Newspaper Page TextMONDAY WEDNESDAY FRIDAY Official : »can Ben Hill Count w 0 © ny o Fitzgeralo THANKSGIVING DAY ‘Turkey Day Marked by Bird Hunts, Football Victory, Dance UNIQN CHURCH SERVICE Misunderstanding Causes First Community Singing to Fall Thru Turkey Day in Fitzgerald was probably more thoroughly enjoyed by more folks yesterday than it has been in years, according to reports of those who had sufficiently recovered this morning from: the big eats to talk about it. The bing-bang of shot guns an nounced early yesterday morning that the bold huntsman had broken from his usual rut and was giving the unwary quail something to think about besides being thankful. It is reliably reported that the remaining quail in this county are holding their Thanksgiving day today in celebra tion of being alive. The Fitzgerald High School achieved its most decisive football victory in several years before a cheering crowd at the high school gridiron, driving through the fast eleven from McPhaul Institute, of Sylvester, for a score of 20 to 0. The local boys had won 19 to 0 at Syl vester last week but their playing vesterday wls better than anything they have previously displayed this season. ‘' The community singing that had been planned at the city hall park did not materialize because of a mis understanding about who was to lead. The Firemen had arranged chairs for the crowd and the stage was all set for a big vocal session. But no song leader appeared. A big bunch of kiddies made merry on the play ground, however, and passed the af ternoon noisily, if not tunefully, at play. The Fitzgerald Concert Band played its first official benefit dance at the Elks Club last night for sev eral dozen couples. Carloads of dancers from ncighl)oring;’ towns joined in the rythmic recreation. The band will play for a dance on each sacond and fourth Thursday from now on. The Elks Club floor has been secured by the band and the dances will be open to the public. The proceeds will go to help support the band. : Several “cane grind” parties were staged during the day and evening. Union church services were held at the Christian church during the evening and a large crowd heard an exceptionally powerful Thanksgiving Day address by Rev. J. F. Singleton of the First Baptist church. The union services ‘are held every Thanks giving Day under auspices of the Fitzgerald Ministerial Alliance and the congregations of all the churches attend. . . Thrift Contest Will Close On December 1 Prizes for Best Essays on Thrift Are Announced by Woman’s Club “Thrift developes the citizen, ex travagance the anarchist—thrift in other words, is a character builder,” says a prominent statesman. Is it not, then, befitting that the Fitzger ald Woman’s Club conduct a Thrift Contest to test the intelligence and patriotism of its people, particulariy its women? It scems befitting also, that we se lect judges from a group of women who have practiced thrift almost a lifctime, thrift of a type that we are in danger of forgetting, our grand mothers. “Let us see that thrift is taught the children in our schools,” says a prom incnt educator of today. “It may seem impractical at first, but even = M PIRE: ’ EVE SRt " = M P This 25 per cent Discount Sale Continues | EVERY item of merchandise the i ire Store except groceries at ONE-FOURTH OFF.

' in our own recollection the hygiene which is now so freely taught in our schools would have seemed equally as impractical.” “Thrift is not stinginess and does not require dowdiness, but it does re suire the intelligent use of all our re sources,” says Mrs. J.

M. Thirty-seven men representing the commercial apd agricultural interests of Ben Hill {(mmty have been called to meet at the Chamber of Com merce rooms at.2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon to map out a joint program { work for 1921 to be followed by the Fitzgerald Chamber of Commerce. and the Ben Hill County Farm Bu reau Federation. At the meeting yesterday afternoon of the county advisory board of the farm bureau committee of twenty-five farmers was picked to confer with the committee from the Chamber of Commerce named Wednesday. The tentative program suggested by the farm bureau is for the farmers to agree fo raise four staple cops in large quantities which the business men, through the Chamber of Commerce, will guarantee to market. The Farm Bureau committee is composed of Marion Dickson, H. H. James, R. H. Dorminey, W. R, Wal ker, L. Robitszch, Norman Dorminey, R. L. Stone, J. T. Rhett, J. A. Bond, S..S. Young, C. L. Prescott, J. Hot ton Taylor, A. J. Swords, D. D. Gar rison, J. H. Stewart, J. H. Dorminey, €. E. Owens; J. S. Roberts; B ‘T Dunn, J. H. Bullard, Dr. D. B. Ware, Dr. J. M. J. Luke, Y. M. Young and M. D. Fowler. The Chamber of Commerce com mittee is C. A. Newcomer, W. R, Bowen, W. A. Adams, J. J. Dormi, dey, G. ‘A. Jolly, J. C. Brewer, C. S. Isler, J. H. Mayes, Lon Dickey, W. T. Paulk, E. L. Dorminey and Isidor Gelders. The extent of active cooperation be tween the Chamber of Commerce and the farmers in the past has been in the pig club work. The Chamber of Commerce owns $5OO worth of regis tered swine which are distributed among pig club boys in the county on condition that one of each suc cessive litter be returned to the Chamber of Commerce for redistri bution. The same plan was tried by the Leader-Enterprise several years ago, before the boll weevil had struck this section, when it was conducting an editorial campaign to induce the farmers to raise more live stock in stead of all cotton. Mrs. Harry Rogers of Dawson is spending a few days here with rela tives and friends.
