ROBBERS AND THIEVES

In all cities and towns of any size
there is a certain amount of thievinp
and robbing going on at ali times
and for the size of our little city, we
think we have small amount of such
nulsances. Yet, every few days we
hear of some robbery and petty thiev-
ing, such as hold-up, or house
breaking, or some small robbery, the
most inconvenient of these to the vic
Tins being the theft of a suit of
clothes. In these cases a vigilant
look out should be made for the cul-
prits and when apprehended they
should be punished to the fullest ex-
tent of the law, not only for their
own crime, but for an example to any
Others who may be inclined to vio-
late that law and commandment
Thou shalt not steal"

Different Kinds
OF Amusement

we are not all built alike in our
opinions as to the most pleasing
and the most substantial class of
amusement. Some will prefer
musical plays. Some farce comedy
some opera, Others vaudeville. The
pictures have been extremely
popular. But when it comes right
uown to facts a real clean convinc-
ing drama will get the medal. Peo-
pie tire of all sorts of amusement,
but they never tire of a cleverIy
written play, properly produced.
% from that fact The Man from
Mars" an unusually strong drama
was the preferred vehicle selected
to be produced under the auspices
of the Woman's Club and neither
time or trouble is being spared in
staging and producing the play
with the determination of making
it the biggest and most pretentious
dramatic offering ever attempted
in the city of Fitzgerald. Mr.. G.
ID. Peruchi who is recognized bv
the theatrical profession as the
best stage director in the south
has taken full charge and is busy
drilling the company and prepar-
ing the stage setting and effects,
and promises that the "Man From
Mas" will surprise the People of
Fitzgerald not only with the excel
lence of the individual acting cast
but with a perfect and complete
production of one of the most
pleasing and convincing plays ever
written. A performance that will
make you forget that you ever
saw an amature- performance. If
you have an idea that you are 90
ing to see a bungIesOme, tlresome
amature performance you will be
agreeablY surprised but ifyou come
convinced of seeing a Wonderful
play and by a competent cast you
will not be disappointed. Come
with the same expectations that
you do when you give up a dollar
and a half to see some widely
heralded professional company and
you will get a dollar and half
worth for fifty cents. No one is
called upon to donate 50c you are
requested to come and see a meri-
tious performance a high class
drama, refined dramatic master
piece, by competent cast proper
ly drilled by a professional direc-
tor. The date has been set for Fri
day night Dec. 10th. Prices, only

and perptuate an appreciation OF our

presenting simple facts, figures and

let US consider separately our Rail
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk

Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms Of transportation, and this ar
