CLASS HONOR IS GIVEN
OUT IN HIGH SGHOOL
The class houors in Furlow High
School were anounced yesterday, and
the suspense of months duration
among the six fair graduates of the
class of 1908 was thus relieved. And
while there was dissapolntment for
some; there was happiness for others.
The first honor goes th Miss Marie
Walker, the second to Miss Hazel
Christopher, and the third to Miss
Nellie Niles.
The marking between Miss Walker
and Miss Christopher was very close
indeed, It was stated. ,
Miss Marie Walker, who thus wins
the honor of class valedictorian, has
scored a remarkably tine class rec
ord, ,and worthily she will wear the
coveted honor.
Since her admission to the high
school four years ago Miss Walker
has not lost a day in attendance, nor
has she ever received a tardy or de
portment mark. During the four long
years of study her average has al
ways been above 90; a splendid rec
ord Indeed.
Each member of the class, It was
said made an enviable record. The
school will close about June 14th,
with the usual graduating exercises.

COTTON SUTTERS
SERIOUS DAMA6E
That the.new crop has suffered ser
ious damage In this section of Geor
gia by reason of the cold winds pre
vailing for the past two weeks, is the
opinion of cotton growers.
"I must decide between now and
Monday whether I will replant or
plow up and start over again,” said
Mr. M. B. Council a large planter
yesterday. 'T don't know whether to
stop the plows and replant with hoes
or to do the whole Job over. All the
sandy fields are in practically the
same fix.
“This Is the worst I ever saw In
early May. And even plowing up
the fields and planting anew will be
difficult, for there is a great scarcity
of seed. Most of the farmers only
saved enough to plant the one time.
One man said to me yesterday that he
wanted to plant his whole crop over,
but did not have the seed nor did he
know Where he could get a supply.
“While the full extent of the dam
age done to the vitality .of the plant
cannot be told for a week, It is cer
tain to be large. Even for those
who plant new, and can get the seed,
it will mean a crop three weeks late.
“I was over in Marlon county a
few day's ago. Two-thirds of the
crop there will be planted again. The
stand has been ruined by the cold
winds.
“The weather looks good for more
cold winds, and thl s will stunt the
cotton which was large enough to
resist the cold. Sand will be blown
into the young plant and its value
much deteriorated."

Served a Superb Dinner
In the auditorium of the city hall
the ladies of Americus Chapter, Or
der of the Eastern Star, had prepar
ed a sumptuous dinner,, the tempting
viands being spread upon four tab
les seating three hundred guests. It
was indeed a feast royal and enjoyed
to the fullest extent.
The first course of substantiate
was followed with Ices and cakes,
temptingly served by charming mat
rons and young girls.
The usual after dinner speeches
marked this festal occasion. Mr. H.
E. Allen presided as toastmaster, and
the several post-prandial addresses
made up a feast of eloquence as en
joyable as was the more substantial
one preceding.
Rarely has a like occasion In Am
ericus proven so enjoyable withal as
did this one.
