Howe’s Great Shows
May Winter In Fitzgerald
Manager G. D. Smith, of the
Howe Shows during their stay
here, has made a thorough in
vestigation of local conditions,
and is so well impressed with
the cily and environmentthat he
will probably establish winter
quarters for his shows here.
Twenty acres of land are needed
to properly house the big show,
and a number of permanent build
ings will have to be built to care
for the aggregation. A com
missary building to house about
fifty people, large stables for the
animals, carsheds for the equip
ment, and shops to build and re
pair the outfit, as is the cuStom
with suchshows during the win
ter.season. lemporary arrange
ments for this season have been
made at Montgomery, Ala. Ne
gotiation for permanent location
will be taken up with Commer
cial Club. President Martin has
already interviewed Manager
Smith, and will present the
proposition to the club at its next
meeting.
500 Lbs. Pecans Off
Of Twou Trees,
D. U. McLean, near Wray, has
gathered 500 Ibs. of nuts off of
two trees. The trees are 19
years old, and were planted for
ornaments. The investment is
no doubt satisfactory, as the
price of pecans is 40 cents per
pound. There iSan unlimited fu
ture to the pecan industry, and
isolated cases like this are proof
of value of the nut industry as
an investment.
Mutt and Jeff Play
Here Next Tuesday.
The announcement that Mutt
& Jeff, Bud Fisher’s original
creation, will show here next
week at the Grand Opera House,
has been received by theatre
goers with the pleasantest anti
cipations and the indications are
that it will draw the largest
crowd that has ever turned out
to a play in the new opera house.
Mutt & Jeff, of course, needs no
introduction, because even the
little tots in knee trousers, and
kilts know them when they see
their pictures in the newspapers
and bill boards. The show has
received splendid press comment
in the South Georgia cities they
have made this season, and it is
said to be an up-to-date attrac
tion. With sixteen pretty cho
rus girls, and artisctic scenery,
it will prove the sensation of the
season in the theater line.
Tickets are now on sale at
Adams, and they are selling fast.
Get yours while there are some
good ones left.

Were you at either of the big
Worlds Fairs? Do you remember
the fascinations and charm of the
Midway or Pikef ,
Then visit the Tri County Fair
Midway with the frmous Muss
B o h rs Greater Shows attractiuns
and you will tind much the same
thing has been transported to yoar
own Fitzgerald. Again you wiil
hear the amusing and extrava ant
speeches of the ‘‘baley-ho” man.
The clamor and clang of attention
arresters, the wusic of show bands
and orchestras, the cries of con
cessionaries calling attention 10
their wares.
There will be that stimulativg
discord of sound, that mass of
brilliant color and light, that good
natured crowd of merrymakers
that vou remember 1n the past.
But this will be a Fair Midway
crowd. a laughing, jolly erowd vut
for a good time, out to be umuseu
and to amuse you.
"~ “A merry heart doeth good like
a medicine,” declares the Bibie. It
is better than auy medicine fer tue
system. It is the best tonic iu the
pharmacopia of life, rousing the
dormant tissues to action, bring
ing the flush of health to the face
and the vigor of strength to the
body,
Dr, Peters says: “‘ltis the simpl
est of prescriptions, needing no
compounding of elements and is 0
cheap that it is within the reach
of all.” And the Moss Greater
Shows pext week will most assur
edly be the best place to find this
famous recipe.
Few carpivals bhave had such
emphatically excellent endorse
ments by the press of the greater
cities in the guli and eastern states
as the Moss Brothers Greater Con
solidated Shows which come to
Fitzgerald next week to present
their attractions for the Til-Coun
ty Fair Association.
Itis no ordinary carnival organi
zation that will capture the public
today. Not only must it be shown
but it must be convinced again
by something miore than the biliing
of the advance agents; and the
Moss Brothers exhibitions seem to
nave done that so thoroughly in;
the cities that they have played
previous to their coming here that
the press seem to have been unani
mous 1n praises of the management‘
and encertainments.
Among the feature shows will
be: Morfoot and Franklins big
seven in one show,
7—Wonderful Exhibitions for
one Price of admission—7.

trical Girl. :

Educated by their charming young
mistress to an almost unbelievasle
degree.
Ladies and children wildly en
thusiastic over this performatce
‘a d the male gender like them as
well.
Ther» are other Animal shows
of cours:e, but none that compare
with that of Mrs. Dun, Americ»’s
greatest lady animal educator,
‘ The Arabian Nights—an oriental
'spectacular Production, gorgecus
'in costuming, rich in beauty. Opu
lent in graceful pose and action.

l M’lle Amunda Twiggs—and her
'animal Paradox, late of the Parisi
lan Hippodrome.
Michael Paduano and his famous
Italian Miiitary concert bard.
What others think about the
Moss Brothers attractions should
!be of interest to the Leader-En
‘terprise readers, hence the follow
ing clipping from the Cumberland
Maryland Evening News:
‘‘Excellence from many varied
standpoints characterizes the shows
ot d.oss Bros. And the patronage
attracted so far this week has beerr
of large proportions, in fact as a
magnet for attracting crowds it
grows stronges as the week pro
gresses. Everyone seems to agree
that they have seen the premier
organization in carnival land.
Cleanly and moral the shows are‘
interesting and amnsing from the
Morfoot and Eranklin “*Seven in
One,” and the “‘Dog and Ponyl
Show” to the ‘“Old Plantation.”
Michael Paduano’s Band is one of
the best musical organizations ever
carried by ary one over the road,f
and the the membership of the en
tire organization is decidedly above
that of other shows of the same
order. |
“That the public like clean
‘amusements without gambling de
vices and obscene shows, or a
gang of lowbrowed, profane at
tachee’s dressed in dirty unsightly
clothing, or often half dressed is
being amply demonstrated this
week by the constantly increasing
throng that daily attend the Moss
shows who are here for our Home
Coming Week.
In connection with the amuse
ments there is a young Ladies
Popularity Contest for a handsom
and costly diamond ring as first
prize and magnificient gold watch
for the second, The prizes are
now on exhibition in the show
window of Hailes Drug Store
where the Ballott Box will also be
placed. Youug ladies desiring to
enter as candidates- should leave
their names and addresses at the
drug store with the Docter, En
veiopes will be given the candi
dates and the one rcceiving the
most votes will be declared winnei
of the diamond ring and the nex!
one, of the watch, Votes are one
cent each, but a person can vote
as much and as often as they like
The standing will be bulletined
daily in the Drug Store window
and at the fair midway until the
last day of the fair when the con
test will close and the prizes be
presented the successful young
ladies,
