TO F|TzCERALD'S SECRET SOCIE|

Several weeks ago we received,
from Chicago publishing house,
an advertising proposition. We
rarely examine proposition
from a publishing house for the
reason that, asaru1e, they are not
worth considering, but enclosed
with this particular offer was a
small phamp1et entitled Free
masonry at glance" We turn
ed through the little booklet and
were astonished to see things we
had never seen in print before
and being mason we were nat
urally impressed. We slipped
the phamplet in our pocket and
when we had an opportunity con-
suited several local masons on
the subject, and finally decided
that we would look further into
the matter and in order to get a
sample Of several of the books
we wrote the publisher accept
ing his offer and ordering the
books.
We published the advertis-
ment and received the books but
we have concluded after consu1ta-
ton with friends and crafts
men 10 break the contract
with the publisher on the ground
of a higher obligation to, at least,
two orders whose obligation has
been violated by the publication.
We have sample book, each of

Why Not Fitzgerald?

Chicago has a tree planting
society. The object is to pro-
mote local interest in tree plant
ing and the improvement of bou-
levards. The South Main Street
improvement Club in this city
could well accept honorary mem
bers from other parts of the
city, and the good influence of
personal interest in the condi-
ton of our city's thoroughfares
would be felt. An exchange of
ideas on the question of public
improvements can not be other
than helpful to all.

COTTON!

Fitzgerald is at last the cotton market we
have wished to see it for two or three seasons
past We will double and treble last season s
receipts, by wagon,and large amount is being
received by rail, not merely thro the compress,
which has all it can do, but shipments to the
warehouses for the local market. 1t is literally
coming from every direction and the more the
buyers get the more they seem to want, which
keeps the market up to and above the limit.

It is stated that the circum-Bai-
