4 OF FEE COUNTY PROGRESS PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY FRED RICKETSON, Editor Entered at the Post Office at Doug las, Georgia, as Second Class Mail Matter under the Act of Congress March 3rd, 1879. OFFICIAL ORGAN: county of Coffee and City of Nicholls Thursday, October 29, 1925 Officers in Georgia do not oelieve in giving up a good thing. Last spring they failed to oust a State house officer and now the sheriff of Jones county absolutely refuses to come down after he has been tried and found guilty, in the United States court, of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. People may not appreciate the judgement of these men but they can not help but admire their determi nat’or to stay with a thing. ON TO CUBA THROUGH EAST AND WEST COAST OF FLORIDA, NOV, 22.

Shepherd church is located about one mile north of Huffer and seven miles northeast of Douglas. There are not enough people in the community of any one denomination to have a large Sunday School, there fore, the Methodists-, Baptists, the people of other denominations and a few of those who belong to no denom ination, together with those of other denominations join at the church in i union Sunday School each Sunday. A piano was needed for the church services, and for the Sunday School. Some time ago the people made a united drive and now a piano stands in the building and every cent has been paid for it. The building needed repairing. It was decided to sell refreshments and give a program. In accordance with the decision the following program was rendered Saturday night: Song—All Hail the Power of Je sus’ Name, by the choir. Prayer—Rev. S. G. Taylor. Motion song: “When I was a Ba by,”—Alice Bryant, Beatrice Sweat, Gladys Peacock, Mary Bryant, Gladys Peacock. Reading—Lola Mae Sweat. Music—By the Band. Reading: Boys Remarks to his Stom ech —Tidwell Smith. Reading—“Unawares”—Ocie Par ker. Song: “The Proposal,”—Peterson Ward and Gladys Peacock. Reading: “My Sisters’ Best Fel low,” —Nettie Parker. Dixie—by the Band. Song: “What Would You Take Me For?”—Alice Bryant, Beatrice Sweat, Gladys Peacock. Pantomime and Tableau, “Nearer My God to Thee”—Hazel Peacock, Alice Bryant, Beatrice Sweat, Mary Bryant, Mae Peacock. Reading: “Too Big and Too Little,” —Sarah Dean Smith. Reading: “College Oil Cans,” —Mrs. Callie Chance. Solo: “Little Feet Be careful—Mag gie Peacock. Reading: “The Besetting Sin,” — Mrs. N. L. Cox. Pantomime and Tableau, “Old Black Joe,” —Isaac Cato. Reading: “Graveley’s Troubles,” — J. L. Parker. Mrs. J. E. Philips had charge of the program and directed the rehearsals in preparation. She is to be com mended for her untiring efforts and she has shown that there is much tal ent in her community. Illness prevented some from par ticipating in the program, but it ap peared that every mother had a hand in preparing the refreshments which were sold before and after the pro gram. Some gave unselfishly their time, efforts and money to see the whole affair put over big. The following committe composed of Mrs. J. L. Parker, Mrs. J. E. Phil ips and Mr. Sampie Smith, wish to thank those who contributed to the affair, and to those who gave to the piano fun. They also take this method of ex tending their thanks to Mr. Bledsoe, Miss Thelma Bledsoe, and to Prof. Henry Williams for the special music rendered.

ALMA JUMi. % ROAD MAP SHOWING PROPOSED ROUTE VIA BROXTON FROM FITZGERALD. DOUGLAS U The accompanying road map, is a conception of pro- \ gressive Broxton citizens who point out the directness of \ the road from Fitzgerald to Douglas via Broxton. It is \ stated that the distance is equal or less than that of the UJ WAV CROSS Dixie Highway. An effort has been made to secure state aid for the pro posed route and assurances have come that the Highway X Board is giving the question serious consideration. Should the route be designated as suggested in the \ map it would increase State aid mileage in Coffee county by several miles. \ The map is published for the purpose of acquainting * the public generally with the fact that the distance between \ Douglas and Fitzgerald via Broxton is shorter, and that the \ consideration of the road between the two cities is in ex- \ cellent condition, built on permanent lines, and serves a far greater portion of Coffee county than does the present Dixie Highway. It is also the theory that the proposed route traverses as fine section of Coffee county as can be iAri/eAM\/n i C V\ found.

Judge of the Superior Courts of the Waycross Judicial Cir cuit, which includes Coffee County, Georgia, the county of the appoint ment of the undersigned guai’dian, at the Chambers of said Judge, at the City of Waycross in said state, a pe tition for leave to sell at private sale, for the purpose of reinvestment, the following real estate and interest in real estate belonging to A. M. Walker, George T.

Leave to sell said above described property, and the interest of said wards therein is sought because the charges and assessments against the same for public purposes is out of proportion to the income therefrom because it is so situated that there is likelihood of other and larger as sessments being made to cover costs of paying and sewerage extensions, and similar public improvements, and the appreciation or enhancement in value on account thereof will not be in keeping with such enpenditures; and furthermore because said wards are without an estate out of which to pay said assessments, and the funds derived from the sale of said property can be reinvested in productive farm lands or city property, less expensive to keep and productive of income com mensurate with its value sufficient to pay the exepenses incident to the ownership thereof and to contribute largely to the maintenance and sup port of said wards.
