MRS. EVA CARPENTER Is nEAn
Former Sank Centre Resident Passes
Away in HOsltal at San Fran
cisco, California.

G. M. Sprague received message
from his nephew, fred Carpenter, OIL
San Francisco, telling OF the death OF
his mother, MRS. Eva Carpenter IN a
hospital IN tnat city. Mrs. Carpenter
was a sister OF mrs. Sprague, ana a
little over a year ago underwent a
serious operation, which mace her an
Invalid. The OLD trouble returned a
few weeks ago, ana physicians agreed
there was no help for her. Death &C.
Cured Monday, June 70.
Old settlers will remember the fam
lily Of E. L. Wright, who came here
in the late sixties, father, mother and
three charming daughters. They were
family much beloved and during
their stay here the daughters grew to
womanhood. The oldest, Amelia, be-
came the wife Of c. NJ. Sprague. Eva,
the second daughter, married Ira B.
Carpenter, who was express messen-
ger, having an office in the building

the family. Emily, the youngest
daughter, married a Mr.. Bissell.
These three women, much beloved in
their several home places by all who
knew them, have died within the past
two and one-half years.
The death of Mrs. Carpenter, fol-
lowing just year after Mrs. c. M.
Sprague's death, brings the old
friends great sorrow. She was low
ely woman in every way and able to
grapple with hard things that came
to her with courage and cheerfulness.
Her own sorrows or troubles were
never put upon another. She agreed
that the world had enough without
hers and she was a benediction to her
own family, and held the highest
place in the love and esteem of all
her friends. Mrs. Carpenter leaves
two sons: Fred in San Francisco and
Claude on the homestead ranch in
California. She also leaves two grand
sons, the children of her son Claude.
One by one the people of early days
are being called away, leaving a sad
and lonely feeling with those who
tarry yet awhile longers-Centributed.

EXTRA POLICE On
DUTY AS ATLANTA
sur FFERS STRIKE
(BY QUIMBY MELTON.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 30.-Following
agitation continued during several
days recently a general strike of street
II employees on the lines of the Geor-
gia Railway & Electric Company here
was called to begin Saturday after
noon at $50 o'clock. Promptly at
that hour many men left their cars,
but the number of desertions has not
yet seriously affected the service.
Officials of the operating company,
who had anticipated such move were
prepared to handle the situation, and
the places of strikers were all prompt
ly filled.
Soon after the strike was inaugural
ed, the police reserves were stationed
throughout the downtown section of
Atlanta and early tonight kept close
watch on developments there. Mayor
Woodward called meeting of the po-
lice commission early this afternoon,
AID at this meeting plans for keep
ing down violence were worked OUT.
Strict orders were given patrolmen
ard reserves to handle rioters with
the utmost dispatch and public state
ment issued by authority of the police
department says that rioting is to be
suppressed at all hazards.
Labor leaders claimed tonight that
the strike is developing satisfactorily
and that the tie-up will become com
plete before Sunday night, but this
claim has not been borne out by the
interruption in service claimed to
has been caused. Cars are moving
tonight, apparently, as usual, and off :
GERS of the Georgia Railway & Power
Company, assert that little inconven-
ience will be suffered by the public as
a result of the strike.

SECOND YEAR Of
THE AFTERNOON
DAILY Of THE T. -R.

Today marks the second anniversary
Of the change of the Americus Times
Recorder from morning daily to an
afternoon newspaper
On October 1st, 1914, the Times-Re-
Icorder was changed from it's publica-
ton days of every morning, except
Monday, to every afternoon except
Sunday. In October, 1915, the Satur-
day afternoon daily was discarded and
the Sunday morning Times-Recorder
begun again.
These are interesting facts which
mark the rapid strides of the Times
Recorder during those two years when
she changed from the morning paper
to the afternoon daily. The most inn
portant event coupled with the change
was the membership of the Associated
Press which the paper assumed on the
day of the change in October, 1914.
Since that time the old reliable news
service has been steady in its dispensa-
tion of all the news of the world. With
the European war raging; the United
States undergoing the most serious
events in her history; and the entire
world aglow with interesting happen
ings-it has been necessary to have
telegraphic service. When the Times
Recorder was morning paper
through the entire week, it had to de-
pend on the state press and special
correspondents Today, she has joined
hands with the greatest American pa
rers in the cooperative plan of gath
ering news under the name of the As
sociated Press. To say that having
the A. P. is indispensable is speaking
hut mildly
The progress of the paper in circula-
tion has been steady, although the new
ness of the change in its early days
caused the public to accustomize
themselves to the afternoon paper The
Times-Recorder in the afternoon has
the field clear before any other paper
by three and one-half hours. 1t car
RES the news which is found in the
early editions of the outside morning
papers, known to the newspaper fra
ternity as bulldogs"
Just glance through today's Times
Recorder and see what it means to be
coupled with the outside world by
telegraphic wires, always on the alert.
And, the Times-Recorder is the only
paper in the Third congressional dis
trict with telegraphic service.
