RECORD SHfflT
Hundred and Sixty-Five Cars of
Cotton Pass Through Ameri
cus from Columbia, S. C.
A record movement of flat cot
ton embracing 169 cars has just
been completed by the Seaboard
Air Line railroad, it became known
here to6ay, the entire shipment
having been handled over the
Ala. division through Americas.
Railroad men who participated in
this huge movement say every bale
of the cotton was delivered to
Seaboard connections at Montgom
ery at least two hours ahead of
the zero hour in its schedule. The
cotton moved from Montgomery via
the Western of Alabama to Selma;
Southern railway to Meridian, and
New Orleans and Northeastern to
destination. The shipment origi
nated at Columbuia, S. C., and was
for storage at New Orleans, not
being designed for export at this
time.
Movement of the cotton from
Americus was facilitated through
recent reduction of the grade under
the Lee street bridge, where the
tracks have been lowered two feet.
This permits the heavy “Bohunk
us,”-Russian type locomotives to be
operated west of Americus. Here
tofore it has been impossible to use
these huge engines west of tie
Lee street because of their height,
but in handling the cotton move
ment referred to above, one of
these engines /loved fifty cars from
Americus to Montgomery, good
time being made over the entire
route, even with this heavy ton
nage.

Hints for
Vacation
One Place Where You
Can Always Get Cool
No heat! no dust! There’s an air
of romance at the beach.
That’s why the beaches grow ever
more popular with vacationists and
week-enders. After trying motor
ing, mountain golf restorts and long
trips north, most folks find that the
safest bet, after all, is the nearest
seaside city, with good beaches and
a good hotel.
Jacksonville is gay today. The
historic old city is drawing more
and more visitors every summer.
Tfc" Aragon Hotel, right in the
center of things, with its cool, spa
cious veranda, is a’delightful head
quarters from which to visit the
sights of the town or the perfect
beaches nearby.
Motoring, boating, golfing, fish
ing, bathing or sight-seeing —a
different program every day, if you
wish— and for evening pleasures,
the theaters, dancing, or the cases.
It's a combination hard to beat,
no matter how far you might travel,
quickly reached and, by compari
son, very inexpensive.

Lutheran Church Sunday morning]
at eleven o’clock. The public is
especially invited. ,

« THURSDAY AFTERNOON,JULY 24. 1924
Plains Methodist
Circuit
Our readers are asked to keep in
mind that the revival at Flew 1 oint
begins on the first Sunday after
noon in August, with Rev. L. A.
Harrell doing the preaching.
Regular preaching services will
be held at Plains next Sunday and
Sunday night, the pastor being in
charge". The sacrament of the
Lord’s Supper will be administereo
at the morning hour.
The quarterly meeting at Con
cord last Saturday was a fin e oc
casion. The crowd was immense,
the preaching was greac, the din
ner was characteristic of Concord’s
good people and the reports were
excellent. Owing to the illness of
Dr. Lovett, the presiding elder,
Rev. J. M. Outler of Americus, did
the preaching, his sermon being a
strong appeal for trus; in God.
Concord’s report on finances was
th e best on the charge, the others
being good. The next quarterly
meeting goes to Plains.
The revival, which has been in
progress at Concord this week, will
come to a close with Friday night’s
services. The attendance has been
i good at every service and much in
terest otherwise has been manifest
, ed. Rev. Infinger, w’ho is doing
■ the preaching, is a man of con
[ siderable preaching ability and in
, terests his congregations from be
ginning to end. He preaches with
■ enthusiasm and power and many
have responded to his anneal for a
> renewed spiritual life. Up to this
writing no opportunity has been
given for church membership. The
■ ladies are holding prayer service!
each night in the church before the
services and the ifien in the school
building near by. These have been
well attended and much good is be
ing done by them. Two services
have been held sos shut-ins in the
community, which were greatly en
joyed by those attending, as well
as by the shut-ins.
PARLOR FOR MAIDS
OHAMA, Neb., July 24—A
special “maid’s parlor” has solved
the servant problem for Dr. Jennie
Callfas, who is prominent in na
tional politics. Dr. Callfas’ home
in Omaha contains a small parlor
that is her maid’s own when her
young man comes calling. Dr. Call
fas has lost several maids in this
way by marriage, but has kept
many others for years at a time.

shot one of his patients.
