Everybody’s doing some cabinet work just now, SO we’ll take a
sho® at it too. We nominate William Jennings Bryan for Secretary
of the Treasury and the Hon, Hoke Smith for Attorney-General, If
Woodrow Wilson takes our advice, he will have two members in his
cabinet to fit the jobs. :
The *“City Beautiful” movement has received is initial start by
Mavyor A. B. Cook taking personal charge of the Park on Main street
between Central Avenue and Pine street. Winter grass is being sow
ed and Bermuda planted. Flowers and shrubbery will be added as
the season advances, and by Spring this will be a fitting der.onstra
t'on of the spirit of the ‘“Greater Fitzgerald” The Woman’s Club,
through their civic committee, will also take a hand in this public
spirited movement.

President Taft issued his Thanksgiving Proclamation after the
election. November 28th is the day for all good Democrats to give
thanks for the overwhelming success of the party, and for the many
god things that are sure to follow in its wake. Mr. Taft is thankful
that he will not be called upon to take that custowary ride of the
President with his successor—with his friend, Teddy.
Mr. Roosevelt is thankful for the successful extermination of his
old pals. Ard the Democrats, bless their souls, they are just too
happy to bear malice against anybody, and will be the real sincere
thing in this Thanksgiving Celebration.
A Memorial To The Blue And Grey.
The suggestion of William B. Moore, of Fitzgerald, published elsewhere, that a
monument be erected in that city to the joint memory of union and confederate
soldiers, comes with peculiar appropriateness on the heels of the recent presidential
election, The results of that election established, llf they establisaed anything at
all, that the acriiony of sectionalism has been suried too deep for resurrection.
Nominally democratic, the victory was actually national.
It is also fitting that such a memorial should be erected in Fitzgerald. This
thriving city in the heart of Georgia was founded, several years ago, by a union
veteran. Since then northern settlers and Georgia natiyes have united in a fraternal
spirit exemplifying them as true Americans. And it was here that the naticnal
order of the “‘Blue and Gray"” saw the light of day.
The Constitution has just one amendment to offer to Mr, Moore's suggestion.
That is. that not only the people of Fitzgerald, but those of all Georgia contribute to
the projacted memorial. Launched in a year so freighted with historic meaning
and situated ideally from the standpoint of sentiment, the memorial would express
with a rare aud poetic blend the common patriotism that rules north and south to
tolay.---Atlanta Constitution.
A memorial such as proposed by the Blue and Grav Association
should receive the hearty support of all of our people. Rapidly the
former prejudices between the people of the Nortl and those of the
South are dissappearing and here in the close proximity of the place
where the last scene of the drama of the Confederacv was played in
the city built by veterans of the Union Army and the birthplace of
the Blue and Gray Association, should rise a monument to the spirit
of THE UNION OF TODAY.

Twins, Born Eleclion-
Day to Elector. Nam
ed Wilson and Mar
shall
Calhoun, Ga., Nov. 7—Colonel
Joe Lang, Democratic elector for
the Seventh Georgia district, is
the proud parent of twin boys.
And they were born on the same
day that Georgia Democrats
were flocking to the polls to send
Wilson and Marshall to the head
of the nation.
Colonel Lang is just as enthu
siastic a Wilson man as he Isa
proud parent, and it didn’t take
him ten seconds to decide, that
the boys should bear the same
name as the sucessful Democrat
ic tickets. They were christen
ed Wilson Lang and Marshal
Lang.
The only regret ofithe father
is that his county went for Roose
velt by one majority. i 1
“It wouldn’t happen if these
boys were 21 years older,”’ he
said.
A Naive Economist.
The not uncomwmon fallacy that
money 18 not wmerely the measnre o 1
value, but the only real value as weil,
is amusingly illustrated by this con
versation between two Vermont farm
ers:
“Who has got the bay horse you
drove last summer, Nid?”
*Nobody; he's dead.”
«What? He didn't die on your hands,
I hope?”
»Yes, he did, Bill, sure.”
“By George, that's too bad! He was
a good one.”
“Yes, he was, but 1 didn't care se
very much. He didn’t cost me noth
ing. 1 paid for him In work.”=—
Youth's Companion.
Ben Hill, Irwin and Wilcox
county Boys Corn Clubs will have
their products on display at the
Ben Hill Fair, which opens Nov.

The genuine apler oats

RECOMPENSE.
Every virtue which a man has
practiced by good works in this
world will bring a special cup of
recompense and offer it to the soul
that has entered into rest. Thus
purity of body and mind will bring
one cup, justice anather, which also
is to be said concerning truth, love,
gentleness, humility and the other
\‘riggas.—Albenus Magnus, 1205-
MAN'S LITTLENESS.
A very wise man once said that
when he began to feel too impor
tant he got a map of the universe
and tried to find himself on it.
