Rev. J. T. Mann's Book

To the First Baptist Church of
Fitzgerald Georgia:
We your committee appointed
to examine the book on The first
Church by Rev. j. T. Mann, be-
cause of certain rumors to the
effect that some member of the
First Baptist church Of Fitzgerald
Georgia (of which Rev. Mann
holds membership had criticised
the book saying that it was wick
ed, containing unkind remarks
about other denominations, that
it was also narrow and selfish ETC.,
beg leave to submit the following
report:
We have carefully examined the
book. Some of it we have exam
ined with special interest and we
fail to find anything wicked. We
fail to discover any unkind or I'M
charitable utterance. We cannot
see how any one who will careful
ly read the book and then examine
the scriptrual references, laying all
prejudice aside, without being con-
WINGED of the loyal conclusions of
the author. We therefore COM
mend the book as a very profitable
production for Baptist homes.
We believe that our young peo-
pie will do we'll to purchase and
study the pages written, as we be-
lieve, with a lofty motive and un-
selfish spirit.
Respectfully submitted,
Rev. S. J. Parrish, Pastor.
d. B. Null.
Rev. G. E. Baker.

The Empire
State Band.
CONTRIBUTED

This musical organization is com
posed of some of our best citizens
and deserve words of praise for
their work. This band without Il
doubt advertises our enterprisilg
city better than any one thing, per-
son or persons and is an excellent
example of the Fitzgerald spirit'
There are many cities in our state
three and four times as large in
size as Fitzgerald, who have no
band and considering the age and
size of our city, we should feel
proud of this splendid organization
and we do.
In the past campaign for Cover
nor, they played for both sides
and of course, neutral. When
they played for Smith rally, they
would all wear Smith buttons; and
when playing for a Brown rally,
all would wear Brown buttons,
except one Of their number, who
was a very staunch Smith sup
porter, and would never wear a
Brown button, but the funny part
of it was he couldn't vote.
This band is we'll known all
over Georgia, but especially in
South Georgia, where they have
visited every principal city. They
never fail to charm and enthuse
their audiences anywhere they go.
Their snare drummer is very pop
ular with the little folks; in fact,
he creates as much laughter as the
funniest clown in a circus. When
he performs on the drum he has
always a large crowd around him
aud attracts much attention by
his fancy movements and capers.
They are all jolly good fellows and
always make a Chit" with their
sweet music and gentlemanly con-
duct.
Their last engagement was at
Byromville, Wednesday, End inst. ,
where they played for the laying
of the corner stone of the $40, 900
school building. There was a big
barbecue, public speaking, plenty
of good music, and many other
attractions; but there was nothing
enjoyed more than the band, I'M
less it was the barbecue. Every
number on the programme at the
concert was loudly applauded, and
when they struck up f'Dixic" at
the finish the whole assemblage
went wild.
This fine band is a credit to our
thriving city, and we all appreci
ate their efforts in behalf of our
city; we trust they will live long
and gladden. many hearts with
their sweet music. Hurrah for the
Empire State Band.
