now be done with very little labor.
This again shows their Unborn desire
to avoid labor, which is one of the
great blessings of man. In fact, as
one looks around and finds these
devices for lessening labor, | think
it will be discovered that in almost
every case they were invented by
the lazy Yankee, who wished to
avoid work entirely, if possible, and
put it off on horses and machinery,
and if he could not auoid it entirely,
at least to make it extremely easy.
The Yankee even puts comfort
able seat on his ploWs and cult
vatorS. He goes so far as to cult
vate two or three rows at time.
What a pity it is that he does not
follow the manly fashion of walking
after a single horse and sharing this
healthy labor with him. His lazy
method fails to develop his muscles
and may eventually lead to indi-
gestion, feeble mentality and an early
death
If one believes in the nobility of
work should he not pity those who
try to avoid it so industriously, and
to make everything so easy that it
hardly seems like work?-Ex
The yankees genius has been
worth much to mankind, from
whatever motive inspired.

Citizen Hits The Water And
Light Rate

Editor Enterprise:
In your paper yesterday you re-
ferred to the fact that our Water
and Ligt plant should be self-sus-
tanning and the present rate is ex-
cessive.
Municipal ownership is a delusion
and a snare under these conditions.
| attach check that paid my
October bill, ($11.21) for two peo-
pie, using only two lights regularly
In other words it costs me as much
for this service for October as it does
to rent small cottage, and a private
corporation could come in to Fitz-
gerald and give the people better
service for one-half the rates now
charged and should you make com
plant it would given prompt and
intelligent consideration. Personal
ly, / would be delighted to see the
present plant owned by a private
corporation, furnishing the service
for about one half what is now
charged.

pleasure of showing him through
the display. In the course OF the
conversation he learned that Mr..
Wilgl was on the verge Of buying
an eight thousand dollar place IN
Spaulding county. Mr.. Aycock IS
personally familiar with the place
in question, having lived within ten
miles of it. He at once importuned
Mr. Wilson to delay final action,
come to Colquit and see a much
better place at the same figure.
Well, to make long story short,
after seeing the Saunders place Mr.
Wilson bought it and volunteered
the opinion that in comparison, the
Spaulding county place is not worth
mord than $4,000.
