LOCAL WORKMEN SCARCE

Scarcity of workmen is already in evidence
and only very limited number of the con-
templated improvements under construction.
Carpenters, brick layers and painters in great
er numbers will have to be imported if the
buildings contracted for erection and remodel
ling would be completed within year. Resi-
dences, which will receive extensive improve
ments, are the Harold Beall home on West
Central, the Clayton Jay residence on South
Main, both of which will be entirely remodel
ed into modern residences; the First National
Banks extensive Improvement, the three new
school buildings, the Leonard Brothers Co.'s
new home, the Perry Filling station on East
Pine, the new church building for the Central
Methodists and number of smaller contracts,
find the local labor supply entirely inadequate
and hundreds of mechanics will have to be
brought in from the outside to care for the To-
cal building boom.
In every direction one sees roofs being re-
newed and building material assembled for
other improvements. With the prospect of
good tobacco and cotton crop, and the money
put in circulation for these improvements, To-
cal business will show a decided improvement.

Out Door Opera

Many of the grand opera stars are
combining a restful summer with en-
gagements in an outdoor opera on
the lake shore north of Chicago
where fashionable summer colony
has residence in a 40-acre park of
great natural beauty. The theatre is
rooted but open as pavilion and
though the patronage is of the aristo-
cratic kind there is much informality
as to dress and seating, the audience
being privileged to saunter through
the flower bordered walks during the
long intermissions between acts. The
intermissions are sometimes 20 min
utes in length due to the lack of
metropolitan means for moving the
stage scenery.
Bori, Martinelli and other Metro
politan stars with members of the
Chicago Opera company and a few
new artists make up the caste and a
fine symphonic orchestra is perma-
nent feature and on Monday nights
give delightful concerts. This place
is known as the Ravinia Colony and
is said to possess the only out door
opera of its class in the world. This
is the fifteenth season.

THE SOLICITORS RACE

Faw if any voters, men or women in this and
neiphboring counties, but know of the quallfl-
cations for the office of Solicitor General of
the Superior courts of the Cordele circuit, OF
which Ben Hill county is part, OF Attorney
A. j. Mcdonald, who aspires to this office.
For almost a generation Col. Mcdonald has
prscticed law in our city and every one who
has visited the court house during any OF the
sessions of the Superior court, knows that COL
Mcdonald has been practically IN every case
that has been tried before our courts, at least
every case which was strongly contested.
Those of us who have had the opportunity to
watch his progress before the courts, know
that he has met with uniform successes in be-
half of his clients, whether they were in the
civil section or the criminal section, for the
plaintiff or defendants.
1t has become habit with our people hav-
ing cases in court to engage the services OF Mr..
Mcdonald. His ability to handle law suits has
been so we'll established in the minds OF the
citizens. Now we are about to hire lawyer,
through the votes of the people, to represent
us, the State, in the prosecution OF criminal
matters. Is it not reasonable to look for the
selection of the best talent that offers, and who
of the candidates is so well known to the home
people as Alec Mcdonald? Would it be wise
or justifabe to vote for lawyer whose abili-
ty we know nothing about, when one so we'll
qualified and so we'll known as Col. Mcdonald
offers to take the job? Can you afford to hire
a lawyer for the States business, our business,
that we would not hire, had we need of a law
yer to look after some of our personal bust
ness? Just think it over and talk this matter
over with your wife, sweetheart, mother or
sister and then decide to give Mr.. Mcdonald
your full support.

KNOWING HOW TO ADVERTISE

There are good many business men whol
believe in advertising in theoretical way. and
would say that without doubt it is tremen-
dous factor in building up business. But they
can't seem to find time to think out the things
they want to say in an ad. and they hardly
know where to begin.
Yet every article in their stores. If well Sc.
lected and sold for fair price. is good sub
ject for advertising.
The prospective advertiser need not think
there is anything difficult in advertising If
he knows how to talk, he should know how to
write good ad If he can describe the merit
of some article to customer, he will be able
equally to set these ideas of his down on pa
per and tell the reasons why he thinks that
certain articles are worth the money which he
asks for them.
He will always have in his store certain
lines specially suited to that particular season.
The people look thru the newspapers to see
who is offering these articles, and they are
disappointed if they do not see them described
and see prices quoted. The wide awake store
that responds to that desire by telling what it
has to meet the needs of that special season or
date, is going to be looked to as an attractive
center of trade
Similarly the store needs to report the spe-
clal things it has done to meet the needs of it's
customers. If it has bought some specially
good lot at a price it considers superior, if it

MRS. ROY MALONE DEAD

Remembered and loved by a host
of friends in Fitzgerald and COM
munity the news of the death of Mrs.
Malone, nee Miss Mary Lou Hob
good, will be received with much sor-
row. She lived in Cleveland, Tenn,
at the time of her death. She was
buried at Sugar Valley, Ca, the
home of her parents, and where she
was married in November, 1924.
Lovely in character and person,
she won place in the hearts of all
with whom she came in contact. Life
held much that was attractive to her,
yet she was ready for the summons
to come up higher" because early in
lift she had committed her heart to
her Saviour and honored him with
her life-service. She had finished her
mission.

Mrs. T. B. Gissendanner

The sad death of Mrs. T. B. Gissen-
danner last Saturday is learned with
sincere sorrow by the many friends
of this family, who have been resi-
dents of Fitzgerald for the past two
years.
Of recent months they made their
home on their farm, formerly the
Porterfeld place, east of the city.
The remains and those of an in
FAINT baby daughter, whose death pre-
coded that of the mother by brief
period, were taken to Pinckard, Ala,
the former home of the deceased.
Her husband and three small children
survive, to whom the sympathies of
the community are extended.

Magazine Covers

Pretty Girl covers on magazines
are not so popular now as formerly,
says contemporary, except IN some
of the short story kind with a par
ticular sentimental appeal. The
standard magazines are using human
interest incidents and characters
more frequently of children than any
other kind. These pictures mingie
the pathetic and the humorous. The
incidents were tragic to the ago Of
childhood but seen.in retrospect they
bring smiles to most of US even
though sob Of sympathy may not
be far behind the laugh. We are all
much alike in our sentiments when
children and we all remember how
present trivial things appeared of
such tremendous and almost tragic
import to us in those days. A touch
of human nature in a picture can
make the whole world kin, loosely
translating the old epigram.

CAMPING SEASON

Isn't it funny. how the people that fuss and
fume for perfect convenience in everyday life,
are the strongest for camping at this season?
At home, things must run as smooth as pleas
ant thought, but in camp, the roughter and
more crude the arrangements the better they
like it. At home it would be hanging Of
tense for fly or mosquito to invade the room,
but in camp life the red bugs are relished.

Future historians will laugh at our

recently gave demonstration of the
absurd kind of hero worship that
dominates our daily press, our So

men and women and children with a
display of enthusiasm that worth
while pursuits, inventions and discov-
cries never inspire. How in this age
with men like Henry Ford and Thorn
as Edison that have put benefits and
pleasure, too, into the lives of almost
every person in the United States,
touching every age from the cradle
to the grave, and every class of peo-
pie, we can let these men pass

claim, no evidence of appreciation

doubtless cause future generations to
raise monuments to their greatness
and who are receiving no commensu-

Concessions to the Blind
In France the disabled veterans
either crippled or blind, are allowed
free transportation when they visit
the bureau that dispenses their COM
pensation of one kind and another.
Edinburgh in Scotland has more
liberal concession than this. All
blind people, rich or poor, are given
continuous remission of street car
fare. This ruling was made in view
of the large number of blind people
who daily travel to and from the
workshops for the blind which are
located on the outskirts of the city,
and to whom a. saving of $50 year
is estimated for each person. The
maintenance of bureau or plan of
inspection to pass on the merits of
the blind patrons according to needs
is apparently more troublesome and
expensive than the entirely unre.
stricted concession to all blind people.
