Get busy at something useful.
Ben Hill county has lots of roads to work,
It least lots of road work to be done. Ofcourse
We must have a chain gang. Blind tigers make
Ihe very best of road hands.
One hundred years ago today, was born
|he great southern leader. Robert E. Lee. He
Kas loved by his followers, admired by his toes'
&nd esteemed by all the world.
Twelve hund red dollars for five acre track

|erday. This is powerful good Georgia soil
round Fitzgerald.
Here is human biography in nutshell:
Born, welcomed, caressed, cried, fed, grew,
unused, reared, studied, examined, gradu-
tied, in love, engaged, married, quarrelled,
feconciled. suffered, deserted. sick, dead,
Times.
We often wonder why idle people don't
other each other. But they don't. They
rent happy unless they bother somebody

Il is probably explainable on the fellow
ling theory. 1t is Just as noticeable that the
ngs and moral degenerates busy themselves
Id criticisms of more respectable people. AS
ile they stand together as one man against
NNncy and order, and they all have followers
H straightforward troubles of their own,

The Southern Grantoid Manufacturing Co.,
mother one of the Fitzgerald institutions that
love to encourage. These building stone
nts. all of them, deserve generous treatment
bur hands.
The Granitoid Co. has large weekly pay
and, for that reason. is appreciated all the
4Ee. It has paid out, in little more thau a
RS time, $13, 500 in wages alone That it has
I'D successful, is borne out by the showing
lie at its first annual stockholders meeting
week.
More than 1000 on the investment had
n earned and a dividend of 1909 was
hred, with plenty of business in sight,
Mr.. c. w. Hayes, president and principal
Ner, has demonstrated, not only that b
nitoid business is profitable one, but he
ahown conclusive1y, that the cement blocks
& the finest building material. He has splen-
8 taste and genius and his work is ornamen-
\! as we'll as substantial.
With so much building to be done in 1907,
i predict for the Granitoid Co. another year of
osperity.
Mr.. Hayes has already doubled his room,
keparatory to doubling the capacity of his
|ant.
Kingston, the chief city of the island of Ja-
scia, with population of about 10000, was
E<stroyed by earthquake shocks last Monday
fternoon. The first and most violent shock
&me about $3.50 p. m. The earth sank and the
HNildings crumbled, burying thousands in the
ebris.
It will require several days, probably weeks
more than approximate the damage. The
'<Es lost will number several thousand and the
Noperty destroyed is estimated at $4,000, 900.
This is the third great catastrophe of the
81 within twelve months; Mount Pele, San
ecisco and Kingston.
there is evidently something stirring in
kerior of this ball of dirt and salt water on
creep, and scheme to live at the ex-
neighbors. At the same hour that
q Jamaica was shaken, shocks we're
SAMOAN islands on the opposite side
oe. No telling how many uphea.
