Der 16, 1917
Dad weather this week has inter-
fered with county road work,
but the work will be resumed with
an augmented force of convicts af-
ter holidays.
The six banks in Americas and the
three county banks of Sumter coun-
ty published recently their statements
under the call from the state and ma
tional banking departments. The re-
port shows these banks all to be in
splendid condition, with the various
departments handled in a thorough
ly satisfactory manner.
Mr. W. P. Finch, whose friends
claimed for him the distinction of be-
ing the Oldest resident of Sumter
county, passed away at noon yester-
day at his residence in the country
west of Americas. Mr.. Finch was in
his 9th year, and is survived by
number of descendants The funeral
services were conducted this morning
at II O'Clock, with interment at Proyi-
dence church cemetery
A new street will be opened short
ly leading from Fielder street to the
Agricultural college which will be one
Of the prettiest residence districts of
Americas, the land for this street hav-
ing been decided for this purpose by
DR.. j. M. Wilkes when the Agricul-
rural college was first established
here.
}. B. James, of Graceville, Fla, was
IN Americas yesterday prospecting,
and so we'll pleased with business con-
dltlons was he that he has determined
to locate here. He has leased the
former Times-Recorder building on
Forsyth street, and will engage in
the mercantile business.
Miss Kate Bronson returned yes

visit of several days to friends in
Americas.
