THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDhR. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13. 1907.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
On September 1st, we expect to move to
our New Home on Lamar street. We ask our
friends to be a little lenient with us until then,
when we will be in position to show the most
superb line of
Dry Goods and
Ladies Ready-
to-Wear
ever shown in this section.
We will have to establish ourselves more or
less in the new place, and propose to do this
with
“Prices.”
We think this the most forcible way, and
it is certainly the best for you.
We earnestly solicit a call from you and
will prove this assertion to your utter satisfac
tion! Remember the place, Half Way Be
tween the Old Davenport Corner and Oliver’s
Warehouse.
Look for The Sign On Up

fered In consequence. Farmers had
little doing here.
It was a game of “freeze” that could
not last long.
It is the opinion that exporters,
having filled pressing orders for Im
mediate shipment abroad, are going
the cotton, but they were not operat
ing a free gift distribution.
When the spinners and exporters
find out that such tactics do not work
they will pay the price.
SCHOOLS WILLBE CROWDED
Already the 500 Mark in Enrollment of Pupils is
Passed.
With S12 pupils already enrolled at
Furlow School, and this a whole week
before the session opens, everything
points to a record breaking attend
ance when the doors are opened next
Monday, as many others will reglste-
thls week.
In fact, the buildings will be taxed
beyond their capacity. 1
There Is room for only 680 pupils
In the white schools, Furlow and
Rees Park, and already It is clearly
evident that the number applying to
register will exceed that figure.
At the spring session this year 725
white pupils applied for admission,
but for lack of room in the schools
many of These were turned away,
would seem,, from present Indications,
that the turning away process, will
have to be repeated soon.
At the colored schools less than 300
pupils have yet registered, but this
number will Increase to the usual fig
ure, about 600.
The Board of Education has decld
ed to put Prof. Ralph Newton, recent
ly elected to the chair of history and
science, In the place of Prof. Duncan
resigned, as principal of' Furlow
School, electing some other to Prof.
Newton's position.
The city schools will open for the
session on Monday, 16th.
POSTAL 0PENSJN AMERICUS
hat Office. Like the Western Union is Now Ready
for Business.
The Postal Telegraph Co. opened
Its offlee In Americus again yesterday
and after a lapse of several weeks, as
the result of the telegraphers strike,
Is again ready to handle all business
tendered by the public. The oOUm
here will be under the management of
Mr. W. G. Hart, an experienced oper
ator of many years service with the
company. The Postal offlee has re
cently been entirely overhauled, and
is now in excellent Condition for ex
pediting business. With both the
Postal and Western Union offices open
again for business, as Is now the
case, "the recent unfortunate situation
here, resulting from the strike, Is
ended and, so far as Americus is con
cerned, the strike Is ancient history.
And this seems the condition now
quite generally over the atate.
