The Sturdy Oak.

'"o oIoVoy YAK.
Farmers who have used Tennessee
Highland" oak often remark 1T
doesn't break like other oak" You
who know oak trees will understand
the reason, for Highland" oak growa
on the high mountain slopes. The
strongest oak lumber comes from the
fine fibered, Close knit trees. Slow
growth produces fine fibre and close
grain. The lack Of permanent mois-
ture in the high attitudes of the Ten.
nessee mountains retards the devel-
opment of these beautiful trees whose
slow growth on those inhospitable
peaks, has produced a wood Of re-
markable strength. It bends but
doesn't break. On the other hand, oak
found in the low-lying, marshy val
leys is q rank, quick growth, whose
fibre is coarse, loose knit and brashy.
Coarse grained, quick grown oak is
brittle. Highland" is the very es-
sence of strength and is especially
adapted for reaches, eveners, wagon
tongues and implement repairs where
strength Is the prime essential. High.
land" oak is a sturdy friend Of the
farmer in the spring. We have fine

Opera House

One of the things that Fitzgerald
needs to bring it up nearer the point
of the 10000 city is modern play
house and auditorium.
Most cities about the size of Fitz-
gerald put up a cheap board audito-
rum, built mainly with a view to
it's capacity. Large auditoriums
usually come high we had to eIimi-
nate that feature from our new
school building for the reason that
it costs a lot of money to build
large auditorium and finish it.
Business men refrain from build
ing such structures usually because
they do not rent every day, and
space in a central location is always
expensive.
Mr.. Henry A. Burkhart owns an
ideal site on s. Main about hum
dred and seventy-five feet from the
postofice and he is preparing to
build a structure that will afford
the city the desired auditorium.
He has not yet adopted plans,
but the architect is in the city today
and Mr.. Burkhart will agree on the
plans.
The building will cover the three
lots IS by ITO it. in front in addi-
ton to the lobby or main entrance
which will be about II #, in width.
He will put in two first-claSs- plate
glass store rooms suitable for drug
or jewellery stores. The auditorium
will be on ground floor with suitable
galleries. There is proposition
that he will consider from the 7. M.
C. A. people to give them quarters
on the third floor.
The location of such an auditorium

People of Ben Hill county are ac-

A mass meeting was held at the
office of J. B. Seanor yesterday
evening to inausurate campaign
to secure the big meeting. MIR. L.
Robitzsch was chairman of the
meeting, and T. R. Justice secretary.
The following were the minutes of
the meeting:
Call meeting of the business men,
farmers and Farmers Union held
at Seanor and Gelders' Office, was

the object of the meeting being to
invite and entertain the State Con-
vention of the Farmers Union to
be held sometime in July.
L. Robitzsch was elected chairman
and F. R. Justice was elected secre-
tary.
C. A. Newcomer explained the
object of the meeting, stating there
would be about six hundred dele
gates to this Convention besides
two or three hundred outside Far
mer Union men who would attend
these meetings, and that it would
be of interest to the citizens OF
FITZGERALD to have the State Con-
vention at this place and would be
the best kind of advertisement for
our city and county.
Letters were read from W. H.
Thompson, Chairman of the State
Convention and j. H. Hogle, member
of the State Convention, stating
their approval OF the meeting being
held in South Georgia, and especially

money into it.
