Unknown Man Found
In The SatiIla River

Waycross, April 3.-Today in
the Satilla river, at Waltertown,
the body of an unknown man
was found so badly decomposed
that Identification was impos-
sible.
At coroner's inquest, a YER
dict was returned declaring the
man met his death by unknown
violence, being based upon what
the jurymen took for blood stains
on cuff, and a bullet hole near
the heart. Officers have had no
reports of a missing man and
have no information that would
show at what point the body was
thrown into the river. Immed-
ate burial of the remains was

knight TemplarS
Of Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald has many valuable
and important assets, many ad-
vantages over cities of similar size
and age. Her banking institutions
are strong and reliable, her schools
as good as any in the state and her
houses of worship are so numer-
Gus that nearly all Christian creeds
may had a home. Situated in a
country of fertile and productive
lands with climate unsurpassed
even by Southern California or
Italy, we can well exclaim this is a
God favored City! But we do not
fully realize our blessings and ad-
vantsges. Nor do we make the
most of them. Few realize how
important a commandery of
Knights Templar is to our city,
what prestige it gives US. Five
years ago Gathsemana Comman-
derry was instituted with nine
charter members, today she has
membership of 125 representa-
tive citizens from other towns and
cities come to Fitzgerald to seek
Abundance to this valiant and
magnammous order of the Temple.
Oaly those with lofty aims and
ambition seek such advancement,
hence the personal of Comman-
dry of knights Templars is of the
choicest and best IN the land. Fltz-
gerald IS also very fortunate in
having a member of the Grand
Commandry of Ga. in her midst,
Sir E. K. Farmer who is recog-
nized all over the state for wonder
full executive ability and Knightly
bearing. 1t behooves the good
citizens of Fitzgerald to encourage
this order, that reflects such luster
and glory upon our city, by meet
ing and extending the hand of well

Knights from sister cities

erative rural laundry of Chatfleld, Mimi,
has been a great success since 1t was
opened for business Is months ago.
1t was originated in the desire of c. J.
Manaban, a director of the profltaDie
creamery, to use some of the vacant space
in the creamery building. Women OF
the community indorsed the plan to start
a laundry, and so did the stockholders
of the creamery company, who promptly
ordered $1,000 worth of machinery and
hired a practical laundryman to take
charge.
ARRANGEMENTS were made whereby the
baskets of clothes could be brought IN
from the farms by the teams that carried
milk for the creamery Then two days
later. all washed and ironed the clothes
are taken back on the return trips. A
charge of 5 cents a pound is made for
washing and ironing, with additional
charge for ironing fancy pieces by hand.
The average large basketful, washed and
ironed by machine, costs rs cents to $25.
The farmers wives send all the heavy
work clothing, which is so hard to wash.
Even rugs and heavy curtains and bed
clothing are often included.
The laundry paid from the start. OF
the years receipts 70 per cent were paid
out as wages 10 per cent went to the
patrons of the plant in the form OF re-
bates, while the stockholders obtained a
per cent dividend
The news of the success of the laundry
spread to Wisconsin and w. A. Henry,
former dean of the state college of agri-
culture. has deposited $4,000 I'm bank to
be paid over to the manager of the first
cooperative laundry to be established
and successfully operated in that state.
To meet the requirements laid down by
Dean Henry the laundry must be owned
and managed by Wisconsin farmers or
their wives.

National Park. Mont, is out in an en-
tirely new body design. 1t Is of the pure
stream line type, with wide fore doors and
big, roomy, double seat 1uxuriously up
holstered, the whole presenting an ap-
pearance of grace and beauty that Is not
excelled by any other car in the roadster
class.
Another very attractive feature that
has been added to the Metz in its new
form is plate of glass rain-vision wind
shield, constructed in two sections, each
adjustable for rain and ventilation.
When it is desired to enclose the car the
! extension top fits down over the wind
shield frame, making a tight joint and
there are curtains that afford protection
at the sides and rear.
The gasoline tank is now carried in the
cowl instead of behind the seat, as form
erly, and the new equipment includes a
Prest-O-lite tank to feed the headlights.
No change has been made in the motor
or other working parts, as the numerous
Victories to the credit of the Metz in Of
| fetal endurance and long distance road
contests. both here and abroad, indicate
| clearly that it's mechanical construction
| has been developed practically to the de-
| gree of perfection Considering its well
| established reputation as a practical car,
| its low price of $495 completely equipped,
and the exceedingly attractive appear
| ance of it's new body design, one may
| easily foresee for the Metz a popular de-
| mand that bids fair to assume sensa-
| tional proportions.

Attractions of Maiden Voyage

John A. Sleicher, in Leslie's.
The first trip of great steamship Is
certainly as interesting, novel and at
theatrical show. There are decided ad-
vantages in making the first trip on
new steamer. Note few: plenty of
room in every direction whether on the
decks, the promenades. the smoking,
dining or reading rooms, or the social
hall; no waiting for a table or the SER
vices of the stewards; everything on
board, span and new. fresh and clean,
no smell of old kitchens, long-used cab
ms and decks; the finest and freshest
linen, bedding. carpets, rugs and drap-
cries; extraordinary precautions for the
safety of every passenger because 1t Is
the maiden voyage; exacting supervis-
ion of every department to make the
first record the best; the most attrac-
tive menu and the choicest foods so
that every passenger shall be bound to
advertise the merits of the new ship.
These and many others that I might
add are always borne in mind by the
sea soned traveller and, therefore, you
will find him looking for the first trip
| of every new steamship.
One experience of a first voyage of
| a steamship bound for New York is
unique. l refer to the strenuous well
come the vessel receives when its first
journey is ended as 1t steams proudly
up the magnificent bay and approa ches

such a noisy welcome will never be for

air like vocal earthquake. This gen.

with the records of the coast to coast

we are giving you the advantage of the
