FRIDAY, OCTOBER U7, 1899.
HELP THE ORPHANS.
Something Should be Done
Immediately.
To the Friend of the Orphans—Dear
1 Friend: In one South Georgia orphans’
! home, in Vineville, near Macon, we
have cared for 1,500 orphans in the
thirty years of the existence of that
institution.
We have now in the home eighty-five,
which is the utmost capacity of the
present building. Then there are sev¬
enteen little helpless ones now knock¬
ing at our door and no room within.
Shall we turn them off into the -cold
world without a friend, and have it said
of us in the judgement: “I was hungry,
and ye gave no meat: I was thirsty and
ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger,
end ye took me not in; naked, and ye
clothed me not; sick and in prison, and
yo visited me not. * * * Verily I
say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not
to one of the least of these, ye did it not
1,0 me ’
’
Only a small sum from each one who
feels an interest wonld put up the build¬
ing needed to take care of these poor
little wanderers. Five thousand dollars
would be sufficient for the present
needs. Shall we not give it?
Brother, sister, write me at either
Macon or McRae, or better still, send
on your contribution at once and let us
make provision for these poor little
ones ere the cold winter comes and some
of them suffer 'muclv or even die of
hunger and cold. IV. A. Huckabee.
Fitzgerald ought to contribute at
least ten dollars to this worthy cause,
and the Enterprise will head the list
with $1. We want nine more subscrip¬
tions of one dollar each by next issue
of this paper. We will publish the
list and remit the amount raised next
Friday.
The Legislature Meets.
The Georgia Legislature convened
in Atlanta Wednesday morning. Gov
ernor Candler’s message was the most
remarkable document of the kind any
legislature has read for yearsr The
general tone of which is very gnRify
ing to the Enterprise. It shows be¬
yond doubt the pourage of the man
that wrote it. The titles of tiie hills
introduced indicate that there are
others (not other hills but others with
courage.)
The Enterprise will give every week
a record of important measures intro¬
duced, and, as a rule, express its
views for or against all hills of general
iufcfcsest.

Three good suggestions to Irwin
county farmers: Ijo your trading
with Fitzgerald merchants; sell your
cotton and other produce in the same
market; subscribe for the Enterprise.
Cotton is still pouring into Fitzger¬

The time will come when pieces of

We can only say it will be when man
has reached a hig her civilization than
what we now have. It may be 100 years,
it may be 10.000, but it is coming none
the less. We will ever be far from
perfect till It does come.—Coming Na¬
