ALLEND.AL3ERT
TO SPEAK HERE
AT CIVIC DINNER
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
Malcolm B. Jones, Of
Macon, Also Coming
For Address
Invitations were mailed last night
to representative men and women of
Sumter county' announcing a Civic
Dinner to be held in the dining room
of the Windsor hotel, Friday even
ing, February 20, at 8:15 o'clock, in
connection with the expansion and
re-organization campaign of the Am-
ericua and Sumter County Chamber
of Commerce. This is to be a big
event in connection with the' project.
A program of greut interest has
been arranged, for this occasion which
has been denominated “ the formal
opening of the campaign to provide
Americus and Sumter County with
sn efficient and widely representa
tive community organization."
Malcolm M. Jones, president of the
Macon Bar Association and reckoned
one of Georgia's most noted speakers,
and Allen D. Albert, of Chicago, will
be the out of town speakers. Mr.
Jones will talk upon the value of
community organization. 1
Mr. Albert is a former president of
International Rotary, a fact which in
dicates his ability as a speaker. He
is regarded as one of the most elo
quent and interesting speakers in the
country. He has made a wide study
of the development of cities and com
mercial organizations, and has de
lighted audiences in other countries
by his conception of the obligations
of citizenship.
It is announced in the invitation
that “ as seating capacity is limited,
and there will likely be a very large
attendance, the Committee has de
cided that reservations will be made
in order in which the requests are re
ceived at the headquarters of the
campaign on Jackson street.”
The committee in charge of the
dinner is composed of Mrs. S. H. Mo
Kee. 8. R. Hcyes, J. E. Hightower,
L. G. Council and Mrs. N. A. Roy.
Inadvertently it was announced
yesterday that the meeting of women
of Sumter county would be held in the
Carnegie Library auditorium this af
ternoon at 3 o'clock. The meeting
has been called for Wednesday after
noon, tomorrow, at the same time
and place.
Tonight's mass meeting in the Car
negie Library Auditorium at 7:30
o'clock promises to be unusually il
luminating and interesting. The

membership this morning. It came
S~“ « r - Pct I « r *■ Bahnsen, of the
fair lhanee harm and state veterin-
arian, to trank Lanier, general chair-
man ot the campaign. The letter ac
companying it was of great interest
I: read:
Mr. Frank Lanier,
i'res. Americus Chamber of Com
merce.
Americus, Ga. v
Dear Sir:
I .r cc ^‘Y‘: d y° ur circular letter
and the folder outlining a policy for
K^f 1 *** AMERICUS and a greater
SUMTER COUNTY. The idea and
the plan appealed to me—can’t
see how any citizen of AMERICUS
can be indifferent to such a plan,
and such policy—and I made my
first trip after sundown to the city,
except when going to the station
on business, for nearly six years.
The talk by Mr. Foster, I guess
that’s his name, had the right ring.
He is a pleasing, yet convincing
talker. While reciting his story of
Sharion, Pa., I wondered if he knew
how well this story applied to Am
ericus? It occurred to me that, in
stead of one. we, the citizens of
Americus and Sumter county,might
well afford to give a dinner in hon
or of half a dozen of our fellow
townsmen.
Such a list would be incomplete
if it didn’t present the names of
Arthur Rylander, L. G. Council,
and Frank Sheffield, the latter pai>
ticularly for the services he rend
ered to Sumter County in inaug
urating a system of good roads for
the county.
My official duties prevent me
from taking an active part in the
plan outlined but, since money is
essential to the success of this en
terprise, I embrace this opportun
ity to send my check for $25.00 for
one membership. If, in a limited
way, because of my continued ab
sence from home, I can be of addi
tional service to the organization
or to the community I will render
such services cheerfully.

I Bridges recently purchased the vacant
i lot south of the Baptist church here
j and is now converting it into a floral
j park. A landscape gardener has been
employed to design the arrangement
of the choicest plants that can be se-
I cured and when finished this will be
j one of the most attractive places in
: town. Dr. Bridges has extensive farm
ing interests and is deeply interested
| in plant life. His desire to beautify
j the town by the conversion of u va-
cant lot into a park, is deeply appre
ciated by all those interested in civic
improvement.
| Extensive improvements are'being
! made by Jordan and Jordan on the
: interior of their drug store; they
having purchased the latest designs
| in showcases, mirrors, etc., which are
j now being installed. When complet-
ed, it will be up-to-date in every re
spect. A new concrete sidewalk has
I also been added on the side of the
drug store.
Despite the Inclement weather. Flag
Day was appropriately observed hero
by the Sarah E. Hornady chapter, U.
D. C., last Thursday. Mrs. W. H.
Collins was chairman of the Flag Day
committee, and the success of the
days work was due to her untiring
efforts to dispose of the flags. Fif
teen dollars was realized from the
I sale of flags, which will be contrib-
. uted to the Helen Plane Memorial
fund, which is used in helping to ed
j ucate worthy girls.
