You may not know of the surprising
assortment of poeketbooks kept at the
News Store. They have every shape
and style from the little change purse
to the lovely silk lined affairs with fit
tings. You should see them.
The summer silken gown is finding
itself beruffied in way we have not
seen in many years. A particularly
youthful model in ruffled skirt is
shown in black taffeta with the same
tight little narrow skirt women have
been wearing for some time. Tiny frills
of black net placed very close and
from the top to the bottom of the skirt
relieve the skimpiness and make the
whole very soft and light.
In these days of high prices the five
| dollar line of pumps and oxfords at
! Durham Bros, seems to me really re-
markable. Shoes have advanced in
price more than almost any other line
of wearing apparel, and when woman
can save on her shoe bill if is indeed
gratifying.

4.6 INCHES RAIN
FLOODS CHURCH
And HIGH SCHOOL

A total of 4.6 inches of rain fell in
81 hours from p. m. of Monday to
p III. OF Tuesday, according to the
official record of Joe NJ. Bryan, gov
ernment observer at this point. This
is one of the heaviest downpours in
that length of time ever recorded here
and resulted in all the streams in this
vicinity being flooded.
At times the rain fell in such great
volume that the street cutters and
storm sewers could not carry it Off
fast enough, and yards were overflow
ed and cellars flooded in some cases.
The easements of the First Baptist
church and the High school were each
filled with 8 to 4 feet of water this
morning, and the fire department was
called on to pump them out before
fires could be started in the furnaces.
Americus has had more than her
share of rain in the last five months,
according to Mr.. Bryan, the fall IN
that period having been about twice
the normal Up to five months ago,
however, there had been deficiency.
The normal annual rainfall for this
point is between 40 and so inches.

Ft. Worth Flyer to Attempt to Cross

Four Days
SOUTHERFIELD, Ga, February 20.

SOUTHERFIELD, Ga, February 26.
Some record sentimental
flights through here are planned for
the near future. Major Tom c. Nc
Cauley, of Ft. Worth, will use the
southern route and double the CONT
nent between San Diego. California,
and to Savannah, Ga, distance of
about 2,460 miles each way, via Ameri-
Gus, fitted with extra gasoline tanks,
stopping at fields en- route to change
planes. He hopes to average over l.
200 miles a day and double the CONT
nent in four days.
Americus will be on hand and give
Major McCauley a welcome when he
lands here twice on the tran-conti-
mental fights. He contemplates start
ing from Fort Worth, and make nom
stop fight to Souther Field, 1,109
miles; then change planes here and go
on to Savannah, Ia miles-all in one
day. Returning, he will pick up a new
plane again at Americus and continue
on to Fort Worth; thence to San Diego,
and return to Ft. Worth, where he is
stationed
Major McCauley, it will be remem-
bered, called at Souther Field en-
route Ft Worth to Florida a few weeks
ago and was missing severals days in
the Florida swamps, having been for
ced to make landing south of jack
sonville on his return flight. He also
met with mishap when he reached
Sumter county, his plane being wreck
ede in a forced landing near Americus.
This test and that of the Handley-
Page practically will establish Ameri-
Gus as stated in The Times-Recorder,
as an important relay change plane
station on the trans-continental route.
The visit of F. c. Sheriff., special rep
resentative of the Postmaster Gen
erals department, to Americus is an
other straw that tells which way the
wind is blowing
The Souther Field officers wish Sum
ter county and the city of Americas
would give them a good road between
the city and the field and then per-
feet conditions on ali lines would exist.
