Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1906-04-10

You are mistaken, brother Our fight was
successfully made last year, and thus far we
see nothing to be alarmed at.-Irwin County
Courier.
"Our fight was successfully made" To
say how ridiculous this sounds to man who
knows anything of the facts, would require the
use of more extravagant language than we are
willing to adopt. The effort that was made
from Irwinville in opposition to the forma.
ton of the new county for Fitzgerald, had
no more to do with the final decision of the
committee, which hesitated two days between
Cordele and Fitzgerald and finally decided in
favor of Cordele by the change of one vote, than
Editor Rogers has on the changes of the moon.
We do not blame the people of 1rwiaville
for opposing the cutting of the county. 1t
would be of some advantage to dozen or more
of them to require the thousands of people re-
mote from that village to drive the ten or twenty
miles necessary to reach the court house IN the
woods, but it does make US kinder sick at the
stomache" to have reiterated the very foolish
statement that the objection from Irwinville
had any influence in deciding the matter.
After the committee decided that Fitzger-
aid and fifteen other places were entitled to
counties, it became purely a matter of compe-
tition for the eight places.
In our next issue we will give the story of
how we lost the one vote necessary to success.
IF we felt capable of giving advice it would
be about to this effect. Own home in Wire
grass Georgia. If you can't own thousand
acres take hundred, or five acre trct, or one
acre if you can't do any better. They are
oa1z; n1S hn
they never did make much better land. every
thing considered, than this Irwin County land.
The opportunity for making happy home
in Gods blessed country is unexcept-
ional. This is land free from casualties,
soil that produces abundantly climate that is
heathful and delightful. The people are civil
hospitab1e, genrous and lawabiding.
Buy home in Wiregrass Georgia. Buy
land, large piece if you can, but land. It's
cheaper than it will ever be again 10 your life
time, dear reader.
That's the advise we would give, if we
should decide to give and advice at all.

The way the public is rallying to the
Enterprise is gratifying to us. We have very
satisfactory subscription list, perhaps the best
that any paper has ever had in this immediate
section, in spite of the fact that we do not cam
vass for subscriptions. We have no objection
to offer. If our readers are disposed to help us
double our list, we will devote our time to maxi
ing the Enterprise, thrice week, worth at least
dollar per annum. You are invited. dear read
er to hand this paper to some friend who does
not now realize what he is missing. We give
more than a hundred and fifty papers, most of
them red hot for Fitzgerald, at the bargain
counter price of one dollar.
The Enterprise is worth two dollars per
annum to those who do not pay in advance, but
to subscribers who plank the money down only
one dollar is charged.
The uureasonably unjust and persstenty
dsrespectful things that are being said about
Hoke Smith are making him friends every day.
There is an old rule of politics that it is a des-
perate race that is dependent on vtuperation,
malice and Misrepresentation against the other
candidates. We know all the candidates for
Governor except DR.. Nunnally, personally and
we know them and him to be very excellent
gentlemen, citizens far above the average
above the average good citizen, and we know.
and every other man who is at all we'll informed,
knows that Hoke Smith is not the least worthy
among them. He is man of great ability and
of MANY excellent qualities that fit him for the
high office to which the people seem determined
to elect him this summer.
A rumor has reached Fitzgerald to the
