First National Bank Fitzgerald, Georgia Capital and Surplus, $200,000.00 Patterson and Morris Interesting Characlers Atlanta, Sept. s.—The pictur esque character and reputation of the two djstingflished gentlemen for the judgship of the Blue Ridge circuit before the meeting of the state executive committee here yesterday, made the session an unusually interesting one. Judge H. L. Patterson, of Cum minos, looked after the details of his fight in person. Judge Pat terson, whose nickname, used ohly by his intimate fridfidls of course, is ‘‘Snacks,”” looks like a character taken out of one of Dickens’ novels. His life has been spent in his home section, Forsythe county, and among peo ple who have known his family for generations, he finally won the title of judge as a tribute to his sterling qualifications. ~ Judge ‘‘Newt’’ Morris, his op onent, is better known through out the staie. Jadge Livavis cumes of real fighting stock. In fact, so far ac it comports with judie ial dignity, Judge Morris has been domething of a fighter himself.

The ex hibit consists of ' splendid speci mens of all agricultural products raiced in South Georgia.. ' Several enterprising Mianesota people have moved to the South Georgia country recently as a re sult of the A., B. & A. Railroad’s publicity eampaign, and one of these gentleman is endeavoring to induce others in his State to come to South .Georgia. This gentleman is with the exhibit, assisting every way possible. In addition to exploiting the agricultural resources of the South Georgia country, the In dustrial Department of the A.,8. & A. Raiiroad propuses. to spec ialize on the livestock industry. As an evidence of what can be accomplished in this direction, a hog farm has been established two and one-half miles southwest of Douglas, Ga., where Durcc Jersey hogs are being raised most successfully. Exhibits of this splendid herd of hogs will be placed at the Alabama State Fair, Birmingham, and the Georgia State Fair at Macon. There is no redson why the en tire South Georgia section should not be made a splencid livestock country. In fact, one county— Brooks—is an excellent example of what can be accomplished along this line, as that county not only raises enough meat for home consumption, but sells to adjoining counties as well. : Deputy Grand Master William MecCormick instituted an Odd Fel lows lodge with thirty memibers last Saturday at Bay Springs; and next Friday will institute a lodge at Pleasant Grove. : Miss Maggie Mul’s many friends will be interested to know that she has been appointed to.a clerk’s position in the Pension De partment of the Government in Washington, D.
