Representative THE CITY BEAUTIFUL Fitzgerald has an almost nationwide reputation for being the prettiest city of its size in the South. It was laid out for beauty when the colonists of 1895 started hacking down pine trees to makesroom for homes and factories and office buildings. lew other cities have the symmetry of streets, the carefully saved park reserves and the neat “parklets” running down the middle of the main streets, Making ours a beautiful city will prove almost as strong an at traction to people o come and live here as are aur schools and our city water, light and power plant operated “of the people, Ly the peo ple and for the people.” And it can be made a beautiful city. Two measures of beautification are now strongly in the public eye. The Chrysanthemum Show of the Fitzgerald Woman’s Club will be Tuesday afternoon and evening at the home of Mrs. J. B. Wall. Chrysanthemums are beautiful and fragrant flowers. They thrive in this section as in no other. Think how beautiful Fitzgerald would be were there a bed of chrysanthemums in every front vard? Let us make Fitzgerald the “Chrysanthemum City of Georgia.” The Macon Chamber of Commerce and Macon Woman's Club are hoost ing the idea of “Macon, the Rose City of The South,” Chrysanthe mums are even prettier than roses. A bed of chrysanthemums in each of our little “parklets” on Main and Central and a bed in ecach front yard would impell immediate notice from tourists that motor through toward Flonda each tall and motor back each Spring. They would tell those “back home” about our flower city. It would help. » Taking the telephone poles and wires off the streets and con fining them to the alleys is another item of beautification that is] causing considerable comment. Of course we all want our .strcms, clean and pretty. | We all want our beautiful shade trees left/free to grow to per- | fect symmetry unhampered by unsightly electric wires and untouch- I ed by the lineman’s hatchet. But the poles are on the streets now and represent an investment of several thousand dollars. 1t \\'oulll! indeed be unfair to demand, by city ordinance or otherwise, that a | single corporation make such a liberal contribution to satisiy the | esthetism of Fitzgerald people. In the new franchise, which is the | most mooted question in official circles right now, some ]n"-)visiun! should and will probably be made for a gradual removal of telephone | poles from strects and alleys. It would evidently be unfarr to «lc—! mand any sweeping change. For more than twenty years the tele- | phone company, has had a legal right to put their poles and lines on | the streets with the right of way through trees and anything else We | want it to be otherwise from now on but over enthusiasm should nnti lead us to be unfair. i Especially at this periad in our section’s development snould | the idea of city improvement be stressed. This section is entering | upon or will soqn enter, ; period o greatest growth, A largt in-| flux of new people is coming southward and most of them to Georgia in response to the campaign of the Advertise Georgia nterprise, These people are going to live®in or near the most attractive com munity they can find. We want to-offer the farmers who will come an opportunity for coopertaive effort through a powerful Fargn Bu reau Federation, we want to offer townspeople a pretty and congen ial place in which o live. We want to improve our schools, whose | free text books and tuition will prove one of the best talking points | with which to “sell Fitzgerald to the homeseeker.” | SeG : | Newspaper dispatches tell us that “coal is in sight” But that's | a devil of a long way from being in the furnace.’ E Sl O | Some men are so pute of mind agd heart they can find nnthingl to talk about but the faults of others. A Thought for the Evening A VERSE AND A VIGNETTE By Dan G. Bickers . “COLUMBIA?” On viewing and reviewing our America of late There are some of us who candidly, unflinchingly will state That she doesn’t measure up to opportunities that rose And demanded recognition, that our counry kind o’ chose To evade her obligatio in a side-step sort o'way, Holding off and holding up the greatest project of the day. So I'm wondering and thinking: Back in fourteen ninety-two When Columbus was concluding, on the mighty, briny blue, His far-famous ocean voyage, if Le had a notion clear Of the kind of coming country he'd discovered over here— 1f he wasn't honest thinking that "twas India’s coral strand ‘He had sighted, where the “Indian’s gift” was common in the land! And I'm wondering, (if he's kept in touch with matters here of late), : If old Chris. is not quite reconciled to whims of freaky fate That robbed him of the honor of a continent which bears . In its name immortal tribute to thg man, who, scorning cares Had discovered it? Perhaps he gives hearty, grim “Ha, ha! AMERIGO was a bluffer—christen it: “America.” PAINTING A ROSE There was one who declared that Virtue was fair- That Virtue could not be improved. - Tillthat one saw Virtue in the person of a beantiful life.

If you suffer from backache, ' nervousness, sleepless, or any form ' of kidney ills, use a tested kidney ' medicine. A Fitzgerald citizen tells of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you demand more convinc ing proof of merit? Ask your neighbor! S. M. Garrett, section foreman, 605 Suwanee St. says: “My kidneys were in a bad condition and [ had rheum atic pains in my joints. My kidneys acted irregularly. My feet and limbs swelled and I could hardly keep go ing. 1 used Doan’s Kidney Pills as directed and they helped me won derfully. They relieved the rheu matic pains and other symptons of kidney complaint. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills are a splendid remedy. They are worthy of a trial by any. one having kidney trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr, Garrett had.
