FITZGERALD,^GEORGIA.
COUNTY NEWS.
From Ocllla Nows.
Rev. Dr. Patrick and wife, of
Enigma, were in the city this week.
Dr. Patrick preached at the Academy
Sunday night.
Quite a crowd of young people en¬
joyed a candy pulling at the hospitable
home of Judge Henderson’s last Tues¬
day night. The Judge took special
pains to make everyone enjoy the
occasion, this being the last night’s
grinding the crowd was given poosses-
sion. The music was simply grand.
It is leported that a syndicate is be¬
ing formed to connect Ocilla with
Fitzgerald by an electric railway,
carrying both passengers and freight.
Fitz is one of our prettiest suburan
towns and should this movement suc¬
ceed we might after awhile unite both
under one municipality.
The News has been very fortunate
in securing the services of Mr. W. N.
Kenny of Dawson, who fills the posi¬
tion which Mr. Ilaulin held. Mr.
Kenny is not only a first class printer,
but he is also a nice, polished young
gentleman, who will be an addition to
society, as well as business circles.
He has already endeared himself to
the News force, by his strict attention
to business, and polite manners.
Georgia at Omaha.
Everyone who is interested in see¬
Georgia’s resources brought to the
must approve the action of the
on last Monday iu adopting the
resolution which provides for the ap¬
pointment of a special commission of
citizens, including the chief
exec ‘ o secure an exhibit of the
resources of this state at the approach¬
ing Trans-Mississippi and Internation¬
al exposition at Omaha.
There are many reason why
Georgia should be represented at this
exposition. In the first place the
section of country in which the expo¬
sition is to be held offers a new and
promising field in which to display
our resources. This inducement is
further strengthened by tlie fact that
as the Trans-Mississippi and Inter¬
national exposition is the broadest
enterprise of the kind ever held west
of the Mississippi river, there are sure
to be large crowds in attendance.
Other states have realized the im¬
portance of providing for handsome
exhibits, and Georgia cannot afford to
be indifferent when there is so much
at stake.
' In the second place, Georgia, as one
of the south Atlantic states should
cultivate friendly relations with the
west. During the past few years
western shippers have shown a dispo¬
sition to patronize our south Atlantic
and gulf ports in the shipment of
grain; but, as the business of our ports
is still small in comparison with the
country’s total grain exports, it is
evident that more encouragement is
needed in this direction.
Georgia can make a handsome dis¬
play of her resources at the Trans-
Mississippi and International exposi¬
tion at little or no expense. The
commission can be authorized to use
the exhibit made at the Cotton States
and International exposition, and sub¬
sequently at the Tennessee Centennial,
which thoroughly answers every pur¬
pose and is truly representative of the
mineral and vegetable resources of the
state. In all probability the railroads
can be induced to transport the ex¬
hibit freet of charge; and as
the commissioners themselves serve
without pay, the state is presented
with an opportunity which for advertising
her resources, should be im¬
proved to the utmost.—Atlanta Con¬
The Local Newspaper.
AH things considered, the newspa¬
per of the smaller city and town has
a mission not equaled even by that of
the great daily in the largest of our
cities. The newspaper in the small
place reaches the heart of its readers
and keeps in touch with local senti¬
ment as the journal in the great city
cannot hope to do. The editor is not
a mysterious being, far removed from
his fellow townsmen, who has to be
reached by a bell boy and a card re¬
ceiver. His readers know him by
sight; he is one of themselves ; his in¬
terests are their interests.
Just now it is the chief interest of
the country outside of the large cities
to build up a noble local public spirit.
This the local paper can do as nothing
else can, and this it is at present ac¬
complishing. The small cities and
rural neighborhoods need to be made
attractive as places of residences, so
that they will be a joy perpetual and
draw people away from the big cities
instead of the big cities drawing peo¬
ple away from them.
Every small city, every neighbor¬
hood needs good streets and roads,
good libraries, beautiful landscapes,
public improvement, societies, first-
class schools, societies for the learning
oi civics, good citizenship and good
local government. These are things
in which every man, woman and child
is interested. They are the things in
the securing of which the local news¬
paper can and does aid more than any
other agency. YVhatever tends to in¬
crease the prosperity, refinement and
intelligence of the region in which the
majority of its readers dwell, that the
local newspaper will be found to ad¬
vocate every time.
It is not a mere medium for the cir¬
culation of gossip. It is the herald
and promoter to the extent of its cir¬
culation of the culture, progress and
prosperity of its readers.
Woman.
A pretty woman is one of the insti¬
tutions of Texas—an angel in dry
goods and glory.
She makes sunshine, blue skies and
happiness wherever she goes.
Her path is one of roses, perfume
and beuty.
She is a s weet poem, written in
choice calicoes and good principles.
Man stands up before her like so
many admiration points.
Her words floats around the ears
like sweet music, birds of paradise or
the sweet cadence of Sabbath bells.
Without her, society would lose its
only attraction, the church its finest
reliance and young men their best
associates.
Her influence and generosity re¬
strain the vicious, cheer the lonely,
and strengthen the faint hearted.
Without her influence man becomes
wicked and depraved; with it he is
made better, purer, nobler.—Bosque
Banner.

most critical pe¬
riod of her life.
Ev! & Becoming a
mother should be
a source of joy
to all, but the
suffering and
danger of the ordeal make
its anticipation one of misery.
MOTHER’S FRIEND
is the remedy which relieves
women of the great pain and suf¬
fering incident to maternity; this
hour which is dreaded as woman’s
severest trial is not only made
painless, but all the danger is re¬
moved by its use. Those who use
this remedy are no longer de¬
spondent or gloomy; nervousness
nausea and other distressing con¬
ditions are avoided, the system is
made ready for the coming event,
and the serious accidents so com¬
mon to the critical hour are
obviated by the use of Mother's
Friersd. It is a blessing to woman.

MB. Editor—H aving- business at
Tifton to day (Wednesday) I took my
wife along with me to enjoy the ride,
etc. We arrived there at 12:45, and
feeling the need of refreshments we
went to the Hotel Sadie. Here we met
our old friend, Bro. Gump, late of Fitz¬
gerald, who introduced me to Mr.
Meyers, day clerk of tho Sadie. Soon
we were taken to the spacious dining
rooms, seated and ready for the busi¬
ness hour. We enjoyed a splendid din¬
ner, served in a manner unsurpassed by
the “Fifth Avenue.” Waiters attentive,
and courteous. Everything about the
Sadie shows a systamatic management.

Every man you meet can tell you just
what ails the country and why money is
so scarce, says the Albany Herald. It
is his right to think as ho pleases and
preach his theories to his heart’s con¬
tent, but those who have given the mat¬
ter most caaefuj consideration credit-sys¬ are
agreed that has the abominable
tem which existed in the South for
years is to blame for the present sad
state of affairs. If every man in this
section had conducted his business on
a strictly cash basis for the last fifty
yeaas, that wave of prosperity which
was promised us and for which we have
been so eagerly looking, would not be
needed at all—Blakely Observer.
