vile will plant two hundred trees
this winter. With the combined
efforts of the Civic Improvement
committee of the Fitzgerald Bust
ness League, the Civic Improve
ment committee of the Woman's
Club, and the Honorable Mayor
and city council, how much could
be accomplished in our little city
this coming year. We confidently
trust that these organizations may
be awakened to see the necessity OF
prompt and concerted action along
this line, and that none of them
may hold back to await the action
of the other. Early in February
is considered a ripe date for Arbor
Day, and we trust that a date be
named on which every citizen OF
Fitzgerald will planta tree.

Help To Stamp Out The
Plague.

Following the example of Allan
ia and other Georgia cities, Fitz-
gerald is contributing her share in
the great move to stamp out tuber-
culosis in the state, as we'll as in
the entire United States.
Miss Eleanor Marston received
from Atlanta this morning one
thousand Red Cross Christmas
stamps, and with the assistance of
the committee from the WOman's
Club the entire stock was sold out
with the exception of few which
were placed on sale at the Lee
Grant Hotel, Adams, Grant street
stand in the Garbutt Donovan
building and Russells Jewelry store.
A new supply has been ordered,
and will be placed on sale at the
following places: Levin Bros
store, Goodman's Drug store, the
City Drug Co., and Wightman's
Jewelry store, also the Postoffice
in charge of Miss Eleanor Marston.
The stamps sell for a penny each
and are very pretty and cheerful
bearing no suggestion of sorrow OF
sadness, but rather a promise OF
health, and victory over disease.
The money is used to establish
sanitariums and to provide nurses
for the poor, seventy five per cent
going to state institutions.
This little stamp is not good for
postage, but as 'sticker'' for
your Christmas packages, LETTERS,
and postals. So, do not attempt
to use them in place of Uncle SANS
regular postage stamps.

Make Fitzgerald A Gar
den of. Beauty.

1t is frequently heard on the
streets of our city that in it's early
days people came from the far
north with an idea Of enjoying
perpetual summer, and, like Ponce
de Leon, who failed to find the
fountain of perpetual youth, " re-
turned disheartened and disap,
pointed.
And, except for few periodical
freezes which are essential to the
health of our climate, why not, at
least, enjoy the appearance of per-
petuaI summer lin Fitzgerald? It
is within our reach, and with very
title care aud moderate expense.
Our principal thoroughf$res are
provided with evenly laid out
parks, except where they have
been oblitera ted for want Of care.
In the adjacent forests, many of
which are accessible by rail, are
hundreds of young magnolias, ma
ny of which stand in danger'of be-
ing destroyed by forest fires.*W hich
shall VIC do, leave them at the mer-
cy of the flames, or bring thena and
transplant them in our parks and
around our homes to cheer our
winters, shed their fragrance, and
spread friendly limbs over tired
travellers and future generations OF
little children?
Besides these are the red berried
holly, sweet bay, cedar, cape jas
mine, japonica, oleander, and a
species of native evergreen shrub
of which we do not know the .name
which has q black berry, andHdur-
ing the month of February becomes
a mass of creamy bloom and is for
tressed by hundreds of tWitterlng
robins, sweet voiced harbingers of
spring.
And now comes most necessary
acquisition, q satisfactory winter
