Gasoline consumers awoke today to
a cruel realization that the price had
advanced two cents a gallon over

MILLION FOR FLOOD VICTIMS RELIEF RUSHED
Toy Balloon Wins Promise Of
Americus Girl to Wed; Now
Swain Wonders About His $17

Remember the story published in
this paper a few months ago of a
New Orleans man sending up a toy
balloon with his name attached to it
and of its falling at Moultrie, Ca,
the next day? That story brought
about a romance between the sender
of the balloon and an Americus girl
which romance has come to mys-
terious stop, and the services of the
Times Recorder and chief of police
have been drafted by the lonely swain
to assist him in untangling the situa-
ton.
The mans name is Donald Gibson
Reeves, of 1905 Tulane avenue, New
Orleans. The name of the young
lady about whom he enquiries he en-
closes, but it is withheld from the
public for the present, at least.
According to the man, of several
girls who wrote to him following the
finding of his balloon the letter of
the Americus girl most appealed to
him and a real romance developed, as
a result of which she promised to wed
him on April ID, his birthday. In
order to save two railroad fares, he
agreed to send her SIT for her fare
to New Orleans, he says, which he
did on April 10, she receipting for
the money here, but failing to arrive
there as arranged, or send any COM
munication whatsoever. Now ne
wonders what has become of her
has he been "bunked' or is she for
chilly detained? According to her
letters, he says, she has told him
heretofore of i'll treatment by men,
bers of her family, and he suspects
the money he sent her has been taken
away from her or that she Is being
imprisoned at home. At any rate,
Reeves is very much up in the air and
he wants enlightenment and balm for
