Grant St. 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. Baby Mine! Every mother feels an i n d e - scribable dr-each of the pain and T ant danger upon attend¬ the 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. $1.00 PER BOTTLE at all Drug Stores, or sent by mail on receipt of price.
