tensive preparations are being made
for the entertainment of the Florida
Short Route convention which meets
in this city July 80 to select a rout-

prospects of being one of the most

WHY THE COLUMN
is SHORTER THAN USUAL.

The rain the past several days has
interfered seriously in the social af-
fairs Of Americus, with the result that
few parties have been given and
dances have likewise been postponed.
But newspaper has to be printed
every day, and some sort of social
column must be prepared as part
of it.
The regular staff writer, who prob
ably knows better how to fill this
column on rainy days, is away, which
adds to the task of getting society
items together, and sometimes the
substitute is at her wits ends for
some method of filling the space in
terestingly. But the task of hunting
news has it's comical side as we'll as
its serious aspect, as happened this
morning when the writer called the
home of a well known Taylor street
woman to inquire concerning the
presence of visitors and the local
happenings of the community.
The cook answered the telephone,
and in clarion tones said ''hello." Be-
ing asked if her mistress was at home,
she replied she did not know, but
would ask, and then, without replac-
ing the receiver on the hook called
out:
"Miss --, Mrs wants
to know is you home" and back came
the reply of her mistress clearly over
the phone, while listened curiously:
"Tell her I'm not at h9me," and
then, "Miss --, yo' little boy wants
you to come here" Then the cook in
her sweetest tones said gently
through the phone:
Mrs. -, l reckon she's out in
the neighborhood somewhere, cause
amt find her"
The names are not given, and this
incident probably accounts for this
column being rather short today. But
let it be added that the ladies usually
are very accommodating in giving
news of their various neighborhoods
when they are asked over the phone
or otherwise.
