Are You Wasting The Price
@ e
Of a Titan Engine?
: I 'ITAN engines run on kerosene.
Average cost of gasoline so far this year,
16.9 cents per gallon.
Average cost of kerosene 7.7 cents per gallon.
Gasoline costs over 100 per cent more than kero
sene. Gasoline is going up steadily. Kerosene is not.
At present fuel prices Titan engiftes, using kero
sene, save their owners about 1.1 cents per horse power
per hour.
. Are you running a gasoline engine? What horse power is
it? Figure what you’d be saving if you had a Titan kerosene
engine. ‘Rather surprising, isn’t it? How long would it take
that saving to pay for a Titan engine of the same size?

THREE YOUNG FELLOWS
FROM YORK STATE
Three “Good Roads” hoosters
from New York passed through
the city Saturday from Crescent
City, Fla., en route to their home
in Madison county, New York,
with the bull dog. They were
about the likeliest bunch of Cen
tral Dixie Highway enthusiasts
that has passed our way. The
roads and the people left a good
impression on the bunch and the
cheerful disposition of the three
even made a kind expression
show itself on the face of the fe
rocious bull dog, which they evi
dently, carried along for protec
tion of th* camp when night over
takes th¥m in the woods.
C. W. Darcey, J. F. Carpenter
and T, R. Carpenter made up the
‘party. Their hothe is in Cazen
ovia, N. Y., and they sing the
praises of the Central Route
among the tourists for the next
season. We'll look for them next
year on their way down and kill
the fatted calf when they arrive.

EPWORTH LEAGUERS TO
FIGHT CIGARETTES
At the night services of the
Epworth lLeague Sunday a
movement was put forth that no
doubt will mean much to our
boys and voung men of this city
and community.
The following resolution was
presented to the Epworthians of
the ‘First M. E. church by their
President, Mr. A. B. Brown, and
adopted by a unanimous vote.
“Inasmuch as the cigarette hab
it is considered one of the great
est foes to our boys and young
men, stunting growth, and hind
ering development of mind, and
causing crime,
“Be it Resolved, That we as a
body of young peopie declare war
against this gigantic evil and use
our influence in e¢very possible
way to discourage its manufac
ture, sale and use and lend a
helping hand to those held by its
awful grip.’.’
Mr. Brown was invited to pre
sent the same proposition®to the
Epworthians of the £entral M. I.
church, which he did in a very
earnest manner. After which Mr.
Lorin Dickéerson presented it to
the membgrs, making a most for
cible talk against, not only the
cigarctte, but against tobacco in
other forms. . .
The resolution was adopted
and, steps .will be taken to make
its influence felt throughout the

THE LEADER ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, WEDNES DAY, MAY 10, 1916,
S ———
LYNNWOOD SCHOOL HAS
CLOSED FOR THIS TERM
.
Friday, May 5, was closing day
at Lynnwood school and was fit
tingly observed by boeh pupils
and patrons.
By 10:30 a large number of pa
trons had gathered and all as
sembled in the auditorium where
a very interesting little program
was rendered by the pupilg of
Miss McCall, Miss Hullihen and
Miss Shafer, who have taught the
first six grades during the term.
The program, while not an elab
orate one, was very practical and
showed just the work that these
chree splendid teachers have been
carrying on during the term, and
they, both teachers and pupils are
to be commended upon their ex
cellent work.
At the close of the program
Miss Hullihen made a short talk
upon the importance of punctal
ity and regularity of attendance,
after which she introduced to the
audience Master Gene Ridge
(second grade) and Master Frank
Louthan (sixth grade) who have
neither missed a day nor been
tardy during the school term. She
then delivered to them honorary
certificateg of attendance. Miss
Agnes Louthan, (third grade)
Master liffie Osborne (second
grade) and Master Otis Oaborne
(third grade) also received at
tendance certificates for having
been neither absent nor tardy
during the first six months of
the term.
~ Both pupils and teacherg are to
be envied for this splendid out
look, and such speaks well for
Lynnwoaod school.
After the basket dinner served
by the ladies in the grove ncar
the school the crowd again as
sembled in the auditorium where
J. L. Pittman, the county farm
demonstration agent gave a very
valuable and interesting talk.
The patrong of the school learn
with much regret that they. are
to lose all three of /these lady
teachers who have so endeared
themselves to both large and
small. ‘
Miss Shafer and Miss Hullihen
have been with the school for five
and four years respectively, and
have proven themselves of inval
uable merit to the schools, and
both by their kind care and lov
ing hearts have endeared them
selves to all the pupils in such a
way that time can never efface
the good they have accomplish
ed.
Miss McCall, while having been
with us only one year, has prov
en herself of inestimable value to
the school and the pupils are un
consolable over the fact that nei
ther of the three will return to
Lynnwood. :
Mis Shafer, we understand, will
not teach at all during the next
year but will spend the summer
at Athens at the University Sum
mer School.
Miss McCall also intends at
tending school at Athens, but has
not' definitely settled her plan of
work for the coming year.
Miss Hullihen, we learn, will
leave at once for Thayer, Mo,
and we'understand she is to teach
“Primary Language and Story
telling” in the summer school at
Mammoth Springs, Ark., begin
ning May 22. She will teach al
so in Missouri for the coming
year. Misg Hullihen is to be con
gratulated upon securing her po
sition, for the summer, and ‘it
speaks well of her ability and
worth as a teacher. In losing her
Ben Hill county loses one of her
nest teachers.
The best wishes of the patrons
and the love of the pupils will go
with them all wherever they may
go, and they will always be well
remembered by all who knew
them.
CITY SCHOOL EXHIBIT
The annual exhibit of the City
School work will be at the Car

Attention Farmers and Business Men of Ben Hill and Adjoining Counties
The boll weevil in the last day or two has been discovered in
near-by counties. The most important thing for us to do at once is
to inform ourselves how to fight this On-coming enemy of the cotton
industry. S
A few days ago our President, Mr. Wm. R, Bowen, our Vice_-Presi
dent, Mr. J. E. Turner, and Mr. Isidor Gelders, Editor of the wide—
awake progressive Leader-Enterprise, heard a debate in the Eleventh
Distriot Agricultural College on the subject of the 801 l Weevil.
We were never more convincsd of alything than this: that all people
right thruhere ought to know about the 801 l Weevil just the very things
we heard in that debate. We were convinced that, if our people
do not prepare for his immediate coming, these people will be in
that same unbearable financial embarrassment that has overcome
others west of us as he approached them. ;
For this reason, The Exchange National Bank has arranged to
have this same debate held at our Court House next Thursday evening
at eight o'clock. The debate will throw a flood of light on the
fact of disaster where the 801 l Weevil hes been, and will also show
us clearly what we must, we say, we MUST, do ourselves in preparing
to meet him.
%We are arranging this debate because the success of this bank
depends upon the success of the farmers and the business men, -and
because the success of farmers and business men depend, in turn, on
whether the farmers are wise enough to get ready by changing their
methods to fight off the unhappy stress of financial disaster.
So this meeting which this bank has engaged is for the good of
our entire community and we believe no farmer can afford to stay
away from the Court House Thursday evening, May 11lth, No charges
whatever for admission.
This debate was held at the Eleventh District Agricultural Col
lege, and at the Fifth Distriet Agricultural College, and also at
the State Agricultural College, Athens, and has attracted state-wide
attention. These debaters, which we have engaged, won every con
test in these three places.
It is unusual that a banking institution brings into the com
munity such an undertaking as this, and the fact that the under
taking is so unusual of itself ought to attract the most unusually
large crowd of farmers and business men.
We will have several Jjudges elected for this debate from among
our farmers, business men and professional men.
The ladies are cordially invited and a special invitation is
extended to the young men of our schools who are interested in the
matter of debating, as there is very much merit displayed by these
dsbaters.
The whole undertaking is perfectly free to all, and if attended
largely, will redound in great good to all.
THE EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK.
IN MEMORY OF
JENNIE BRYANT
Near the close of a winter’s day
She sweetly passed from earth
away;
While she rests beneath the sod
Her gentle spirit lies with God.
On the 7th day of January 1916,
Miss Jennie Bryant calmly and
gently closed her eyes in death to
open them in the great beyond, to
behold the glory of the spirit
world. "
She was born July 1, 1877. She
was a member of the Baptist
church, at Arbor, near Fitzgerald.
She was conscious to the last
and wag ready for the Master’s
call, and left this testimony, "I‘
am_ready.to go.” Oh, " what a!
triumphant death. May we, too,
be ready when the summon |
comes to plume our wings: and,
soar away with God and. the hulyf!
angels. Ly 4
Gentle sister, thou hast left ug '
Here thy loss we deeply feel t
But 'tis God that hath bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.

Of the Real Functions of An
Eifective Medicine
BY THE NUXCARA COMPANY
It has been a source of general won
der how the many different forms of
stomach trouble can be successfully
treated with the same remedy. Hence
this word of explanation., Medicine w:ll
not cure stomach trouble or any other
disease. Yourown healng force must
restore the diseascd orgaa te healthful
ness. A medicine of rez] worth serves
the single function of producing condi
ticns in which yeur healine force may
be unhindered.
For 15 years the Nuxcara treatment,
based on this logical principle, has had
complete success in the treatment of all
