VARIOUS REPORTS UP-TO-DATE.
The organization of Die Fitzgerald
Publishing Company has attracted the
attention of some of the local press—pa
pers of Fitzgerald and vicinity.
The different statements’conflict to
some exteut. The reader will find the
truth of the matter in another column.
The following was taken from the
Atlanta Journal by the O'eiUa Dispatch,
and commented'upon by Siunc:
“Fitzgerald, Ga., Aug 28.—The
Fitkgerald Publishing Corn pi/ny/was
organized, temporarily, on FTid.ay, the
25th inst., by electing F. S, Bauder
president; J. H. Harley, secretary and
treasurer, and tlie following board
directors; J. IE,Clements. D. B. Jay,
M. benderson, Ed. Smith and Marion
Dixoi], J. E. Mercer .as .elected
editor.
“This company has pu .flruacd the
Ouill.a Dispatch and the L in County
News, uow published at ■ and the
Leader oulliit $t tliis piano. The brick
building on Central Avenue was pur¬
chased at two thousand dollars, and
will be the the home of a paper to be
named next Friday. Some of the
wealthiest and mo=t influential citizens
of the county are among the stockhold¬
ers, and considerable capital is interest
ad, and success will bo the natural
result of good business management.
“This company will publish a'pa per
at this place and one at Ociiia.
“Dating almost from the birth of
this colony there has existed a spirit of
riyailry and' ill-feeling between Fitz¬
gerald and other section* of the county,
which has worked much harm. This
feeling ran high during the court
house campaign. A better feeling now
exists, and tbe paramount object of This
of t Ms organization ib to unite the
goodftfeople of Irwin county for her
continued progress and prosperity.”
“The above publication is premature,
as have been other publications in re¬
gard to newspaper changes in this
county. That such a deal as is men¬
tioned is in contemplation is correct,
and it is also true that a temporary
organization has been made; but the
publication of these facts is permature
and should have been kept out of print
until a permanent organization had
been effected and titles passed to the
property. Up to to this time nothing
has been done toward winding up the
old business of the Dispatch, and un¬
til this is done and other preliminaries
attended to, the paper cannot * be
merged into the new company. In
other words, Ukj Dispatch wants the
change made in a business-like way,
or not at all. Another correction may
well be made here. There will be
no ‘‘Fitzgerald- Publishing Company”
organized now or at any other time,
with the Dispatch as a party thereto.
“The Fitzgerald correspondent of the
Atlanta Journal ought to know that
there will.be no ‘‘Fitzgerald Publish¬
ing Company.” Tberp may be an “Ir¬
win Qounty Publishing Company.”
The Fitzgerald Enterprise, of Friday,
September 2nd, says: “La»t week Bur
ton & Son sold the Leader outfit to the
Fitzgerald PublishingUompqny, which
is made up of leading men of this city
and county, Rumor has it that they
have also purchased tbeOcilla Dispatch
and the Irwin County News, at Ociiia,
and will consolidate them. The. Citizen
has already traded presses with the
Reader and bought their name and

“On last Tuesday the Leader plant
was moved lo the Bauder brick or old

Leader o.utfit is now the property of
the Fitzgerald Publishing Company.
We understand this company has pur¬
chased the Ociiia Dispatch and intend
to put in a full complete publishing
hpuse and book bindery here in this
city. The Dispatch we believe is to
remain at Qcilla. The following -offi¬
cers were elected temporarily:
“F S. Bauder, president; J. E, Mer¬

Irwinville; Bauder and Rawest, and a
