The Easterlin peaches were grown

first year's experience with a City
Manager will show saving of ap-
prorimately $17,000 after paying

This is according to n report for
the first four months of the year ns
submitted .by City Manager Har*
grett to the city commissioner;; this
week. It was explained thnt. the
figures had been gone over by an
export accountant and verified.
The expenditures for the differ

first four months of 1921 ns com
pared with the first four months of
of 1920 were as follows:
Waterworks department — Janu
ary 1 to May 1, 1921, $4,096.65. Ap

closed Wednesday evening. As was
expected, the Presbyterial voted to
divide on the lines followed last
year by the Presbytery, the divisions
now to be knowm as the Macon and
the Southwest Presbytcrlais. Tho
old organization was known as the
[Macon Presbyterial. Americus re

Unless the city pays the Americus Lighting t-cmpaitfbby May 20 itt hllffcj
for street lighting for the first four months this year, tho street lighting
service will be cut off. Manager W. E. Rogers; of the lighting company, has
formally notified Mayor Sheppard and the city council. Thl* amount JgjL
the? o bills, the rate for which sen-ice was recently fixed by the Gcorg4$|
Railroad commission, is .raid to total in excess of $2,000.
Thnt such an ultimatum had been issued to the city first became^
known publicly Wednesday .night at the regular weekly dinner of tM
Lions club at which a communication addressed to President Dan Chappell
accompanied by a copy of the letter to the mayor and council, was read*!
This letter requested that the letter to the city officials be f-ead for ifcfS

Both bodies elected new officers,

It became known Thursday thnt
other copies had been mailed to
President J. E. Hightower, of the
Rotary Clul/; President Lewis Ellis,
of the Kiwanis Club and President
R. E. Allison, of the Chamber of
Commerce, all asking that the fetter
to the city officials be rend before
those bodies. The Rotury Club held
its regular luncheon at 1 o'clock this
afternoon, but the letter was not
read by President Hightower. The
Kiwanis Club will meet Friday at
noon.
Embodied in the letter to the
,mayor and council were the state
ments that if the lighting bill was
not paid by May 20 it would be nec
essary to sue on tho account as well
as cut off the service, that on April

amount includes practically the en
