{1 few 90 Dentis- El Oovo.noi Northern on the Inviu Cotuitv Site. QttcBtii'u. Kuitok- Fitzikka It Lkadeu:— 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 ieafit. possible public benefit thero- from. ’ he view 1 am presenting is especially true, when the con- 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 tiwly traversed bv railroads lead trausportat'ion ing directly to Fitzgerald while to Irwinviilc would involve the necessity for hack lines i hat could not be expected 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 kicatious. 1 am sure the citizens 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 large and desirable built iu aud about'. ne city of jt/ucr- aid.

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 Irvvit. show a brut her! v spirit bv laying down all prejudice and helping our northern f trUMH.s ■ , build up the tie \ city.
