16 GRADUATES
ON TO COLLEGE
Ga. Tech to Get S Boys
and G.. N. & |. c. S
Girls

Sixteen graduates of Americus
| High School in the class of 30 have
signified their intention of attending
college this fall, eight of these being
girls and eight of them boys. Col
Ieges at which they will matriculate
are Shorter, at Rome; Georgia Nor
man and Industrial, at Milledgeville;
Agnes Scott, at Decatur; Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, at Auburn |;
Georgia Tech, at Atlanta, and Geor-
gia University. The names of the
students who have notified Prof. C.
M. Hale, principal of the High school
of their intention to attend college,
and the institution they propose to
attend, are as follows: Miss Mary FL
ma Poole, Miss Alice Sevens, Miss Is
Rome; Miss Clara Dean, Miss Eliza
beth Dedman, Miss Bernice Near
thur, Miss Sarah Westbrook, and Miss
Lula Howard, Georgia Normal and
Industrial College, Milledgeville /;
0ttie Prather Johnson, Al
ALBANIA Polytechnic Institute, Auburn,
Ala; Hertwell Barton, Roy Bivins,
Stephen P. Bond, George Gardner and
J. W. Smith, Georgia Tech, Atlanta /;
John Butt, Georgia University, Ath-
ems.
The list shows that Georgia Tech
and G. N. & l. c. are the most popu-
lar colleges.
In former years Wesleyan college
at Macon, has claimed majority of
the girl graduates of Americas High
who have pursued higher studies, al
though the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial College has always been a
favorite here, and some speculation
will be caused by the announcement
that not one member of the class this
year has indicated intention of ma
circulating at that famous Georgia
Methodist college.

Tax Citations Co Now
By Registered Mail

A departure from previous custom
lnaugurated by the Board of County
Tax Equalizers this year is the send
ing by registered mail of summons to
taxpayers whose assessments have
been changed. This course was adopt
ed in order to reduce the cost of serv-
ing these citations to the taxpayers,
and it is believed the plan will prove
acceptable to all. Heretofore these
summons have been served by the
sheriff or one of his deputies, which
made the cost considerably greater

But I do think it is perfectly fascinat-

into the air seven miles and fell down
five miles and made safe landing through
the working of his subconscious mind
That certainly, is a brand new chapter in
human adventure and every woman who
has an ounce Of Imagination ought to give
the event as much attention as she would
give to a movie scenario.
Long ago mother Borimer stimulated
me to taking what she termed "a speak

prohibition Is with us, mother insists
that wives have a long neglected duty
facing them.
Man is an amiable creature who ex-
poets to be amused, according to her
theory, and who is kindly while he is
amused, and grateful to the entertainer
He will gladly stay where life is gay
but when he is bored he simply gets up
and goes where things are not so dull
Often he leaves home simply because
some woman, wife or mother is not on to
her big Job as an entertainer.
Just because women fought so strenu-
ously for prohibition and used a vast
reservoir of energy in the battle, mother
thinks they ought now to put some of
