Earnest Camp, of the Walton Tribune IS

Marshall Nunnal1y has not surrendered

The Pastors of the churches and the good
people generally, should not lose sight OF the
fact that Rev. J. r. Gum, will be here early IN
June. Let him feel that he is welcome IN
Fitzgerald.
Editor Mercer will never be satisfied I'M
til Fitzgerald is right in the middle OF new

The Constitutions correspondent con-
tinues to say that Clark Howell exposes HoKe

It is proposed to pass high hscense Dill
for Tiff County. The necessary Advertising
which is being run In the Triton Gazette hzes
the annual liscense at $40, 900. We want to make
this predictions thatif the bill is passed as aover-
tised, the $4,000 will be paid and Triton will be-
come wet town. Fitzgerald has seven saloons
with seven times the expense that one would
be and there is no sort of doubt that their net
profits exceed $4,000 in the aggregate

indolent by nature. They don't take kindly to
manual labor and the school house is con-
venient refuge school houses built by white
men, school teachers paid by the taxes OF the
white people afford them at least pleasant
