and the prosperity of the cotton belt. 1t is every

modern and ample school building.

The Bonds cf course; who would stand in the
way of the city's and countys progress7 we do not
know any who seriously object but there is al
ways somebody to object to any proposition, but
certainly the danger to the bond issue isnot oppo.
stion but lack of interest

The write up of Fitzgerald and Ben Hill Coun-
