Improvements On McGarrah Street Near Central Crossing Progressing
The work on McGarrah street near the Central railroad crossing is moving rapidly and should wrap up next week. Farmers face losses from rains with fodder rotted and crops ruined, shifting reliance to peas and late corn for forage while a profitable fall looms for peas and potatoes.

Prospects for Americus foundry and machine works
Americus is seen as a ripe location for a well equipped foundry and machine works. Cook Brothers of Oglethorpe and another Georgia visitor explored Americus as a potential site, predicting it will attract such an enterprise. Locally, much repair work now goes elsewhere, and the area is deemed the best state location for this kind of industry.
