The First Church of Christ.
Fitzgerald, Ga, Dec. 5th, 20


We, the members Of the first
Church of Christ in this place,
have lately, through the kind
ness of sister E. M. Brown, re-
ceived a beautiful silver COM
munion set, gold lined costing us
but ten dollars, the remainder
over fifteen dollars being kindly
donated by our good sister and
her daughter and son-ln-law,
Mr.. and Mrs. Doty, of Newark,
N. J.
We are truly thankful for the
love and good will which prompt
ed such beautiful gift.
AS a church we are doing well.
We have an earnest working
church mem bership. Our Sun
day School is one to be proud off,
it numbers over seventy, and
more coming every Sabbath.
We are preparing for Christmas,
and expect to have good time.
We are glad to welcome many
new faces, both old and young.
We are always on the lookout to
give all hearty welcome. We
have a real live Young Peoples
Union in which many are taking
a real interest. Our Ladies Aid
is not slow. We have sold about
fifty aprons, pieced two quilts,
cut, sewed the rags and have
woven a rag carpet, besides quilt
ing quilts, tying comforts, etc.,
since the goth of October, 1904.
Last Thursday we met at the
home of Brother and Sister
Rayner, three miles east Of town
for an all day meeting. We all
had fine time and every one
was sorry that it was impossible
to get outside of all the good
things these ladies provided.
Over thirty sat dawn to the load
ed tables. The gentlemen who
took advantage Of the invitation
will remem Der the day until next
strawberry time. Some more of
the gentlemen took advantage of
the occasion to become honorary
members of the society, one
gentleman thought that at the
first meeting they could talk a
great deal, but must be still at
the meetings to come after. s.
D. Rayner, of Strawberry fame
was entirely toe ousy, he said TO
join the society, but could help
at these all day meetings when
it came time to clear the table, he
also escorted those interested in
berries over his field of berries.
The society baby, Miss Gladys
Hit put on her company airs and
caused every one TO say, What
a good child, takes after her Ma,
don't she?" We almost euvied
our hostess, when we saw her
pouring cream, real cream into
that cabbage, but when the ques-
ton was asked, Where is the
cream for my tear" Sister
President pied guilty to having
fed it to the Jay birds.
OF course as three fourths of
the big four were on hands we
had to look out for our toes, and
when the foundation of the porch
gave way there was a general
stampede. until we found no one
was hurt, only made more anx.
ious for chase to be first at the
table. On leaving town one
member of the society tried to
be digniied, but was soon
brought to her knees by the
mule, it not being willing to be
left behind. But we lad a good
time and hope for a chance to go
to the country again.

 assemblies. If the Monroe doctrine is not to be consigned to the political
 waste basket, it must rest, in the last resource, upon naval and military pow

 the presidential message of 1928 was written
 That the president will finish the
 Panama canal we do not doubt. Nor shall we be surprised if he is able eventually to obtain from Denmark
 those West Indian islands which she so nearly ceded to the United States, and
 would, indeed. have ceded but for the
 secret intervention of Germany to pre- vent the completion of the bargain. In the far east, and in all that con- cerns the future of China, we may ex- pect the president, acting under the
 advice of MT. Hay, his secretary of state--Who is now unquestionably one of the ablest, if not the ablest, of living diplomats--to maintain the attitude al-
 ready adopted. As regards the Philip
 pines, we may feel sure that the pres- ident will do his best to establish and maintain an administration the first
 object of which will be, not an adher-
 ence to any paper theories or abstract
 sentiments in regard to popular gov
 ernment, but rather the government of I the islands in the true interests of their inhabitants. London Spectator.

A FOREIGN VIEW OF ROOSEVELT.

A FOREIGN VIEW OF ROOSEVELT.
 We dislike and distrust prophetic pol icies, and consequently regret that MT. Roosevelt in his short letter thanking the people for the. honor they have done him should have pledged himself not again to offer himself for re-elec- tion. He has only been elected presi- dent once, and is not barred, therefore by the hitherto unhroken American ct iquette. His object, of course, is to disprove the charges of personal ambi- ton, and especially, militarist ambi- tion. SC constantly ieveied at him; but he does not know, and cannot know, what the situation may be in 1908. He may be needed by his country on the eve of a great war-suppose the Ger man emperor were elected sovereign of southern Brazil-or to resist a flood of socialistic sentiment stirred up by some gigantic development of the trust system. Already Bryanism may easily | develop into a war against priyatr property. Theta was no necessit for such pledge, and, thought 1t leaves MT. Roosevelt free from many kinds of injurious pressude we wish that it had not heen given.
 All We are concerned about, all we have a right to be concerned about is that America should choose q man worthy of her. And here, using no ex- aggerated poetic license, we may say.
 A mighty mother has brought forth a mighty son. !
 What will he do with it?" is natu- rally & question that is occupying mems minds at the present moment Our answer is that those who expect MT, Roosevelt to do semthing strange or sensational will be deeply disap- pointed. MT. Roosevelt will do what he has already desired and striven tc do. He will guide the American shir wisely and well, and instill into every branch of the government that higf i sense of public duty with which he is himself inspired. He will insist in do. nestle as in foreign affairs, that tht government of the United States shal hold it's head high. Under his guidance 1t will neither fear the mob nor the plutocrat at home nor allow it's great. ness abroad to dwindle and grow din from "craven fears of being great. , We yentured to point out some months ago that those who regarded the presi dent as "a wild man." would prove t \ be mistaken, and that in fact he wa, essentially a 'Whig," using that wort in It's best sense.
 l In the domain of foreign affairs, ant in that which concerns the American possessions beyond sea, we believe tha Preident Roosevelt will show hiInsel neither a braggart nor a poltroon. H will not be afraid to insist that Ameri ca shall hold her own among the grea powers of the world, but he will seel no foreign entanglements. It is cer tain that he will maintain the Monro doctrine in the letter and in the spirit as the American people unquestionabl, desire that it shall be maintained. Bu the president is not one of those me ' who imagine that policies can be base on Fourth of July orations, or on tn

thought of the last, decisive battle and hoped,
did her father, that "somethin might happen.
John Simpson had been her lover so long that he
seemed to feel entirely of his position without
taking the trouble to have any definite understanding
about it. To all intents and purposes, they
engaged, and yet he had not asked the al-impOrtan
question in many words. This made Serenas
position particularly embarrassing because she could
not feel free take John into her confidence refer

sooner they did the better for all concerned She
felt confident that if opportunity given to
Parks he would make good of it and she also felt
that Serena could not resist the eloquence and
ardor of his woong when he got down to business
