absolutely impractical. The railroads must have

Wonderful Nevada Opal.

Eas the largest ever discovered, weigh

inches long, 3 Is inches wide and
averages 2 Is inches in thickness. 1t
is. in short about half the size of an
ordinary brick At Sc karat its
value would be more than $4,000, but
its great size increases the value to
the point where it is worth whatever
a gem fancier will pay for it. The
highest rating ever obtained for an
opal was that for a gem from Hun
gary, which was estimated to be worth
S250000. On the same basis Of rating
the Nevada gem would be worth as
much.

Had Peculiar idea of Tree.

Bathed in the warm waters of the
Gulf stream, the climate of the He

Sidering the latitude, and there is an
average rainfall over the entire group

mounts to over 100 inches at the coast.
In spite of this, the islands are for
the greater part treeless. Hope Mon

F1TGERALD'S FIRE RECORD-In defending
Dublin from rumors that fires are more frequent
than natural the Courier Herald makes an un
warranted and odious comparison The editor
says:
Dublin, since January /, has just had 81
fires, including all minor blazes, automobile
fires and blazes where the damage possibly
did not exceed ten dollars record which is
not at all bad. May, exceedingly dry
month, brought ten frees, and since June
first we have had three fires. There are cit
les in Georgia that have been afflicted much
worse, Fitzgerald, for instance, and with
much more damages and property loss.
From Atlanta it was reported only a few
days ago that the department had had 2f
runs within "a hours, or a fire every S. min
utes.
Fitzgerald, as a matter OF fact, has had only
one fire this year which caused any consdera-
bic loss, the Lockett Motor Company fire the
last week in May. That fire would have caused
much greater loss had it not been for the spen-
did work of Fitzgcrald's incompatible fire de-
partment. Since the first of the year there have
been only three other fires worth mentioning
and the loss in all three would hardly reach four
figures Very few fires break out in Fitzgerald
and none OF those that it is humanity possible to
check ever get far enough out OF control to cause
much damage. Fitzgerald's fire loss record is
one of the best in not only Georgia but the en-
tire South. The annual loss per dollar of the
total property valuation of the city is 50 small
that it would take handful of ciphers between
the decimal and the figure to write the amount.
Fitzgerald has of the first and one OF the
few completely motorized and completely
equipped small city fire departments in Georgia
The fire trucks are manned by young men who
have been thoroughly trained in their work by
one OF the most experienced and able fire chiefs
in the country. They know their wok and they
have the equipment to give their knowledge OF
fire fighting fullest effectiveness
The Leader knows that good friend on the
Dublin Courier Herald must have been misin-
formed i'll regard to Fitzgerads fire situation
and that he intended no hurt to this best little
city in Georgia However, as he says of the TN
true rumors about Dublin's fire situation, 1T is
well known that light and irresponsible talk can
put perfectly solid and solvent banking insti
tuition into bankruptcy, and so, if people persist
in nsinuatlons regarding the frequency and orr
gin of fires similar effects may be looked for"
That applies several ways
