Its destinies in material things, should have their ambitions awakened to prepare themselves to assume the po sitions of leaders in the vast move- menu that are just ahead. In this ■connection he appealed to the boys of the High School to determine to~be somebodies, not to be mere onlookers, to use the r talents, through the culti vation or their brain and physical powers, so that to them and to thelt •children would come the rich .heritage ■of ownership and domination. The Sonthfs vast possibilities had hardly been touched. It was Impossible to restrain the world from developing them, and if the Southern boys did not rise to the level of their oppor-, tunit cs those who would come In •from somewhere else would take- the reins and reap the harvest.

Sold by all New York, April 2. —Suffering from what is believed to be leprosy In its advanced stage, a woman, cuddling an S-monthg-oid baby to her breast, to day was found by Dr. Tra.sk, of Belle vue Hospital, in a squalid east side, structure that fairly swarmed with I enty m " es of the finest highways In Americus now and Americus four years ago, the same city and yet not the same. No city in all South Georgia, no small city in all this section of the country, has seen a more remarkable development In many directions than Americus has seen during the past four years. It is only by considering tbe things that Americus now has th"* It did not have four years ago that can really get the proper perspective on the progress It has made, can really ap- precia e the great forward strides it has taken, can be really brought to realize that Americus in many ways is a different city in 1910 from what it was in 190G. Americus people are already accus tomed to having so many things that are but a few years old that it is dif ficult for them to remember when they did not have them. These things have fitted into their daily live3 tc such an extent that it is hard to re call that but a short time ago they were unknown*- here, were merely dreams, things that were hoped for. In the past four years they have become realities and welded inextricably intc the daily life of the community. Here are some of the things Amer- icus has at the close of the spring of 1910 that it did not have four years ago. The showing is a re markable one, it is really astonishing it puts* the quietus on the grouch to read It, it tends to make ono and all optimistic to recall that these things have been accomplished in so short a time, an d to believe that they a'o but the harbingers of even great er things to come In tho next four years. Four years ago none of these things were In Americus: Agricultuiai College. Young Men's Christian Assoc’atlon. New Postoffice Building. New High School Building. Country Club. Here are six great institutions that have added to the appearance of the city materially, that have promoted the business or social Interests of the community. But these are not all. Four years ago there was but one au'omobile in Americus, "Maude.” Today there are over a hundred au tomobiles owned ln Americus and enjoyed day after day by Its citizens. Four years ago the Widnsor hotel was almost a wreck inside, deterior ating daily, anything but an honor or*credit to the city. v Today, in the hands of a strong owner, between $50,000 and $60,090 is he ng expended In its general ren ovation and Improvement.

He Was Operated on Under Anesthetic GS Years Ago. Gainesville, Ga., April 23.—Rev. Jas. Venable, better known in Jackson county and in Gainesville, ln which place he had lived for twenty-five years, as “Captain Venable,” died at his home here last week and was bu ried—simple services being sa d at his grave and his funeral occurring at the First Methodist church of this city—he being a member of ttlat church for many years, and a local preacher of that denonunat’on for many years. It ls significant that his death should have occurred just a few days before the unveiling of a monument to Dr. Crawford W. Long at Jeffer son—for it Js stated that Capt Ven able was the first patient upon whom Dr. Long operated successfully em ploying ether as an anaesthetic—the operation making the basis of the claims which are now recognized ovsr the world of Dr. Long as the discov erer of general anaesthesia. Captain Venable was considerably more than eighty years of age at the time of Lis death.
