1 Entertain Stewards
E The monthly meeting of the Board
| of Stewards of the Central Metho
- dist Church was held by invitation
"at the home of Hon. W. T. Paulk,
' Monday evening at 7:45. The beau
z'tiful rooms were all thrown together
Jand brilliantly lighted A double
_welcome was given each steward at
* the door by host and hostess, and a
“feeling of expectancy and appreci
tation filled each heart on entering
the spacious reception hall, where
'the beautiful decorations at once
' delighted the eye. A graceful palm
' tree in the back reception hall at-
L cted much attraction. The ar
:i gfic f&rrangement of smaller palms,
ferns and rare cut flowers showed
the taste and thoughtfulness togeth
er joined for the comfort, pleasure
and enjoyment of every one present.
A few minutes of social chat was
enjoyed before the meeting was
called to order by the Vice-Presi
dent, Dr. C. A. Holtzendorf. Among
the many things of interest that
come up it was unimous that a vote
of thanks in form of a resolution be
presented to Prof, Rawley and the
choir for the beautiful Esater music.
In this relation it was noted that
much of the success attending the
choir is due Dr. Holtzendorf, who
realized the lack of room, and gen
erously planned and bore the ex
pense of enlarging the choir loft, and
putting up the railing and curtain,
all of which has added so much to
the efficiency of the choir and the
appearance of the Church. At the
close of the business the stewards
were invited by the host into the

FITZGERALD ENTERPRISE
large dinning room where a sight
tempting and dazzeling met the
gaze. A color scheme of pink and
white was ingeniously arranged; and
the long table was ablaze with
crystal candelbra and pink tapers
surrounded with the right touch of
pink bonbons and “after dinner
mints.” A five course luncheon
was served consisting of straw
berries and whipped cream, hot
chicken and French peas on toast,
pin-money pickles, olives, dainty
crackers, tomatoes with mayonaise
dressing, chicken sandwiches, ice
cream and white cake, pink mints
and salted almonds, black coffee
and whipped cream. The ice cream
was pink minature automobiles;
and each guest was satisfied with
the make and seemed to find no
trouble in guiding them in the right
direction. Not the least attractive
among the pretty things in the
room was the charming Miss Isabel,
the bright little daughter of the
home. When the luncheon was
over a silver waiter was handed to
the gentlemen present by the
thoughtful hostess . wherein fra
grant cigars, matches, and pink
carnation button hole bouquets.

On the men (and women) of

and reputation, its future as a
home for our families and our
children. What are we going to
do about it? Surrender to the
liguor interests-—-the vicious;
the men who would run her
wide open and to hell? or are
we going to do our duty like
men, and give the women and
children the protection that a
civilized community owes
them? '
“WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO BRING THIS DEPOSIT TO THE
EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK.” we asked a new depositor recently.
He answered, ‘‘Because I hear so much of your unusual
strength, fair-mindedness and common sense dealings. 1 saw also
a long list of large depositors, who bank with you, and I thought if
they preferred THE EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK, I might wisely
do the same.”
We frequently ask new depositors such guestions as the above,
and from their frank and open answers we learn positively of the
high and increasing favor in which this Bankis held by the public.
This makes us more and more determined upon being a bank of
EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH RATING.
We invite new accounts. .

To Take the Money
Chicago, 11, April 9.—ln speaking
yesterday about Wall Street Wood
row Wilson said:
“If T knew the money for the ex
penses of my campaign was coming
from such sources I'd be ashamed to
show my face. 1 wouldn't be trav

take the first fast express West and
never get off where 1 was known.”

Cotton Prices Better.
Atlanta, April 11.—When spot
cotton went to 11 12 cent per
pound yesterday in the Atlanta
market, it reached the high water
market up to date for this season.
Bad weather, floods, continual
bull support, and the heavy de
mand for the remnant of the 1911
crop, are believed by experts to be
the direct causes for the rise.
Knights of Pythias.

Friends Rally To
“Jim” Henderson
Ocilla, Ga., April 9.—The friends of
Hon. J. A. J. Henderson in the Elev
enth district continue to urge him to
enter the race for congress, and they
confidently look for his formal an
nouncement by the end of this week.
Many of the letters received by
Mr. Henderson express the sentiment
that the district should be represen
ted by an able, successful business
man. It is argued that measures
will come before congress affecting
all lines of business, and that it is
important that some of the repre
sentatives should be business men,
indeed that they may be in position
to understand how the various lines
of business will be affected.
All agree that Mr. Henderson is a
business man of ripe experience and
great ability. Beginning life a poor
boy, he has acquired and built up
one of the finest farms in Georgia,
on which he makes more than a
thousand bales of cotton per year.
He is president of and largely inter
ested in the Henderson Lumber Co.,
of Ocilla, which is one of the largest
saw mill plants at present in the
state. He is the promoter, builder
and lardest stockholder in the Ocilla
Southern railroad, extending through
the counties of Berrien, Irwin, Ben
Hill, and now being built into Wil
cox county. But while Mr. Hender
son has always displayed great (-n-]
ergy and Sagacity in the manage
ment of his own business affairs, he
has been 2 man who lived himself l
alone, but always took the broader
view that whatever advanced the
best interest of the section in whi(ihl‘
e lived was the surest way to ad
lvance his own interests. He has
‘always been a leader in working for
‘every measure which he thought
lwould work for the betterment of
the people of his county and state.
One of his supporters from an ad
joining county, while discussing the
race the other day, was heard to
'make these remarks as showing how
the people feel: :
“Mr. Henderson is a man of un:
tiring energy, and while always en
gaged in a number of business en
}terprises. has never yet failed to
‘heed the call of the people when
they needed him personally, or in
affairs of government. Being a plain
man, the people seem to love him
as one of their rank, and they adore;
his unusual ability. If the people
‘elect him to congress, as 1 am con
fident they will if he makes the race,
he having been successful in his
business affairs, will have no motive
except to represent the whole peo
ple.” And this gentleman remarked
|further: “Jim Henderson can beat
any man doing things that I have
eversecn’

Young Man Loses Mother’s
Rig in Poker Game
Atlanta. April 11.—A young At
lanta clerk, who, is is said, stole his
mother’s diamond ring and lost it
over a local gambling table, squeal
ed to the police following his' mis
fortune, and the incident resulted
fn the raid on a private dwelling at
166 1-2 Peachtree street, near Bliss,
