Beautiful Farms, Splendid Citi zens and Hospitable People.— No Section Can Surpass It. Some of the citizens of Barrow eountj , who do not go into the dif ferent sections, are not aware of tin 1 fact that out a few miles from W inder, on the road leading to Bowman’s Mill, is one of the pret tiest and most progressive little commuiiilv towns to he found in Georgia or any <>ther state. This is the < ’cut ral Academy com iminity. one of the leading public schools of the eouiitv, and for a mile and a half square you will find a densely populated section which was practically in woods thirty-five years ago. Now tin' main public highway and all the roads leading out from it are dotted with nice and attract ive homes, splendid outbuildings, and beautiful little farms, present ing an appearance that catches the eye of the stranger, causing him to stop and think of the wonderful transformation which has taken place in so short a time and what, can he accomplished by energy progressiveness and the determi nation of the citizens of a commu nity. Everything in this community town indicates prosperity, content ment and a high order of farming. The farms are small, in a high state of cultivation, the crops di versified and every one of them self-sustaining. 4 None of them ever buy bay, corn or any of the things which can he grown, and as a natural result all are prosperous and mak- ing money. It is a community proud of its splendid citizenship, its fine school and of its wonderful growth and development. Forty years ago there were only three settlements in this now tliriv ing community town; these three heind the Casper place, the pres ent home of Mr. J. 11. Casper. Pen to. >s‘ place, where Mr. W. D. lli!l now lives, and the old Hill place, the present home of Mr. John P. Hill. Now it is almost a town in population for a radius of one and a half miles square.

Giles is the oldest man in this community town, his home being in the center of this flourishing section where you will find no better and more up-to-date farmers and hospitable citizens in the union. It will he a revelation and inspi ration to many of our people in Barrow as well as other counties to visit this community town, see the beautiful farms and attract.ve homes. Politics will be lively from now until tlie* primary. It is unfortu nate that men under excitement and in their zeal for favorite can didates will try to prejudice the voters by telling things detrimen tal to those they oppose and things they know have no foundation. Ev ery man ought to be voted for on merit and fitness for positions of trust and lie fair and just to oppo nents
