Enthusiasm In The
Enternrise Contest
Locating the missing word in the
advertising contest which the Enter
prise is conducting proved an easy
task for contestants in the initial is-
Jhue of the 29tn inst., but a number
also missed it. Coupons have pour
ed into the Enterprise office the
past two days thereby evincing
widespread interest in this novel
and educational contest. Evident
ly the entire lot of 30 advertisements
have been carefully read and the
business of the advertisers brought
prominently before the notice of
people who were scarcely aware
_ that some of the firms this repre
s‘ented were in existence.
If anything were needed to prove
that we have a “premium circula
tion” and that it covers this terri
tory like the dew, the result in this
contest furnished the proof conclu
clusive.
The missing word in the issue of
Tuesday, the 29th, was “Finest,” and
was ommitted from the advertise
ment of Central Meat Market, be
tween the words “The” and “Cuts.”
» In this issue a word is omitted
from another advertisment on the
contest page. We ourselves confess
some curiosity to know how many
expert guessers will name tUe right
word in all the issues. It is not go
ing to be so easy as it was in the
last two. The contest has eighteen
issues to run so that there is ample
time for new contestants to win or
lose the prizes. :
The missing word in this issue
begins with “C” and ends with “e”,
. If you find it, fill out the coupon
found on the contest page and for
ward to the Enterprise office. Only
two days from date of coupon is
allowed in which to deposit same,
as the cotrect word will be - publish

,the joys which the near future holds

It is said to have many virtues.
Among other things it burns with
out smell or smoke, its cost is two
thirds that of the liquid, eliminates
the use of a carburetor, is safely
portable in a wooden box or even
wrapped into paper; affords complete
¢&mbustion: is of greater smoothness
than the liquid, will develop great
er power and is easily convertible
into liquid. It may be used for ship
engines, lamps and other purpose.

cided to erect a memorial window in
the new Episcopal church to the

Monuments To The
Women of the Confederacy
It has been decided to set aside a
day in the Fall, to be selected later
as Monument Day for the State, as
has been or will be arranged for
most of the other States of the
South. On that day appropriate
Souvenir Tags will be disposed of,
so that every man and boy may
have the chance to contribute as
they may feel able and wish, and
thus take part in this tribute to cur
splendid womanhood. The funds
so raised will be used for the erec
tion in this State of a monument
to our glorious women of the Con
federacy. The plan has been pro
posed by the Confederate Women'’s
Monuments Committee, and will
have the assistance of the Veterans,
Daughters and the Governor of the
State.
Next Saturday has been adopted
as the day “tag day” in Fitzgerald
by the good ladies having the work
in hand. 7

Big Meeting at Court House

BER OF THEM.
Fitzgerald today will decide for herself whether she shall grow or
go backwards. A
Business men from a half dozen South Georgia towns gathered here
this morning for the purpose of settling the question of building another

Chairman of the meeting.

meeting had been called for the pur
pose of considering the matter of
extending the Ocilla Southern Rail
road to Fitzgerald, Rochelle and
North and to Nashville, Adel or
other points South, and introduced
Mr. J. A. J. Henderson, President of
the Ocilla Southern Railroad who
explained at some length how the
proposed line could be built by the
formation of a construction compa
ny, without loss on the part of any
investor or subscriber to the stock
of said construction company,
avoiding the usual plans by which
the original subscribers have some
times, in the past, lost the amount
of their subseriptions to railroad
stock.: He called attention to the
fact that the line would be a paying
one from the start and that it would
promote the development of one of
the most promising sections of Geor
gia or the South.

COLD WAVE IS ON;
WATCH THE PIPES
Temperature May Linger a Eit
Below Freezing. |
The day of the plumber is at hand.
The cold wave has come, and it
will be here for the remainder of ‘
of the week, according to Weather
Observer von Herrmann. |
And it is a good time to protect
the water pipes. |
The onset of winter began Monday
morning, when the mercury took
the downward slide on account of a
storm which cut up capers on the
north Atlantic coast and caused an
influx of cold air from the northwest.
At the weather bureau the opin
ion was prevalent Tuesday that
‘with the passing of this storm
‘another comparatively warm wave
}would dominate this section of the
icountry for at least a week or so.
~ But this particular storm, as all
storms will at times, upset all the
dope, kicked out of the traces and
hiked off up the coast to Nova
Scotia, and thereby hangs this tale.
SOME REAL COLD WEATHER.
The lowest temperature Wednes
day night was 28 degrees, and prac
tically the same temperature will be
‘maintained throughout Thursday.
%Tbe weather man figures that the
rest of the week will be cold.
