any fixtures, combustibles, exlosive
substances or any other things that

gether to trash piles on vacant lots,
all old delapidated buildings, old
fences, will be condemned. 1t will
not be our aim to cause anyone in
particular trouble or Inconvenience,
but we expect to comply with the
ordinance.

aid Woman's Club and Ben Hill

ecutive officers OF the Fair Associa-
ton. The Chamber of Commerce will

from any of the other civic organiza-
tons of the city and has made a
creditable showing. The Poultry
Show has been equal to that of the
state fair, according to poultry breed
ers who have exhibited at both shows
The cooperation of the other organ
izations will make the 1921 fair the
best in Fitzgeralds history.

ENABLE COOPERATION
Will Hold Organization Meeting
Next Friday Night

The retail merchants Of the CITY of
Fitzgerald will meet at the Chamber
OF Commerce at 800 o'clock Friday
night to form a Retail Dealers AS
ISOLATION or Fitzgerald Advertising
Club, either as an auxiliary to the
Chamber OF Commerce or as a sep
arate organization. That was prac-
tically assured at the meeting of mer-
chants last Friday night at which Is
merchants who were present approved
the plan
The merchants authorized W. A.
Adams, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, who presided, to appoint
special committee to canvass the
merchants of the city and determine
their attitude toward the forming of
a merchant association and to get an
expression of their wishes as to closing

the last three years
The committee in charge of the
meeting Friday is J. c. Holder, O. L.

alton was stressed at the Friday meet
ing. Chairman Adams explained that
it had been found impracticable for the
merchants of the city to work in CO.

tor of the Fitzgerald Leader, and was
heartily approved by VIM r, Bowen,
J. c. Holder and J. L. McCarty, and
several other merchants who express
