Interest In Contest Increases

The Missing Word Contest grows
more interesting with each issue
Special delivery letters from a dis
lance, one from Rome today, indicate
that our readers take the matter too
seriously. We have advertised a
limit for handing in the coupons but
we will not discriminate against
those readers who live at a distance.
Any coupon received will be duly
filed where we are satisfied that the
contestant has not had the opportu-
nifty to learn what the missing word
is by reason of the publication of
the word.
We have some rural county sub
scribers who do not get their paper
in time to get the cupon back to the
office by the time we 60 to press
with the next issue of the Enterprise,
and they have been going to the
expense of using special delivery
stamps. That is Unnecessary as we
will file every coupon, or guess
where we are satisfied no fraud has
been practiced. All we want is a fair
and lively contest for the gold prizes
and that is all the advertisers want.
We are greatly pleased at the
manner in which the readers of the
Enterprise in the city, county and
state have responded to this adver-

LATER Nashville had the big
gest delegation at the railroad meet
ing yesterday. Sixteen boosters
went from here in automobiles, leav-
ing at nine o'clock and making the
run of forty miles in just one hour
and forty minutes. We have moth
ing definite to report from the meet.
ing A construction company cap
italized at 100000 is to be formed
to contract with Mr.. Henderson fol
the construction of the road. An
other meeting will be held in F'itz-
gerald on Friday Dec. 9th, at which
definite plans will be proposed. The
Nashville bunch feel sure Of getting
the road, but, of course, nothing pos
tive can be given out now.
1t seems to be Mr.. Henderson,
plan to build the link from Della to
Fitzgerald first. However, we hope
to see work begun on the Alapaha
and Nashville link within a few
months. Nashville wants the road
and is determined to putforth every
reasonable effort to get it. We
havn't seen our people so enthused
over proposition in a long time.
It's the old-time Nashville spirit
come to life again. If there is a
croaker or knocker on this PROPOSE
ton in the town we have not heard
or seen him.
Here's a concrete fact: If Nashville
gets this road we will get others.
We need never fear that any rail-
road headed this way will fail to
pull for our town. Nashville will
be as good a railroad center as
Triton, and will have three thous-
and population in two years time. .

turned to the First M. E. Church as
pastor for another year.

and clear presentation Of facts.
On Sunday night, DR.. Clemens

inspired all.
