The best and brightest spot we have seen
in the political Of the brilliant editor OF
the Fitzgerald Enterprise in years, is MS gen.
erous, warm-hearted and loyal support of Chief
Justice w. H. Fish, of the Supreme Court, Tor
re-election.-Macon County Citizen.
Thank YOU, nv dear Leon-but what will
Hardy say?
An editor in neighboring town of SO in
habitants, SO years old (not the inhabitants, the
town. cheers the hopes of his local readers
with the following line: In looking tor
sound location never pick boomy town, take
one of steady growth, healthy and with future
prospects," We presume he intended to en-
phaisze the word future"
Make YOUR own peruna. We are indebted
to Golfers for the following recipe for the con-
coction.
One half pint of alcohol, IA cents, three
pints of water, cuebs for flavor one cent, burned
sugar, one half of one cent shake well and take
wine glass full every time you want your head
to swim. That's good peruna and cheaper
than they sell it in the drug stores.
The knockers got hard hit this week
when the new settlers arrived. But that is
nothing to what they will get about the 10th OF
November. That strike will paralyze them-lt
it don't the lick that will follow two weeks later
Whilst. George Gazette.
The Gazette should discourage the knock
ers by inviting them to pull out for more con-
genial chimes.
Hoke Smith knows how to give the glad
hand to people he never saw before. He won
friends that way at Boston, but they will lind
him out before voting time. -Thomasvllle Tines
Enterprise.
Well, when they find him out, Hardy, they'll
find out powerful good citizen of Georgia. We
have known him about as long as the editor of
the Times. Enterprise, and we know that there
are mighty few better men. Certainly not one
in the gubernatorial class.
Tom Watson, the man that Hoke Smith de-
nounced in such strong terms in the last presl-
dental election as being tool of the republican
party, has now locked arms with the Hon. Hoke
and is sliding on down the pike at rapid rate.
How quick changes can take place when man
wants an office. Tom says to his popu1ist
friends: "Hoke Smith is trying to do what we
want done and what we can not do by ourselves.
-Senoia Enterprise-Gazette.
What is the Enterprise-Gazette going to do
about it? Does it blame Hoke Smith or Tom
Watson? Or is it just kicking at its own fool
self?
The race for governor is between Hoke
Smith and Clark Howell The efforts of Smith
newspapers that are trying to figure Howell
out of the game and the efforts of Howell news
papers that are asserting "the Smith boom is
busted" are somewhat amusing but do not
display much political wisdom. Smith and
Howell will stay in the race to the end. Per-
haps there will be some "also rams" but they
will not have ghost of show to win; and it is
doubtful if they will be able to muddy the wat
trs much. This race is between Hoke Smith
and Clark Howell and one of these gentlemen
will be Georgia's next governor.-Newman

A new bank opened it doors to business in
Fitzgerald today. The fourth. all strong and
prosperous The event does not mark era
in our history for they have come too fast. but
it does earnest our commercial growth and
prosperity.
The Enterprise wishes the new Citizens
Bank the success that has been enjoyed by
the three banks that have occupied the field.
There is quite room in Fitzgerald for this
fourth institution, although five years ago ten
thousand dollar private bank did the business
and had ample capital for the community. Fitz-
gerald had not done much in that line the first
five years, but the last FIVE she has made re-
cordbreaking commercial strides that has sell
