LETS GET THE GEORGIA GLEE CLUB HERE
Fitzgerald alumni of the University of Georgia are making an
effort to get the University of Georgia Glee Club and Mandolin
Club to place Fitzgerald on their itinerary during the annual two
weeks road trip in March and if they are successful, the club will
play at the Grand Opera House one night next month.
The Georgia Glee and Mandolin Club for many years past has’
made an annual road trip visiting ten of the larger cities in Georgia,
Florida and Alabama. The cities included on its itinerary are care
tully selected by the students in charge of the Club with a view of
playing in the communities where they think the best prospects are
for stimulating attendance at the colleges and universities of the
South ; where there are the most college men and women who will
enjoy a little after-taste of the sweets of college life, where the audi
ences may be the most expected to strike a high average type, and
with other considerations not connected with mercenary gain, |
The Glee and Mandolin Clubs of all colleges and universities
are organized not to make money but to stimulate interest in the
colleges. livery feature in the scintillating and original ptograms
of a college musical and amusement organization is put there be
cause it is of a character that will leave a good impression on those
who enjoy it. Out of the two-thousand students at the University
of Georgia, the forty five young men and women who can best please
an audience are selected to take the road trip. As an amusement per
se, it is delightful; its effect is always for the good; and because of
gne tact that .only a_ selected list of towns and cities
is placed on the itinerary, a certain measure of prestage goes to cach
city in which the Club plays.
Fitzgerald should give the Club a big reception if it can be
brought to Fitzgerald, and should make such a “hit” with the Club
that 1t will return every year, :
“INVESTING IN GEORGIA MANHOOY”
Says the Tifton Gazette in a forceful editorial appeal for better
support of our state’s institutions of higher education:
We boast fondly of Georgia’s vast resources and point
proudly to the great development of its industries. But too
often we forget the greatest of all, the State’s young man
hood, and because we forget, little is done for its develop
ment. Yet what shall it profit us, if we have a factory at
every cross-roads, a mine on every mountain-side; an or
chard on every hill-slope ; a farm in every valley and grazing
heards on every plain, if the educated brain and trained hand
to airect the lactory, superintend the mine, care for the
stock and cultivate the farm comes from other states and
other sections while our owg sons must fill thos¢ menial
positions which remain fm’u(hc untrained and little edu
cated?
Editor Herring continues at length in an effective argument
for better higher educational facilities and opportunities for Georgia
young men and young women. The Leader-Enterprise is heart
ily in sympathy with the subject and believes that one of the most
regrettable effects of the state government’s continued poverty is
the meager appropriations possible for its colleges and university.
There is another phase to that appeal for better developed man
hood, however, and one that strikes home to Fitzgerald directly
this week. It is unfortunately true that every young man cannot
go to college. His “higher education” must be in the school of ex
perience. The hazing, and the penalties for low grades are more
rigorous and the reward for good scholarship in that school is more
satisfyingly great than in any chartered university. But, as a rule,
the “faculty,” the teaching staff, is careless, almost reckless, and the
student in the University of Experience, the schcol of Hard Knocks,
is often hard pressed to find a teacher in whom he can rely, a
“study room” in which he can find sympathetic assistance. The Y.
M. C. A. offers that help which is so much needed by the matriculate
in the Unerversity of Experience as no other institution can.
The board of managers of the Young Men's Recreation:Center,
the Community Service Council, the Rebekahs, and other local or
organizations are co-operating to place an institution of that kind on
a sound footing in Fitzgerald. The Father’s and Son’s banquet at
the Odd Fellows Hall Friday evening will be the most impogtant
event in the program of the Center. If the banquet is largely atten
ded and the project sympathetically received, it will mean much for
the boys and young men of Fitzgerald now and in time to come.
If the banquet is not a success, if the men at the banquet are apa
thetic, if they don’t care to help the youngsters in school and out of
school to get an opportunity for wholesome, healthful, body, mind
and soul building enjoyment, then the project is slated to tread a
rocky road.
The Y. M. R. C. is the cocoon from which can be spun an end
less silken strand of understanding sympathy and helpfulness be
tween the boys who were and the boys who are and are to be. Let's
make it so.
“THERE ARE LIVES ONES HERE” -
Under the heading “There Are Live Ones Here,” the Moultrie
Observer has the following to say:
: “We have heard that money is scarce” admits The
Moultrie Observer. “It is too scarce to be fooled away for
something that is not worth while, or to be spent with a firm
that is not hustling for it,” continues the editor. “The kind
of money in circulation now is not fooling with dead ones.
It is attracted by live propositions only. You can get it
with the right bait.”
And the advertising columns of the Moultrie Observer
indicate that there are lots of “live ones” in Moultrie.—Fitz
gerald Leader-Fnterprise.
Our neighbor is correct. »
. The advertising columns of The Observer tell the story of bus
mess as it is done in Moultrie.
We have some “live ones.”
They are not waiting for business to get normal, they are trying
to make it normal.
We know that some of our advertisers are succceding in making
their business normal. ¢
. There are other advertisers who do not expect the greatest re
sults they have ever had from advertising, but they feel the pull of
the advertising.
. Observer readers are watching the advertising columns.
They are looking for bargains more closely than they ever look
ed before.
Now that we are just on the turn of the seasons, the newspaper
readers are reading the advertisements with more than usual interest,
New articles of merchandise are coming on the market. New styles
and new prices. The stores that have a frequent message to news
paper readers can feel the heart-beats of trade. The store without a
~Message is a trap, and the manager sits in seclusion waiting for grav
ity to bring down something.
, Yes, we have live ones. A ‘
- Moultrie is not retrenching.
. Mouitrie boosters are not retreating. )
The flag will be nailed l;ighci'r up than it has ever been before.

W. F. Dennis, 203 Lyerly St. Chat
tanooga, Tenn., formerly of Mobile,
Ala.. makes an interesting statement
regarding Tanlac.
“It certainly was lucky for me,”
said Mr. Dennis, “that I got hold of
Tanlac when 1 did, for I was just
about down and out. Off and on for
three years I have been down with
malaria. For ten months on one oc
casion was confined to the house
most of the time. -
“As I usually spent my winter ni

tired all the time and had pains in my
stomach that were completely upset

along with other complication, slept
very little and got up mornings nearly
exhausted. In fact, I was just about
‘all in’ and kept getting worse.
~ “Five weeks ago I got Tanlac and
and my appetite picked up with my

sleep all night and felt like a new man.
I cat any kind of food set before me
