Will Invite Distrirt Convention Here
Next Year, 1t Is Decided

A rather lengthy but interesting
session of the Woman's Club was
held on Wednesday,
A piano duet by Mrs H. A. Mathis
and Miss Allie Mayes was an intro
ductory number. After some inter-
esting letters and announcements
were submitted, came the special
feature from the district convention
at Unadilla. Mrs. H. A. Mathis
stressed the spick and span appear
ance of the little town, the wonder
tul showing made by their music club,
and which she thinks might we'll be
emulated in our town. The talent
being here, just the getting together
spirit is needed. She brought out the
strong points in the address of the
State President, Mrs. J. F, Hayes.
Mrs. Mathis stated that the showing
made by the Fitzgerald report and
the rating accorded as was very graf
flying, also that Mrs. Dickey was
called upon to discuss fully the oper-
alton of the Fitzgerald curb market,
as it is the only one in the Third
District, and had aroused no little
interest.
Seek Convention Next Year
Mrs. c. c. Persons who is the dis
trlct treasurer as we'll as a represen-
tative of our Club, then mentioned
the pleasant social features and gave
personal glimpses of the leading Wis
itors. She confessed her embarass-
ment at going uninstructed by our
club as to inviting the next conven-
ton here, as it seems to have been
expected and in lack of which Wen
ma took it out of her turn. There is
no doubt that next time FITZGERALD

body of women.

expressed her purpose of visiting the
Fitzgerald Club soon, it was moved
that we invite her for the Grand
mothers Luncheon which will be Gel
e52ated about the third week of Nav
and plans already formulated as re-
ported by Mrs. S. L. Smith.
Mrs. Lon Dickey then supplement-
ed the district report with number
OF good suggestions and she urged
the club women to more generally
attend the splendid lectures that are
given here from time to time. men
tloning those of Miss Streeter and
Mr.. Ihayer as having great value.
Mrs. Dickey made the apt illustration
OF the young woman In small town
who had worn her hat backwards for
SIX months until her sister from Fitz-
gerald had visited her and showed
her how and as a community how
often we need outsiders to come in
and tell us how to improve our con-
ditions. Mrs. Dickey mentioned
the line possibilities of our soil for
asparagus culture, as one instance
being demonstrated by negro
farmer who is making piles of money
not so far from here, after learning
how at Marshallvile, while at the
same time his unlearned neighbors
are almost destitute with their pitt
full cotton failures.
