Tho ownership of an interest in Ocilla town site does not prevent ns from seeing the tacts as they ex- ist. Fitzgerald is, and always will be, the principal town of lr- win county. As such it is to our interests and the interests ev» ery taxpayer of Irwin comity, Ocilla residents included, to lo- cate tliccourthouse at Fitzgerald, and that, right away. The ioca- t.ihn of the courthouse at Fitzger- aid will add to the value of every dollar’s worth of real estate in Ocilla, and as business men and owners of Ocilla real estate, the (i. & A. railway and its officers want to see the courthouse at Fitzgerald to help out our Ocilla investments.
