EPISCOPAL CHURCH
DEBT IS PAID UP

At the services at St. Matthew's
Church last night the Rev. ]. w. Bic
ker made the welcome statement that
the debt on the church building had
been paid in full.
Ever since the church was built
the members have been deeply inter-
ested in the work of having the beau
tiful building free from debt, and
their hopes have been realized.
The vicar in his address last night
stated that he was thankful that there
were people in St. Matthew's church
who are the salt of the earth"
He spoke feelingly of the intesest-
ed vestry, and the loyalty of its off
GERS and members.
He paid touching tribute to the
Rev. J. w. Turner, the pioneer mis-
sionary of the church in Fitzgerald
who sowed the seed which was the
beginning of the elimination of the
good work.
St Matthew's Guild was especially
mentioned, as it was largely to the
work of these consecrated women
that the church debt was paid. For
many years they have worked de-
votedly, lending every effort to the
completion of this work that was so
cheerfully undertaken by them. Too
much cannot be said of their deep
conservation and zeal, and their con-
tinuous labors have been abundant1y
rewarded. God bless these noble wo-
men, and grant them great reward
and greater reward hereafter.
The church is to be consecrated at
an early date, and now that it is ours
we can give it to God.
AS an expression of thankfulness
the entire congregation stood last
night, and sang the Gloria in Ex-
celsis."

tire school sang several patriotic
songs with much enthusiasm.

ARMENIAN BREAKS
into SURPRISE STORE

Saturday morning about o'clock a
party deliberately broke the large
plate elal4 door of the Surprise
Store, walked into the store, selected
a suit of clothes, shirt, ETC., took off
his own dilapidated clothes ard put
on the new ones. The first shirt ap-
pearcd not to have pleased him for
he selected another of more pro-
nounced pattern and better quality.
After dressing up he appropriated
what loose change remained in the
cash register and, as the officers ar
rived about that time, having been
attracted by the noise, he escaped
through the front door as they enter
ed through another All traces of the
burglar had disappeared but about
eight o'clock an emp1oye at the depot
notified Mr.. Levine of the Surprise
Store that suspiciously dressed in
dlvidual was buying a ticket for Cor
dele. Securing the services of Off

went to the depot and found an Ar
nenian, dressed in the Surprise
Stores latest. He was taken to the
jail and relieved of his new apparel
and the change, of which he still was
in possession.
The case will be brought before the
grand jury this morning.

GIRL ON BICYCLE RUN
OVER BY AUTOMOBILE

A most miraculous escape from ia
tai injuries was witnessed Saturday
afternoon at the intersection of Cen
rial avenue AID Grart stree, wien
little Miss Effie Stafford, lO-year-old
girl, who was riding a bicycle, came
in contact with a car driven by Miss
Edible Russell.
The child is said by eyewitnesses
to have fallen under the car and
crawled from under it when it came
to a stop within a few feet from the
corner. Miss Ebbie RUSSELL and
her companion, sure of having Sc
riously injured the child, jumped out
of tht car and ran into Mrs. Brough-
tons store, thoroughly frightened.
The girl went over and assured them
she was not hurt, and later in the eve
ming Miss Russell called for her at
her home and took her to the movies.

Y. M. c. i. WILL OPEN
BIG TRAINING CAMP

]. Edgar Probyn, of Atlanta Y. M.
c. A. headquarters, who for several
months was editor of Trench and
Camp" at Camp Hancock, Augusta,
arrived in the city this morning. Mr..
Probyn has arranged for a conference
of some of the leading citizens of
Fitzgerald to take place this after
noon in the Office of the Montague
Realty Co., at which it is expected a
pledge for $3.50 will be made towards
a fund of $4,000 which the Army Y.
M. c. A. is raising in the state of
Georgia.
In order to meet the growing needs
of the Army Y. M. C. A. for men, it
has been decided to open big train
ing camp in the mountains near Ashe-
vile, N. &. For several years, the
Blue Ridge Association has conduct
ed Christian conferences at Blue
Ridge and has established a we'll
equipped training school, value at
about $225,000. The association CON
trolling Blue Ridge has offered the
use of the school to the Army Y. M.
Z. A. for the training of men for
army work, and beginning the latter
part of this month, schools will be in
augurated. so that by the end of the
summer, fully 1000 men will have
been fitted for efficient service in Y.
M. c. A. huts.
Mr.. Probyn has been all over the
state and has been highly successful.
He anticipates having all the pledges
in hand by the end of this week. 1t is
an assured fact that the citizens of
Fitzgerald will get behind this laud-
able enterprise, which will mean so
much to the welfare of our soldier
boys, whether in camps in this coun-
try or in the trenches in France.

HOME GARDENERS.

The need of making an early start, whatever the project that is to be set on foot, ought to be fully understood in view of past experiences, and such is the way the department of agri- culture looks upon the matter of get ilng the war gaA7en campaign started for the coming season.
 It will be some time before 1t will be possible to do any blowing or planting but there is plenty of op- portunity to do the planning and in recognition thereof the department announces that the backyard farmer is going to be depended upon more than ever this year to help boost the food supply of the nation. Tn the way of garden truck, both that which was cons tuned as fast as it was ready and that which it was possible to carry over in one way or another for use during the winter. the thousands who braached out as gardeners or increased their usual efforts during the past summer were remarkably successful There were mistakes of course, but another season will permit of the ex- perience gained being used to good advantage.
 The home gardener will have plen- ty to do. He will be working for his own as well as the nations good and when in connection with the planting of gardens there is urged the raising of pig or two 1t can be appreciated that the chance of thus increasing the meat supply of the nation is one which ought not to be overlooked 0, neglected Individual efforts in both of these directions are going to count for much during 1918.

IN RUSSIA TODAY.

Fer a long time conditions have been decidedly uncertain in Russia. The bolshevfki have been having the upper hand and from certain reports indications point to the extension of their control in spite of the opposi- tion which they have been receiving in certain of the provinces and even in Petrograd.
 The converting of the constituent assembly with delegates from all over the country shows in it's first test that the strength of that party is not what it has claimed it to be, In the choice for the chairman the opponents of the bolsheviki were successful in electing g. former mTnber of Kerensky's cabi- net by large majority. It was &C., companied by demonstrations against the existing government resulting in riots, deaths and injuries.

The Farmer and His Auto.

Mir. Editor: read in your paper Of January first that every one making application for a chauffeur's license must pass an examination as to his ability to run a car, for which exam ination he has to pay g before he can obtain a license.
 I see nothing in this but new plot to rob the public, a, new scheme for graft and red tape. To a man who has been running a car for ten years such operation is easy and he naturally keeps cool when he gets into any tight places. But this man may not be able to answer all the scientific questions pertaining to the automobile and its handling and license may be refused him, while the young fellow who has just come from the auto school. filled to the brim with motor science but without road experience and likely to get nervous when trouble threatens, may get license without any trouble.
 It is possible in the case of the for mer that his business depends upon his automobile. for the auto has come to be a necessity for anyone in busi- ness whether he is merchant, manu- facturer or farmer. and everything ought to be done to increase the use of auto trucks.
 Millions of cords of wood are rot ting in New England and so are thou sands of barrels of fruit every fall be- cause of lack of carting facilities. Too little has been done to enable the farmer to use the auto to advan-

MEETING THE clTY's NEEDS.

When it comes to meeting the needs of the city it cannot help but be con- sidered that the city meeting did the proper thing in regard :o filling it's ;D1mediate and future nscds fo: gas and electricity by authorizing the ap- propriations for the municipal light ing and power plant.
 Every user of gas and electricity has been made aware of the fact that the present equipment at the gas and electric plant is inadequate. Not only is it working on the ragged edge and supplying with difficulty the demands which are made upon it, but the gas is poor in quality and limited as to quantity while the amount of electri- cal energy is not sufficient to meet requirements.
 IL was only few years ago thu. the city experienced a shortage oi water. It was clearly demonstrated that it was likely to be repeated Cur ing any dry season and that there should be an increase in its reser. voirs. There was a big demand fo. water which could not be met until pro- vision was made for an increased sup. ply with the result that Stony Brook reservoir was added. We are now in q position to take care of all needs fo, many years to come.
 The situation IS almost identical re. gard;ng the gas and electric plant. | we are going to do anything but stant still or go backward it is necessary to provide for the growing needs. w, are in the business of supplying gal and electricity and as long as we ar, we must meet the requirements ana do so in as businesslike a manner a, would private corporation. And tha according to it's action was the viev of the city meeting
