which organization the old court house
was removed and the Windsor Hotel

EHIaies Thought to Bring Luck.

The scarab Of the land of the Pyra-
mlds Is the expression Of the hope of
resurrection and the desire to live
long. As the beetle was supposed to
be always born anew, so the carrying
of the beetle or it's image came into
the customs of the ancients. The war
riors of an elder day hung the images
of goes about their necks, and many
of the brooches and pins of the old
fighters were the effigies of luck-bring-
ing divinities.

enjoys the distinction of having the
best side walks of any city of its size
in the state. Every residence street
has its smooth, evenly laid pave

miles in any direction on heXagon

pavements conduce to the comfort
and pleasure of pedestrians. All of
this vast improvement as stated, has
been made within the past six years,
and the work of extension goes rapid
~ forward. Lee street, the principal
residence thoroughfare is paved upon
either side distance of one and a
half miles.
This quality of sidewalk paving is
very durable, and not in a quarter
century will it be necessary to re
build any of these fine pavements.
With the sidewalks thus paved
Americas next took a long step for
ward in the march of progress by de-
Gliding to pave with creOsoted wood
blocks all the street, in the business
section. To this end a bond issue
was authorized by the voters, the
election resulting in favor of street
paving by almost unanimous action.
Under terms of the paying con-
tract the municipality was to pay one
third the cost. while property own
ers upon the streets improved paid
the remaining two-thirds. About
1926, 900 in round figures was accord
ingly expended in paving the bust
ness streets of Americas. Creosoted
block has been laid along Jackson,
Lamar, Forsyth Lee, Windsor and
Cotton avenue, the total mileage i'm
proved being slightly more than two
and a half miles Since the compile
ton of this work south Lee street, as
far as the hospital, Taylor street,
Brown street, and parts of Church
and Barlow streets have been paved
with reinforced concrete The pro-
cess of paving was well done, and the
smooth, evenly laid streets are the
subject of most favorable comment
from visitors from all parts of the
country The demand is now for an
extension of the improvement.

plain that he is not satisfied with the
present system under whichSthe regis

for patriotic reasons to make such
claim. He said he was inclined to the
