There is perhaps more opportunity Tor error

The members of council committee having the

A letter from Sidney Glare principal owner OF
the Fitzgerald Trust Co., the owner OF consider
able farm lands in the colony principally large
tract north west of the city in which ne states that
his land will Immediately be cut up in small farms
as he can find tenants to occupy, II the coun-
ty will open roads that will be available to the
lands.
The section of country northwest of the city is
practically without roads, unless the tortuous I'M
graded trails may be called roads
OF course the county commissioners
will first give attention to the main highways
leading from the city to the county lines in various
directions
The Enterprise has not the slightest mis- Civ

handle the road question in business like way
and in a thoroughly satisfactory manner. Moth

From the Atlanta Constitution, 18th inst
Secretary of State Philip Cook
yesterday decided that Ocilla had
been definitely and legally chosen
as the county seat Of Irwin county
and that the courthouse should be
moved there.
Ocilla won in the election for
the removal of the courthouse
from Irwinville, by a large MAORI
ty but Irwinville made charges of
illegaIity and fraud. The evi-
dcncP, which was extensive, was
thoroughly gone into, almost every
vote being canvassed. The hearing
began Tuesday, and Secretary Cook
rendered his decision yesterday.
This means the bill providing
for the removal of the courthouse
from Irwinville to, Ocilla which
has already been passed by the
senate, will now be passed by the
house. The decision of the secre-
tary of state i'll the matter is final.
