N. ADAMS
WRITES A CARD

Editor Times Recorder: In yes
terday's paper appeared a news item
denouncing a certain Lamar street
merchant for refusing the privilege of
posting Liberty bond stickers on his
window. This morning I am advised
that this article was intended for the
store of Mr. S. A. Daniels, the jeweler
AS Mr.. Daniels is now confined to his
room, seriously sick and his business
is in my charge, feel it my duty to
disabuse your mind and deny this
statement, if it was intended for his
store or place of business.
Speaking for both Mr. Daniels and
myself, we yield to no person in our
loyalty and patriotism OF our govern
ment. If the party who made You this
statement referred to this store or
myself, he misrepresented the facts to
you. Every word printed in this arti-
Gle is absolutely false and did not oc-
cur at our place of business as it is

FROST PREDICTED
FOR This COUNTY

The weather bureau announces fros'
is probable tonight at Americus.
And amateur gardeners should cover
up their tender plants. Vegetation is
apt to be nipped, and the loss viii. be
considerable, unless proper precau-
tions are taken.
Flowers will be killed, too, unless
tehy are projected. Ladies who have
transplanted their plants into the
open should cover them all with pro-
per materials.
Turnips and the more hardy plants
will hardly be affected, but the ten
der beanlet is apt to wave fond
farewell before morning, except the
protected ones.
The coal man will come back into
his own for brief spell at least.
while the season of the ice man is due
to slip its clutch for few days until
the snap passes, when the good old
summer time be expected to begin in
earnest again.

ENGAGE IN OTHER BUSINESS

Henry Christian, for nine years SUI
