Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-12-26

Yesterday was very much like Sunday with
one exception, none Of the churches held any ser
vices except the regular mid week prayer meeting
in the evenings most of the stores were closed part
of the day and labor was generally suspended.
Yes there was one other exception that was
the constant booming of cannon-crackers and
other fire works. There was more powder burned
during the day and night than was burned at
Bunker Hill.

Is there opposition to the street railroad pre-
ject to the national soldiers home to county bonds
for court house and road Improvements, to city
bonds for sewers and school buildings, to the na-
tional soldiers home? Why sure! There was OPP
position to the Declaration of Independence
George Washington and Patrick Henry had their
bitter enemies there were men who lived close
neighbors to the Americans patriots who opposed
the American Armies and furnished infOrma'
ton to the British Generals and sucker to their
hired troops

We have accomplished right much for the
good old town of Fitzgerald in the year 1907 But
there is much more to do the next year. We Sc
cured the new county this year and is our duty to
house it next year. Very early in the year we
must have an election that will authorize the is
suance of bonds sufficient to build court house and
roads to all parts of the great and good county of
Ben Hill The people will vote the bonds if they
have fair opportunity and we can give them that
opportunity some time in the month of February.
There is really little opposition to the bonds and
what opposition showed itself at last election being
th-out reason will disappear. Let us have the
public building and roads, they are all prime nee
essities of our civilization.

In planning for 1908 let us not forget some les
sons Of 1907.
The great big job we have on our hands (and
it is always best for theindividual and the commu
nifty to have big job in hand) is the national sol
dier's home project. 1t stands where the new coun
ty proposition stood last Christmas.
At that time men who ought to have been en-
Enthusiastically enlisted in the work laughed at what
they called an absurd proposition and an improba
blity or an impossblity.
The editor of this paper had slight encourage
mcnt when we promised a year ago in these col
umns that we would have the new county; sorry
white men used the promise as printed it, a;
what they called an idle boast made for effect only
We haven't time to heed the pickering and back
biting of the sorry set we are going after the sol
diers home and if we don't get it it won't be oul
fault.
