Railroad Commission of Georgia for Third Congressional District, U. S. Ceurt,
louthern District of Georgia.
’AMERICUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 29, 1915
Everything is ready for the big celebration on the Fifth. The Dixie
Highway celebration is going to eclipse anything ever attemptedby Amer
icus. Five thousand visitors will he our guests on that date, and we have
planned a royal entertainment fir them.
Americus mothers can’t help but wonder why the owners of dogs will
allow their pets to run the streets. First of all, it is a direct violation
of a city ordinance whicn prohibits it, and secondly it endangers the kiddies
of the city. The most harmless little pet w'hen bitten by a mad dog be
comes dangerous. Pen the dogs up. Don’t force the Americus mothers to
pen their kiddies up for fear they will be bitten.
The summer has just begun. Many hot days remain, but news dis
patches from Berlin tell us that the Kaiser has thousands of women busy
making warm clothing for the German soldiers to use in the winter cam
paign. Preparedness has been the keynote of the German success so far.
The Kaiser firmly believes that it will all be over but the shouting berore
fall, but he is not going to be caught napping in case his prophecy fails
to materialize.
Credit for lauding the new railroad from Byromville to Americus
must be given the new Americus Chamber of Commerce. The project had
practically been allowed to drop into oblivion when the local booster body
got busy and started things anew. The Chamber of Commerce will ac
complish much for the city if the citizens will only lend their encourage
ment.
The New Orleans States says: “It was an ill day for Georgia when it
was found necessary to call out its celebrated ‘goba pea’ militia to
protect the governor of the state from being attacked by a mob.”
Developments following the shooting of Robert Mueller, in London as
a German spy, establish the fact that he was once a resident of Boston,
where he was engaged in the rubber business. That’s what John Bull
killed him for, rubbering around on the streets of the English capital.
Having lost his right arm in a tight with Villa’s villians, the Fori
Worth (Texas) Star-Telegraph thinks that General Obregon will now bat
left handed in the Mexican bushwhackers’ league.
The Chicago News think that great efficiency is displayed by the man
who succeeds in filling a fountain pen without filling the adjacent scenery
with inkstains.
The “Silk Stocking Display” advertised by local merchants will no
doubt interest the women. But the sterner' sex is interested only in the
display on a windy day when the aforementioned stockings are well filled.
Political wiseacres suggest that friends of the Grapejuice King use
the pulmotor on their leader.
One can hardly help but take pleasure in the announcement that the
new secretary of state. Bob Lansing, has not yet been approached by the
Chautauqua managers.
There are produced in the United States fifty-seven useful minerals. Os
these every one is mined in the South except platinum and borax.
Elbert Hubbard went down with the Lusitania, but his writings will
long be treasured after the Lusitania is erased from memory. One of the
best things he ever wrote was: “What a superb thing it would be if we
were all Big enough in mind to feel no Slights, accept no Insults, cher
ish no Jealousies, and admit into our hearts no Hatred.”
Cold feet is a detestable malady which can be had by anyone, at any
season of the year, and on even the hottest day, if they haven't the grit,
the determination and the will power to stand up for their rights and do
their duty.
As gloomy as the outlook may appear, we are willing to take one
chrnce at predicting that the European war will be over before there is
peace in Mexico. —Greenwood (S. C.) Journal.
In Augusta they ask applicants for position in the Are department
how much corn a horse should be fed each day. In most fire departments
it is the more important to know how much to score when one holds four
