business concern it must be necessary to promote
the combined enterprise of community life
Therefore if Fitzgerald is to advance as it
should business men must all be consistent

his newspaper proposes to print during the
next few weeks, few specific illustrations out of
actual modern business, showing how advertising
pays and how it works to build up trade In SO

the value of advertising they help build up our
community, and extend it's trade through all the

BANKS STRONG AS THE ROCK OF G1B-

RALTAR-The community shares in the pride of
having two institutions in our city, such as our
First National Bank and the Exchange National
Bank, both of whom have just issued their state
'nents. which show remarkable fine condition of
the financial affairs of the people of the section fl
nanced by these two institutions. With nearly
two million dollars on deposit and with approved
loans of over two million dollars, these institutions
are entitled to the full confidence which they en-
JOY and the cooperation of the public which they
so faithfully serve.
In these strenuous times. when in other less ia
Nored communities, financial institutions were
forced to suspend, here at home the strong person
mel OF men behind our own banks were so well es-
tablished in the confidence of the public and their
institutions well managed and financed that at
no time there cessation of faith in the
strength of our banks and the fidelity with which
they were managed. Fitzgerald and Ben Hill
County may well feel proud of their banking facil-
ties and the excellent showing they are making

Tor the time being,
Now the silver-tongued profiteers are asking for
good stiff tariff to prevent the pulp paper from

such tariff would enable them to advance prices

ADVERTISING DRIVES-In every field

ADVERTISING DRIVES-In every field of
action you can get tremendous results by working
to secure public attention for some one idea. The

marvellous successes could be achieved by hammer

suits can be secured in the advertising field. They
| particularly remarkable in cases where some
one article line Of articles is picked out, with
the effort to get people to thinking and talking
about that one thing.
A remarkable instance of how an advertising
drive push line of goods, is given in Printers
INK, in story telling how the Springfield (Mass)
Gaslght Company promoted the sale of tank wa
ter heaters. This company recently launched a
80 days campaign to sell these heaters AS re-
suit 1910 heaters were installed in that brief per-
lod The principle force behind this campaign
was advertising in the three newspapers of the
city. An advertisement run each day in
some one of the newspapers, featuring the main
points of the drive which were a reduced price
free installation, and deferred payments beginning
50 days after the installation
Such an instance goes to show that when YOU
present series of well written advertisements
living good reasons why it is for the interest of
me public to buy certain product people are in
luenccd thereby. Constant dropping wears away
stone, and constant repetition of an idea if good
and sufficient reasons are stated, makes people
think and act
Most bsness people would have said in advance
that 100 OF these heaters could not be sold in 80
days even in city of 10000 people The attain
rent OF this truly remarkable result should sug-
g"st some OF the business men of Fitzgerald what
they could do by consistent and we'll thought

OF business people who organize it efficiently. Bv

GRAND JURY
CONVENES IN
JERSEY CASE
Prosecutor Mott Asks For
Indictments in Hall
Mills Murder
NEW ANGLES FOUND
New Developments Are Interesting
But Not Important-Next Move is
Uncertain-Mrs Gibson is Guarded
by Troops.

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 30
The grand jury convened at Somer-
vile today ready to receive re-
quest from Prosecutor Mott for in
dictments in the Hall-Mills murder
case.
The prosecutor gave no indication
of what he would make. Further de-
lay, however. was considered likely
in view of the following overnight,
developments:
1-Challenge of Mrs, Jane Gibson
to a prominenet New Brunswick wo>
man to prove the latter did not wit
ness the murder.
2-Report that a new witness, who
heard Mrs. Mills dying screams, had
been discovered
3-Discovery of two cartridges, not
discharged, near the spot wnere the
bodies were found.
Alleged attempt by a negro to
sell DR.. Halls watch, which has been
missing since the tragedy.
Mrs. Gibsons challenge was issued
after Mrs. Frances Noel Hall, widow
of the rector, had issued a purported
statement through a friend Of her
family saying she knew nothing OF
the Staying of her husband and Mrs.
Mills.
The pig ranch woman" who
claims to have witnessed the duel
tragedy, defied Mrs. Hall to face her
and deny that she (Mrs Hall) did
not witness the slayings.
Mrs. Gibson today remained IN
her home, guarded against interviews
ers by state troopers and her son,
known as "Dumb Willie" who allow
ed "maybe | amt so dumb"
Interest, but not so much import
ance was placed on reported finding
bv authorities of two uneXploded car
