A WORD TO THE WISE.

Young ladies, even if this is Leap
Year and you have things going
your way, you are, to certain eX-
tent, wasting your sweetness On the
desert air" when you have your
chafingdish suppers and don't in
clude the young men.
A charming young lady in a
dainty apron, lace-trimmed and be-
ribboned, presiding over chafiug-
dish, is bewitching-and, if the
apron be heart-Shaped, its fair wear
er is simply irresistible, especially if
she is somewhat versed in the Gull
nary art
Man may live without books
What is knowledge but grieving?
He may live without hope-What is
hope but deceiving?
He may live without love-What is
passion but pining?
But where is the man that can live
without dining?"
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1912-02-17

Of course Fitzgerald is all right
if we didn't think so, we would quit
pulling for it and pull out" But
the ladies don't think it is pretty
enough. We want to see this town
all "a bloom" and then if any one
should happen to call it a bloom
ing old town" it would deserve the
name.
And its blooming possibilities are
great. We heard a lady say the
other day that she had been growing
canras in her mind Ga very fertile
Northumberland another lady
was heard to remark that she was
growing century plants, and that
they were in a very fiourishing con-
dition, just ready to be put out some
where in the city. We hope CEN
fury from now they will be bloom
ing in the FITZGERALD Geological
Gardens" or in the Ladies Yauare-
logical Gardens, or in the Council
Yauaregereraus Gardens" or III the
Mayor Cook Park, or in the trans
formed blue and Gray Park, If we
were not careful to tell strangers
that that park was named for our
grand old soldiers, they would nat
naturally think it was named B.ue
and Grey" because it is just about
the bluest and trly,s- o king place
in these parts.
The ladies are already at work
Committee are forming, flowers
and plants and trees are under dis
cussion (cnly ideas have taken root
YETI But ere long we predict a
sowing OF seed in this good ground
around here and a springinS up OF
new life.
Dear city fathers, you proudlycall
South Georgia the garden spot OF
the South" help us to make Fitz-
gerald its most beautiful flower gar
den. You say that in time this fair
South Georgia Of ours will blossom
like the rose" Help us to get the
roses and other blooming things, and
with Gods beautiful sunshine and
refreshing showers that always
seem to come just right in South
Georgia, we can speedily make our
part of South Georgia blossom like
the rose"

MISSION STUDY CIRCLES ORGANIZED

MISSION STUDY CIRCLES ORGANIZED
The ladies of the Methodist and
Baptist Churches are greatly en-
Unused over the Mission Study Cir
cles recently organized, all circles
using the same book, western
women in Eastern Lands" All be-
lieve that this interesting study will
not only be a great inspiration to
each member, but a benediction to
their churches in the renewing and
intensifying of missionary zeal.
Mrs. E. J. Dormincy is president
of the organization in the Baptist
Church, this organization having two
study circles. Both met in the
church last week and reported a
splendid meeting.
Mrs. Guyton Fisher is president
of the organization in the Method
ist Church. She has wisely appoint
ed a chairman for each ward to con-
duct the study.
Mrs. w. O. Wooten is chairman
in the third ward, Mrs. Emory in
the second, Mrs Pryor in the first,
and Mrs. Fisher in tile fourth.
Each chairman reported a good
attendance this week and great
interest
With Mrs. Dorminey and Mrs.
Fisher at the head of these study
circles, composed of earnest Chris
tan women, we are sure that rip
pies from these circles will strike
the shores of Eastern lands
They are anxious for the ladies
in the other churches to take up
the study with them, and then in
the spring have a grand Mission
Jubilee"
We asked Mrs Dorminey to write
us a resume of the work, that all
may learn just what it means.
Read carefully what she says:
"WEsrERN WOMEN In EASTERN LANDS,
THE TEXT Book
Being uniformly adopted by the
Mission Study Circles in our local

brought.

As a Virginian was fishing below o

a contributor writes to the Companion,
he accidentally threw his line across a
duck, which~suddenly turned round.
twisted the gut about its neck, and
fixed the dropper-tiy in its breast,
Thus entangled and hooked the
duck soon broke off the gut above the
dropper, and sailed down the stream
with the other fly trailing hebind Il.
1t had no gone far before trout about
O pound and half in weight took the
fly.
Then began an extraordinary con-
test. While the trout struggled, the
terror of the duck was very evident;
1t fiuttered its wings and dragged the
fish. When the trout grew more quiet
the duck gave way, and suffered itself
to be drawn under some bushes, at the
edge of the stream. When the strug'
gle was renewed the ducks head was
frequently drawn under the water.
BY chance, however, the gut got
acrossea branch that hung downward
into the water, when the duck, taking
advantage of the purchase that this
circumstance gave it, dragged the fisf
from its hole and obliged 1t to show
its head above water. Then 1t became
a contest Of life and death, The trout
was in its last agonies and the duel
