A five o’clock breakfast; a Id-mile
spin through the cool frosty air, be
hind Engineer Green’s steam motor;
a twelve mile drivo behind one of
Fletcher's teams through one of the
prettiest countries the sun ever
shown on,—and you are in an
other land! Little Pennsylvania
isn’t in it at all, for heie are Min
nesota, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Kansas, the Dakotas, and thirty
other states of the Union, .
Hundred* now are safely .landed
On tho fair, South Georgia shore;
Hundred* more are on the journey,
Yet there’s room for thousands roore.
Thirty years ago, the G, A. It.
marched through Georgia, and in its
path loft sorrow and desolation; three
decades later the veterans, now grey-
haired, grim-yisageil and toil-worn,
are in Georgia in force again, and in
their patii follows civilization, coloni
zation and education, and over their
reunion Peace joins hands with Plen
ty, and wealth and prosperity follow
in its wake.
Between eight and twelve hundred
colonists are now oil the grounds,and
all the way back, from Georgia to
Minnesota, they’re “Corning, Fitzie,
Coming,” countless hundreds more,
to the tune of “Marching to Georgia.”
The land on which the colony will
settle is some of the best I huve ever
seen, even in South Georgia, ft is
just rolling enough for perfect drain
age, and there is no better farming
laud in tin state. ’The majority of it
is well timbered.
sell lots of them. They have em
barked,in business on their own cap
ital, without borrowing a cent of
money, and witli energy and enter
prise, have built up a large and in
creasing trade.
The inevitable J. F. Stone, of the
Savannah News, was there. Col.
Stone narrowly escaped a nomination
for congi ess, and an election to the
legislature, only to fall a,victim to a
Colonelcy on the governor’s staff. t
New people, to the number of 25
to 60 are arriving every day and have
to pile their bedding and household
goods down on the ground until a
temporary shack can be erected for
them. All the business is being done
in wooden or cloth tents, many of
them being built of slabs from the
saw mill, set upright, with cloth
covers. The largest market and
restaurant in the place is under a
cloth tent. In a few days the allot
ment will be made, and then tbestf
people will be showing us what Yan
kee thrift and enterprise will do.
There is no means of estimating
the number that is coming, but it
will probably be sufficient to make a
great change in the county, politi
cally and otherwise. These people
seem to be paying but very little at
tention to politics, but intent on es
tablishing a home ainid the sunny
slopes and balmy breezes of tho
South, And every true-hearted
Georgian bids them “God-speed.’'

VANCE. Tills applies to one and all.
Our reason for adopting this system Is that
fifteen years’ experience In VVlrcgrass Oeorgla
journalism teaches us that,
It Is the fairest and best, both for publisher
amt patron;
Ity Its strict enforcement, the stilmenher haB a
1 mtter paiicr, and the publisher more frlonds and

It Is unfair to send a man more goods than he
orders, and then expect him to pay forthem;
It Is the enly means by which amicable anil
fraternal relations can be maintained between
publisher and patron;
If the credit system will ruin any other busi
ness, where It Is not accompanied by credit
prices, then It will ruin the newspaper busbies*
as well. Therefore, we drop It.
The paper, a* It now BtandB, is a ropresentatfyp
one, both of this icity and section. It Is worth
every cent of the money asked for It, auil we In
tend to make It better -every mouth. To those
who are willing to pay for It, we are anxious to
send It; we see nothing to ho gained liy forcing
It on others.

into us by experience along the Credit Path. Commencing our
present business, we adopted the cash system, which has been so satis
factory and so much better for ourselves and customers that we will
never buy or sell any other way. If you are traveling the credit path,
change your way at ogee—come over to our side, adopt the "Money v
Down, Bargain System.” Why? Because the credit man pays thirty’,
sixty, seventy, and one hundred per cent, profit, when the spot cash
buys at the small advance of ten per ce#it. See the difference?
MONEY talks, and implores you to stop the leaks'with bargains
from our counters. Our store is constantly filled with customers wlyo
realize they are buying at saving prices.
