Americuh to Savannah.
The route through Montgomery,
Toombs and Tattnall counties for the
Dublin and Savannah highway as in
spected by the representatives of the
Dublin Board of Trade several weeks
ago was not adopted, the committee
having decided that the route via
Adrian, Swainsboro and Statesboro
was the shortest and most desirable.
Wes folk wanted this route had and we
would have given them better roads
than they will get, but fate was against
us. Another highway has been sug
gested, however, and it will be better
than the one we lost. The last named
highway is to he from Americus to Sa
vannah aed the counties all along the
proposed route are already at work to
make the roads presentable for the
scouting party that will soon make the
trip. A highway from Amercus to Sa
vannah will be popular for all South
west Georgia and if the two rivers are
bridged it will bring many people from
west Georgia and from Alabama also.
Telfair, Montgomery, Toombs and
Tattnall counties have all promised to
do their share on such a highway and
we heleive the other counties will fall
in line just as soon as the route is laid
out. A scout car with a good roads
committee, we hear, will start out
from Americus in the very near future
and the people all along the route will
be notified about when to look for
them. We are anxious for this route
and we want Lyons to do her share
when the time comes.
Superintendent Culpepper and Dep
uty Sheriff Andrew Collins went to
Savannah the other day and brought
back F. M. White a noted Chatham
county criminal, and a negro, both of
whom will be put to work on the roads
of Toombs county. White made one or
two unsuccessful attempts to break
out of the Chatham county jail and one
time he beat the jailer with a piece of
iron. He was shackled very heavily
when he arrived in Lyons and he says
that he is going to try to do better.
He was sentenced for life for a hineous
crime.
The demand for homes in Lyons is
larger than ever and we don’t see why
some of the land owners don’t build
cottages for sale or rent. A lot witli
a home built on it will sell twice as
quick as a vacant lot and it will usually
bring a better price. We have had a
half dozen people call at the office this
week asking for vacant houses and we
were sorry to inform them that we
have none in the city.
We need about twenty-five resi
dences in Lyons now to supply the de
mand tliat now exists and thirty or
forty would soon be filled up. Many
people are wanting to move to our lit
tle city but they can’t come because
they cant find any place to live. What
has become of the building club, any
way? This club was to do something
ever so fast hut we have not heard
from them yet.
The local chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy are making a stren
uous effort to erect in Lyons a monu
ment in honor of the dead veterans.
This monument will cost in the neigh
borhood of two thousand dollars and it
will he an ornament to the city. The
ladies should he encouraged in this un
dertaking and we certainly hope that
th>*y will be successful in their efforts.
Tol Parker is dni g some road work
with his small bai.u down in the Stan

get just about as much work out of a
man as the next fellow. Tol Parker is
a good man in the place and he is giv
ing the county good service.
