It has been a little over two months since we commenced to erect the Col¬ ony Co-operative Canning and Pickle Factory, and it is now ready for the machinery. Thus far it has been built by the mechanics of the city and the 5, 10 and 20-acre tract men. The lumber and shingles being mostly furnished by the different saw millsandlumber deal¬ ers of the citv and surrounding coun¬ try. Now, we do expect the business men and merchants of this city to sub¬ scribe enough money to put in the ma¬ chinery. Without such aid we cannot get ready to start canning by the time tomatoes will be ripe. There is already over one hundred acres planted, beside beans and peas. Are we to allow those vegetables to rot on the ground? Let these men suffer that have stepped to the front, taken stock and worked it out in full, went home worked and dug, Railed roots, and have got a good show¬ ing for a good crop of tomatoes. No! Gentlemen, I know you will not, for it is for your interest to sustain this fac¬ tory, for on it depends your success: for if they have nothing to bring in money you can’t expect them to give what they have not. Where will your busi¬ ness go to? Nearly every doRar they get for their vegetables you will receive in return for your goods. I make this appeal to you as business men, and in the interest of humanity. In order that the stock holders may know who helped to build this factory we are having a chart prepared, and each class will be placed on this chart, classified as a sale of honor. This will be placed in the most conspicuous place in the factory so that every one may see who has the most interest in the upbuilding of Fitz¬ gerald. I remain yours truly, C. A. Bucher, M. D., Pres. May 18, 1897. I heartily indorse the action of Dr. C. A. Bucher in his effort to complete the canning factory, and believe every business man in the city should lend his aid to make this industry important a success. It is one of the most indus¬ tries that the colony could now have. It gives encouragement for outside men to find ready sale for their produce. While it helps them it also helps the business man with whom these people trade. We subscribed for five more shares, and hope all will join in and complete the subscription needed. Yours, P. H. Fitzgerald, Pres, of the C olony Co. _ To Onr Patrons. Commencing next week we will be prepared to furnish ice to the business men and citizens of Fitzgerald of a quality made from distilled water, which is pure and guaranteed to be above other grades of ice shipped here. We meet all prices quoted and desire a share of your patronage as we are a Fitzgerald industry. As yet we have made no arrangements with no one to act as agent for us. Lyle Ice Co.

The Georgia & Alabama railway is making arrangements for a special service to accommodate all confeder¬ ate veterans who desire to be present at the seventh annual reunion of the united confederates at Nashville, June 22-24. This movement, promises to be one of the most attractive features of the Tennessee centennial, as special dis¬ tinctions will be accorded the organi¬ zation. The rates that will apply are lower than used in favor of any other organization, and will doubtless be taken advantage of by a large major¬ ity of confederate veterans and their families. Any agent or official of the G. & A. railway will be pleased to furnish any farther information de¬ sired. The fears of monopoly in the hand¬ ling of cotton by the round-bale pro¬ cess, which have existed in some quar¬ ters, may be set at rest fey the state¬ ment in the ManufaMutosrs’ Record that it isauthoritativelyynlormed that the American Cotton Co. proposes to operate its cylindrical compresses in co-operation with local planters and ginners throughout the South. The plan of operations that has been de¬ cided upon will enable planters and ginners to avail themselves of the ben¬ efits of this invention on a liberal co¬ operative basis, with a market for their cotton assured. The company will be¬ gin at once the introduction of round- bale compresses. In an interview in the Manufacturers’ Record Mr. Henry Hentz, president of the Now York Cot¬ ton Exchange, camly and accurately gages the opposition to the new pro¬ cess, and from an independent stand¬ point. supported by practical exper¬ ience, he says that “it is absolutely cer¬ tain that cotton packed in cylindrical bales .under the system adopted by this company will bring higher prices all the world over than that packed in the prevailing styles.” Jiotie.) to Public School Teachers.
