SOUTH GEORGIA’S GROWTH
Comptroller General W. ~A. Wright,
lias recently made a trip through South
Georgia and a portion of Florida, and he
was surprised at the evidences of thrift
and material growth that he saw on
every hand. Ho is thus quoted by the
Atlnnta correspondent of the Maccri
Telegraph!
"in my opinion/the day is not far
distant when Sonth Georgia will be the
most prosperous section of our state."
said Comptroller General Wright today,
•'ll limv be that already, 'bat if it is
not, it will bo that way soon. Why. I
never saw the like of interest boing taken
in .South Georgia and tlie northern part
of Florida in stock raising. Northern
and Western people are going there and
fencing in thousands of acres Mtfl stock
ing them With cattle. They buy the old
lands cheap and run wire fences nronnd
"There investors say that they con
ralw cattle at a very nominal cost and
that Cobs offers a good market for every
hoof offered for salo. The grassing is
tine and water in abundance. Sonth
Georgia in my opinion, offrrs tlso best
inducements of any place that I know
for this industry. When I iookod ont of
the car window and, saw the largo
ranges dotted with slook cattle I felt
llko I would Uko to live in that sootlen
of the state aud bo a cowboy the balance
of my life.”
What about that amount to build a
ginnery and grist mUl. Gentlemen

ready before fall business.

-vq^^-And a story of Commercial opportunity.
A comprehensive Lace Operation, such a one only the
largest business houses in the country could engage in, was
closed by us several weuksago, but on account of Custom
House Entanglements the Laces did not reach us until nww.
The largest buyers of celebrated America®: stores envied us for
this transaction, because Laces in this tremendous purchase
are not alone owned cheaply to the point of incredulity,. but
more so they are the pick and cream of Fashion,'and not a
yard amoug the ten thousand of dozens is anything bnt the
season’s choicest productions.
An exceptional combination purchase through an Eastern White
Goods trust, placing us in the possession of the mos&startling white goods
value ever recognized in this section of the country. Never before was
