FITZGERALD, BEN HILI, COUNTY, GEORGIA, JULY 19, 1912,
Work On Fair Buildings
Will Begin In Near Future
President Martin is on the Job, and is
Planning Everything on Big Scale.
Notwithstanding the fact that he is right 1n the race for Repre
sentative from this county, Hon. D. L. Martin, president of the Fair
Association, is none the less arduous in his efforts toward getting
ready for the 1912 Fair,
He informes us that practically all the material for the construction
of the fair buildings has been purchased, the grounds have been sur
veyed and profile made; and that grading of the race track and the
construction of the buildings will begin in a few days. These matters
have been receiving Mr. Martin’s almost undivided attention, and
just as soon as the actual work begins, it will be rushed to completion,
One glance at the plans and specifications is sufficient to convince
one that the grounds and buildings will be amply sufficient to meet
every requirement in point of convenience. KEverything is being
planned on a large enough scale to accommodate the great fairs we
expect to have in years to come. :
The main building is to be a commodious structure, 175 feet long
and 40 feet of its width and 150 length will be two stories high, with
a grand stand the entire length, seating capacity 800 to 1,000 people,
on one side; and a 20 foot verandah the eéatire length on the other
side,
The arrangements of this building couldn’t be improved upon,
and it will doubtless prove useful not only for Fair purposes but for
other occasions as well.
The dimensions of the stock barn'will be 35x300 feet and will be
sufficiently large to furnish convenient and comfortable accommodaticn
to a large number of stock, hogs and cattle, The poultry quarters
will be located in the large main pbuilding and have been planned along
very idealistic lines,
' President Martin states that Irwin and Wilcox counties will be
with us at the 1912 Fair with County as well as individual exhibits,
and it is up to Ben Hill to secure the grand prize, So let’s begin now
the work of preparation. The premiums will be ample and valuable
and the honor very much to be desired.
Show your appreciation of Mr. Martin’s efforts by giving him
your co-operation. :
The Romeda Club will meet with
Mrs. Geo. Gray this afternoon. j

“I BELIEVE THE POLICY OF THE BANK TO BE
CONSERVATIVE AND ALL THAT IS
. NECESSARY TO SUCCESS”
The regular annual audit of the Third National
Bank was held several weeks ago, and Mr. J. K.
McDonald, who has had fifteen years experience
as a National Bank Examiner, closed his report
with the above comment. Courteous treatment,
absolute security, and the policy referred to has
made this bank -a safe bank, a popular bank and a
paying bank. It is a bank for all the people. One
policy—one service.
The Lights Will
‘Be Turned On.
The streets of the paved districts
of the city will be flooded with a
stream of light Saturday night
when the White Way is to be
christened. Work along this line
has been prograssing at a lively
pace during the past week, and
the Mayor announces that every
thing will be in readiness by to
morrow night to ‘‘turn on the
hghts.” Posts have been erected
at each corner, at the intersection
of the street with the alley and at
the intermediate points between
the alleys and the streets, andtoday
electricians are busy adjusting the
globes,
The turning on of the lights will
indeed be a gala event, the band
will play, and the indications are
that the strects will be just as
crowded as on a big circus day.
Don’t fail* to be up-town and see
the streets of Fitzgerald brighter
than they have ever been before
at night.

A Pesple’s Bank
Courteous treatment, absolute se
curity and a policy that is broad and”
seund has made The Third' Nationad"
‘Bank one of the most popular bank
ing institutions of this section. This
bank has over one hundred stock
holders and nearly two thousand
depositors, and its success is due
largely to the fact that many of the
bank’s customers are those who
opened accounts five years ago and
have remained with the bank month
after month and year after year.
This bank has never missed a
dividend, having paid out EiGHTEEN
Trousanp Dorrars. It is a bank for
all the people and maintains a policy
which insures its continued growth.
