If the cotton spinners and the cotton growers
get closer together, there would be less room for
the gambler and the middle man.
Fitzgerald Pull Out
Governor Conner, of Alabama, has called an
extra session of the legislature for November. He
thinks the railroad situation demands railroad
laws.
Pull for or
Cotton pickers have been more plentiful and
easier to get than last year or for several years.
The truth of the matter is the farm labor question
has been very much simplifed and greatly i'm
proved.
There is not as much whiskey drank in FiN

IN growing lighter and the tigers are constantly
becoming scarcer and more timid.
Prohibition is prohibiting here most satisfac

DR.. Powell on Fitzgerald.
From Republic
Fitzgerald Ga. That is name to cOjure with
throughout the North wherever the Union soldier
IS to be found.
All men who wore the blue know of it, talk of
II and some day hope to see it,
Virgil sang to arms in his Epic as to the found
ing of Carthage and Rome Who knows but that
sOme day the poet will sing in verse OF the found
ing of Fitzgerald, Georgia.
In all ages the poets have tuned to verse the
martial spirito past ages The bloody battlefield OF
today is the subject of the Heroic Age of tomorrow
The bleeding and dying groans of the soldiers OF
today live in the verse of the poet of tomorrow
Who knows but what Fitzgerald Ca, will
Constitute the poem of some future poet.
The minglng of the Trojans Greeks, native
Italians and Carthaginians was the subject of
virgl's Epic the Aened. The coming of the Trojans
to Rome was sung in the verse that will live for all
time.
Who knows but that the coming of the Union
soldiers from their Icy clmes to the Land of sigh
ing pines waving magnolias and blooming flowers
to live among the heroes whom they had NIT upon
the field of carnage and DEATH will not be story
i for the poet of the futurei
Some ten years ago P. H. Fitzgerald, OF Iudia
napolis, Ind. conceived the idea of founding
Colony in the Land of sunshine where the old
Union soldiers could spend their last days away
from the Icy climes and biting wind of the North.
The Colony was founded and the heroes who
wore the blue fled from the Icy cline and biting
winds and freezing billiards of the North to the
Land of signing pines, waving magnolias and
blooming flowers to make their homes among the
heroes who wore the grey
SThe place where the City of Fitzgerald stands
was then a pine forest-no railroads and no marts
Of commerce were there.
Today instead of the signing pine forest, the
magnolia and the wild turkey, the steam whistle
Of the iron monster can be heard and the martS of
commerce are busy.
These pioneers of the North who wore the blue
and who came to make their homes among the
heroes who wore the grey have felled the forest
trees and founded City
Here is the story of the founding, building
and growth of this Romantic City in the pine
forest of South Georgia as told by young South
erner who was there in the beginning, and who
saw the City which may be the Epic of the future
poet, planted grow and develop.
DIR. J. H. Powell now prominent physician
&ar, eye, nose and throat specialist of Atlanta,
HHere in the beginning and the City of Ro
&nce and Magic laid out.
When saw Dr. Powell in his office in the
nfy Building in Atlanta, he spoke freely of
ming of the Union soldiers to the South
lony and the mingling of the heroes who
be and the heroes who wore the grey.
