beds but he asked us to make them
look nice now as they are. He

the school vells, listening to tbe'
yells of the different schools, thei
faculty attended and listening tol
Dr. Ford sing the Harvard songs.
Miss Powell and he were the only
ones who would sing their school
songs. All the rest, altho urged to
do so, refused to sing for various
reasons.
The shop has taken up leather
work now and the boys are making
picture frames. The tea-files ‘and
the modeled leather articles would
make fire X’'mas presents, 2
Friday the singing was done
mainly by a sextette of girls. The
rest of the school joining in the
chorus, We only sang one song
which is not enough.
Thursday, Thanksgiving we
had no school, of course.
The big Thanksgiving football
game was fully up to expecta
tions. * Both teams played the
best kind of game.
The high scl.mol won the toss
and kicked toward the south

mericus high in that little city. The
boys will leave Saturday morning,
Considering the showing the Fitz
gerald team, with mostly high'school
players, made against these A
maricussers Friday, playing only
straight old-fashioned _football, ' the
outlook is very bright. for an F. H.
S. victory.
The Fitzgerald town boys
played the Americus town boys
a tie game with the score .of 0-0
Friday, Our team was a mix
ture of the regular town ream
and the high school with the
signals of mneither. "No §trick
plays could be used because all
the backfield did not know the
signal. However with line
plunges a few end runs and
several forward passes.
Fitzgerald was able to holdits
own against the crack Americus
All Stars. The High School
students did great deal more
cheering for the All Stars than
they have ever done for F. H. S. ‘
However we are glad that they
yell at all. :
~ Tha Stars of the game were a
red-headed Americus player who
went thru the line like a snake
and Cohen, Pryor and Paulk for
Fitz. Paulk a Tifton player, was
on the side lines in ecitizens—or
rather motoreyclists-clothes, He
was put at end and played a very
good game. ‘
Supt. Newbern of the Abbe
ville schools and former principal‘
of the F. H. S. was in our city
Thanksgiving day and shooki
hands with many of his former
pupils.
The flower seeds have been
planted. We expect to have
some fine flowers soon.

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who sufferers the
tortures of any aching back the
pains and dangers of kidney ills
will fail to heed the words of a
neighbor who has’ found relief,
Read what a Fitzgerald citizen says
Mus. Nellie Smith, 611 W. Oco
nee Ave., Fitzgerald, says: “Kor
years I suffered from kidney com
plaint and was weak and worn out.
My back became lame and I had
dull, nagging hackaches. 'T was
also bothered by dizzy spells and
dark spots floated before my eyes.
Doan’s Kidney Pills, whick I got
at Haile & Co.’s Drug Store,
strangthened my kidneys and re
lieved the lameness and backache.”
Over six vears later Mrs. Smith
said: ““1 have had httle kidney
trouble since giving my last en
dorsement.”
' Price 50c av all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Smith has twice publicly
recommended. Foster.Milburn Co,

: in a Maori Wooing HMHouse.
Among the Maoris sometimes in the
whare matoro (the wooing house), a
building in which the young of both
sexes assembled for play, songs.
dances, etc., there would be at stated
times a meeting. When the fires burn
ed low a girl would stand up in the
dark and say: “I love So-and-so. I
want him for my husband.” If he
coughed (sign of assent) or said *Yes”
it was well; if only dead silence she
covered her head with her robe and
was ashamed. This was not often, as
she generally had managed to ascer
tain, either by her own inquiry or by
sending a girl friend, if the proposal
was acceptable. On the other hand,
sometimes a mother would attend and
say, “I want So-and-so for my son.”
If not acceptable there was generally
mocking, and she was told to let the
young people have their house (the
wooing house) to themselves.
His Master Strole.
“George Ferguson,” said his wife,
looking with ecrushing scorn at the
gaudy rug he had bought at a special
sale, “I wonder if ever in your life you
knew a bargain when you saw it!”
The case was critical. Mr. Ferguson
saw that something bold and decisive
must be done, and his mind worked
quickly.
“Why, yes, Laura,” he said. “When
I wanted a wife I picked out the
nicest, sweetest little woman in the
whole world, and I got the best bar
gain any man ever got. There, there,
pet!”—Chicago Tribune.
Sitting In Judgment.
The admonition “judge not that ye
be not judged” is valid oply at those
rare times when we are feeling hum
ble and insignificant. On these rare
occasions we find the attitude, “Who
am I that I should pass judgment upon
my fellow men?’ But the normal at
titude is, “Who are my fellow men that
I should refrain from passing judg
ment upon them ?”’—Life.
Surprise All Around.
“Miss Gadders is full of conversa
tional surprises.”
“Just what do you mean by that?”
“You never know what she is going
to say.”
“Good heavens, man, she never knows
that herself!”—Birmingham Age-Her
ald.
A Problem.
Lecturer—Now, my dear friends, the
first duty of a teacher is to inoculate
his pupils with the love of learning.
Timid Teacher—But, sir, suppose it
wouldn’t take?—Baltimore American.
