DR.. Emmett Y. Ball
The Noted Specialist.

Fitz gerald is specially fayored
in many ways, and in 70 way
more than ia the distinguished
personnel of her professional
men. Foremost among these is
DR.. Emmett V. Ball, South Geor-
gia's noted specialist on diseases
of the eye, ear, nose, and throat.
DR.. Balls skill and devotion to
the cause of his patients has
spread his fame through all the
southern portion of this state and
also into Florida and Alabama,
until he is yearly treating thou
sands Of patients from ali over
this territory.
DR.. Balls success is a matter of
no small moment to this commu-
nifty as by it, annually, the aggre-
gate wealth of the cityis augmen-
ted many thousands of dollars
by money which otherwise
would have gone to the profess
sional men of Atlanta aud o'her
large cities. A profession such
as DR.. Balls NAV correctly be
regarded as an Industry" ard
is justly entitled to encourage
ment along with our other indus
triea.

GREAT SLUMP AT FITZGERALD

Accord ng to the Fitzgerald Daily People,
Fitzgerald has al ut gotten over the toom
sage and is now settling down to her nor
nal CONDITION. In speaking of the great
slump in real estate values I he People says:
The expected has come. Rents and real
estate values has ceased TO rise. In fact, &C
cordng 10 the estimates Of some of our BIZ st
and most fair minded real estate dealers,
rents have slumped from fifteen to twenty
per cent from what they were three months
ago. Houses that a few weeks ago could be
rented for almost any price demanded are
being cisca rded for better houses that have
been built by the score and it is found i'm
possible to rent The poorer houses at any
thing like the figure it was possible to OBJ
tain before-Hawknsvi News & Dis
patch.
The above is without the slightest excuse.
1t is simple libel on this city and calculated to
do harm.
We have been told that some writer in the
paper quoted has been knocking" but we have
not seen any of the articles. The Hawkinsvlle
paper jumps on the iule paragraph with evi-
dent relish and makes it say what is not, meant
but there is no reason in fact for either article.
Real estate values are much higher today than
any day in the history of the colony and
the gain will be shown to be half million ,llar
in greater than ever this years assessment.
