EDITION WILL Be
GREATER THAN At
FIRST EXPECTED
HUNDREDS OF SPLSNDID Illus
TRATIONS WILL GRACE PAGES.
AND ISSUE WILL CONTAIN HIS
TORICAL DATA OF GREAT
VALUE TO ALL WHO ARE INTER

The success of the who's Who"
edition of The Times-RecoFder is as
sured, and the big edition will be by
far the largest and certainly the best
newspaper ever published here.
A feature of the issue not touched
upon heretofore is that it is being
compiled and printed wholly by Sum-
ter county people and every penny
taken in on the edition will be spent
in Sumter county and with Americus
and Sumter county merchants.
Nothing ever before attempted has
done half so much to boost Americus
and the county as will this edition of

of cuts and illustrations, including,
as these will, practically every hand

Splendid structures of fertile farm

pages they will be taken into fields
strewn with fresh-mown hay, the fra

our PROSPEROUS citizens live. through
the handsome Windsor hotel, a credit
to our city and a lasting monument to
the progress of the section; past thr
splendid scmool buildings where the
children of the city and county ar
being educated and into busines
buildings where the commercial spirit
of the community is born.
There will be pictured great herds
of magnificent cattle grazing over
fields made more fertile because of
their presence. and the deep-bored
wells pouring a wealth of liquid re
freshment upward for the use of man
will be shown in all the beauty Of
their surroundings The well-built,
sanitary stalls in which these cows
are MIXED will be illustrated and the
story of how this liquid food is first
cleansed of all impurities, and then
thoroughly pastuerized and refriger-
ated before being sold to the ultimate
consumers. will be told in manner
both pleasing and interesting.
In a word. the edition will be the
biggest and best newspaper ever pub
hshed with Americus as its theme,
and every interest here, as well as the
individuals who have contributed to
the community prosperity will be
pictured and their history told in full
detail
