Hon. Chas. A. McGregor, of
Warrenton, accompanied of Thomson, by Ga., Mr.
and Mrs. Lee
passed through the city this morn¬
ing on their return from Florida.
The party accompanied Watson Ft. the Lauder' Hon.
Tbwfts K, to
dale. Their experiences as printed
in the Jeflersonian were very much
like the ones we had on our trip
with Mr. Marion Dixon on our
scouting trip to Jacksonville. The
return trip of these noted wander-
via Callahan, Hilliard, Kings
Ferry, Folkston, Waycross, Doug-
laM and hitzgerald without a hitch,
We regret very much that we
could not induce the party
spend much time with us, but
brief visit was necessitated by
long trip still ahead of them.
They left for Thomson via Abbe-
lle, Hawkinsville and Dublin.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
J Or FITZGERALD, GA.
In all its dealings this bank combines absolute safety with
satisfactory service, and never loses sight of either.
This bank has been highly favored. Its earnings have
been satisfactory to the stockholders; the depositor has i
also had a fair division of the profits, which were paid out
in interest, and otherwise enjoyed the prosperity of the
bank. All of which goes to show that the interests of the
bank and the people are identical; and that the two are
so closely interwoven that they cannot be separated.
To those who may wish to cast their lot with us, we
promise our very best service.

Can the line spun theories of ill minded Advisors still
the small voice which will forever in increasing force make
itself heard thru active working of one’s conscience or can
the noisy acclaim of technical squibbles drown the accusing
conscience of an accusing act? Like Banque’s Ghost the
offence will ever be present in the small hours of the night
when sleep will not come to the weary mind, when one hunts
the cool spots on the pillow to sooth the feverish brow, the
specter of self accusation will trouble the offender and no
attorney’s sophistry will be a protection against the ever
present Mian’s accusing conscience. Nature has so endowed
reason that the more refined and educated the intel-
ect the greater and keener the suffering. Tho at times the
tempter may disguise his inducements, and the punishment victim, of in
his greed, fall to the seductive promises, the
an awakened conscience will certainly overtake them. Con¬
tentment will flee from the hearth and too laie one will rec-
ognize that the price paid for the temporary gain was too
the wound will never heal. Blackstone may create
avenues of escape for the legal offender but the invigor-
ated conscience will forever be a bar to the future enjoy¬
ment of ill gotten gain. Let no desciple of Blackstone,
however well versed in law and sophistry seduce you to go
counter your conscience’s approval! These sharks have
everything to gain and nothing to lose and “what will it
profit you, if you gain the world and lose your soul (con-
tentment)!
