A colony of Italians are waiting

ready to come at once. Their
leader has been to this city and
is much pleased with Fitzgerald

cannot afford to let this oppor-

Italians make good citizens and
with our soil and sunshine they
will make this part of Georgia
noted for it's vineyards fruits and
orchards. A part of their

Scores of mothers took an OBJ

The rain stopped all proceedings
except patronage of the saloons,
which only thrived the better.
Along near train time-in fact
nearly all afternoon-groups of
men, three in mum Der, were seen
trudging along away from saloon
row. The two outside ones were
usually sober enough to walk
straight while they both support

middle one; other times all three
swayed back and forth il their

police. They had come to Fitz-

Aud yet they tell us we we're

1t is generally thought here,
that the sending Of Secretary
Taft here by President Roosevelt,
to address the people Of Idaho
in the interest of Flaw and order"
was a mistake which cost the re-
publican party a good many
votes. 1t worked as a boone

OF Congressman Littlefield served

Well, gambling will from this on
be but little, if any. more openly
done in the future, in Owyhee, than
in the past. This is the reason Why
we have always contended that the
anti-gambling law was farce, and
that it was better to license gaming
which no prohibitory laws will pro-
hibit and turn the license money
over for the support OF our public
schools.
