$25,OOO.OO Baptist
Church Assured
Amount Over Subscribed Last
Sunday

The Baptist congregation and the
good people who are in sympathy
with them are now wondering why
they hesitated so long in the matter
of building new church.
Several weeks ago when Pastor
Galloway decided to ask for sub
scriptions he timidly intimated that
SIS or $2O,OO0.00 would be required
The very first day the matter was
taken up in open conference it
became apparent that more than
that amount, at least $2O,OOO.OO
could be secured.
Last Sunday it was decided to
close the subscriptions or to make
a final test, and without any great
effort the maximum amount OF
S25,OOO.OO was over subscribed,
some $4,000, in other words there
is enough subscribed for a $25,OOO.-
90 church and a considerable start
on the matter of furnishing.
Work will be started this spring
or summer, and ere another twelve
months roll around the Baptist
congregation will have one Of the
incest houses Of worship in this
section of the state, on the splendid
site corner of Main and Magnolia.
The Enterprise congratulates Pas
tor Galloway, his congregation and
the city, the church will be credit
to us all.

AN OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESSMAN
HUGHES.
HON. DUDLEY HUGHES M. c.


We have waited on the matter of Postofice building
Tor rather asked you let the matter rest for the reason that
1--we believed that Congress might be willing to establish
lin this Colony Soldiers Home We did not want to appear
|clamerous for the favors of congress.
The time has however, arrived for action in the matter
of securing adequate and usual PostOfce accommodations
for this thriving city.
The rented quarters occupied at this time by the Post
office are entirely too crowded. although enlarged about
wear ago. and before government building can be constrc
tied double the present will be required and the rentals
flor that inadequate accommodation will amount to more
than interest on the cost of suitable government building
The citys population is quite $500 and its postal
receps much larger than usual in the average instance
where congress has provided government building
FITZGERALD has, as shown by the census reports, ougroWn
any city of its size Georgia perhaps in the South and its
increase of population the past twelve months has undoub
edv been greater than any twelve months in the history of
the city.
If YOU took the matter up the extra session and push
led it With energy zeal and ability is altogether probable
that our population will exceed ten thousand people before
the building would be ready for occupancy
We therefore request and urge that you Immediately
Drepare and introduce at the extra session bill providing
or suitable governmental building adequate for the needs
of city of 10000 people by the date Of the next census
Sincerely,
