back to stay and that he will continue to make 1t

Think of it, all the delicious peaches ship
ped from Georgia, all the luscious Georgia
melons, all the delightful strawberries, all the
fruit, poultry and eggs shipped from this state,
or any other, as for that matter, is at the mercy
of the refrigerator car lines, a mercess
trust that every season exacts and more
from the growers.
The Enterprise is not picayunish about
where it works ia the team. We would as soon
be "wheel.hoss' as the lead mule" in Ftz-
gerad's march of progress. What we dread
mostly is the gimlet shaped Texas that is

who will not pull for Fitzgerald should have the
decency to pull out
Candidate Howell is probably entitled to

encounter something on that line. That's why.

prise is again at The helm of that worthy publl-
cation Bro Mercer has had hard tuSse with
the dreaded smallpox and while the desease
often proves dangerous and possibly fatal it was
no match for the vitality and energy of the only
-origina1-Mercer. That he will "hew to the
line" is evidenced by the following, from his
salutary:
CONSCIOUS of the backing of all good men,
and as sure of the spite of every unworthy cuss
within the range of our battery, we shall do our
best to measure up to the responsibility and
meet every expectation. Bryan Enterprise.
And if Col. McWorter wants to have his say
as to current issues why should Col Bennett
pr edct that ''gobberlings will get him" when
he does?
