National Highway Meeting

The writer was one of sixteen
fortunate guests from Fitzgerald
who enjoyed the hospitality of the
business men of Douglas, at BAN
quet or Dutch supper Thursday
night.
The occasion was a National
Highway meeting, in which the
public spirited citizens of Fitzgerald.
Waycross and Douglas participated
heartily and enthusiastically.
The party left here little after
7 o'clock Thursday evening and
made the run of 81 miles in about
one hour fifteen minutes. We
ound most of the road to the Irwin
County line, and practically all of
the road on the other side of the
Coffee County line in first class con-
dition, but the Irwin County stretch
of the road was rather discouraging
to automobiles.
At Douglas we were met by a
hundred public spirited Douglas and
Coffee County citizens, and were
joined by the delegation from Way
cross.
Supper was Immediately announc-
ed and was enjoyed by those whohad
assembled for the purpose of dis
cussing the South Georgia section
of the National Highway;
Speeches followed the supper and
finally resolutions declaring the
local interest of the business men of
this section in the location of the
great National Highway route were
unanimously adopted.
Douglas proved herself a most
agreeable host, and the gentlemen
who composed the party from Fitz-
gerald were greatly pleased by the
attention shown them, and the
cordial hospitality showered upon
the visitors.
The gentlemen composing the
party were: Mayor Drew W. Paulk,
in his Cadillac 80, with Hon. W. 7.
Paulk, L. L. Griner and Editor of the
Enterprise as passengers. Mr.. j. E.
Turner in his touring car, with
County SchoQl Commissioner H. M,

A FARMERS BANK.

At this season of the year there
is a strong demand for money, much
new land being developed and the
growing crops properly cared for as
we'll as keeping in repair the equip
ment of the farm.
The Third National Bank is always
prepared to meet the reasonable
demands of its farmer customers.
and even though you may not be a
customer of this bank your appli-
cation for a loan will be carefully
considered

Fine Strawberries.

Occasionally, not often, we see
fruit that reminds us of pictures
in the catalogues and picture books.
We have a basket of that kind
of strawberries on our desk, Chat
is, while this is being written, they
will not be here when you read
it, dear reader) from our friend
Wilson DIETRICH from his farm on
LenWood Drive north of the city.
The berries are too large and en-
tirely too pretty to be eaten, but we
are going to try it. The berry crop
is very fine this season as is usual
ly the case when we have rains in
April.
But for failure to secure proper
freight rates this colony would be
shipping car loads of fine strawber-
ries a day from now until the first
week in May. We have always
regretted the failure of the straw
berry industry.

usual place Wednesday, and enjoyed
the program arranged for that after
noon. After roll call and the reading
of the minutes of the last meeting,
the president called for a report from
the treasurer of last years finances.
Miss Majors reported all amounts
paid out and for what purposes, and
announced a fair sum still in the
treasury. The secretary being alb
sent, there was no report from that
office. The next meeting of the
club happens to fall upon Memorial
Day, and inasmuch as the time of
the meeting is the same arranged
for by U. D. C's. to decorate the
Confederate graves, it was decided
by vote to give up the exhibition of
flowers planned by the executive
board and instead, make a presen-
tation of flowers to the Ben Hill
Chapter U. D. C. to be used by them
Memorial Day.
A committee was appointed to
solicit entertainment in the homes
for the delegates who will be here
next week to attend the Interstate
High School Contest. This commit
tee includes: Mrs. Lee and Misses
Adams and Majors. The literary
contest will be held Friday evening,
the field contests Saturday morning
and the visitors will be given an
automobile ride Saturday morning.
Mesdames w. A. and L. O. TiSdel
are committee to make arrange
ments for this parade. Every one
knows Fitzgerald people are hospi-
table, but let us remember that we
will have an opportunity to make a
good impression in other ways; not
only give the visitors a cordial
welcome, but make use of the purple
and gold to beautify our homes and
public buildings.
Mrs. Brabham and Mrs. Cook not
being present, their part of the pro-
gram was omitted. Mrs Marston
sent an interesting selection on the
subject of the English Sparrow,
which was read in place of her paper.
Mrs. Prentiss' paper, Influence OF
Nature Study upon Character" was
one of the best read before the club
since it's organization. 1t was listen

rewarded with applause.

The FL Paso ~spud" market is cor
nered. This is the startling news that
has just come TO light The lowIy
-murphies are as scarce as hens teeth.
When II was learned that the north
Texas potato crop was q failure, z.
p. Kepley, a produce merchant Of FL
Paso. sent down to the Fronteras dis
frict in Sonora and contracted for all
fbe spuds IN sight.
The day after the contract was made,
the man with whom he made the con-
tract was shot. About the same time
the big mines in Douglas woke up
10 the fact that there was famine and
sent their OWL men down TO get
good supply. But Kepley was just
q little ahead of them. He made a
contract with the Chinese growers, and
when the Douglas people offered them
higher prices Kepley threatened to
throw them in jail If they did Aot de-
liver to him.
All the Douglas people could get
was about four carloads ard Kepley
has SO far shipped 10 carloads into Ell
Paso- He has made q good clean up

mer have been struck often with the
printed signboards hung across cleo
trio light posts in the center Of the
boulevards which contain the words
BE kind to animals" Recently the
number of these signs has been in
creased throughout the city, and an
alert society Of humane people, found
ed along the line OF the American So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, keeps an active eye on public
cabmen or other drivers Of horse We
hicles to see that horses are not wan
tonly punished.
The Paris cabnan in the past has
often been complained of for merci-
lessly whipping his tired. slow horse
but since the new campaign OF educa-
ton and prevention has been institut-
ed the evil of horse whipping has
greatly diminished.
Wireless Telegraph Investigations.
The central bureau of meteorology
announces active studies IN the deveI-
opment of the wireless telegraphy in
the collection and distribution of
weather bulletins. Already in Europe
wireless is used to great advantage
Gibralter for example, sends every
morning to London, weather observa-
tions of the Mediterranean. These
messages are copied in transit by the
french post at the E1ffel Tower ana
Immediately transmitted throughout
France.
The greatest problem in the coliec-
tion OF midsea bulletins is the limited
power of the ocean steamer apparatus
TO transmit long distances And by
the time other ships pick up and re-
transmit the messages much valuable
time Is lost and the value of the COM
munications to outgoing mariners is
considerably lessened. The present aim
is to reduce the time of transmission
from sea so that the ship captain may
be quickly advised as TO the weather
he is likely to encounter along his
route

A BIRTHDAY PARTY
J. A. Caughren, Brother and Sis
ter, Enjoy Pleasant Gather
ing in st. Paul

J. A. Caughren of this city, his two
brothers., namely S. E. Caughren OF
Maxbass, N. d., and w. H. Caughren
of Getty township, returned Monday
night from st. Paul where family
reunion was held, the chief feature OF
which was a birthday party for j. A.
This was the first celebration he has
held during the "a years of his exist
ence on this mundane sphere. The
gathering lasted three days, therein
resembling a German wedding, says
Mr.. Caughren.
The birthday party was given by
Mr.. Caughren's mother and his sis
ter. Mrs. l.. E. Shields, at the home
of the former in Merriam Park. The
house was appropriately decorated
and everything went merry as mar
riage bell. Beautiful flowers were in
abundance.
The birthday cake was a fine affair,
about two feet in diameter and bear
ing GA candles. When it was brought
in and placed on the table and the
candles lighted, it was very pretty
sight. A good sized piece of the
cooks art travelled as far as Sank
Centre and landed in the office of the
Sank Centre Herald, and the public
may rest assured that it was fine eat
ing and nice to look at as well.
With one exception all the surviv-
ing Caughren children were present
at the gathering. 1t was highly en-
joyable affair and ali present hope to
have more of the same kind.

DEFYING The Law
Some Fellows Break the Statutes
by Catching Fish by
Means of SENS

The open season for catching fish
with seines is now on and the. fellows
who practice that business in defiance
of the laws made to preserve the lives
of the members of the fnny tribes,
are busy again. The approach of
winter and sealing of the surface of
the waters of the lakes by ice is the
signal for persons of this sort to get
busy.
But others are busy also. Jos. Mil
Ter of Sank Centre, deputy game war
den, is busy. He's busy to some good
purpose, too, as several fellows who
fshed illegally have discovered to
their cost. Mr.. Miller is the right
man in the right place. Last season
he secured the conviction and punish
ment- of fifteen or twenty law break
ers. He has been on the lookout ever
since cold weather set in, and to a
good purpose. Not long since he dis
covered and confiscated four nets in
Big Birch Lake. He caught, prose-
cuted and secured the conviction OF
four men in connection with this find.
Their names are John Sunderland,
Vet Breese, A. Joki and III. Hendricks
