THREE BIG CITIES.
WHERE THE TRADE OF THIS
RICH SECTION GOES.
AUGUSTA, ATHENS AND ATLANTA IN AN
EARNEST AND HONEST RIVALRY
FOR THE BEST BUSINESS.
That this section of Georgia abound.*
in natural riches and resources of a very
high order, has long been demonstrated;
that its possibilities are but partially de
veloped, and therefore present a perma
nent field for increase and investment,, is
uviu mtciumoiii, if
admitted; and that its trade will one da\
constitute a wondrous proportion of tin
whole interior business of the State a*
the present rivulet of immigration swells
into a stream, is plainly foreseen. Hence
the long-headed business men of the ad
jacent cities are hotly and heartily con
testing for the trade of Greene and con
tiguous counties in this marvelously fa
vored latitude. We propose in the fol
lowing columns not only to demonstrate
that this is true, and that these alert bu
siness interests are yearly breaking new
grou'nd and building future returns lier<
about, but we propose, if the reader wi
attend us along our catalogue of familia.
names, to point out the men in “three Dig
cities" who are destined in time to con
trol the trade of this group of counties,
and whose integrity, enterprise and busi
ness methods would win them an eutrj
into any part of the universe: •

A liook is always a tasteful and apprecia

of generosity and thoughtfulness on the
part of the giver, a subtle compliment to
the intelligence and character of the recip

♦ometimes evince critical judgment in the
♦election of the book. In this he often
gives a key to his own tendencies of thought.
But it would never do to impose a ceremo
nial tushion of selecting literature, and the
need of it has been ilone away with by the
keen interposition of the bookseller, who
selects for his stock such volumes as clearly
convey their character in their contents
and authorships. For instance, we know
what are the standard works; then we
know which are the standard dealers, and

books, hymnals, and unique holiday good?
of this kind, we proceed without hesitanci

Holiday presents of late years may with
itter propriety consist in anything which
he giver in his own good judgment might
•lect to proffer; but, after all, there is con
siderable joy, or not, in the receiver, ac
cordingly as the gift is enduring, strik
ing. costly, needful or intriusically val
uable. On this account handsome and
Merling gifts of jewelry or watches, or
•ven trinkets, have lately been deemed for
good reasons to be the thing for holiday
presents. The main point, however, is
is to the place yon can in all rsspects best
purchase such. We should say that Scud
ler’a was the place.

scription of which holiday presents are
