Georgia School Draws
Boys From Many States

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 11.-Georgia
colleges, following the migration to
the South, are attracting attention
as never before. A striking example
is shown in the case of Riverside Mil
itary Academy at Gainesville, Ca,
noted prep school for boys. The AGA
denny already has registered more
than 400 cadets from thirty differ
ent states and four foreign countries.
The demand for places was so heavy
in August, month before the fall
term opened, that it was necessary
to build new barracks. This build
ing, it was stated, was completed in
twenty-six working days, has every
modern convenience and takes care
of fifty additional boys.
The Riverside football team, &C
cording to local sports writers, has
had a successful football season so
far. 1t has not lost G. I. A. A. game
1t will play Tech high on Grady field
in Atlanta the morning of the Geor-
gia-Tech game, November 18th.
There are only three Georgia
boys on the Riverside football team.
The other eight regulars come from
all over the country. The captain is
from Michigan. Other states repre-
scented are Ohio, Texas, South Caro-
lima, Florida, Pennsylvania and
North Carolina.

ARMISTICE DAY PASSES
QUIETLY in FITZGERALD
Banks, Schools and Commercial
Houses Give Their
Recognition.

The closing of the Banks and the
flying of flags by the commercial
houses were the reminder that We'd
nesday was the memorial date, when
the roar of canons ceased and slaugh-
ter was at an end. Poppies literally
purchased from the D. A. R., were in
evidence in store windows and on the
lapels of the men about town. In
the schools, a silent minute at II
o'clock brought the solemn occasion
to the attention of the pupils in the
local schools. The day is most sig
nificant and will become real holy
day, as the world begins to fully
realize the sacrifices of the boys over
seas in the holocaust of 1917-1918.

Two Cities
Have No Taxes

Panco, Okla, and South River, N.
j., are two cities whose electric
light and water plants are earning
sufficient revenues to pay the en-
tire cost of city and school admin
istration in both of these towns.
Panco is a town of $4,000 and
South River has 1900 population.
Public utilities are money makers for
their towns where managed properly.
Fitzgerald's plant will show a decid-
ed improvement in earned revenue
during the second half of this year,
owing to it's more economical use of
fuel. @
