Vote For Wilson. |
There ca2n be no question as to the duty of the Demo
crats 1n the November election. Every voter, who par
ticipated in the presidential primaries is in duty bound
to vote for the nominnee of the party. Mr. Wilson’s
record entitles you to support him, the democratic plat
form demands your support and the fact that the demo
cratic platform is the only one of the party platforms
whose execution will make for a lower tariff and a con
sequent reduction in the living expenses of the people,
should receive the support of all voters, who realize the
necessity of a reductien in the price of the necessaries of
life. The chances for democratic success at the polls are
the brightest in years and the character and reputation
of Mr. Wilson are assurances that the promises made by
the party will be fulfilled if the President can influence
the ultimate action of the party’s representatives in
Congress. The denocratic committees in the country
districts have a duty to perform that they must not shirk.
The Party looks t o you to see that the voters go to the
polls on Nov. Ssth. Make it your business to see your
neighbors and urge them to vote, their neglect might
entail a heavy expense on the State for an extra session
of the Legislature, as the law requires a majority over
all in Georgia. Every Democrat is interested and every
taxpayer has a pecuniary interest in avoiding an extra
session, Of course the Legislature is democratic, but
why invite this extra expense, when a little effort will
forestail THAT EXTRA cost to the state.

President Martin of the- Ben Hill County Fair is busy day and
night planing and arranging for the big County Fair. Mr. Mar
tin informs_us that he has procured a number of fine attractions
for the Midway and that our Machinery exhibit will equal the State
Fair’s. The International Harvester Co., Deering and other manu
facturers of farm implements will have a complete exhibit of their
latest improved implements at the Fair. Competent demonstrators
will show the uses and adaptabilities of these labor saving devises.
Wilcox and Irwin countigs are making special preparations for fine
county exhibits and a number of their crack farmers - have applied
for space for individual exhibits. The premium lists will be ready
for distribution by next week. Fine prizes are offered for various
farm products, stock and poultry and a live compatition may be
looked forward too. The Fair Association}will hold a special meet
ing thisafternoon for the purpose of sel:c'inz spzacial committees
and to further the interest of the Fair. ¢
Will You Help To Build THE CITY?
Mr. Business man and property owner do you realize that a city
that is finished has reached its limit. Have you made up your mind
that your town is as big as she can be and has your own business ex
panded to its full possibilities? If yon still want to grow you must
like the farmer, everlastingly keep on cultivating the field of your ac
tivities. Individuaily you can get what’s coming to you around Home,
but it takes the co-operation of the entire business element to fully
develop the business opportunities that this territory offers to the
enterprising people of Fitzgerald, and it’s up to you to do your part.
Factories with payrolls, and additional trade from this splendid
territory within a radius of 50 miles around us can be bad through a
concerted effort, We know that our Merchants carry larger and
more complete lines of Standard Merchanaise of all descriptions than
do any of the neighboring towns aud we believe that a thorough cam
paign of Publicity ‘“‘thorough and on the level” will convince the
most skeptical, a possible customer, that it will be to his interest to
make Fitzgerald his trading point, to make Fitzgerald the commercial
center of this Territory. More than 100,000 people that have to buy
merchandise daily, live in the territory logiecally ours, it is up to us to
get sheir attention fixed on Fitzgerald. |
