PEOPLE ALARMED AT CONDITIONS.
Encouraging Canvass Made and
All Want Artesian Well
and Sanitary Conditions
So great has become the demand for
better water and more sanitary con
ditions in our town, that some have
consented to donate to a fund to have
an ar.esian well bored. The necessary
amount can easily be raised, and the
fact that such steps have not hereto-|
fore been taken, is puzzling to some. |
The well is a necessity and no time
should be lost in engaging the services
of a competent contractor and 'butting
him to work, The public well, owned
by the railroad, should be condemned!
and filled in or put in a more sanitary
condition. The water from this well is
not generally used, but strangers com- |
ing to town find it convenient and use
the water, and for this reason alone it
should be filled in. The filth of the‘
town soak into it, anc the hogs wallow
around it. The hog wallows can be
found in other parts of the town, which
must come in for its portion of criti
cism. The authoritiec will neglect
these things until it is too late.
Each week the name and amount of
each donor to the fund will be published
until a sufficient sam has been raised
to insure the boring of am artesian
well in the town of Alamo. Now is the
time to take hold. The list is open and
you can subscribe any amount yon may |
feel disposed. You know how much[
you \-gant the well. A committee will;
be appointed to manage the cam-'
paign. (
Several have signified their intention
to subscribe to the fund, while the |

The Result of
.
| An Eastern Trip.
| The Wheeler County Shoe Store is
| the center of attraction these days—
! most especially since the arrival of the
| big shipment of shoes th2t Mr, Hurwitz
' bought on his trip to the eastern mark
fets. The shoes have been opened up,
iund it is only expressing it mildly to
{say that it is an object not seen in
| Alamo cefore. All available space
lfrom the floor to the ceilisg is filled
with nothing but shoes and hosiery.
Almozt any make and style shoe that
can be called for can be found. They
are neatly displayed and shw off to a
great advantage. Mr. Hurwitz has
put forth his best efforts to have a
shoe store that the town and county
might feel proud of and his friends all
say that he has accomplished what he
‘set out to do. Before making your
next purchase, be sure and call around
to see his line, even though you do not
buy—He will be pleased to show you
{ through. He 18 one of our most con
genial rnd energetic merchants and
you wiil never regret the time spent
looking through his large stock of
shoes. The place is just around the
bank—the old stand. —at.
ALAMO, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1913
Wiceler Farmer |
Sells First Cotton.
‘ e 1
‘ Mr. H. L. McLendon, of the Spring
Hill district, was the first man to bring
a bale of cotton to the Alamo market
this season. The cotton was brought
in on Tuesday afternoon, but was not
ginned untii Wednesday, when it was
hauled up town and placed before the
door of the Wheeler County Bank, and
the hour of two o’clock in the after
noon named to auction it off to the
highest bidder. Quite a erowd gather
ed around the cotton and Chief Lowery
auctioned it off. The bidders were
slow at first, but life was injected into
jhe occasion when & bid of |3 cents
per pound was offered, and was knocked
off to C. W. Lancaster, cashier of the
Wheeler County Bank and G. M.Elkins,
manager of the Union Warehouse.
The Wheeler County Bank had offered
$5.00 in 'gold for the first bale of this
season’s cotton marketed here and Mr.
‘ McLendon received this. Mr. S. 1.
Bullard, who had offered to gin the first
bale free, furnishing the bagging ande
ties free, contributed this to Mr. Mec-
Lendon’s bank account, all told, caus
ling the first bale to net quite a nice
little sum,
The five dollars that the bank gave
him, he had placed on deposit, in the
Wheeler County Bank, to the credit of
his son, Russell, to remain until he be
comes twenty-one years old, he only
being four years old now. Mr. McLen
don intends adding to Ihis amount from
time to time. Mr., McLendon ig one of
Wheeler’s most energetic farmers and
has about thirty seres in cotton, which
! he stated he intends to market in Ala
mo, He appreciated the kindness
’extended him by the bank and also by |
‘Mr. Bullard, andit will also be ap
preciated by others— It encourages the
farmers. ;
Also on the heels of the firet bale of
cotton Mr. J. C. Wilkes of the Erick
neighborhood, rolled in with a bale of
the fleccy staple and had: it ginned in
time to put it on the market just he
‘hind the first bale, and he received 13
cents for his cotton. He is also one of
the good farmers in Wheeler county,
and it was the prizes offered by the
bank and Mr. Bullard that he was:
working for and came 8o near getting.
Both of them expressed themselves
as being well pleased and will again
try for the first bale next season.
