Thursday, January A, 1906.

If YOU haven't lost your Tuesdays paper
with the sewage disposition article, lay it away
for future reference.
ALI of our new year resolutions are good
ones, although some of them may not prove to
be so good for the other fellow.

Now is the time to plant shade trees this
month, this week. this very day. If you don't
plant now, next summer you will be sure to
wish you had.
The Enterprise wishes happy new year
to the many northern visitors in Fitzgerald.
May their stay in the South and the Colony
be pleasant one.
Gov Terrell SAYS he is not candidate tor
Senator and Joe Hill Hall says he is not candi-'
date for Governor. Thus they drop off the
Christmas tree.
Mr.. Smith did exactly right to accept How
ellis terms rather than miss the opportunity OF
meeting him on the stump. One meeting I'M
der any terms that Mr.. Howell can name will be
all sufficient
Some thirty or forty city lots were sold
Tuesday at city tax sales, and brought splendid
prices, better than ever before at sale OF that
kind. At least dozen eager bidders made
every lot bring about its value, and the city is in
Mseveral hundred dollars on the SALE

We've no doubt that Editor A. P. Perham,
of the Waycross Herald, would represent his
district in the Senate with credit to himself and
honor to his people, but we can't afford to say so
since he's been carrying on such a tatfy
party with those who sympathize with him
more from contact with our Lancaster than
any knowledge they have of his merits.

The Cordele people have put ]. w. Bivins'
picture in the papers and are patting him on the
back, as never before. They got sneaklng
notion up there that Bivns had eye on Fitz-
gerald, and they are doing their best to head
him of.-Fitzgerald Enterprise
Bivins knows Fitzgerald to be good town
and had the courtesy to tell you So Bro. Mercer,
but when it comes to leaving Cordele he is too

plant was earning money and, we trust, the new
council will undertake to lif! it out of the pauper
class. We should have revenue from water
and light plant in addition to street lights and
city water.
peck of trouble is small matter for the
editor of the Enterprise, but we simply call at
tention to the fact that we got ourself into a
peck of trouble in our report of the attempt to
do the owner of the corner saloon property
a dirty trick, but there are a great many
things, some pertinent facts in connection
with the effort that we not, in justice
to our friends, mention here. Our loyalty to
the cause of prohibition and friendship to
the w. C. T. U. is what has actuated us in re-
senting the unho1y touch of those who despise
temperance and deride christianity.
Speaker Joe Cannon is quoted as saying;
81 do not hesitate to assert that this coun-
FRY "a better today than it ever was IN its his
forv: that the people better, more honest,
more moral and less disposed to yield to temp
tations that are put in front OF honest men at
every turn. -
