the people of the state interested in

I filled to cap acity by visiters and loca
I patrons of this ai nual attractions.
I G. M. O. has had a most successful
season and the team realizes that the
chompionshipdepends on this one game
G. M, C. has lost but one game and this
to the strong Gerrgia Reserves. How
ever, (J. M. C. played this game with
two of her stars on the side lines. G.
M, C. will present the strongest line-up
of the season when Gordon comes down
and with the determination that is
being shown by the team, Gordon will
have to fight harder tlinn they have
ev-r fought before if they are to win.

Representative Howard Ennis, ot
Baldwin county, ceitiinly deserves the
thanks of his constituency—und, for
that matter, the thanks of the citizens
of Georgia generaly—for the careful
and persisteur, manner in which he lias
looked after the interests of the great
institutions located in his county.
The State Sanitarium and the Stale
Prison Farm both are in Baldwin Co,
besides some other smaller institutions,
and the7 are fur and away the great
est charges of tlio State. While th-y
are State institutions, too, and while
one Representative is interested in
them just as muck as any other, it nev
erthelesB fall the lot of the Represent--
ative from Baldwin to see that thy are
takeu care of. And this Mr Ennis
does after a most approved and
thoroughgoing fashion.
Howard Ennis is a splendid bnsiness
man and a man of affairs. He is very
regular an 1 constant, in his attention
to his legislativs duties audio thorough
ly well liked by his associates. No man
in tlie Legislature is better equipped
or legislative work than he, and the
accounting tie has given of himself dur
ing his first and second terms leads
many of his friends te -ay that he may
continue to represent Baldwin county
incoming legislatures, if he is willing
to serve again. — Atlanta Genrgian.
