That Missing Word; Did You
Find it
There appears to be no abate
ment of the interest and enthusi
asm manifested in the Missing
Word Contest being conducted by
Zhe Enterprise. When we launched
this educational project we antici
pated only that the home readers
would evince interest therein and
that probably some of the readers
from out in the county would be
interested, but the fact is that near
ly every point in the county and
towns from adjoining counties have
representative contestants, and
this week wev'e received guessing
»upons from Macon to Valdosta.
.The missing word in the issue, of
the Ist, was “close” and was omit
ted from the advertisement of J. A.
Justice between the words “lots”
and “in.”
In this issue a word is omitted
from another advertisement in the
contest page, where also will be
found a cupon to be filled out and
returned to this office by time we
go to press at 2:30 p. m. Tuesday.
The missing word in this issue
Begins with “f” and ends with the
letter “r.”

tled tract 486 west of the city, in
the fall of 1895. The first colony

THRICE-A-WEEK
FITZGERALD, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1910.
On the night of December Ist
“The Ashton High School” was
burned to the ground entailing a
complete loss of $4OOO.
Early in the year 1910 the peo
ple of Ashton, Barnes and Troupe
school districts came together and
determined to consolidate their
one teacher schools into a complete
graded school. These people made
a sacrifice and subscribed land and
money for the new building; it was
finished and had been used for two
months. The people are not able
to rebuild and hence one hundred
Bishop Anderson’s Lecture
At the First Methodist Church
Bishop Wm. F. Anderson last night
addressed a large congregation.
His speech, or lecture was one of
the best we ever listened to. It was
timely, logical, beatiful in its phraze
ology and eloquently delivered. The
handsome speaker literally charmed
Lis hearers.
The lecture was full of the very
best thought and made a profound
impression on those who were for
tunate enough to hear it.
Bishop Anderson is a Virginian
by birth, was educated in Ohio and
spent a score of years in the minis
tery in New York state. He is an
old friend of Pastor Hammond of
the First Methodist Church and of a
most pleasing personality.
He will preach the noon-day ser
mon at the First Methodist Church
tomorrow.
To Oklahoma For Horses
Mr. J. L. Perry, is off to Oklaho
ma for another carload of horses
for Whitehead and Perry, stock
dealers.
Mr. Perry went to Oklahoma to
select the stock suitable for this
market and is expected some time
next week with a shipment of
horses which will be immediately
put on the market. - i
Fearful Loss
fifty children must suffer.
Qur county is young and has
been unable to lay up any surplus
for such emergencies, it ‘takes all
the money we get to employ teach
ers. The county is helpless as far
as its Educational Fund is concern
ed, hence any thing that is done for
the relief of these 150 children must
come from the outside. The C.S. C.
and Board of Education is making
an appeal for help. Will You Aid?
If so send your contribution at once
to R. J. Prentiss C. S. C., Ben Hill
Co., Fitzgerald, Ga.
Surprise Party
Tuesday evening the debutante
set gave a successful surprise on
Miss Iva Bea Rodgers.
The young people met at the home
of Mrs. Jones and then took Miss
Rodgers by surprise at her quiet
hone on South Lee St.
Miss Rodgers was totally surprised,
yet she met her friends within a
circle of smiles, as is her usual man
ner.
Misses Modena Powell and Rod3ers
rendered several piano solos, and
Mr. Phillips and Miss Rodgers sang
a duet, which was enjoyed very
much. Later in the evening fruit of
different kinds were enjoyed thru
Ithe thoughtfulness of the guest.
Those present were:
Misses Modena Powell, Pauline
and Irene Jones, Edna Bailey, Messrs.
Homer Phillips, Lawrence Glover,
Willie Harris, Roy Adams, Herman
!Martin.
‘my Boats Come Back to Me,” and
“The Raggedy Man,” Mrs. Daisy
ißrabham sang the old song so pop
" ular thirty years ago, “Silver Threads
'Among the Gold.” By request all
joined in singing “How Firm a
Foundation” and closed with, “God
Be With Us 'Till We Meet Again.”
Woman’s Club Meeting
“No snow falls lighter than the snow
of age:
But none heavier, for it never melts.”
The tribute paid to those upon
whom the “snow of age” has fallen,
by the Wonan’s Club last Wednes
day, was beautiful in sentiment and
delightful in the way it was carriedl
out. The day itself, Nov. 30, was
suitable, in as much as it was the
last day of the autumn season—
and significant of the closing years
of ones life.
In the year book this date is men
tioned as “Grandmother’'s Day.”
Of the thirty-eight guest present,
not »ll could claim this honor, or
even that of “mother” but all could
look back upon the departing years
as one who gazes on his home from
the deck of a departing ship, know
ing can never return.
The Relief Corps Hall, where the
entertainment was given was bright
with chrysanthemums, autumn
leaves and trailings vines, the cen
ter of the table from which the
luncheon was served having a pyra
mid of fruit and flowers with vines
reaching to the edges of the table.
Each place was marked with a card
‘bearing a quotation.
A delicious luncheon was served
by the club members, an entertain
ing program being enterspered be
tween the courses. Mrs. R J.
Prentiss gave the address of welcome
and read a few words of greeting
from the absent president, Mrs. J.
B. Wall, Mrs. Clark responded in
behalf of the guest and was followed
by short speeches from Mesdames
Covin, of Hogansville, Burkhart,
Collier, Lee and Green, Mrs. J. A.
Phillips asking a blessing on the
gathering, Mrs. W. A. Green gave an
instrumental solo, Miss Mary Lobin
gier sang “Annie Laura” in a way
to «charm the young as well as the
older ones present, Little Miss Mil
dred Tisdel told what happened
