CITY AND COUNTY.
Mr. Fitzgerald is expected here Sat¬
urday evening from Indianapolis on a
business trip.
It has just leaked out the reason Cor¬
bett was kuocked out was because he
had “Fit-z" in the ring.
Mrs. M. E. Pittman returned last
Wednesday from Atlanta, where she
purchased a large stodk of millinery
goods.

ham, this city, last Friday, a nine-
pound boy. Mother and son getting
along nicely.
A Mr. Williams and wife, of Johnson
county, Indiana, who have spent the
past winter in Florida, arrived in the
magic city last Monday.
Deputy Clerk Kabrich, who has been
od the sick list for the past ten days, is
able to be around again. The Leader
is glad to see him about once more.
A fire alarm was turned in last Mon¬
day morning from a building on Oconee
avenue, occupied by negroes as a res¬
taurant. The loss was trifling.
R. C. Kimball, the contractor, se
cured the contract for building Mayor
Goodnow’s residence on the first five
acre tract facing W. Ocmulgee ave.
Department Commander James Av-
erille, of Atlanta, has appointed Capt

the democratic county central commit-
tee, honored this office with a short
call last Friday.

on S. Grant street. Rev. H. F. Long,
pastor. Everybody cordially invited,
Attorney Cheney, formerly of East¬
man, has located in our city for the
practice of his profession. He comes
well recommended as a jurist of high
ability. The Leader welcomes him
to our city.
Here is Minnesota philosophy for
you. The St. Paul-Globe says. “The
burning of corn in Nebraska is a doubly
good thing. It keeps the farmers warm
and prevents the sale of it to somebody-
to make into bad whisky."
No mail has been received in this
city since Monday morning on account
of washouts on the main line of the G.
& G. Steps should be taken at once by
our citizens to see that wo have mail
over the T. & N. E. railroad.
E. H. Campbell, representing the
Southern Real Estate and Financial
Journal, of Atlanta, was in tne city the
first of the week in the interest of his
paper. Their April number will con¬
tain a writeup of Fitzgerald with a
number of illustrations.
F C. Mallory, of St Paul, Minn,
who has been here on a business trip
tbe past week left last Tuesday for his
northern home. Mr. Mallory is more
than delighted with Fitzgerald. While
here he purchased the Dillingham
property on E. Magnolia avenue.
The mayor has made his appointment
on the board of health, consisting oi
Dr. J. L. Miller, Dr. C. B. White and
Alderman Brunner. They are given
power to close up every privy vault in
the city if not renovated in proper
shape, and other matters pertaining to
the health of the city.
Jack McMillen, of New York, and
Larry McDonald, of Massachusetts,
have agreed to give a sparring match
in this city on Monday evening, April
5th, for the gate receipts. The match
is attracting much attention as sports
from Macon and Savannah will be here.
The admission, we understand, will
be 50 cents.
_
Smith Bros, have made a number of
improvements about their building the
past two weeks. Amoug which is tbe
erection of a cold storage room, that
for neatness and durability exceeds any
we have yet seen. Smith Bros, are
agents for the Macon brewing company
and keep in stock about two car loads
of their celebrated tonic, American
Queen and Acme.
That young and frisky goat of the K.
of P.’s, is having more real hard work
than anybody these days. Phil Harris,
H. N. Fordhatn and C. Hurst rode him
for the second time, and it is said
landed one of the boys very near the
door with a dull thud, but was finely
rescued. Our friend, Judge Moore,
also took a gay ride, but it was terrible
the way he got bumped. Five more
candidates, we understand, will try his
goatship to-night.
The city council will not meet again
until the regular session, which will be
the first Mond ay in Apr il.
The Emplro store building on Pine
street has been sold to Savannah par-
ties who are going to open up a saloon

tion with the Boyd Hardware Co., and
desires his friends to call and see him

Mrs. T. S. Price, who has been visit¬
ing relatives at Sylvester, Ga , the past
ten days, returned home last Saturday
after a tplendid visit.
H, B. Carter, who was in business
here last year and was burned out is
again in the city. Ho says there is no
place like Fitzgerald.
Ross R. Hellish and wife departed for
St, Joe, Mo., this morning, where they
will reside during the summer. The
Leader will welcome them back about
November 1st._
Superior court convenes at Irwinville
on the 5th of April, with Hon. Judge
Smith presiding. A large dbeket is on
and court will probably last about ten
days. It is hoped that when our next
spring term convenes that the court
house will be here at Fitzgerald.
The Leader will contain next week
forty-three parcels of land that will be
sold for taxes. A good many of them
are valuable lots in Fitzgerald and a
syndicate, we understand, is being
formed to purchase them. A good
many of them belong to colony mem¬
bers living in the North.
Mr. S. M. Coleman, of Ocalla, this
county, while in this city last Friday,
had his bicycle stolen shortly after his
arrival by some sneak thief. “Mystic
No. 5” is the name and number of the
wheel. He offers a reward of $5 for the
return of the wheel at his home, or at
The Leader office.
R ev . Geo. Wagoner, of Shoals, Indi-
ana arrived over the G. & A. on the
,
late train Sunday evening. He is a
young man coming well recommended,

The company of volunteers organized
last Saturday will meet this coming
Saturday afternoon for the purpose of
electing officers. They expect now to
be called away most any day as some of
the boys are anxious to get into battle.
From our experience from ’61 to ’65
they will be more anxious to get out
than they were to get in.
T. S. Price, of the Empire store, re¬
turned from New York, where he pur¬
chased a large stock of new goods. Mr.
Price is making arrangements with
Mr. Fitzgerald to cut an archway
through the wall between his room and
that of Mr. Baldwin, and will occupy
both rooms. This will give the Em¬
pire store plenty of room and carry a
much larger stock.
Mr. Whitley, of MiDnie, Ga., in a
letter to The Leader dated March 24,
1897, in speaking of the recent heavy
rains, says: “The hardest rain storm
for many years visited us Monday night.
It rained all day Monday, The streams
were extremely high, and on Tuesday
morning the water in the mill pond of
Dr. W. Fussell broke the record, the
water standing atafull head for twenty-
four hours. The public road bridge is
a total wreck and out of place gener¬
ally. It has been many years since
such a rainfall has visited this section.”
Candidates for the Fitzgerald postof¬
fice are still bobbing up, and in a few
weeks we think we will be able to pub¬
lish the names, that is, if we can get
enough type from the type foundrys.
Among the number this week we hear
that Mrs. Nettie C. Hall, of the Enter¬
prise, is quite prominently mentioned.
From present indications it would seem
that the men folks will have to get up
and hustle if they heat Mrs. Hall on
the home stretch. The songs we will
hear after the appointment is made,
will be something after this style,
something late and catchy: “I’ll Never
Smile Again,” "There are Others,”
“Good Bye pld William, Good Bye,”
“Never Touched Me,” “I Wonder
Why,” “I Got That Icy Cold Touch,”
“Also the Marble Heart,” etc., etc.
There is scarcely a week passes by
but what this office is in receipt of let¬
ters from non-resident colony members
asking for information in regard to
their taxes, saying, “I have written the
tax collector about my taxes, inclosing
a stamp for answer, but I am unable to
hear from him. I wish you would at¬
tend to the matter for me.” The pub¬
lishers of The Leader beg leave to say
that they have not the time and cannot
afford to hire a livery at their own ex¬
pense and make the trip to Inyinville
in answer to the many letters we re¬
ceive relative to taxos and other mat¬
ters. In many instances the parties
writing fail to giye the number of their
lot or tract, whether deeded or other¬
wise. Mr. D. C. Welch, Fitzgerald,
Ga., is the proper man to write to rela¬
tive to colony matters. He is superin¬
tendent of the colony, receives a stipu¬
lated salary, and, who, we believe, will
answer all letters on all matters per¬
taining to colony business.

Those having legal notice for publi-
cation will please bear in mind that
commencing this week The Leader
is the official paper of Irwin county,
Georgia. As Thj; Leader has been
for some timo past the official paper of
the city, and virtually now the official
paper of the county, makes it a vaiua-
ble newspaper for the tax payers ot Ir-
win county. I he Leader is the only
office in this section of wire-grass Geor-
gia whose power presses are run by en-
gine power, and hence fully equipped
to turn out all kinds of hook and com¬
mercial printing. The Leader has a
large circulation among our native
farmers, to say nothing of our large and
increasing city circulation, all of which
makes The Leader the host adver¬
tising medium in this section of Georgia.
The board of education met last
Wednesday afternoon and deferred the
engaging of a superintendent until the
next regular meeting which will be
Wednesday, March 31. The board, as
an official body, visited the Third Ward
school building and found the teachers
and pupils all busy. The first primary
department is presided over by Miss
Adeladie Riebsam, with forty-two en-
rolled scholars. The second primary
is in charge of Miss Louise Goodnow,
with thirty-seven scholars. Miss Dell
Herrington ably manages the interme¬
diate department with thirty-five schol¬
ars enrolled. The high school, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades, are under
the special supervision of Professor
Saunders, with Professor Swafford and
Miss Stewart as assistants. The school
is in excellent shape and the corps of
teachers are well pleased with the work
and giving the best of satisfaction.
The Leader is proud of our school
system and the able manner in which
they are conducted. The board will
officially visit the First Ward some
time next week.
The Leader is sorry to see the re¬
cent articles appearing in the Citizen
of this place relative to the manage-
ment of city affairs, under our mayor
and aldermen. Such articles do no
good, and are hurting the town in a
good many respects. Instead of trying
to tear down what our mayor and al¬
dermen have done is for the Citizen
and others to help them and all work
together. Capitalists and others inter¬
ested in our town and hearing such re¬
ports will stop and probably never lo¬
cate in our city if they are led to be¬
lieve that such fabrications are true.
Our mayor and board of aldermen are
all citizens of Fitzgerald, and doing all
in their power for the upbuilding of our
city. They are men above reproach.
The Leader is for Fitzgerald and Ir¬
win county first, last and all the time;
we are here to stay and money cannot
hire us to put in our paper such lying
fabrications by some unprincipled fel¬
low who probably did not get some fat
job he was after. We are of the opin¬
ion that the board of aldermen can run
this city as well as this same fellow.
Georgia the Garden Spot.
While our sympathies go out to the
people of Arkansas, Tennessee, Missis¬
sippi and Louisiana, because of the de¬
vastation wrought by the floods, we
cannot but felicitate Georgia upon tbe
fact that she is spared from calamitous
visitations. The State has an abund¬
ance of fructifying streams, but none is
so large that it ever becomes seriously
destructive. The lands in the Missis¬
sippi valley which are now under water
are richer, probably, than are to be
found in any other part of the country,
but there production is limited practi¬
cally to cotton, not because the soil is
not adapted to general cultivation, but
because investments in permanent or¬
chards and gardens are rendered unsafe
by the recurring overflows. The levees
are not strong enough to guarantee
continual immunity, and hence no man
plants orchards which require years which for
their development or gardens and
demand close attention year in year
out. An overflow which would destroy
an orchard or a garden may not affect
the year’s income of a cotton planter.
Georgia’s good fortune lies in the fact
that the conditions of the seasons may
be depended upon more absolutely than
anywhere else, for drought and frost
and flood are rare. Hence it is that
Georgia may claim to be truly a garden
spot, not only for cotton, but lor all the
fruits of the earth. Barely does any¬
thing occur to interfere with the farmer
when the ca'endar marks the regular
planting time, and so with the periods
of growth and harvest. Cotton in
Georgia does not grow so rankly as it
does in the alluvium of the Mississippi is
delta, but it grows more safely and it
freer from the ailments that menace
in a region where there is excessive
moisture or excessive and protracted
heat. It is in Georgia where nature af¬
fords the farmer the best averages, and
this may be statiscally demonstrated.
Tbe conditions are such that tbe Geor¬
gia farmer, no matter in what portion
of the State he may live, can more cer¬
tainly calculate upon results from a
given amount of labor and acreage than
is possible for any farmer in a region
subject to extremes of weather. It is
for this reason that Georgia is so gen¬
erally favored by home-seekers who de¬
sire the-greatest approximation things to being un¬
varying conditions, other
at all equal. In the sections of the
South subject to overflow, it is not al¬
ways p ssible for a planter to make his
permanent home upon his plantation.
This he may do in Georgia everywhere, deal.—Ma-
and this counts for a great
eon Daily Telegraph 25th.
WILL HAVE LIMIT IS NINETY BAYS.
Everything Moving Along iu Elite Shape
for th<> Ereelion of the Plant.
Capt. R. T. Coverdale and Mr. Ar¬
thur Kit-son arrived in our city on Fri¬
day from Philadelphia, and every de-
tall connected with the erection of the
gqs, electric light and water-works was
edmpleted.
Mr. Kitson, after carefully looking
ovor the ground, came to the conclusion
that it would be wis: to erect the elec-
trie light plant simultaneously with the
gas plant. It is known that no prova¬
ion was made by the council for elec-
trie lights as they saw it would be too
expensive, but as the new hotel is fitted
with wires, and several citizens were
desirous of going to the expense of
electric lights for their buildings, the
gentlemen connected with the works
concluded that it would beof great ben¬
efit to the city to place a few arc tights
on Central avenue for which they will
make no charge until the city is in bet¬
ter financial condition than it is at
Captain Coverdale will return to Fitz¬
gerald in the early part of next week
and remain here until the completion
of the works, the erection of which he
will personally superintend. The Cap¬
tain has erected fifty-two gas works in
the United States and probably has no
peer in his line of business.
Mr. Kitson was delighted with our
city, and expressed himself in very fa¬
vorable terms, and he will be the means
of inducing other capitalists to come
here at a very early date, and will
build a residence for himself and bring
his family here to spend the winter.
It is very probable that the price oi
gas to the city and to the consumers
will not be quite as high as the con¬
tract calls for. The new “Kitson pro¬
cess” is probably the most economical
in existence, and if the consumption of
gas is at all encouraging, the price will
be reduced.
Work on tbe plants will commence in
a few days, and it is safe to say that tbe
city will be ablaze with lights within
ninety days from the first of April.
Mr. Lascelles has been appointed sec¬
retary of the company, which will be
known as the “Fitzgerald Gas, Electric
Light and Water-works Company," at
a salary of $1,500 per year.
We congratulate our townsman on
his good fortune. He has done a great
deal for our city, and the thanks of
every citizen are due to him for the
benefits he has brought to them.
The Grand Army Salute to the Flag,
Which was received with such patri¬
otic enthusiasm in the department en-
campmentof the G. A. R. recently held
in this city, has been adopted by Colony

ship every department of the order in
the United States. For the benefit of

Rev. Wm. M. Waller, Atlanta’s suc¬
cessful evangelist, is now holding a
series of meetings in the M. E. church,
south. He has just closed a meeting of
wonderful power in Waycross, in which
the town received such an uplifting as
one rarely sees. His work is thorough,
and everybody has a cordial invitation
to attend. Services until further an¬

I wish to make a few inquiries in re¬
lation to kerosene. I have been an¬
noyed by my lamp blaze flashing up,
down or out. Of course it is caused by
poor or adulterated oil. Some time
ago I saw a notice in your paper that
all the kerosene shipped here was per¬
fectly pure. If so, who is the miscreant
who tampers with.Us purity? I don’t
know whether any one else is so an¬
noyed or not. At first I thought it
might be the fault of my lamp, so I got
another, then a third, then I tried it
in my lantern, but with the same result.
So I turned down my grocer; still the
same. Then a third, but I find all three
buy from the same parly. Now, is there
no law in this State to protect us from
imposition? Is there no oil inspector or
can any unprincipled person go into the
oil business and adulterate to their
heart’s contentand gounharmed? Who
will arise and explain?
C. J. Estey.
The funeral of Mrs. Geo. Hart, who
died Tuesday evening, took place yes-
terdy. She was 50 years of age and had
been an invalid for a number of years.
We are without further particulars.
The Leader deeply sympathizes with
Comrade Hart in his great affliction.

ASSESSMENT ATiOUT THROUGH.
City Assessor Felt Has About Completed
Ills Labors—Valuation 1532,020.
City Assessor Charles Feit has about
concluded his labors of assessing the
Fitzgerald real estate. The total valu¬
ation of city lots; five-acre tracts and
improvements will amount to about
'*532,020. ’■
The board of equalization meeis on
April 9th, When all parties having
been erronously assessed can tell their
troubles to tho board. .Mr. Felt is of
the opinion that there won’t he much
complaint, as theuissessment haB been
very low. “If 1 had went ahead and
assessed the colony property," in talk¬
ing with a reporter, “for what they are
asking for property, and also listing
other property for what people might
ask for it, the assessment roll would be
close to *800,000. But I have been very
careful not to make the assessment
high or erroneous. I don’t think there
will be any kicking."
RACE TRACK SOLI).
Jolm A. Phillips the Lucky Purchaser—
Re-sells It to Other Parties.
According to advertised sale, the
race track, grand stand, barns, etc.,
were sold last Saturday morning at the
front door of Drew W. Paulk’s justice
office. The sale was quite largely at¬
tended, but only two bids being made.
The first was that of J. G. Knapp,
$1,068, and the next bid was that of
John A. Phillips of 11,200, who secured
the land.
Two hours later Mr. Phillips sold the
property to Sidney Lascelies and Ar¬
thur Kitson, of Philadelphia, for $1,500,
who, we understand, have purchased
it for a numbei«of racing people of Phil¬
adelphia who expect to give a larger
race meeting next winter than was
given last winter.
The track and improvements were
easily worth $5,000, and Messrs. Las¬
celles and Kitson made no bad bargain.
We trust they will be able to make a
deal with the Philadelphia parties and
that a big meeting will be given this
winter.
Hon. Dickson, county school commis¬
sioner, was in the magic city last Fri¬
day, and of course paid The Leader
a pleasant call. Mr. Dickson is deeply
interested in qchool work and is doing
all in his power to advance and syste¬
matize the school work of the county.
He says there are forty schools in op¬
eration out of a total of sixty-five, not
counting the schools of Fitzgerald. The
teachers’ institute will be held in this
Saturday, April 3d, and says’he
h°P es aB tbe teachers in Irwin county
will he present. Mr. Dickson says an
excellent program will be-prepared for
the occasion. In regard to farm mat¬
ters in his section of the country, Mr.
Dickson says farm work is well ad¬
vanced, tbe prospects being verv bright
for abundant crops of all kinds. He
says the farmers in his neighborhood
are busy cultivating their corn, which
is from three to five inches high and of
a very healthy color.
