uWhen we examine the condition OF

1t does not prove that he received

been playing a bold game and collect

brings out the fact that the notorious

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-01-02

G. E. Baker, who has been with
the First National Bank of this
city in the capacity of assistant
cashier for the past year. has re-
signed his position with the bank,
and will leave Monday for Fitz-
gerald, Ga, where he will enter at
once upon his duties as cashier of
the Third National Bank of that
city.
Mr.. Baker is q gentleman of
splendid abilities, of friendly dis
position, and he and his estimable
W GIaake scores of friends where
ever they reside. The position
which Mr.. Baker has held here is
one that requires great skill and a
business ability. The large a
mount Of work passing through
his hands at times seemed suffici.
ent to have kept several men busy.
Mr.. Baker has had considerable
experience in the banking bust
ness, having organized the bank Of
Evergreen, Ala, several years ago
and was sometime cashier of that
institution. He has also been one
of the organizers Of the Third Ma
tional Bank of Fitzgerald, which
will open under his management
on the first of January. Those as
ISOLATED with him in the enterprise
are fortunate in their selection of a
cashier. He goes to his work well
equipped and his friends here,
while regretting to lose him and
Mrs. Baker from among them, will
wish him much success in his new
fiield.-(Live Oak, Fla.) Demo
