets to give
him up, the we'll wishes of all of his
many friends go with him and his FAM
liz to their new home.

LONDON. Feb. 5.-No noteworthy in

A force of the British army marching
towards the relief of General Town
sends forces at Kut Ell Amara have

Tigris river and do not appear to be
able to make much further progress.
Reports from Constantinople declare
that the counter-attacks of the Turkish
forces threw the British back at Eel
hale to their original positions.
The Bulgarians are reported to be
having a hard time in Albania. They
have been obliged to fall back to the
Drind river near the eastern frontier.
The occupation of strategic points
ty Essal Pasha and the Serbian troops
which reformed at Durazzo, makes
Athens believe that new Bulgarian
expedition towards the coast is diff

The Austrian advance down the AL
banian coast continues. The last ad-
vises apparently indicate that these
forces are twenty miles northeast of
Durazzo. The arrival of two thousand
Montenegrian troops at Durazzo is
announced.

Mr.. BROWN LOSES ON
THE WARM WEATHER

The farmers of the county have been
very unfortunate in the last few days
in preserving their meats, butchered
recently
The change in the weather during
the middle of the week is attributed as
being the destructive agent that has
played havoc with the products of the
smoke-house. Two weeks ago the
Gather was ideal for hog-killing but
the sudden upheaval of the thermom-
eter during the latter part of the
week destroyed all visions of ample
hog and hominy.
w. E. Brown was notified that the
fine meat he had killed recently had
follen a victim to the warm weather.
Mr.. Browns loss in this instance will
run into the hundreds. He lost several
hams and shoulders besides sustaining
other losses. But he is not the only
one to suffer loss in the last few days.
Many other farmers have lost consider
able meat and eevry day the reports
become more numerous.
This is a good time for all the farm
ers who have meat stored away to un-
pack their supply and see if it is in
first class condition other wise the
meat is in serious danger of spelling.
The work required is only matter of
8 few minutes and the benefits derived
would prove manifold.

Interest in the Sunday school work

ian residing in Americas. The Baraca
class of First Baptist Sunday school,
the leaders have determined, is to be
increased to 100 members by next
Sunday, and the school body, will be
pushed upto 500 attendants by that
time.
The movement to bring unattached
persons into the Sunday schools OF
Americus is spontaneous among the
several denominations, and many new
members have already been added.
Musical programs of worth are rem
dered weekly at all of the school
gatherings, and these occasions are
made attractive in other ways for those

LICENSE TAG To

SUMTER COUNTY

A resolution will be introduced at
ithe regular meeting of the board of
county commissioners of Sumter coun-
ty Monday morning putting the people
on notice that the law requiring the
registration of autobomi1es and motor
cycles will be strictly enforced.
The la wallows owners of vehicles
under this act to use the old tags until
March 1st, but after that time they are
liable under the law. Where no tag is
possessed, now, the law is effective,
and all cases will be strictly enforced.
This is the first move on the part Of
the county commissioners following
the mandamus proceedings against
Secretary of State Phil Cook for Sum

1t was alleged at the time that Sumter
was not enforcing the law.
The people are to be placed on notice
regarding the enforcement of law, so
the next move is for you to supply your
power propelled carriers with the nee
essary tags and registration under the
law.

HOLLAND WAKES
WITH ANGER FOR
SINKING VESSEL

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Feb. 5
There is unanimous demand foi
prompt explanation by Germany, to-
gether with monetary reparation, fol
the torpedoeing of the Dutch liner Ar
tennis by a German torpedo boat, in
the North Sea- This demand is given
universal expression in Netherlands
newspapers throughout the country to-
Cay. Punitive measures against the
German commander are openly de,
manded in the afternoon newspapers
published Eele and at Rotterdam and
Amsterdam, CHEZ cities of tie Meth
erlands.
Indignation aroused by @::.e alleged
unwarranted act is widespread and it is
feared outbreaks may occur. The
tension along the border has been vis-
IDLY increased since the disaster, and
guards there have been increased.
Dutch Notifications before the Belgian
frontier are being strengthened to-
day. There is little information from
Berlin touching upon the sinking Of
the Artemis, and distinct air of per-
simism is everywhere evident. The
Dutch minister at Berlin will formally
protest against the outrage, but the
tender of this protest is being delayed,
awaiting full information concerning
the attack on the liner.
The sinking of the Artemis is de-
scribed by the Netherlands press today
as a high-handed violation of interna-
tional law, and the act is strongly de-
nounced as "an act of war against the
Netherlands. Such strong language
as the foregoing is said 70 voice the
universal sentiment of the Dutch peo-
pie, who have already suffered many
hardships through the war, although
a position of strict neu-
trality. The speedy punishment of the
German commander, it is said, will be
insisted upon, and failure to comply
with demand for explanation and
reparation on the part of the Ber-
lin government, may result in Hol-
land entering the war on the side of
the Entente nations.

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-No new develop
ments came to light concerning the
rLusitania case today. There is, how
ever a distinct lessening of tension in
evidence, and news from Washington
il; awaited in Berlin with unusual in
terest.
With the publication yesterday OF
information touching Germany's at
titude toward the Lansing -Bernstorff
proposals, considerable anxiety was
expressed, but today much of the spirit
of pessimism has disappeared, and
the Berlin public has strong hopes a
break with the American government
will yet be averted.
Few of the afternoon papers COM
mented upon the negotiations in their
issues today, evidently preferring to
await authentic news from Washing
ton, before giving expression to opin-
ion regarding the refusal of the for
eign office in declining to incorporate
the word illegal" in its note of re-
gret to be sent the Washington gov
ernment. The attitude of the German
press toward this position is generally
interpreted as favorable, but failure to
publish such opinions is looked upon
in Berlin as a distinctly optimistic in
dication.
The Associated Press learns on re-
liable authority this afternoon that
Secretary Lansing's proposals regard
ing submarine warfare and the arm
ing of merchant ships, have not yet
been submitted to the Berlin govern
ment. These proposals, which are to
be submitted to each of the bellig-
erent governments, would establish an
agreement abolishing the arming of
merchant ships altogether, and rules
for the operation of submarines would
also be laid down. Great Britain, it is
reported here, has already declined to
accede to the proposals.
