NEXT THURSDNY
ALL TOWNS IN THIS SECTION TO
BE REPRESENTED HERE.
Americus is going to hold a record
crowd of south Georgia motorists next
Thursday, 15th, who are coming to
meet here the Georgia commissioners,
Messrs. W. T. Anderson and Clark
Howell, to whom is referred the selec
tion of the “Hoosier-to-Dixie” high
way—Chicago to Miami. It will be a
royal bunch of boosters, these motor
ists, who will pull to bring the proposed
highway in this direction, south from
Macon to Thomasville, via Americus.

SEVERELY SIMPLE SUIT.
Suit of white gabardine for spring
wear. The effect is quite tailored, the
skirt being plain and short and the
jacket belted and of hip length. The
patch pockets are finished with cres
cent shaped flaps, and the collar and
cuffs are of white uncut velvet.
I
ron, Pelham and Thomasville, all
towns along the Andersonville-Thom
asville Highway, while other towns ;n
I
this section will be represented as,
well.
Messrs. Howell and Anderson will
probably come down by automobile,
and will be met at the frontier by j
Americus boosters of unquestioned ca- ]
pacity. The party w*ill come first to j
the Hotel Windsor, and later repair to
the city hall auditorium, where the
public meeting presided over by Mayor j
L. G. Council, will be held and the
matter of locating the highway dis
cussed.
Americus people and, in fact, peo
ple of this entire section, feel very
confident that the highway to be adopt
ed will come via Ft. Valley, Monte
zama, Andersonville, Americus, Smith
vine and Albany, on to Thomasville
and into Florida. It is the logical
route —a route already completed and j
In daily use for several years—a well
seasoned roadway traversed by thous
ands of cars and other vehicles going
north or south. |
The availability of this route to
gether with the many attractive sea- J
tures studding the way; the great
peach orchards, pecan groves, melon j
and canteloupe farms, the fine hotels
en route, the attractive cities and towns
to say nothing of historic old Ander
sonville, will appeal’ to visitors from
the north as would no other route
through Georgia.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
COMMITTEE WILL
ASSEMBLE AGAIN
FHIIAYJVEIING
HOMES WANTED FOR DELEGATES
TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION.
The entertainment committee, charg
ed with the duty of providing homes
for the 1,000 or 1,200 delegates and
visitors who will attend the State Sun
day school convention here, beginning
on 21st inst., met yesterday, and were
very much disappointed at results at
tained thus far. Homes for only 400
visitors have been tendered thus far,
and the committee is in a dilemma to
know how to proceed. Citizens must
rally to the rescue and lend a helping
hand.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held Friday afternoon at 3
o’clock for further discussion of the
problem on hand. The committee
makes the following official report of
its work to date.
The committee appointed to canvass
for hom'es for delegates to the Sunday
school convention which meets here on
the 20th, 21st and 22d, have reported
and have secured homes for about four
hundred visitors.
On canvassing their report we find
that quite a number of people are not
reported as taking delegates at all.
This committee desires to impress up
on the good people of Americus the
necessity of opening: up their homes to
the delegates' to this convention. There
were eight hundred in attendance at
this convention in Milledgeville, Ga.,
last year, and the interest in this work
is increasing, and we are > easonably
sure that we will have at this conven
tion not less than 800 people. Thev
are coming and the question is, what
will we do with them?
There is no way of entertaining these
visitors except in the homes of our
people, and we feel sure that when
those who have not signified their will
ingness to entertain_any of these dele
gates consider this matter from the
i viewpoint of the necessity of Americus
'making good on this proposition, as
they always do, that they will open
their homes to these visitors; and the
| committee appeals to every one of you
|to give this question serious consid
jeration and do what you feel is your
duty, and then advise the ladies that
called upon you of the number that
you will take, or advise some member
of this committee.
We wish to ask that you not only
agree to take some of the delegates
but make some sacrifice and inconven
ience yourself, if need be, to provide
homes for these visitors.
To those who have already taken del
egates, if it is possible for you to in
crease your number please advise this
committee. We wish again to urge
upon you the absolute necessity of ev
ery one in our city opening up their
hearts and their homes for tne enter
tainment of these visitors.

LONDON. April 8. —The cabinet hav

drink question, no settlement is now
expected until parliament meets next

that the government will content it
self with a measure prohibiting the
sale of spirits.

4 ceed to clean up both their residence and business premises, by raking 4

4- gather up all the old clothing and articles whlcji would otherwise be 4
4 thrown away, and send them to the ladies who have this 'work in ♦
4 charge. '
4 The yards, houses and business traces should be given a careful 4
4 and thorough inspection and put in an absolutely sanitary condition; r
4 the trash raked up and due notice given to the trash carts. I call up- ♦
4 on every person within the city limits of Americus to carefully ob- ♦
4 serve this "Clean-up-proclamation,” and as far as possible, remove all 4
4 causes of disease from our midst, In order that we may approach the 4
4 summer in a safe and sanitary condition. *•
4 l also ask'the people to refrain from throwing into the streets any 4
