Mesdames Lon Dickey, H. A. Ma
his attended the meeting of the Cham

secured the requested finances for their

to join the Georgia Association, decid-
ed opposition to the movement being
in evidence. Messrs Newcomer, Lee,
and Owens were appointed a commit
tee to take up the matter of a road to
Tclfair County with the commissioners
of Ben Hill and Telfair and a COM
mittee of twelve were authorized to be
appointed by Chairman w. r. Bowen
to plan and carry through the proposed
meeting with the Dixie Highway Asso-
citation at Jacksonville and make prop
er arrangements for their reception and
entertainment along the route from
Macon to Jax'ville.
A motion for the Chamber of Com
merce to sponsor the 1922 Independ-
ence Day celebration was voted down
so this celebration will have to be I'M
dertaken by some other organization.
The members present adjourned to

The Scout movement in Fitzgerald
has once more come to life with c. I.
Owen as Scout Master and Chief Will
kerson as assistant Scout Master,
Stancil Turner, Secretary, W.. Benn-
EFT, S. G. Pryor, Jr., and O. L. Brad
shaw, as troop committeeman. There
has now been held at the City Hall
three very interesting meetings at
which interesting talks were made by
the scout masters and some of the
bows along the line Of what constitutes
good scout. One thing we admire
in the discussions at our meetings is
the moral influence that is beng
brought to bear on the boys.
Each boy is expected 20. quote
verse from the Bible at every meeting
and receive urgent requests from the
scout master to refrain from all evil
habits. In fact smoking cigarettes
is strictly prohibited at any Of the
meetings. or during the drilling exer-
cises and will be carried out when on
camping trips. If sufficient interest
is shown by the boys and the people
generally, Mr.. Owens and Chief VII
kerson expect to make the Scout move
ment in Fitzgerald decided success,l
Therefore we earnestly solicit the sup
port of all who are interested in hav-
ing a number of Scout troops in the
CITY and Ben Hill county.
Very truly,

Moultie meeting next Tuesday and
