BEAR IN MIND— LEADER to any address unless paid for in advance. No cash, no paper. WH URST BROTH EBSX Col. G. A. K. Stevens and wife last Wednesday for Atlanta, where this excellent couple will take charge of a school in the suburbs of the capital city. The Leader trusts their new field of labor will be pleasant in all its branches, and that some day they may again make Fitzgerald their home. The board of education, of which Mr. Stevens was a valued member, passed the following resolutions through the committee appointed: Whereas, Our respected associate, Mr. G. A. K. Stevens, having been called to other scenes of usefulness, and, having in consequence thereof, ten¬ dered his’resignation as a member of this board, and Whereas, He, by his uniform kind¬ ness of heart, gentlness of manner and strict adherence to principle, coupled with an executive ability and a thor¬ oughly trained mind, has been a valua¬ ble member of our board since its first organization, therefore be it Resolved, Thit we part with him with sincere regret not unmixed with sorrow. Be it further Resolved, That we earnestly hope the success in his new field of educa- tional work vyill equal, in every partic¬ ular, his most sanguine expectations; that prosperity and happiness will be his through life, and when school shall be dismissed forever may faith and hope lighten his pathway to blissful rest be vend. W. H. Marston, ) D. T. Paulk, ) - Com. J. G. Knapp, To Colonists ami Citizens of Fitzgerald. The undersigned company, having been induced to erect an ice factory among you, with the expectations of tv liberal support, find, after a one month’s experience, that the people have not responded so we could earn running expenses, but have given thd bulk of their patronage to agents rep¬ resenting factories in other towns. Some of these agents have gone so far as to give away ice to several of our pat¬ rons. We feel that the people generally are in sympathy with us, but our expe¬ rience shows most of the business men are patrons of these outs ide factories. In consequence of this situation we are forced to ask the colonists to choose be¬ tween giving their home factory their patronage cr the outside factories. If the verdict is for outside institutions, we will close and move the factory away. If, on the other hand, we receive the patronage of the public, we will not take advantage of the same. We are now trying if we can make expenses at rales of 30, 35 and 49 cents per hundred. If pur patronage will not justify these prices we promise the prices will not exceed the average prices of various other cities having even twice the pat¬ ronage we can expect, viz: 40, 45 and 50 cents. After this we will publish in all the weekly papers of the town a list of the business men who patronize us, with the hope that the colonists and citizens will patronize and encourage home industries. A business man who refuses to trade at home does not de¬ serve home trade. Lyle Ice Co. Since writing the above, so many of the business men of the city have began to take our ice we feel it impossible to get all the names together and in wishing time for this week’s papers, not to do anyone an injustice, until we have week. con¬ cluded to defer the list next Lyle Ice Co. July 29, 1897. ColonylMembers and Citizens Fitzgerald. We, as directors of the Colony Com¬ pany and residents of the city of Fitz¬ gerald, are given to understand that the agents of an outside corporation doing business at Macon, has made statements to the effect, that they would give away ice to the consumer, but what they would ruin and break up the business of the Lyle Ice Com¬ pany. The present ice war would seem to indicate that the Acme Brew¬ ing Co. of Macon is determined to keep their threat and ruin almost the first manufacturing enterprise started in our city. The colony has given this ice com¬ pany the lands they occupy and have promised their support: therefore we ask citizens to stand by our home in¬ dustry, as it is simply a choice be¬ tween patronizing Macon or Fitzger¬ ald. The Lyle Ice Co. have spent sev¬ eral thousand dollars in their enter¬ prise and intend to put in bathing pools and other improvements, if they receive the support of the people of Fitzgerald. They have promised us and made statements to others that if they can receive the support of the citizens and business men of our city and colony that they will hereafter sell ice to the people of Fitzgerald at a fair and reasonable reduction from prices that ice sold at previous to their starting the factory. We, therefore ask that all citizens and members of the colony interested in the upbuilding of our city give their support to this industry, and thereby show to manufacturers and capitalists that the people of Fitzgerald believe in protecting their home industries.
