PAVING PARTY HAS
RETURNED FROM TRIP
Will Report to Council Results
of Inspection
The members of the street commit
tee of city council and the mayor, who
went recently to Atlanta on a trip of
inspection concerning pavements and
paving materials, and sewerage dis
posal. have returned. Every courtesy
was shown them while they were in
Atlanta, according to the report of
each member of the party represent
ing the city.
Captain R. M. Clayton, city engineer
jof Atlanta, was especially courteous
and attentive to the inquiries made by
the members of the party. In an au
tomobile, he took them on a tour of
inspection, which included the com
plete plant conducted by the city »f
Atlanta for the construction and re
pair of street paving. The new sew
erage disposal plant was also visited.
Captain Clayton entertained the party
at lunch at the Capital City Club.
Every kind of pavement that has
been on the streets of the city of At
lanta was examined, and reports con
cerning its durability, cost and gen
eral serviceableness were obtained.
This practical information should he
of the greatest value in aiding the
committee in making its report to
council.
Representatives of paving material
firms are literally thronging the city,
in view of the fact that Monday night
is the time for the opening of bids on
the contracts for city paving. Bitliu
lithic, wood block, vitrified brick and
other kinds of paving material firms
will be represented by bids and n
person Monday night.
ANOTHER PECAN NURSERY
MAY COME TO AMERIGUS
Large Corporation Seeks Land
Here
Lands for growing pecans are be
ing sought by investors whose atten
tion has been directed to the excel
lent opportunities afforded by Am?r
icus and vicinity in ths particular. Air.
jH. W. Smith wick, who was president
of the Georgia-Florida Pecan Grow
ers’ Association at the time of its re
cent convention in Americus has just
received an inquiry from a large cor
poration which wishes to invest in a
pecan tree nursery.
The practical results achieved by
the convention of pecan growers here
is shown by the fact that this inquiry
came as the result of a visit made to
Americus at the time of the holding
of the convention by a representative
of the firm mentioned. Mr. Smithwiek
has furnished the corporation with all
the aid he can give in directing them
toward the purchase of suitable lands.
If the new nursery is established, it
will add much to the prestige of 'Sum
ter county as a leader in pecan grow
ing in Georgia.
Mr. Smithwiek is still enthusiastic
! in his championing of the cause of se
curing the convention of the National
! Nut Growers’ Association next year
| for Americus. The next convention
' meets in Mobile in October, and it is
the plans of Mr. Smithwiek to secure
the co-operation of the Board of Trade
| and other public bodies to send a good
J representation to the meeting at Mo
j bile, so that the convention can be
j brought here next year.
MORE HEPFCL PUBLICITY
FOR AMERICUS AND SUMTER
Advertising Matter to He Dis
tributed Soon
Another advertising car, similar to
the one that Is now' being conducted
jin behalf of Americus and this sec
tion by Messrs. Rylander and Hooks
on their way from Providence, R, 1., \o
Americus, will be instituted soon
when Mr. R. S. Broadhurst begins his
trip by automobile to North Carolina.
As the territory to be traversed lies
within convenient distance of Ameri
cus, it is thought that the publicity
hus obtained will be of very great
, value. Circulars and folders similar
io the ones recently sent to Messrs.
Hooks and Rylander will be prepared
by the Board of Trade and turned
over to Mr. Broadhurst when he leaves
I Americus.
In this way, further helpful public
ity will be obtained for this section
at a very small cost, as the sole ex
pense occurred is for the issuance of
the folders that ard distributed en

of will prepare circulars for
the trip, which will begin in about a

UNCLE SAM TO IMPROVE
HIS PARK IN AMERICUS
The long delayed work of improv
ing and beautifying the grounds about
the new postoffice building here has
been started, and the surroundings
will soon be rendered much more <t
tractive in every way. A concrete
wall reaching from the street along
1 side the hotel across to Lee street
•is being constructed and marks the
north boundary line of the govern-
I ment property. The grounds, a lit
tle later in the season, will be broken
up and a fine Bermuda grass sod
planted there. Now that Uncle Sam
; is doing so much in improving his
j grounds here, it would seem that Miss
Americus w'ould follow suit and be
! gin the long delayed w'ork of improv
ing the City Hall Park, which is now
an eyesore of neglect instead of the
little beauty spot it once was in years
J agone.
