INCREASED SUPPLY.
THE CITY HAS CLOSED THE CON
TRACT,
And • New Pump WIU Be Put lu nt the
Station Which Will Have a Serving
Capacity of I,.VN),ooo Oallone of Water
Per Dey.
The city has closed the contract with
the famous II. R. Worthington pump
concern of N'ewr York, and in about two
months will have in place one of their
new compound pumping machines
which will develop a service capacity of
1,500,000 gallons of wator per day, or a
capacity fifty per cent, greater than that
of both the machines now in use. One
of I he present pumps now in the station
will be removed to make room for the
new machine, and will probably be con
nected with the < three neep wells upon
the station property and will be able to
furnish an additional half million gal
lons, making a total altogether of 2,500,-
400 gallons of daily water supply .
Americas is a rapidly growing city
and this improvement will come none
too soon, ns during the past summer
there was barely a sufficiency of water
for public needs and anything in tlio way
of a conflagaration might have assumed
serious proportions, as the available
supply of water would soon have been
oxhausted. But fortunatoly this did
not occur.
Amerlcus is marvolously free from
serious (ires, and although our (ire do-
department is perhaps as good as any
volunteer organization of the kind in
the state, every possible guard and pro
vision should be made against the occur
rence of a serious blaze. A system of
electric alarms should be placed through
out the city. This Is very important, as
a few minutes loss of time in locating
and reaching a Are has occasioned the
the burning of many mil
lion dollars worth of property which
otherwise could have been saved.
Cities like Amerlcus enjoying a re
markable lnfrequeney of disastrous Ares
have before now been thereby lulled in
to fancied security and been obliged to
stand helpless and witness the consum
ing of business blocks and residences,
when by taking proper precantlons all
might have been saved. Then whon the
horse is gone they think about locking
the stable door.
Fires, as a usual thing, don’t giro any
warning as to the periods of their visita
tion, but are liable to occur at any time
and after gaining muoh headway are dif-
Acult to get under control even by the
best of department facilities.
A good electric alarm system is of as
muoh Importance as the engines and
trucks and Amerlcus should have one.

"Sweets to the Sweet."
Mark Twain, in ono of Ilfs inimitable
works, says: “You may boast of pretty
statuary, lovely paintings, beautiful see
nery and other things too numerous to
meution which are pleasing to the eye,
but the prottiest thing on God’s green
eartli is a pretty woman," and he might
well have added that the sweetest article
on this footstool is a sweet girl.
Most girls are sweet and all girls love
candy. Most every girl has an abiding
knowledge that at least one manly young
hoart beats for her alone, and the ownor
of this manly heart always wishes to
demonstrate his adoration by sending to
his bright particular star somo little of
fering which he thinks she will appre
ciate, and to all these Dr. W. C. Russell,
at the Pharmacy, can offer something
peculiarly catchy in the way of lino con-
feotions. Realizing the need of novelty
In this line ho has secured the sole agen
cy for Amerlcus in handling the unex
celled goods sent out by Nunnally, the
Atlanta confectioner, and an Inspection
will convince the buyer that they are in
every way equal to Huyler’s with the
advantage of a certainty of being fresh,
as Dr. Russell rocoives a new consign
ment every week.
