'4th July Celebration
Here A Grand Success

Inc weather man and everybody
co-operated to make last Wednesday
the birthday of the Nation, a day of
JOY aFd round OF continuous peas
ures tor the large crowd OF people
who gathered in Fitzgerald from Ben
4AdA and the surrounding counties to
do honor to the occasion. Not since
the War Between the States has there
been the intense interest IN the affairs
OF the nation as is manifested TODAY
by the people OF all walks of life. Mo-
tners, who realize that their sons NAV
be among the hundreds of thousands
OF young Americans who will be call
ed to make the supreme sacrifice for
their country, their sisters and the
older men, who have seen strife with
III our country and among men of the
same blood and kin, all feel that the
times are pregnant with great devel-
opments, for the veal or woe of our
beloved country. Charged with these
overshadowing sentiments, a new
view point OF the duties of the citi
zen is taking possession and every
man, woman and child is filled with
the desire to bring upon the altar of
patriotism some share of self-sacrifce,
so that the outcome of this world
struggle may be the beginning of a
new democracy, in whose support and
success we all desire to have a share.

Live In the Present.

Customs adjust themselves very
slowly to advancing intelligence. What
the fathers have done we, too, often
continue to do merely because they
did it. The memory of the fathers is
sacred, but we make 1t a hindrance
rather than a help when we attempt
to live in the old days instead Of In
our own.
