IMMIGRATION.
‘.rilE CENTRAL’S BUREAU AND THE
STATE FAIR.
TO THE l’BOPLK OK GEORGIA:—
The Central Riul Road, m connec
tion with the State Agricultural So
ciety, has just established a Bureau
of Immigration, that promises great
good to the State, if the people will
give to it their encouragement and
active aid. The object of tins com
munication is to get the plans of
the Bureau fully and properly before
the public, in order that all the dif
Cerent sections of the State may co
operate in bringing their help to the
enterprise. j
The Central Authorities have se
lected Mr. W. L. Glessner, ol Ameri
cub, a gentleman in every way quali-1
lied to take the management of the
Bureau. Mr. Glessner will begin,at.
an early day, the publication of a
monthly paper, to be known as “The
Southern Empire,” devoted to the
Agricultural and Industrial interests
of the State.
The purpose of this publication
will he to dissiminatc, throughout
the North and West, reliable infor
mation about our climate, soil, field
crops, minerals, woods, etc., etc., in
order to induce parties from these
sections to purchase our unoccupied
lands, take up their residence with
us and help us to build up the mate
rial interests of the State. Ten thous
and copies of “The Southern Em
pire,” will bo distributed where they
will effect the most good.
About mid-summer, the Central
will fit up a handsome Car, beauti
fully lettered in the name of the So
ciety, to he filled with samples of
vegetables, field crops, minerals,
woods etc., etc., illustrative of the
resource of the State. The car will
be taken, under the management oi
Mr. Glessner, to the State and dis
trict fairs of the North and West, to
aid, more effectually, in advertising
the State, With this car, Mr. Gless
ee r will spend several months in the
States north of us, in the interest of
immigration. In addition to the co
pies of “The Southern Empire taken
with him, Mr. Glessner will he glad
to carry also, any number of circu
lars and pamphlets, furnished him
by any county or section desiring to
advertise its general advantages. It
must be understood that the Central
docs not confine this scheme to its
own line of roads, but it. is desired
that the benefits shall he aU parts of
the state equally and alike.
During his stay North, Mr. Gless
nei will make up large excursion
parties to be brought to the State
Fair. The car under his charge is
intended to represent Georgia in
miniature, and the State Fair is ex
pected to illustrate the products and
resources of the State abundantly
and in profusion. The success of
the undertaking, therefore, must de
pend largely upon the success of the
State Fair. If the counties, desiring
immigration will send to the State
Fair large exhibits,beautifully arrun
god, our visitors from the North will
bo interested and attracted, and we
will doubtless secure large numbers
of them as settlers. If, on the other
hand the people of the State are in
different and allow the State Fair to
be a failure, the Bureau of Immigra
tion will he a failure also, and we
will he left again to the slow meth
ods of the past that bring gradual
decay. In addition to these unusual
advantages, the counties making
exhibits can enter lor the splendid
premiums offered by the society for
the best
We will bo glad to make room in
our agricultural building for any
and every county that will bring us
worthy exhibits of Held crops, vege
tables. minerals, woods, etc. Appli
cations for space should be made as
early as possible, so that we may de
termine in time the additional build
ings necessary to accomodate
exhibits.
I T . correspondence . with . ,
am now in
the railroads of the State to secure
the lowest possible rates for the
transiiortation of exhibits. Many of
the ., roads , have , agreed , to . take , , county .
•
exhibits .... to Macon ,, and , return . ,, them
without charge for freight. The re
sults of my efforts with other roads
will be given to the public in due
time.
In its plans Central for does building up with the
State, the not stop
seated. the scheme for authorities immigration of here the pre
The road
I found equally in earnest to help in
introducing whatever cl ranges may
he needed, in bringing about better
methods upon our farms, that will
produce better results and establish
thrift and prosperity’among our own
lieople. lu addition to subscribing
liberally to the funds of tho Agricul
tnral Society, the Central has offered
the Society every facility for dissem
inating useful information among
the farmers, and for bringing them
together in local and district clubs,
for the purpose of counsel and con
cert of action.
Realizing the benefits that
come to farmers by an actual com pax
ison of methods and .results, Mr
S. bolknap, General A anager of tnc
Central, authorizes me to say that
the Central will transport, free from
all charges for freight, all exhibits
intended for local fairs, held under
the management of the State Agricul
tuial Society.
Surely there is nothing jleft to be
added to the action of ths Central in
the scheme that it has opened up for
the good of the State. This is hut
the beginning of an enterprise which,
the Central is willing to continue,as
long as the people will lend the help
necessary to carry it through.
The State Fair is to he a large fac
tor in the-resnlts to come: from this
scheme. It is a State institution held
not in the interest of any one section,
or for the exclusive benefit of any
one class,hut forj,he purpose of de
veloping all the resources of t he
State. Under Represent advantages,
from its connection with ^heCentrals
Bureau of Immigration, the generous
aid'offered by .other ’roads,und the
services tendered by the press of the
State, it deserves the http of every
patriotic citizen, that is may meet
the highest expectationsjor good. It
will be my pleasure to answer any
inquiries upon the subject matter of
tiffs communication.
Papers'favorable to the enterprise
will'please,, publish.

excellence, and the perfect satisfaction they give to planters.
While most of the popular brands on the market in past years bavo
changed the grade of their goods by lowering their grade, Merryman
lias continually improved. We do not make these statements at random.
We refer to any plainer in Jones and Jasper counties who have used
errymau’s Guano, and will stake oar reputation on the result.
—WE ALSO HANDLE—
for composting, which is the highest grade aeid on the market. We sell
cheaper aeid phosphates; also Kuimt, and are agents for the Macon Oil
& Fertilizer Company’ l'or the sulo of their Cotton Seed Meal.
We can give low prices on these goods, and are ready to deliver now.
Our Agents will call on tho good people of Jones and Jasper coun
