L. Steele, bacteriologist at the Fitzgerald Hocs pital, showed that the water was 100 per cent pure, according to statement by Mr. Steele today. One sample was taken from the well, another ffBm the reservoir and a third from a hydrant at the hos pital, All three were found free from germs after the most exhaustive tests that could be made with the elabor ate equipment of the Fitzgerald hos pital. ! : A’ question as to the purity of ‘Fitz gerald water was raised by the A. B. & A. railroad in regard to its use by the railroad. Dr. L. S. Osborne, city’s health officer, had samples ex amined by experts of the state health department. They found the water wholesome and Mr. Steele’s tests confirm the state reports. Fitzgerald artesian water is as pure as any in the world and its healthful ness is one factor that contributes to Fitzgerald’s unusually low death rate, Dublin Hi Wins Over Fitzgerald With Justice Out of . Line-Up ‘Team Comes to .Grief in Dublin DUBLIN, Ga., Nov. 13.—Dublin High School outplayed Fitzgerald High School here Friday afternoon, winning, 41 to 0, making the second consecutive, game that Dublin has won from Fitzgerald this season. - Fitzgerald outweighed Dublin, but her teamwork was poor, and although ‘some good gains were made by Whit ley, fullback, breaking through Dub lin’s line, they were not supported ‘'well and the visitors did not score. Dublin’s teamwork was unusually steady and this went a long way to ward winning. The Line Up. Dublin Position Fitzgeraid. Slater coo . i G REgEeE) J. B. Smith _____R. G.w-____Stovall Jackson ........

Ben Hill, Crisp, Telfair and Wil cox Released in New Govern ment Order Good Progress Being Made All Over South Responsible For New Regulation™ Ben Hill, Crisp, Telfair and Wil cox counties are among the counties in the 32,171 square mties of. terri- tory in the South that is released | from cattle tick quarantine in a new| order issued by the Umnited St;-.h--.' Department o 7 Agriculture, effective | on ecember lst, it bacame l\nn\\'n! here today. In Georgia the iollowing counties are released from cattle tick quaran tine: Baker, Ben Hill, Bleckley, Bul loch, Crisp, Decatur, Dodge,' Dooly,l Evans, Glascock, Laurens, Macon, Pulaski, Seminole, Taylor, Telfair, and Wilcox. The revised quarantine shows that work - against the cattle tick general-‘ ly is progressing very’ successfully.i Failure of local authorities, however, to cooperate with State and Federal officials in “mopping up” their sec-l tions is responsible for many districts still being held under quarantine which. would otherwise be released. It is expected, however, that by next year such cooperation will be secured that a much more substantial area will be freed from quarantine, UNITY LODGE K. OF P.

All the leading merchants of the city are expected to enlist in the maove ment for bigger Fitugerald business. ke coming holidav season is gen oy expeeted to he a dull one he fwte of tight monssy onli-iyis re sulting from low cotton. For that reason the usual intensive holiday advertising is not counted upon to iproduce the usual big results. More iextensive advertising must be done to produce results and the Leader- Enterprise proposes to enable that sort of advertising to be ‘done thru its columns. ¢ If the usual six thousand people who shop in Fitzgerald on Christmas are planning to spend only two thirds as much this year as last year, Fitdgerald merchants reason that they must attract three thousand more lshoppors in order to make returns !the same, or greater. To get these the trading radius of the city must be chtvndml to include territory hitherto | untouched, James Paulk Plans Big Poultry Farm To Raise Chickens in Georgia Instead of Oranges in Florida Mr. James Paulk purchased eighty acres of highly improved farm land from Red Village farm, the home of. the Spotted Poland China pigs, and contemplates to establish one of the largest pouitry farms in the state.

Dorminey, President of the First National Bank, but will oversee his Poultry farm, wkich will be in charge of an expert poultry man.
