Whilst l have not been in position
to keep myself fully posted on
the details of the campaign now
in progress in your county for and
against the removal of the court-
bouse, 1 must confess to some stir
prise that there should be any
special opposition to the proposed
removal to Fitzgerald.
Tho publicbusiness of any com-
muuity should be discharged til
ways at. the convenience of the
greatest number of citizens. Toe
center of population, and not tho
geographical center of the county
therefore should determine the
location of county public build
ings. It this proposition is not
true, the people of any given
county would be subjected to
great inc. nveniei.ee w«i hout ih

venicnco of travel from the more
sparsely settled sections are de
The contest, as i understand it,
is between lrwinville. the
county town, and Fitzgerald the
proposed business. location FitzgefaUl for the and county
the
country immediately contiguous,
and easily accessible, would be
far more 'convenient, for a large
majority of the people of the
county. lrw>it county is now on

tone sufficient for the demands,
on public occasion , because the
bo-css occurring during the in-
tcrvi. 1 of r'T^ula v\v HpjtointoU
public days would not authorize
a proper outfit and regular eti-
gagetuents with the trains. Of
equal importance with the fact
jttst presented, it is no rejection
on the good people bf lrwinville
to say. that hotel aceoinmodat ions
for the entertainment of the peo-
pie attending' upon Fitzgerald public days,
are far better a* than
they can ever be made at Irwin-
ville. The people of the county
canuot afford to neglect this con-
fiideratjon as their a prime element in
determining choice between

of Irwin county Lave already
awakened to the fact that, there
is a great and unusual develop-
ment awaiting them in the near
future. The prime, if not the
sole factor in this remarkable op-
portunity has come interests through the

new day Las dawned, and we
must be up and going. People
of 1he different States have left
their native homes to better them
selves in our sunny dime. They
have settled on a lovelv spot in
Irwin county and built tip a city.
The new city is a few mile, away
from the old court house, and tho
old courthouse stands at the cross
reads, where there is not a shad
ow of a prospect, for even a village
town. To keep the courthouse
there would bo equivalent to say-
ing we on’t want the new peo-
pi,- will us. Let. t he voters of
