A reporter for Leader-Enterprise, whose heart beats
“childward” at this season, especially, made Simons Bros. &
Co. (Santa’s Headquarters in Fitzgerald) a visit this
morning to see what the “Spirit of Remembrance” had
placed in reach of the people of this section this year. The
visit was one to be remembered. .
As we entered the store, Mr. Carl Simons greeted us
cordially—after the manner of this firm’s reputed hospi
tality, and we were shown a feast for our eyes. There we
saw many, many things for children, youths and grown
ups, but to enumerate all would require too much time
and space, so we will mention a few: Dolls, in all sizes
and variety; toys of every description, the Gibson and
Dennison line of post-cards, booklets, seals, tags, holly
boxes, decorative papers and novelties of all kinds; fancy
booklets, souvenirs, candies, tea sets, 5 and 10-cent toys by
hundreds, Indian and Cow Boy suits, foot balls, air rifles,
mechanical trains and toys of all descriptions, books and
games, toy furniture, drums, tool sets and benches,
trunks, pianos, “Mysto” erector sets, dishes fancy China
and glassware galore, fancy toilet and manicure sets, col
lar and cuff boxes, pictures, jewelry, fancy statuary, sta
tionery.
The reporter noticed that Simons Bros. & Co. have
held to the American line of Christmas goods as far as
possible, as at least two-thirds of the stock is made up of
American goods, which, he was told is much more dur
able and satisfactory than imported goods.
An early visit will give anyone the same pleasant im
pression we experienced; but later on, of course, the dis
play will not be so complete.
We suggest that buyers select as early as possible,
while “selecting is good.”

The local W. C. T. U. spent a
most enjoyable social hour with
Mrs. John B. Seanor Tuesday af
ternoon at her home on South
Main St. about forty ladies being
present,
Probably the most interesting
feature of the occasion was the
report of the State Convention,
given by Mrs. C. A. Holtzendorf
in her own charming and en
thusiastic manner.
The ladies were much elated
over prohibition victories being
constantly reported from every
quarter, and the fact that the
State Union has gained more
than a thousand members, and
the National Union more than
sixty thousand during the fiscal
year just closed.
The strength of this organiza
tion is seen and felt in the fact
that ten states have passed into
the “dry”’ column since the first
of January.
With Mrs. J. A. Murphy ac
companying at the piano, Mrs.
Louis A. Turner rendered an
impressive solo, “‘To the Res
eue‘"

CATHOLIC CHURCH DEDICA
» TION
The dedication and formal open
ing of St. William’s Catholic church
‘was the event of the week in Fitzger
ald. The church was beautifully
decorated, the whole of the sanctu
ary bemng covered with fancy rugs and
centerpieces, and the three altars
were gorgeous with the display of
lights and flowers. The -electric
lighting of the building was also ex
ceptionally fine,
Some time before the service of
the dedication began, crowds began
to gather, and by 8:30 a. m., the time
set for the dedication service, the
church was filled to overflowing, ev
ery available space in the church
proper and even in the choir gallery
being occupied. The Catholic people
were much gratified by the presence
of such a large number of their non-
Catholic friends and neighbors who
came to extend their congratulations
and good wishes.
At 8:30 the procession formed im
the sacristy of the church, and head
ed by a cross bearer and two aco
lytes, carrying lighted candles, pro
ceeded from the main altar to the en
trance of the church. Bishop Keiley
was the celebrant of this service, and
clad in metre and cope and carrying
the crozier, he walked in the pro
cession around the outside of the
church,reciting with the priests the
words of the 50th psalm, meanwhile
sprinkling the outer walls of the
edifice with holy water; when the
procession re-entered the church the
Litany of the saints was intoned, and
this was concluded when the bishop
reached the altar. The interior walls
of the church were then blessed in
a similar manner and the concluding
prayers of dedication were said.
This ceremony was followed imme
diately bya solemn High Mass, cele
brated by Rev. C. M. Reich,:gf ‘AI:
bany, who was assisted by Rev. John
Salter, S. J., of Augusta, as deacon,
and Rev. Ralph Herbert, S. M., of
Atlanta, as sub-deacon. Rev. Dan ]J.
McCarty, of Milledgeville, acted as
master of ceremonies. The music
of the mass was rendered by Messrs.
Geo. Kratzer, Alex Schmitz and Prof.
Setterich. Mrs. H. DeVald officiated
at the organ. At the conclusion of
the mass the English hymn, “Holy
God, We Praise Thy Name,” was
sung. The choir was assisted by
Rev. Anthony Meyer, O. S. 8., and
Rev. Jas. D. Mitchell, both of Savan
nah,
The sermon was preached by Bish
op Keiley, who presided at the mass
and gave the blessing at its close.
The bishop complimented the peo
ple of Fitzgerald on the attractive
churchbuilding erected in their city.
and paid a special compliment to the
zeal and interest of Father Schon
hardt, who warked so hard and dili
gently for its erection. He spoke of
the meaning of the church, «weferred
to its first establishment by Christ,
and said that the authoritative voice
of Peter and Paul and the other
apostles was always recognized as the
voice of Christ; and this voice speaks
in the world to-day through the
apostle’s successors, in the same
church with the same authority. He
spoke of the misrepresentations made
against the church from the very be
ginning, and urged his hearers to
come to the church and see and hear
for themselves what the church
stands for, and not go to her enemies
fortheir iaformation.
The following priests, besides other
visitors from Columbus, Savannah
and other places, were present at the
services:
Rt. Rev. Benj. J. Keiley, Bishop of
Savannah.
Rev. Jas. D. Mitchell, Savannah.
Rev. Anthony Meyer, O. S. B. Sa
vannah.
Rev. John D. McCarthy, Savannah.
Rev. Ralph Herbert, S. M. At

Rev. John M. Salter, S. J., Augusta.
Rev. P. H. McMahon, Augusta.
Rev. R. F. Kennedy, Atlanta.
Rev. C. M. Rich, Albany.
Rev. H. A. Schonhardt, Albany.
Quite a large number of the mem
bers of the church received holy com
munion at the early masses and even
a rew at the high mass.
Mass will be said regularly twice
a month in the new church from now
on,
