Nashville Goes After Ocilla Southern.
Does Nashville want the Ocilla
Southern?
Well you'd a-thought so if you
had attended the mass meeting at
the courthouse Wednesday night.
It was the lardest mass meeting
ever held in the town, and while city
politics were seething and threaten
ing to boil over yet the crowd
warmed up to the railroad proposi
tion until everybody forgot that a
mayor and three aldermen were to
be selected.
Mayor R. A. Hendricks was made
chairman and Editor Albert Sweat
served as secretary. Mayor Hen
dricks stated the object of the meet
ing. Somebody proposed that we
start a subscription list, and after a
few hot talks that was done. Fol
lowing is the list of subscribers to
the railroad stock; others will be add
ed as fast as they can be seen:

Following is a list of delegates ap
pointed to attend the meeting at
Fitzgrrald Thursday: W. P. Tittle,
J. W. Sirmans, W. B. Goodman,
Albert Sweat, Dr. P. H. Askew

LATER—Nashville had the big
gest delegation at the railroad meet
ing yesterday. Sixteen boosters
went from here in automobiles, leav
ing at nine o’clock and making the
run-of forty miles in just one hour
and forty minutes. We have noth
ing definite to report from the meet
ing . A construction company cap
italized at $lOO,OOO is to be formed
to contract with Mr. Henderson for
the constructiou of the road. An
other meeting will be held in Fitz
gerald on Friday Dec. 9th, at which
definite plans will be proposed. The
Nashville bunch feel sure of getting
the road, but, of course, nothing pos
itive can be given out now.
It seems to be Mr. Henderson’s
plan to build the link from Ocilla to
Fitzgerald first. However, we hope
to see work begun on the Alapaha
and Nashville link within a few
months. Nashville wants the road
and is determined to putforth every
reasonable effort to get it. We
havn't seen eur people so enthused
over a proposition in a long time.
It's the old-time Nashville spirit
come to life again. If there is a
croaker or knocker on this proposi
tion in the town we have not heard
or seen him.
’ Here's a concrete fact: If Nashville
gets this road we will get others.
‘We need never fear that any rail
!road headed this way will fail to
pull for our town. Nashville will
be as good a railroad center as
Tifton, and will have three thous
and population in two years time. *
: City Court
Judge Wall, of the City Court, is
buckling down to business this week
in an effort to clear the large dock
et that faced him at the beginning
of last week, and may find it neces
sary to hold and adjourned term of
the court for that purpose.

New Furniture Store
P .J. Dell and son are opening up
a new furniture store on East Pine
street in one of the stores of the
new brick block just finished by Dr.
Griffin. We wish the new merchants
success.
Mr. Dobbin Holmes was a recent
visitor to the city from Cordele.
Ashton Schoo! Ts Open Mox
day.
Ashton High School will re-opon
Monday next, in three large tents
which were ordered by telegraph
today.
County School Commissionen
Prentiss was authorized this morn
ing by the school meeting held at
the courthouse to order the tents
and the trustees of the school will
prepare for for the re-opening of
the schools Monday. )
Prof. Tanner, principal of the
school, was present at the meeting
and was greatly pleased at the pros
pect of beginning work so soon after
the fire.
The patrons of the school will
have the balance of the week to
provide new books in place of those
detsroyed by the fire. |
The tents will be made comfort
able and provided with chairs of
the same character as those burned
and the school will be really well
housed and equipped and, not with
standing the fact that the tents will
be in use in the very midst of win
ter they can be made perfectly com
fortable.
The Railroad Meeting
Do not forget the Railroad meet
ing next Friday at the County Court
House 10 a. m.
‘ Business men should arrange their
‘engagements so as to be present on
} that important® occasion.
Johnnie Fohl Seriously
Wounded Saturday.
Johnie K. Fohl, the ten year old
son of Bernie A. Fohl while out
hunting Saturday afterioon acciden
tly shot himself, and so serious was
the wound that at first it was fear
ed that it would prove fatal.
A ball from a 22 Winchester rifle
penetrated the stomach about five
inches from the heart and has not
been located.
The lad, it seems, carelessly lean
ed the gun against his body when‘
something touched the trigger; with
the result as stated. The accident
occured about three o’clock Satur
day aftertoon while in the woods
with companions.
Dr. Russsll is tending the case and
reports that his patient is doing
nicely up to this time.
Johnie is the only son of Mr.
Fohl who has the sympathy of his
friends and neighbors.
Interestln Contest Increases
The Missing Word Contest grows
more interesting with each issue.
Special delivery letters from a dis
tance, one from Rome today, indicate
that our readers take the matter too
seriously. We have advertised a
limit for handing in the coupons but
we will not discriminate against
those readers who live at a distance.
Any coupon received will be duly
filed where we are satisfied that the
contestant has not had the opportu
nity to learn what the missing word
is by reason of the publication of
the word.
We have some rural county sub
scribers who do not get their paper
in time to get the cupon back to the
office by the time we go to press
with the next issue of the Enterprise,
and they have been going to the
expense of using special delivery
stamps. That is uneccessary as we
will file every coupon, or guess
where we are satisfied no fraud has
been practiced. All we want is a fair
and lively contest for the gold prizes
and that is all the advertisers want.
We ar@ greatly pleased .at the
manner in which the readers of the
Enterprise in the city, county and
state have responded to this adver
tising scheme.

Methodist Conference
Closed Sunday Dec. 4th
The Georgia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, which
was held in the First M. E. Church
of this city last week, came to a
close Sunday night.
On Saturday night Dr. C. E. Cle
mens, of Duluth, Min., a cousin of
Mark Twain’s, took the house by
storm. The reputation which pre
ceded by him by no means told it
all. v .
On Sunday morning Bishop An
derson preached an eloquent and
spiritual sermon and at its close
read the appointments, since he was
compelled to leave on the noon
day train to attend a meeting in
New York City today. There were
few changes in the appointments
and none that affect Fitzgerald. Dr.
R. H. Rohb was retained as Super
intendant of the Atlanta District,
an¢ Rev. E. J. Hammond was re
turned to the First M. E. Church as
pastor for another year.
On_Sunday afternoon Dr. David
G. Dormey of Chicago, 111, deliverd
an address at the Sunday School
Rally Service. It equaled any ad
dress of the Conference in eloquence
and clear presentation of facts.
On Sunday night, Dr. Clemens
again spoke. In the course of his
sermon the inate humor of his na
ture appeared again and again: yet
withal the other side of the man
was seen the spiritual peacher, who
inspired all.
On Sunday morning Dr. Clemens
spoke at the Central Methodist
Church; Rev. E R. Sleetz at the
Central Church; and Rev.J. W. May
at the United Brethren Church. On
Sunday evening Dr. Dormey spoke
at the Central Methodist Church
and Rev. H. E. Sumner at the First
Baptist Church.
Mrs. Ware Entertains.
Mrs. D. B. Ware entertained de
lightfully Monday night at an infor
mal Chafing Dish party complimen
tary to her guest, Miss Prior from
Madison Ga.
One of the interesting features of
the evening was an “Ant” guessing
contest the answers to which were
words ending in “Ant”. Marshmal
lows were toasted from a grate of
red-hot coals throughout the even
ing by the guests.
‘Mrs. Ware was assisted in enter
taining by her sister, Mrs. J. O.
Shepherd. Invited to share her
hospitality were: Miss Prior, the
honor guest, Misses Floy and Verna
Mcll aughlin, Rosa May Adams, Ma
bel Rogers, Willie Willis, Mrs. Daisy
Brabham, Mrs. Shepherd, Messrs
Frank Taylor, Pridgeon Troup, P. F.
Clark, H. B. Richie, Roland Hardy,
Dr. J. M. Adams and Mr. and Mrs.
Jas. L. McCarty.
Mr. E. T. James left Sunday night
for Atlanta to purchase a car of
mules and horses.
