'IF YOU HAD BUT A DAY"

Text; "Who knoweth what day may bring forth?"
ne Evangelical Messenger has given following very
searching message to which we will do well to take heed:
Would you neglect your private and devotions?
Would you leave your Bible unopened and unread?
Would you find prudent and highly to cancel some
engagement you had made?
Would you hasten to correct misunderstanding
driven trend from side and filled your
Would your mind be filled with anxious orebodng over vows
soemy made to God in time of great need and you
Would you have pay have been out
Wed or make restitution OF wrongfuly
unruth declared? - ~
Would your bank and the own bulk
large in your vision as it does?
Would you if Sunday spend day with your Sunday
newspaper or go to baseball attend moving
take trip into the country nearby cty in the
neglect of the worship of Gods house?
Would you be less gru and grouchy in the home maneng
a more tender and conslderate and kindly spirit?
"o your past become uncovered by the blood loom
lore you like deous nightmare filling your with
gush and terror? ~ $3.50
Would the things for which you have abon striving
W years seem as much worth while when facing
they do? w.
Would Jesus Christ suddenly an Importance in YOUR
mind you have permitted Him hitherto and His saliva
uon a possession youmust secure at any cost?
What would be the things prominent in YOUR mind and
heart-if you had but day?

HALL URGES LOYALTY
TO SCHOOL

In chapel Tuesday morning, Sup
erintendent Hall gave the students a
lecture on loyalty to their school. He
told them that they were getting their
from their school, and that in view of
this fact they owed their school and
their teachers a lebt which could only
be paid by their showing some spirit
and loyalty to their school.
Mr.. Hall told the student body that
they should feel such a loyalty for
their school, that every one of the
students should feel it his duty to try
and do something toward the winning
of the coming district meet, in order
to uphold the honor of their school
from which they are getting their edu-
cation.

DEBATING COUNCIL IS
ORGANIZED TUESDAY

The old school spirit of Fitz-Hi,
was partly awakened from its s1um-
bers Monday morning when ]. J. Gain
ey, Principal, announced that work
would be started immediately on the
High School debate which will be
settled between the two schools of this
triangle some time in March. The
teams of the triangle have not vet
been decided upon but the chances are
that we will have to meet the teams
OF Corde1e and Ashburn. Both of
these schools usually put out strong
debating teams, and are we'll worth
our best efforts to defeat.
The debate is one of the most i'm
portant contests in one of the most
important events in our school year,
as the winning or loosing of the dis
trlct meen in Georgia adds or detracts
much from the reputation of a school,
and the Debate means ten points to-
ward the winning of that meet and is
therefore worth the time that it will
take to- be prepared properly. The
students have not been taking much
interest in this event, but are at last
| beginning to see the necessity of win
ming the 10 points offered in order to
win this meet
superintendent Hall called council
OF all students interested in debate in
order to discuss the subject which this
year will be: Resolved, That the con-
stitution should give the general as
sembly the power to levy an income
tax. not to eyceed Is per cent of the
FEDERAL Income Tax levied in the state,
Several plans are now being dis
cussed for reviving the old Fitz-Hi
spirit, but none will work out without
the hearty cooperation of all the pa
irons of the school and the backing OF
the people of the town.
Fitzgerald is the best town of its
size in the country. AT one time our
schools ranked as the best in the
state, and they still are. but they are
not so widely known as before due to
lack of mass enthusiasm on the part
OF the student body.
This year we have one of the lar
geSt student bodies in the history of
the school, and have plenty of mater
ial from which to draw, and will GER
tainly make good showing when the
time comes. That the school has
some spirit hidden away down in its
soul Is shown by the results obtained
by our energetic enior class who
have raised the necessary funds for
Chemistry Laboratory so that the
students who follow intheir footsteps
will have no trouble in getting credit
for their science work in college due
to lack OF laboratory work as they
have heretofore experienced.

The boys are beginning to take a
great deal of interest in the develop
ment of baseball team, but do not
seem very much interested in any kind
of track athletics; which is very un-

There is every prospect of the boys
turning out a good baseball team, but
still, baseball is little more important
than track athletics, as track work is
one of the events of the district meet.
However, track work is to be star
