If Sickness Comes
If sickness comes, who is going to pay
the bills? Who is going to pay the Doctor
and buy the medicine?
Did you ever think of this, Young Man?
Did you ever think that, however good your
health might be today, tomorrow you
might be stricken down? And are you
willing to let someene else carry you along
and day your expenses? That’s the wrong
principle.
Start today and put your spare money in
. our Savings Department. We’ll protect
your deposit, and pay 4 per cent interest,
and have your money always ready when
you want it. .

FiTZGERALD ENTERPRISE
Only a Woman’s Voice.
Atlanta, Feb. 24.—After taking in
every motion picture show in At
lanta, particularly the nickel ones;
after sobbing over the sad story of
Evangeline and laughing at the
filmy comedy, Madame Tetrazzini
contributed her share to the sum
total of public entertainment by ap
pearing at the auditorium-armory
last night and singing the mad scene
from Lucia in a way that drove the
audience almost wild with enthus
iasm. If she were to sing again
here, it is propably that the vast
auditorium would be jammed to the
doors, for people last pight simply
went crazy over her voice. It is
different from anything Atlantians
have heard in this generation. It
may not necessarily be any greater
voice than sume of the others At
lanta has heard, but Tetrazsini has
got the vocal pyrotechnics, the fire
works, the trills and thrills, to a
superlative degree.

FITZGERALD. GEORGIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1912.
Mrs. Shellenberger Meets
With Unfortunate Accident
Mrs. Jennie Shellenbergder, East
Roanoke, met with a very unfortu
nate accident Friday morning that
was indeed a miraculous escape
from death. She had a shawlin
her hand and had started down
stairs, when, in some way, she was
tripped by the shawl, which caused
her to lose her balance and fall to
the bottom of the stairway. Besices
a number of very severe and pair
ful bruises, she had also a large
gash cut on her head. The family
physician was called, who, after an
examination, pronounced no bones
broken, and that her injuries were
such that no fatal results would fol
low. The Enterprise and a host of
friends deeply sympathize with Mrs.
Shellenberger in her unfortunate
Mebew . - .
Our Telephone Service
If it was bad we would say so
occasionally, Indeed we have said
so, when the service was not good,
and that is why we feel called to
say something now when the service
is good.
We frequently have opportunity
to try other systems, which have
served to remind us that we are
especially well served at home.
We doubt if there is a local phone
system in the State that is giving
more satisfactory szrvice than the
Bowen Telephone Company.
We do not know who is responsi
ble for the fact, nor who to thank
in particular, it may be the girls
at the Central, it may be the ex
cellent electrician’s service, or it
may be Manager Maaning is en
titled to a larger share of the credit.
Be that as it may we simply started
out to remark that Fitzgerald is to
be congratulated on her phone ser
vice.
Thursday when the storms had
both the telegraph systems out
of business, practically the phone
system, long distance and local
was about the only dependance.

Killed Em With Stick.
Atlanta, I'eb, 24.—Colquitt Carter
and Quitl Orme went up into Murray
county on a hunting trip when the
last big snow fell there. They hunt
ed hard two days in the snow, and
killed ten birds in all. Then they
met a Murray county farmer who
said:
“You don't want a gun to hunt
birds this kind of weather, what you
need is a good stout stick.”
Suiting the action to the word
the farmer got him a club, went out
in the spow, and actually killed a
whole covey.
Mr. Everett Smith. an old-time
Fitzgerald boy, but now traveling
for an eastern shoe company, was in
the city yesterday shaking haonds
with friends and customers.
- > Bulleti
l armers ulletins.
Bulletins of the Department of Agdriculture are of great value to
the average farmer who is enterprising enough to study them.
The State and the National Departments of Agriculture have been
established for the benefit of the farmer, and it is only those who are dis
posed to make the best use of them who really reap any benefit from the
expensive and valuable work of the Departments.
We have a list of bulletins that would be of great value to the
farmeré of Ben Hill county, and they canbe had for the asking, a postal
card will suffice. Select you a list of ten copies, and send to your senator or
representative, or to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and
the bulletins will be mailed to you.

The Lee Grant
A Town’s Hotels are among
Its Best Advertisements.
A Writer in the Atlanta
Presbyterian says:
The writer was recently in Fitz
derld and learned that the week be
fore the Lee-Grant Hotel has been
forced to send guests to another low
cal hotel for lack of room. Those
who know the size of the hotel, for
years considered “too big for the
town” will be surprised; but those
who have learned that the hotel
has passed into the hands of Mr. J,
B. Roberts will not be surprised at
its being unable to accommodate
all its guests. The food alone would
double the patronage of any hetel
he rurs as his wife personally su
perintends this end, His “over Sun
day” patronage i§ already taking
many from the larger city hotels in
that section.
Of course this is not sunshiny
spring like weather, but think what
it is in the other man’'s country,
north, south, east and west of us,
it is altogether as bad.
