morality and common decency-to
see to it that we have a good
mayor and council. May we trust
you? Your efforts mean a blessing
or curse to our hearts and
homes, which will you make it?
LET THEM ASK THEIR HUSBANDS AT
HOME" 1 Cor. IA: IS.
Our dear Husbands
Surely you are
the best and most obliging set OF
men in the world. You are so
prompt and kind in answering our
letters. Nothing could give us
more pleasure than your nice long
letters except to have you at
home, but probably it is
best for you to stay away so you
can find the answers to our ques-
tons, though Mrs. Smith says it
was always just as we had said to
begin with. AS you admit that it
are responsible for that saloon man
being a county officer. So sorry,
we did like him so much. He is
too good for that, any man created
in the image of God is too good for
that.
Just one thing more we want you
to tell US, we are sure you don't
know this for if you had known it
you never would have allowed it to
60 so long.
Now we know part of it is true
because it came direct from the
Federal Record in Atlanta, but we
just want you to find out and tell
us who's who"
Last July when the saloons
which opened up here took out
their Federal R. L. D. (Retail liquor
dealers) license at the very same
time license was issued an organi-
zation known on the Federal record
as
THE FITZGERALD PLEASURE CLUB
RETAIL LIQUOR DEALERS"
located two miles east of Fitzger-
old Con the recordeO composed Of:
John Abraham, N. w. Giles, Ernest
Robinson, Jim Nix and Dock
Thompson.
And do you believe it, all of these
people are negroes and some lady
told us they all sell whiskey for CD
white men. We know Dock Thompson
he use to press your clothes, but we
had to inquire about the Others
We were told that John Abraham
is a private chauffeur for some one,
Napoleon Giles works in a saloon
and a negro woman said he peddles
whiskey, but women don't know,
Jim Nix is porter for saloon
and some boys said they found
several cases of whiskey addressed
to him, but boys don't know either.
Ernest Robinson was a porter for
furniture store, but now he ped
dies wood and stuff.
Now we have been told that
several new City Officials will be
elected this fall, and do you suppose
that any one who sells whiskey
though one of the Pleasure
Club" negroes would dare to run
for anything except his life, if he
thought the respectable men in the
community would do their duty?
Please let us hear at once. The
children send love and want another
little dog.
Your affectionate wives.
P-S. What we want you to End
out in whose car it was John Abra-
ham was driving when he got that Ii
cense and who do these other ne
groes work for.
Then we will get you to tell all
about those who took out license
July, list 1911.
Your WIVES.

It's Woman's part to quell tn

1t is powerful poor policy o.
principal to advertise your owl
family's faults, or the few failings
of your own town to the world al
large-and it n-acts." -FitzgeralC
Leader-from Athens Banner.
Now while Paul waited for them
at Athens his spirit was stirred in
him, when he saw the city wholly
given to idolatry.
Cor all the Athenians and the
strangers which were there spent
their time in nothing else but either
to tell or hear some new thing.)

that in all things We are too super

The city's Development rests
largely with the mayor and council
The material and moral progress is
in their keeping.
What has taken other towns in
Georgia fifty years to accomplish
Fitzgerald has worked out in fifteen
The slow growth of other towns
enable them to keep in check the
tendency of the faster set-they
had their origin there.
To Fitzgerald they come full
grown and developed. We will
need to exercise greater care in Or
der to eliminate the undesirable
and to encourage the commemorate
Be as ready to do the one as you
are the other.-Fitzgerald Leader.
Yes, TO Fitzgerald they come
full grown and developed" and this
is just what we are insisting upon
stopping. We can afford to be pa
tent to a certain extent with the
evils which have their origin here
but when they come full grown
and developed" because they are
made to feel so thoroughly welcome
here. We think it time for oul
city to drive out the undesirable
who are here and then close hel
doors as a City of Refuge" to vic.
lators of the law from other places
When this is done it will be suffici'
cient encouragement to the com
mendable to come in and they viii
do so.
Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor" but not to
wait fifty years."
