Quite a bit of the lands were
mountain lands and were un-
suited for agricultural purposes
though all of it brought surpris
ingly high prfces fof lands and
mirks a new era-in land values
in North Georgia .
One very notifiable feature of
the sales was the fact that all
the lands were bought by Rabun
county folks. Mr. Lyons who
bought the first two tracts is
not a native of the county but
married a Miss Powell who was
born and reared in th©. county.
Mr, T. J. Ritchie lives in Haber
sham county but is a native of
Rabun county and owns a fine
farm adjoining the lands pur
chased at the sale.
Among the other purchasers
at the sale were Mr. E. Ham
by who bought 15.90 acres at
$200.00 per acre.
Col, T. T. Bynum bought 7.12
acres at $260.00 per acre.
Bob Ritchie bought 27,87 acres
at $100,00 per acre.

P. T A. MEETS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON
Last week quite a number of
our citizens attended the South
eastern Fair, in Atlanta, and
were surprised, but agreeably
so, when they saw the Rabun
county exhibit.
No concerted effort had been
made by our citizens to display
the wonderful products of the
county, but Mr.. J. A. Reynolds,
who has ever been active in the
promotion of any cause that
would lend prestage to the merits
of the county, hastily gathered
an exhibit and one that did cred
it to us. He was there and se
cured one of the premiums offer
ed for county exhibits
When one begins to think of
what the county could have done
and what the possibilities are
for such an advertising of the
c aunty one is made to wonder
why some of our younger men
do not take hold and help in the
matter.

14 —Atlanta Journal
Mr. Reynolds, though appear
ing much younjflr, has passed
the three score and ten, but he
gathered the exhibits for the
fair during the rainy week that
we had lately, when most men
said that the weather was too
bad to get out and look for
-tJiijjgs tb.atv were needed, to make
an exhibit, and with the time
allotted to get the things togeth
er and get them placed in the
fair be worked, incessantly, al.
most day and night.
Those who saw the splendid
exhibit and the excellent manner
of the arrangement of the ex
hibit were loud in their praise of
Mr. Reynolds and his son, J. J.,
who assisted his lather with the
work.
A number of South Georgia
and middle Georgia visitors we;pe
seen to linger at the Rabun coun
ty exhibit and admire the beau
tiful and excellent products that
were displayed from the county.
Our hat is off to Mr, Reynolds
and he deserves credit for untir
ing efforts in behalf of Rabun
county.
