Great Changes in Fitzgerald.

Mr.. S. Tatel, we'll remem ber-

He is now merchant in Brook

changes in Fitzgerald but smll-
ed cheerily when he found that
the Enterprise was still fl ,urish-

many issues OF that paper could
be found up to 1889 that did not
have his advertisement and that
the most familiar sight on his
late arrival was Mother Enter

Now that the city is doing

Ing our cemetery it occurs to me
that it would be we'll for the citi-

I propose that our Mayor des-

pose of setting out trees and
planting flowers in our cemetery
tue men to plant trees and the
women flowers, those in authori-
ty directing where to plant to

suggest planting bermuda sod

graded to receive it and would
state there is a good sized patch
of bermuda grass in the street
in front of our house that could
be utilized for that purpose.

with me. It will be better when
the water plant is replaced. The
sun shines hotter here than in
Fitzgerald and I judge it will be
pretty hot here in the summer.
The nights are very cool. On
account of the water expect to
leave for Kansas next week.
The town is only four years
old has two r. r. with prospects
for another. Living is cheaper
here than there. only rent is a
little higher. Farm rent is a
little high also. Oak wood green
is worth ST IS per cord. Dry is
worth $l.50; of course oak wood
lasts much longer than pine, and
there is plenty of timber
here. Today is as warm as a
spring day although it may be
showing inside of twenty four
hours. A great many people are
here from Georgia, Alabama and
is good deal like Fitzgerald in
representation.

The Center Sex.

Most of the unhappiness in
married life might be averted IT
the courtship is properly carried
on. Mothers are responsible for
nearly all of the tears and heart
burnings of their daughters after
marriage. A sensible mother
generally rears sensible daugh-
ters and will bring up her girls
70 work-that is to understand
thoroughly the ms and onts OF
housekeeping. and those duties
must be performed and learned
by actual experience. A man
nav admire his wife for her
peanty, her accomplishments,
her taste in dress, and all that.
out if she is not a good cook aud
housekee ping there will be dis
satisfaction. 1t is com monty said
that one must reach mans heart
through his stomach. There is
more truth than poetry in that
assertion, but it is not because
men are fonder of good things
TO eat than women. But we will
axe, for instance, clerk in the
city or a farmer in the country
or any man that works for llv-
ing He marries and settles down
His main object in life is to pro-
vide for the home he has estab-
lished. The young wife's main
object is to please. She loves TO
hear his foo-step on entering
the home. and if she has had the
right bringing up her house will
be neat, tidy and comfortable.
She will be prompt with meals
and the food will be we'll cooked,
the dishes nicly served. A smil-
ling face, pat on the shoulder
and an ''Ah, this is what l call
genuine comfort; who wouldn't
be a married MANI" from her
husband should be more OF a
CON pliment to wife than all the
honeyed expressions of admira-
ton that he bestowed upon her
in their courtship. 1t shows that
she is all and more than he ex
pected she could be to him.

Mother Enterprise:
We arrived III Holdenyill. ,he

stayed in Holdenville where Rev.

commenced showing and showed
all the next day leaving 6 or s
inches of snow which has not
entirely melted away yet al
though yesterday and several
previous days were pretty warm.
During the snow we suffered
considerable as the houses here
are not fixed for such weather
which they seldom have here.
The most of the houses are just
boxed and /battened canvassed
and papered on the inside of the
boards. No un d er-pin min g.
These are just the common rent

1t is a real nice little town of
about 1900 or more. Of course
this is just an estimate, Holden
vile is on a prairie. This i
among the timber mostly oak,
fairly good size. Pretty rough
although the greater part of the
business part of town lies fairly

The soil as rule is fertile, of
course some poor patches. 1t is
said by farmers that they can
clear $50 persacre on mostly cot
ton, although corn does real

as:fertile as timber land. Land
is.pretty good price from SIP to

expected. One has to be careful
about buying as to titles.
Long staple cotton is mostly
raised here. The stalks grow to
the height of 6 or 8 feet. We
asked several if they fortified
for crops and they did not know
what we ment. AT present the
accommodation for water is poor.

compress will be built also. The
cannal question rests with con-
gress, to be decided the fourth
of March. Two store buildings
are going up. The excavation
for another is going on and
several more are on foot.
Although a great deal will not
be- started before spring. We
have not been all over the new
addition or the lots which are to
be drawn. They lie north and
east and are not in swamp or
ravines as a great many were
doubtful about.
We think the deeds will be all
right in the drawing as the land
was bought from Indians which
was their surplus and which
they were allowed to sell.

Where viii Spokane Stop?

Those who have witnessed the phe-
no nenal growth of Spokane since it's
disastrous fire in 1889 are wondering
how long it will take this young giant
of the west to reach the mark set for
1t by its 10000 Club" That they will
get there is undoubted. The only
question is how long will it take them
to do it, and judging by the rapid
bounds they have been making 1t will
no. be SO very long.
Nor is this to be wondered at, when
its many advantages are taken into
consideration. With its enormous
waterpower, it is not remarkable that
it should attract to itself manufactur
ing enterprises of many varieties, and
it can at the same time furnish, at a
minimum of cost, power for the vari-
gu, electric lines which are being
pls nned in all directions, and which
viii inevitably tend to bring the sur
rounding country into even closer re-
latlons with the parent city.
Spokane possesses the peculiar adj
vantage Of having tributary to it a rich
agricultural country and large min
ing territory, the one pouring into fhe
city the wealth of the field. ,yrcnSsf5

An organ voluntary, Wagner's over
ture from '"Tannhauser," by Mr.. Ralph

tional singing of a hymn preceded the
invocation by Rev. Smith, after which
Rev. l.. B. Hix and DR.. Elijah Brown
Jones gave the scripture readings. The
offertory was followed by an anthem,
Praise Ye the Father" by the COM
bined high school girls and boys glee
clubs, with Mr.. Hix as accompanist.
Rev. McCord's subject was direct
appeal to the young people for cleaner
and nobler lives and high ideals. Both
the benefits and dangers of self-esteem
were clearly outlined.
Rev. McCord gave as definition of
his subject, ITO set a value on ones

a ready and profitable market for all
that can be raised.
The development of the Spokane
Flats, east of the city, and extending
almost to Rathdrum, Idaho, has con-
verted what was once dreary waste
into a country of fertile gardens ana
orchards, connected with Spokane by
electric lines, and has materially as
sisted in advancing the prosperity OF
the city. In this stretch of country
may be found the different districts
known as Opportunities" "Otis Or
chards,' and "Greenacres, which are
assisting, in no slight degree, to sup
ply the demand for garden truck. vege-
tables and early fruit that the city it
self consumes and which it also dis
tributes to the mining camps lying TO
the north and south, from the famous
Occur d. Alene mines to the Republic
mining region and even into British
Columbia.
Spokane is the distributing point for
all that territory known as the "lnla nd
Empire" which embraces practically
the Big Bend and Palouse countries,
extending from the international
boundary on the north to oregon on
the south For wheat rasiing and
mixed farming, this territory stands
without a rival, and draws most of its
supplies from Spokane. Anyone desir-
ing further information about this
country should write to c. w. Mott,
