effort put forth to find adjustment,
the plant progress" He also applied
this law to people, and said that,
transplanted people are the ones who
do the things worth while" Mrs.
Dickey said if this be true, we
should be able to do great things in
Fitzgerald for we are all transplanted
people. She then asked Mrs. J. B.
| Wall to read a communication from
Mr.. w. A. Adams, in which he ex-
pressed himself as being very much
interested in a cleaner Fitzgerald, and
asserted his willingness to assist in
every way that he could in making
it so. He volunteered to have the
government post office site, of which
he is custodian, cleaned of refuse and
kept so. So.
DR.. Osborne was present and told
of the existing city ordinances on
civic clainliness-their use and abuse.
He mentioned the efforts that were
being and had been continually made
for removing trash from streets and
alleys and stated some of the OBJ
stacles to be overcome. DR.. Osborne
has always been foremost among
those working for the general good
OF the community and expressed his

further this cause.
Passing from the subject of clean
illness to that of adornment of our
public grounds and vacant spaces with
flowers and shrubbery, Mrs. Dickey
spoke of the lack of proper water
supply at different points and called
on Mr.. Tisdel of the Water and
Light commission, whom she had
asked to be present to tell us if any
thing could be done toward the bet
terment of these conditions.
Mr.. Tisdel was much in sympathy
with "the city beautiful" movement
and suggested ways and means of
Preaching these spots for the present,
looking toward better facilities in the
future.
Mrs.. E. Turner spoke of the ad-
visibility of making thoughtful selec-
tons in the choice of trees when
planting and showed some beautiful
illustrations of variety of trees and
rose gardens from all parts of the
United States, with one from the orr
ent, showing a large cherry tree in
full bloom.
Mrs. Dickey then introduced DIR.
Ford, who addressed the club on
Social Happiness and some of the
means by which it could be attained
and maintained. He said it was large
ly within the province of women to
do the things for the uplift of human
lity. He also spoke of the need of
healthful, wholesome amusement for
young people of all ages and hoped
that through combined good agencies
much might be accomplished in Fitz-
gerald His remarks were both in
teresting and inspiring. They struck
responsive chords in all h arts.
! Mrs. Wimberly came forward with
some very practical ideas regarding
the public Fairgrounds and the great
need of this equipment here. She also
gave some we'll founded theories re-
garding supervision of Fairgrounds
Her talk was most interesting.
Lincoln said: "Die when | NAV. I
want it said of me by those who knew
me best that l always plucked a
thistle and planted flower, where
| thought flower would grow" His
life bore out his precept even when
used as figure to apply to higher
things and in that was worthy of our
emulation.
