TOBACCO GROWERS BUY FARM
LANDS IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
Moultrie Observer.
Practically every week finds re
ports in the Georgia papers of farms
sold to tobacco growers from the
Carolinas and Virginia, says the
Blackshear Times.
These farmers have heard by re
ports from those who have previous
ly come to Georgia from these states
of the adaptability cf the Georgia
lands for the growing of tobacco.
It is certain' that this immigration
will increase.
Not only will the production of to
bacco in South Georgia in all prob
ability be more than doubled in the
next year or two, but the population
will be decidedly increased.
This is a prospect that we wel
come.
This section will be more prosper
ous when it lias a larger number of
small farms each cultivated by an
experienced, hard-working farmer.
But in looking forward to this
increase in population the counties
must prepare for a greater demand
for better school facilities, for im
proved roads, for more frequent
recreation, for better churches, etc.
South Georgia has th* land ana
the climate.
It must also be a place where
a people can enjoy living and find
it profitable to live.

“EVENING”
By Winifred Felder.
By the side of a peaeful mirror-like
brook.
Winding dreamily on to the sea,
Rests a little brown moss-covered cot
Midst a foroßt of tall, solemn trees.
By the lingering rays of the dying sum
The heavens are daintily tinted,
And they vainly gaze at themselves
in the stream
Where rippling shadows hide.
Ah! Nature reflects man’s life anon
In this peaceful evening scone,
For night will hide it all too soon,
Never to be seen again.
Beautiful is the evening of life,
For night is coming fast,
Life is what you make of it—
Make the present a pleasant past.
