A MODERf%GINNERY.

We never tire of writing of
titzgerald's new enterprises,
(there are no old ones) but one
of the biggest and best is the
Cotton Seed Oil Plant now run
ming on full time and making
good profits.
The stockholders of the Cotton
Seed Oil Mill held a meeting
Tuesday at which it was decided
to increase the capital stock from
$4,000 70 $4,000 and put in one
Of the most modern ginnes.ies.
The meeting was a harmonious
one, with the single exception of
a tilt over the distribution of
the additional stock which is re-
garded as worth considerably
above par.
Fitzgerald was handicapped
the past season for want of salts
factory ginning facilities and the
oil mill management proposes
now to build a ginning plant that
will be second to none in South
Georgia, in capacity and modern
equipment.
Every stockholdcr in the oil
mill thinks we'll of his investment
which not only promises liberal
dividends but is a distinct factor

tants that the old river road that
goes from Fitzgerald to Crisp's
landing is one of the oldest roads
in the county, yet it has never
been worked by the county, and
if the merchants in this section
would unite on the subject it
would increase the business more
than any one thing that they
could do as there are many farm
ers that live near the rivergoove
into Telfair county to trade that
would come to Fitzgerald if they
only had a good road. Let the
business men of Fitzgerald take
this into consideration and let us
have a good road. w.

IN REGARD TO THE ROADS.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your valuable
paper of the second of January,
the subject of good roads is
brought forth, and as the county
has now put the chain gang to
work on the roads we hope the
day is not tar distant when the
good work may be seen on some
of the roads in the vicinity fthis
growing city. Now it is a we'll
known fact that there is not a
decent road in any of the APP
proaches to this city. Go in any
direction and you have to drive
through sloughs and among
stumps to the danger Of life and
limb and the risk of having your
vehicle damaged and more par
ticularly in the road to the Oc-
mulgee river, where many of our
farmers have to haul loads and it
takes three times the horse pow
er that it would if we had a good
road or in other words it takes
three horses or mules to haul the
load that one could do if we had
good road, yet we have to pay
the state and county tax just the
same as if we had the best of
roads.

by some of the oldest inhabi-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

School opened January S, with
an increase of pupils. Three new
ones in the eight grade: Mittie
Dorminey, Maggie Paulk and
John Killingsworth.
Reports from the mid-term ex-
animation gave great satisfaction.
All pupils in mathematics made
their grade with one exception.
The tenth grade was sorry to
loose one of their number this
week, leila mball having left
school.
Kelly Holt has dropped out of
the eight grade to attend turpen-
tine businessat Minnie; and Rosa
Lee Ivy from the ninth.
Prof. Thompson the new High
School assistant, is taking hold of
the work with interest. He is
we'll liked by all the pupils.
The class in physical geogra-
ply this year is an honor to the
school, being the best we've ever
had.
An interesting impromptu de-
bate was held Friday afternoon
on the subject: Resolved, That
there is more pleasure derived
from memory than hope" The
affirmative won.

To Repair Granite.Ware.

Granite-Ware is universally
used, and the best brands will
get holes in the bottom. I mend
my own (unless the holes are
too large) by using a short cop
per rivet. Put the rivet through
the hole, place the washer on the
end, put the article to be mended
on something hard, hammer I'M
til the rivet is perfectly tight, and
the utensil will not leak when it
is used, -Woman,s Home Com

in Fitzgerald's industrial and
business circles.
The ginnery will be built early
in the season and be ready long
before the cotton opens, with the
view of impressing the public
that it may depend on ample
and satisfactory ginning facil-
tiles at Fitzgerald.
