AUTO SHOW CAME TO
CLOSE SATURDAY EVE

The finale Saturday afternoon
OF the three days meet OF auto
enthusiasts and good roads boost
ers from all over the state and
Florida made Fitzgerald famous
in places where its reputation for
hospitality and progressivencss
has not yet reached.
The great parade Friday after
noon, in which several hundred
autos took part; numbers of them
beautifully decorated and inter-
spersed with floats artistically
built TIP to represent a number of
pushing business concerns of the
city whose foremost car had made
the rounds of the five mile course
before the last car began its JOUR
ney, is a fair sample Of the inter
est the entire city and its neigh
bors took in the first annual show
OF the Central Route Motor Club.
Too much cannot be said of the
splendid work OF the various COM
mittees in charge of the three
days and their success in drawing
the largest crowd that has ever
assembled in the city.
The splendid roads that have
been built around this commune
ty, linking every town OF any size
within radius Of fifty miles to
the Colony City, will contribute
Tor generation to the upbuilding
Of the center Of the Central Route
OF the Dixie Highway. A re-
.markable feature OF the day was
the attendance Of more than a
hundred prominent citizens from
the future capital, Macon, whose
many cars participated in the pa
.rade. Among the floats that att
tracted attention were the L. C.
Montague Realty & Investment
Corporation, Mccarthy tombstone
60, Chero-Cola Bottling Co.,
Fitzgerald Bottling Works,
Sandlin Furniture Co., VIII
son < Co, ]. A. Justice, and of the

STOCKHOLDERS MEET

Stockholders of the Ben Hill
National held several meetings
since the call on them has been
made for additional funds to- meet

handled would be more than SUI
hcient to pay off all of the claims
against the bank and its stock

test against the call.

 NOT FOR RHEUMATlCS

Don't drink whislxey if you have rheumatism and be sure and keep your feet warm and dry, and drink plenty of lemonade.
 This advice, says an authority, is helping. but as all know who have suffered. rheumatism is a stubborn disease and yields only to a remedy mighty enough to conquer it.
 Many doctors have prescribed and hundreds of helpful druggists have ad- vfsed a half feaspoonful of Rheuma once a day, because they know that powerful Rheurna, harmless as 1t is, acts with speed and overcones in a few days the most torturing case of rheumatism or sciedca.
