has not yet been let, but numer

Some time in November the
Atlanta Constitution will send
cut a great “Exposition Num
ber” of that paper, chuck full of
facts and figures relative to the
many advantages Georgia possess
es over all other sections in op-
portunities for investments aud
home making.
Through just such advertising
schemes as thiB, persistently fol
lowed up, the lands of the great
Northwest iu a few years have ad
vanced from practically nothing
to one, two, three or more hun
dred dollarsiper acre. If the cap
abilities of Georgia lands were
made well known as these western
lauds, they would bring even bet
ter prices—for no man has ever
yet found out just how profitable
and productive an aore of Georgia
land can be made. We have nat
ural advantages not dreamed of
in the weBt.
The Atlanta Constitution has
v erygenerouBly offered LaGrange
and Troup county a page write
up in this “Exposition Number”
provided the Daily and Sunday
Constitution will be guaranteed
forty-five new subscribers at its
regular rates of $7.00 per year.

At the time of his death Mr.
Sutton was 41 years of age, and

He made his home in LaGrange

city limits—three hundred acres
of original forest.
It is an ideal place for the as
sembly of meeting aud work. In
the very heart of the grounds is a
beautiful lake of fresh water, cov
ering several acres. Arouud this
lake is a magnificent drive, nam
ed Willingham’s Circle, which,
when thoroughly completed, will
be the joy of all who drive, or
ride, or walk.
The auditorium is one of the
very best that I have seen ; it will
comfortably seat two thousand,
and from every part of the build
ing the speakers are easily heard.
These aimual gatherings of earn
est, capable Christian men and
women from all parts of Georgia
and ot the South, is bound to be
a great religions and educational
uplift to all that section of the
State.
For in the mountains and val
leys of Gilmer, Fannin, Union
and Towns counties, are noble,
sturdy fathers and mothers, who
rejoice that their sons and daugh
ters have a larger vision, larger
hope, larger life, than was possi
ble to them, back in days ante
dating the steam engine and the
railways, the highway of com
merce, and the herald of progress.
And, as the years agone, so-
ave even more so—in the years to
come, we shall see coming from
these mountain homes leaders
of splendid thought and noble
achievement, both in the forum,
the school-room and the pulpit.
Thank God for the mountains;

which acts as a guide to the pub

Mr. Delaney invites all to cull
and inspect their line whether
they intend purchasing or not,
and the force of clerks will take
pleasure showing you through
their large stock.
In The Eastern Markets.

New York, Baltimore and other

that he is purchasing the laigest
stock he has ever done, and will be
in position to give the people of
this section the greatest bargains
ever known.

the bleating of thoir flocks, and
the laughter of their lassies; for
the awe of their nights and the
grandeur ot their storms, when

they proclaim the Lord God to be
