AN INNOVATION
FOR THE LADIES
Delightful Deparlment For Their
Comfort and Convenience at
Mr. Ansley’s.
An other evidence of the progres
sive spirit of the merchants of Amer
icus, and their determination to pro
vide their patrons with not only the
largAt and finest stocks possible,
but surroundings in keeping with the
goods, is found at the store of Mr.
Charles L. Ansley, on Jackson street,
where one of the swellest depart
ments in Georgia has been fitted up
for the many lady customers of the
house
Realizing the growth of the ladies’
ready-to-wear business and being
always on the alert to have every
thing in a condition not only satisfac
tory hut pleasing to his friends, Mr.
Ansley has just equipped on the first
floor of his large establishment a
perfect gem of a room for the sale of
ladies’ garments.
In the past these garments have
been placed on the second floor. It
has been objectionable to many to
climb the stairs to reach this de
partment. This trouble is now gone.
In the rear of the store, is found a
large department, with a parlor-like
effect, where every convenience is
afforded ladies for the trying on of
garments. The stock is elaborate
and calculated to suit the most fasti
dious. Selected with the utmost ca**?
it represents not only the best in
workmanship and material but the
very latest styles.
Ladies’ tailor made suits, skirts,
petticoats in silk and cotton, shirt
waists, etc., are to be found here
in the greatest quantities. Prices
have been made reasonable and it is
expected that this innovation will
prove a most popular feature of
Mr. Ansley’s store.

VACANCIES fILLED TEMPORARILY
I
The Resignation of Several Teachers
in the Americus Schools and In
creased Attendance Cause
of the Trouble,
J The first week of the fall session of
/the Americus public schools ended
yesterday with tha largest attendance
there ever known/ Every room in all
the grades is filled to the doors, and
many others will apply for admission
during next week.
Just what will be done with the
“surplus” is a problem. Supt. Miller
has not yet solved.
The problem is rendered more
complicated by the resignation of
three of the teachers recently, and
some difficulty has been experienced
in getting others to fill the vacancies.
Prof. Duncan first resigned to ac
cept a better position in Columbus,
and Prof. Newton was advanced to
the position of principal in Mr. Dun
can’s place. Prof. Rex McKellar is
now teaching in the position vacated
by Prof. Newton.
The Board of Education hopes to
be able to retain Prof. McKellar per
manently, as he is a very capable
teacher.
Miss Jenie Holis and Miss Clara
Hail, two highly competent teachers,
declined re-election to the faculty
for this term. Miss Hall goes to
Florida soon to accept a very desir
able and lucrative position as teach
er, to the regret of her friends here.
Mrs. W. D. Moreland and Mrs. J.
E. Hightower, both very capable in
structors, are aiding the schools by
filling positions temporarily.

LADIES READY-TO-WEAR
DEPARTMENT
Just Opened.
It is with pleasure that we announce the removal of
our Ladies Ready-to-Wear department to the first floor
of our store. For years this has been one of the largest
and most successful ladies departments in all south Geor
gia but there were a great many people who' were unable
to go to the second floor on which we conducted it to
see the stock, hence we have just equipped the most
magnificent department in this entire portion of the state
on the first floor which is delightfully arranged in every
particular for the comfort of ladies and then we have
supplied it with the mt>st immense stock of finest ladies
tailor-made suits, skirts, petticoats, raincoats, children’s
wraps of all kinds, and everything else that is necessary
for the conduct of a.first class department and we most
cordailly invite the patronage of every one assuring you
that in doing your trading with us you will not only
find the largest and best stock from which to make your
selections but the lowest prices to be had in Georgia.
A large corps of competent and polite salespeople
will take pleasure in giving you every attention.
Chas. L. Ansley,
Successor to WHEATLEY & ANSLEY.

CLOSING OUT
On account of the lamented death of our late Manager, (J. W. C. Horne,)
and the desire of his family to convert their interest into cash, we are
compelled to close out this business.
, This is no advertising scheme, but a plain statement of a plain fact..
Os course to sell the stock out quickly we know we will have to make a
great sacrifice, and we have decided to give our customers who have enabled
us to maintain the business, the benefit of the same, so if you want
the goods at any fair discount they are yours.
Most of our goods are worth more now than they cost at the factory pr
could be bought at first hands, but we are going to cut everything, as we
must get rid of the goods and close up the business. We invite country
merchants and others to get our prices, as we believe they can replenish
their stocks cheaper than any where else.
We invite all, assuring them of fair and courteous treatment and the
cheapest goods ever bought in this market.
Sale Begins Wednesday, Sept. 25th,
and continues until stock is sold out.

COMPANY IS STILL IN
NEED OF FUNDS
Light Infantry is Sore Pressed
At Present.
With an indebtedness of nearly
S2OO resting upon it, and current ex
penses to be met as well, the Light
Infantry is in need of financial as
sistance. This mere announcement
should be sufficient to insure the im
mediate forthcoming of the amount
required, and it is to be hoped the
soldier boys will we assisted out of
their financial burden. Every dol
lar of expense of maintenance falls
upon the men, who not only perform
arduous service gratis but pay th:
state, city and county for the privi
lege. The company will offer for sale
shortly a limited number of jury
exemptions and by this means may
secure some relief. These exemp
tions insure to the holder exemption
of jury duty for one year, and as the
session of the courts here will come
at the hight of the busy season, busi
ness men who cannot well serve upon
the jury should procure them, and at
the same time assist the company.
FLICKERING LAMPS
ILLUMINE OFFICE
Seaboard Offices Up Against It
Still.

Since the Seaboard divisional head
quarters were removed to Americus
from Savananh the officials and em
ployes there have worked at night
by flickering oil lamps in lieu of
electric lights. These more modern
appliances wil be installed later, and
the primitive oil torches discarded.
It is said that a delayed shipment of
wire is responsible for the delay of
a month in getting better lights in
stalled, and when the wire finally ar
rives the lights will be turned on in
the offices.
