many.

time and adversities. Mr. Smith will
give his personal attention to all busi
ness entrusted to him, and as he is
equally as well known as the com
panies he represents, any further
commendation or endorsement at our
hands would be superfluous.
Citizens Banking and Trust
Company.
Elsewhere will be found a statement
of tho condition of the above bank at
the close of business on Juno 30th,
1892. The statement will speak for
itself and wo refer the readers atten
tion to the same. The Citizens Bank
ing and Trust Company is one of the
solid institutions of tho town, and is
doing a good paying business. As to
the manner in which the affairs of the
bank aro managed the statement
above referred to amply testifies. 42.
The past annual meetings have
been numerously attended, and the
exhibitions of fruits and vegetables
practically demonstrated the vast
resources of Georgia as a producing
State. The impetus given to fruit
culture and horticultural taste
through the influence of the labors of
this Association are visible through
out tho whole commonwealth. The
forthcoming session, it is confidently
expected, .will he one of the most in
teresting and useful ever held by the
Society.
All horticulturists, fruit growers,
progressive agriculturists, and espec
ially the ladies of Georgia, are ear
nestly and cordially invited to attend
and send such articles for exhibition
as will make the display of Georgia
grown fruits, flowers and vegetables
creditable to the skill and prftgresa of
its people.
It is earnestly hoped that there will
be a full attendance of members from
every rection of the State, that cons
centrated information and experience
ot fruit growers may be obtained,
thus aiding the Society to perfect the
several catalogues of fruits and vege
tables adapted to each geographical
division. These catalogues are now
the recognized reliable guides of the
fruit growers of Georgia, and have
had a most wonderful influence in
developing its fruit-growing interests.
The Society was organized in 1876
by a few public spirited citizens who
have faithfully labored since lo pro
mote the fruit-growing industry ol
Georgia aud aid in tho higher educa
tion of its people. They have paid
with their purso and person, not oulv
freely giving their labor, but paying
for the publication of its proceedings,
which have been distributed free of
charge wherever they could serve the
aims of the Society. The only rove
nuo of the Society is derived from
the annual membership fees, and, as
this is lii ited, the Society is hampered
in its scope. We need the co-opera
tion of every progressive citizen of
Georgia. If you canuot attend the
session of the Society, aid it by be
coming a member aud enable it to
enlarge its sphero of usefulness.
Tho past work of the Society has
caused tho wonderful development of
the fruit-growing industry, which of
late has given several sections of the
State a most rapid increase in its land
values, as well os in an intelligent
class of settlers from other States.
You can still further aid in this good
cause by coming to Rome, affiliate
with the Society and enable it to show
in a practical way that the fruit aud
vegetable producing rescources ot
Georgia are second to none and supe
nor to those of many Jess favored
sections of the United States.
The citizens of Rome aro alive to
the importance of the forthcoming set
ston and will give you a hospitable
welcome.
The Southern Express Company,
with its usual liberality and interest
evinced in the success of the Society,
will carry free of charge all packages
of fruits, flowers and vegetables in
tended for the exhibition. Packages
should be addressed at follows:
“GEO. H. MILLER, Romo, Ga*,
for State Horticultural Society,” and
the name of sender plainly marked on
tho packaec. All articles for the
exhibition should bo sent to reach
the hall on Wednesday, August 3d,
not later than 10 o’clock a. m. A
full list of varieties should also bo
sent with the articles contributed,
that a full report may be mndc by
the Society.
Hotel rates havo been reduced to
The “Armstrong Hotel” will he

Application for membership must
be made to the undersigned before
July 15th, and further information
will bs giycn as regards reduced rates
of fare by the railroads.

Society as far as possible.

R. M. FLAGLER’S BIG SCHEME
To Bring South American Trade, to
the Doors of the Eastern
Market.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 4.—The
work of extending the St. Augustine
railroad to New Smyrna i3 rapidly
progressing. R. M. Flagler’s orders
are that trains must bo running be
tween those two points by August 1st.
In fact, tho road will he completed
by the first of next week.
Mr. Flagler’s project is to follow
the eastern coast to deep water. Men
are working at New Smyrna, and
large gangs are at Titusville, working
from that point both ways. Further
down the coast surveys are in prog
ress looking to the building of an im
mense iron pier, which shall cany
trains safely to the outer waters of
Biscayne.hay, where they can meet
vessels ot the largest tonnage and of
the greatest draught.
This means the most direct route
between the Atlantic seaboard cities
and the West Indies aud South
America, bringing New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore and Boston 180
miles nearer Havana than they now
are via Tampa. It means bringing
of the South American trade f ) tho
very doorsteps of the eastern markets
and the capturing from the Plant
system of the fast mail and it at
tendant trade and tra\ cl. It meanp,
also, that the deep water port of
Florida is to be at Miami nnd Bis-
cayne hay.
On top of this scheme is the project
to build a railroad from Biacnyne hay
over coral reefs, islands, keys nnd
shallow water right into the heart of
the city of Key- West, aud millions of
New York and Philadelphia capital
is behind it. The Clyde3 aro said to
be in tho Flagler project, and alto
gether the combination is a big one,
financially and in influence.

AH True
A poor man can make his little
money go further in the South ihan
any other section of this country.
4. man of moderate means can find
bolter opportunities in the South for
engaging in business than in any other
put of the country.
A manufacturer with limited capital
can find better sites, can buy h ; s raw
material-cheaper and can make larger
profits from his business in the South
than elsewhere tn the United States.
A man who can command, large
amounts of capita! can find in the
South opportunities for investments
that will pay him larger returns than
any other opportunities that the world
can offer.
The poor man must be industrious,
the man of moderate means must be
careful, the manufacturer must be a
master of his trade, and the capitalist
must have good judgement and use it.

Straw Hats!
IS THIS FOR YOU ?
It will interest youjtojknov that there j is
a largely increased demand lor our chocolate
sets, they seem to have taken popular fancy
by storm. We are not at any loss for an
explanation. Popular judgment dotsn’t
often make mistakes and it isn’t mistaken
this time. These sets have fallen into
general favor because they are designe 1
with the utmost care and skill and because
they are the result of artistic and studied
workmanship. What is perhaps as much
to the point a3 anything else that can be
said about them is that they are sold at
figures well within the reach of little in
comes.
