ANSLE Y. : Forty thousand dollars worth of j negotiable bank notes and valuable I papers, together with three books be- I longing to the Bank of Kllavilie, and I which disappeared most mysteriously . a year and a half ago. were found | Thursday, hidden In the old courthouse at Kllavilie. I And the (lading of the lost valuables 1 naturally caused greatest interest !n the little town, as well as in Americus, when the story was phoned here at 4 ! o'clock. For the long lost property was own- I ed by the Bank of South Western I Georgia; tile parent bank of the Eila- I vllle institution. | The valuable find was made by Co! Charles R. McCrory and Mr. James • Robinson in the boxing, or casing, of the old courthouse, though search had been made for them there before, ! well as In the bank building and in other places, j The long lost notes were In the little satchel which former Cashier Walters carried frequently in trips to Americus and elsewhere. : * All Notes Are Intact. Tho entire amount of the notes, It is understood, are there Intact, and as good as gold. Assistant Cashier Philo Smith, of the Bank of South Western Georgia, went over at once upon learn ing of the find and brought the lot ol notes and books to Americus last night. And thus closes the final mystery in connection with their loss. More than $25,000 of the lost notes had already been collected long since by the bank, the books of the Ellavllle branch establishing the record. And with the recovery of the lost notes tho remaining $15,000 will be collected without difliculty. Many of the customers of the Ella vllle bank paid their indebtedness without hesitation, and there will be | no trouble in collecting the remainder of the notes, yet unpaid. j Mystery of Lost Securities. | In August, 1908, Cashier Walters, the Ellavllle Bank, took his life while i here in Americus upon a business 1 trip. Investigation of the bank's af fairs next day disclosed the missing I notes and books. For weeks the search for them was carried on, but they I were never located. ' The records of the bank, however, saved the lnstituion from any consid erable loss and its business went uninterruptedly, many notes being paid, as stated. The fact that Cashier Walters fre quented the old courthouse, unused for that purpose, led to a search there for the papers. On the second floor is a billiard table, where lovers of the game oftlmes play. Mr. Walters went there for that purpose. He may have carried the notes there and, ina moment of mental abberatloa forgot the fact. Then, someone else may have hidden them In the old building.

As stated, more than $25,000 of the notes have already been collected by the bank, which in August, 1908, offer ed a reward of $500 for the return of alt notes and books. $100 Reward, $100. Everything is down at work at the Agricultural School and the school ,'s moving on as if there had been no la termission for the holidays. It Is estimated that 98 per cent of the pupils who attended during the fall term are back again for the spring term work. Possibly not more than ten per cent of the pupils return ed to school after the first term that the school was in operation. Since that time great Improvements have been made all along the line. The students now at the school are the kind that'como to stay. A large number of new students are now at the school. Though all the girls have been moved to the GirlB 1 Home, every place has been taken in the boys’ dormitory. No others can be admitted in the dormitory till a va cancy may occur. Quite a number of names are already on file, but It is not known whether they will wait for a vacancy to occur or attend sqme other school. Interest has been manifested in the school all over the state and tho South. It has been the purpose of the management to make the school move than local and as broad as the country, but it now seems that some restric tion will have to be put upon the pat ronage, or that tho state will have to come to the relief and provide facili ties for a more extensive operation of the work. While a few more girls can he ad mitted at the Girls’ Home, the former Simmons residence, It Is expected that within a week that the same condi tions will prevail there as at the boys’ dormitory. Girls are now at the school that have attended some of the other schools of tho kind in the state, while inquiries are coming from ail sections. Every department of the work at the school has been well organized. One new feature will be the establish ing of the poultry yards at the Girls' Home on Felder street. This depart ment, hereafter, will bo operated ex clusively by the girls. The military feature of the school has grown to such proportions that further equipment must be provide]. It has been decided to dispense with the old army rifles now being used and to provide a moro up-to-date gun This will be done at an early date. The cadets are now organizing a mill' tary band and will soon be ready to appear In public on state and other occasions. There Is a great future ahead for the school. Americus and Sumter have cause to be proud of this school that, like her roads. Is giving the city and the county a state-wide reputation. LINIMENT FOR EXTERNAL USE.
