Hot weather has come at last and
it is pretty hard on the poor school
child. This is the time of the year
when our parents have to almost push
us out of the front door and tell us to
go on to school. My, how tempting
Muckalee seems to us! It seems as if
we haven’t energy enough to hold up
our heads straight and try to figure out
what one and two is equal to. But
school closes week after next. It will
seem pretty hard to give up the old
Giammar school, but we’ll have the
satisfaction in knowing that some of
vs will be freshmen over at the High
school. We are going to leave the
Grammar school now, and start in the
High school fresh and new.
In our Domestic Science work this
week, I think Miss McKean had some
consideration for us on these hot days,
and so she let us make orange ice and
pineapple sherbert. We are going to
hand in our cook books Monday and if
they are neat we’ll get a good mark.
Domestic science is very interesting
and we will hate to give it up at the
end of the term.
Mr. Mathis gave a spelling test to
several of the grades last week. We
had fifty words that weren't so hard,
but they were rather “catchy.” He also
gave the High school the same test.
The two seventh grades are going to
have a spelling match sometime next
week and each grade is hoping their
class will win.
Last Monday the photographer that
is taking pictures in Americus came to
our school and took the pictures of our
May-pole dance that we did in the May
Festival. The girls didn't know he was
coming so didn’t any of us wear white
dresses. So Walter Calhoun carried
the girls that lived a long v ays in his
car. Some of the girls said their moth
ers had to take their dresses out of the
clothes basket. Thursday we went to
see our picture at the Opera House.
Almost all of us were real pleased with
our selves.
Next week will be the last week our
school news will be in the Times-Re
corder. The Grammar school wishes to
thank the Times-Recorder for letting
us put our news in their paper. We
appreciate it very much and thank the
Times-Recorder most heartily.
THE ALCAZAR
The Story.
It may sound like a queer title for a
photoplay, but if you like a story
well acted, well staged, and with pop
ular players, you will not fail to see
why and how “He Fell in Love With
His Wife.”
This production opens with a sit
uation that grips your interest and
holds it through to the finish. Many
and unexepcted complications arise,
but Florence Rockwell, as Alida
Armstrong, gives a portrayal of charm
and sw’eetness that will completely
win you. Forest Stanley, as James
Holcroft, is the same fine looking,
manly actor that has appeared in
other productions from the Pallas
studios.
The book has enjoyed such a large
sale that it is now one of the standard
works of English fiction.
“He Fell in Love With His Wife"
will be at the Alcazar Monday.

THE HIBHSGHODL
There is going to be a time, one of
these days when Teddy or the sil
iver-tongued Willum, Jenny becomes
president of these states, when every
body wil Ibe satisfied. If some fellow
had been brave enough, back yonder in
December, to have told a senior that
graduation time would bring its sor
row, the only result would have been
a walloping for the one who said re
grets would be in order. But when
graduation really comes, it does bring
its sorrows. It brought tears to many
of the seniors’ eyes, when they left
the Americus High school Friday.
When “God Be With You Till We Meet
Again” was played, then the thought
of leaving our Hi become foremost.
In the four years the class has been
iu the school it has learned to love
the Americus High school and to re
spect its traditions. They have learn
ed to love the faculty, who have al
ways been so patient in moments of
trial, and they have batled to defend
the colors of the institution —the
colors of White and Blue, which have
so often floated over triumphant
teams. But life is full of meetings
and it is also full of sorrows. The
gladness comes in the meeting, and
sadness must enter when the partings
are due.
This parting from our Alma Mater
is necessarily one of profound re
gret—regret because we fear there
have been times when the high ideals
of the school were forgotten, sad be
cause we love the name of Americus
Hi—and sad because we love those
teachers who have so often led us to
the light, when the gloom was so
thick.
The school and its surroundings
have made a tremendous impresion
upon our youthful minds —so fixed
have they become that, in later years,
when the race of life is nearly run,
when those who were members of the
Class of ’l6 are about to enter the
Gates of the Unknown, memory will
cause us to turn the pages of fancy
and dwell once more in those halcyon
days of ’l6, when the cares of life
were but promises' of that which was
in store. Then will we recall the
friendships, the schoolmates, and in
retrospect wil we picture those happy
days.
This Class of T 6 is the largest in
the history of the school, numbering
fifty-six. In this number are students
who have won the highest honors
within the province of school life. They
have seemed actuated in their efforts
by a deep love for their school, and
success has invariably followed. With
in the time this class has been in the
Americus High school, one state cham
pionship football team has been pro
duced, and numbered on its roll are
students who have won success in all
phases of school endeavor. The
champion declaimer of the Third Dis
trict is a member of the class—like
wise, the best pianist in the High
schools of this district, is a member of
the Class of ’l6. These and others
have made the Americus High school
the great institution it is. Throughout
the course they have striven to place
their beloved school on the highest
pedestal, and those who follow them
will strive to keep it there. Their ef
forts have always been directed toward
improving the school, and in thei.*
work they have given the public an
annual that will rank with the best
in the colleges of the South; they have
spread the fame of the Americus
schools to all corners of the state; and
they have given the students of the
school an example worthy any to fol
low. And through it al, never has
there entered selfish motives. Selfish
only in the fact that they deprived
other schools of honors, that they
might be added to the glory of the
Americus High school. So in parting
no better sentiment can be expressed
than that shown by Prof. Noyes in his
short address Friday in chapel: “May
the Class of 1916 prosper and find
rest in the arms of the Savior.”

COUNTY TREASURER
Notice is being given that a bill will

the general asesmbly with the local

Pfil'E OFSILVER IS
HI3HEST SIRCE 1893
Americus buyers of silver or
silver plated ware will be interest
ed in the statement that the price on
manufactured articles in silverware
have increased in the past few months
more than 15 per cent and Is still ad
vancing.
The increase in manufactured
articles, however, is not as great as
I that of silver itself as an increase of
I about 45 per cent is recorded since the
I first of the year. Almost since the
| beginning of the present European
I war silver has shown a most unpre
j cedented rise, and the present price of
. the metal was not dreamed of at the
i beginning of the year. On May 3, sil
i ver reached the highest price since
i 1.593 when the Indian mints shut
i down on the coinage of free silver, and
I the repeal of the Sherman purchasing
act by congress.
It is generally conceded that the
cause for the extensive rise in silver
is due to increased silver coinage and
. the withdrawal of kold from circula
jtion. There is little prospect ofr sil
; ver to drop back to its old price unless
, new fields are found and developed.
( Hence our Americus ladies need not
I be astonished when our local dealers
, quote them a higher price on silver
| articles than heretofore, blame it all
on the war not on them.
RECORD OF THE PAST
NO STRONGER EVIDENCE CAN BE
HAD IN AMERICUS.
Look well to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone b> is the best guarantee of fu
ture results. Anyone with a bad back;

i troubes, from kidney ills, should find
| comforting words in the following
statement.
W. W. Rigsby, policeman, 205
Prince St., Americus, says: “I suffer
ed a good deal from an calling back.
, The trouble was caused by my kidneys
being disordered. Two or three boxes
of Doan’s Kilney Pills relieved me of
these ailments.” (Statement given
March 2S, 1908.)
Again Praises Doan's.
AFTER A LAPSE OF MORE THAN
SIX YEARS, Mr. Rigsby said: “Doan’s
Kidney Pills certainly did me a great
deal of good. I am always glad to
recommend them to others suffering
from kidney complaint.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim

GREAT DEMONSTRATION
FOR MBEONESS
NEW YORK, May 12.—One hundred
and forty-five thousand men and wo
men marched here today in one of the
greatest processions ever assembled
for the promotion of preparedness for
war. The marchers formed twenty
abreast, filling the street from curb to
curb, the start being promptly at 9
o’clock, and the last of the sixty-four
divisions reached its disbanding point
at half-past ten o'clock tonight.
Many business houses closed during
the day to permit their employees to
participate in the monster demonstra
tion. Two hundred professions and
occupations were represented among
the marchers, who included prominent
lawyers, city officials, national guards
men, Spanish war veterans, and other
citizens.
Six thousand applications for per
misison to participate in the parade
were rejected by the managers, be
cause of the lack of space.
