JOHN SHEFFIELD
AND HAWKINS ON
TWO CITY BOARDS'
Two new members of city boards I
were elected at the regular meeting
of the city council last night to fill
vacancies caused by the Recent resig
nation of E. C. Parker. To fill the un
expired term, .John Sheffield was
■chosen a member of the board of edu
cation and C. C. Hawkins was elected
to the board of health. Both elections
were unanimous, and theirs were the
only names considered.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Pro Tern. Mashburn, in the ab
sence of Mayor Sheppard, who was in
Atlanta on business before the Court
of Appeals. It was Mr. Mashburn':
first appearance in the mayor's chair.
The finance committee, through
■Chairman Poole, reported on the ap
plication of the Americus Lighting
Company for a reduction in its water
rate and in its last quarterly bill, de
clining the request. The report was
accented by the council. The com
pany, which is now on the same rate
paying 15c per 1,000 gallons, asked
for no definite cut, merely suggesting,
because of the company’s recent ac
ceptance of the city’s terms in fur
nishing power for the pumping plant,
that a special rate would be justifi
able.
Hilliard Williams appeared in per
son with a petition, signed by several
property owners in that vicinity, ask
ing for the installation of a street
light at Bell street and Harrold
avenue.
A petition, signed by a large num
her of residents in the district affect. !
ed. was read by Clerk Eldridge ask I
ing for the installation of a fire alarm '
box at Brown and Taylor streets. The
request was referred to the fire com-1
mittee, after Aiderman Poole had j
•stated on the floor that the possibili
ties of granting the request were 1
small because of the necessity involv- !
ed of bringing a Gamewell expert
here for making the installation.
■I. J. Bull,a prominent lawyer of,
Oplethorpe, was transacting legal
business in Americus today.
A flue burning out at the home of;
Emma Abrams, colored, in Quince
Alley, shortly before noon caused a
run by the fire department. The danir
age was insignificant, the fire being
extinguished with a bucket of water.

SUPERINTENDENT
RESIGNS FROM
PLAINS SCHOOLS
PLAINS, April 18.—T. J. Barrett.
Superintendent of the Plains school
I Board of Trustees.
Mr. Barrett has held his present
! position for the past five years, having
come here from Richland. He is an
efficient educator and has served the
public faithfully as head of the school.
, His work has been greatly apprecite
-1 ed by his students, who have given
him their affection and confidence.
| Mr. Barrett has not stated where he
i will be located for the coming year,
■ but the good wishes of many friends
I and admirers will follow him where-
ever he may be.
I There will be no graduating exer-
I cises this year since there has been
i added an extra course of study to tiie
eleventh grade next year. This will
probably necessitate the employment
of an extra teacher, for the coming
i year, in order to meet college re
, quirements. So far the Board of
i Trustees have not had their election.
| It is not known which members of the
j present faculty will apply for re
; election.
i Since the Christmas holidays the
I school has been in session on Satur
days until 12 o’clock, in order to make
up the time lost on account of the
I influenza epidemic, now, however, an
extra hour will be taught each day
; and tiie Saturday session will be dis
i pensed with'. This change has been
! made by the request of a number of
patrons.
EXIRA ran
FROM SHUES
“A year ago I had my shoes re
soled with Neolin Soles. The soles
are still in service, and it looks as if
I would not be able to wear them out,
because the uppers are going first,”
said W. C. Dickinson, of New Haven,
Conn.
Good repair shops everywhere carry
these tough and durable soles. See
for yourself how long they last by
having them put on a pair of old shoes.
Or if you are in need of new shoes, buy
them with Neolin Soles. They cost
no more than shoes that give loss
wear, and you need fewer pairs. They
come in many styles for men, women,
and children.
Neolin Soles are created by Science

‘Bro. Allison’ Got
the Coin in Roswell
The Methodist preacher is famous
for his ability to get money out of his
congregation, but here is a recital of
the way it is done out in the sparsely
settled state of New Mexico, the
preacher in this instance being Rev.
S. E .Allison, a brother of R. E. Alli
son, of Americus. The following is
reprinted from the Roswell, N. M.,
Daily Record:
"Yesterday was certainly a Red Let
church .South. Rev. S. E.’Allison had
announced several Sundays before that
March 9 would be Missionary Day
and that a free will silver offering
would be taken, that no names would
be given out, no subscription asked,
just a plain, old-fashioned, Bible
free-will offering, according as God
had prospered and blessed them.
I tome asked Mr. Allison what it would
' take to satisfy him. He answer
A full Armory and a Thousand Dol
lars For Missions would make me the
happiest man in Roswell.’ The Sun
day school classes, the choir, the mis
sionary society, all got busy and.made
their estimates for each department of
the church and planned to go ‘over
the top,’ which they surely did. A
long line of cars were parked in
front of the Armory for a long time
| eiore Sunday school opened and they
kept coming and coming, until all
seats were filled then; it was just
like an old-fashioned revival, a regu
lar love feast. God was right in
their midst. Every one from children
to parents were jingling their silver
coins and writing checks to convert
into silver sheckels; it was not a
squeeze onto your money while
longer, but every one anxious to give
I to their fullest, and rejoiced for the
: privilege of giving unto the Lord.
| When the count was made and the
j pastor announced that the sum of
$925,00 had been given through the
Sunday school, choir and missionary
i society, a great cheer arose from the
j many happy throats and a glance into
i their many faces told why they had
| given so glady to missions Parents
that had their boys safe, women that
had their husbands, and husbands
their wives ofter our terrible epi
demic of influenza; surely God had
teen and Christ’s love was there with

its healing balm for all. When the I
service opened for church again the
Armory was filled and when the pas
tor lifted the large pan containing
almost one thousand dollars in silver
coin, there was hardly a dry eye in
the great congregation. Again in the
morning service the free will offer
ing was taken an draore than SIOO.OO
was given, thus making the grand
total about $1,005.00. ‘The Lord lov

is not the happiest man in Roswell, he

KIDNEyjOOBIE
Take a glass of Salts if your Baek
hurts or Bladder bothers—Meat
forms uric acid.
If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body’s urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
■ take a tablespoonful in a glass of
i water before breakfast for a few days
I and your kidneys will then act fine. This
I famous salts is made from the acid of
I grapes and lemon juice, combined with
i lithia, and has been used for generations
I to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
; also to neutralize the acids in urine,
i so it no longer irritates, thus ending
| bladder weakness.
I Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
!ure, and makes a delightful effervescent
ithia-water driuk. ■
