Take a Hand.
To the News, Griffin, Ga.
4 Amertcus, Ga., March 13.—The
Centra! Railroad Company of Gear
gia haviug in connection with the
State Agricultural Society, organized
a State Bureau of Immigration and
placed me in charge of the same, I
would ask your co-operation in carry
ing out its pluns, which are substan
tially as follows:
WHAT IT MOPOSES TO DO.
In order to a: first call the alten
tion of people seeking new homes, it
is proposed to publish a monthly
eight-page paper, to be called the
“The Southern Empire,“ in which
will be given a general description of
the agricultural, mineral, timber, and
manufacturing resources of the state,
together with such statistics as may
prove valuable and interesting. In
addition to this general description,
each county will be asked to furnish
a brief description of its advantages
and inducements to settlers, its pro
ducts, woods, minerals, price of
lands, etc., so as to give every locali
ty an interest in the movement and a
fair showing in the benefits that
may accrue. Of course, uo one issue
can contain alt this information, but
each issue will contain a description
of several counties indifferent see
tions of the .State. There will also
be published a condensed list of
lands for sale in different sections
of the State, so as to show whet
farms and timber land can actually
be purchased for. A department of
the paper will be devoted to answer
ing inquiries of people from other
States who are looking toward Geor
gia with a view to making it their
home. From 5 000 to JO,000 copies
of this paper will be printed each
montn, and they will be mailed to
the addresses of farmers and others
throughout the Northern States.
Through the influence and efforts
of the Centra! road, low rat* s will be
secured for land seekers in small par
ties, and every'opportunity be afford
ed them to examine the country. Ex
cursione will be organized from time
to time, and every advantage taken
of low rates to induce homo seekers
to come down and see the advantag
es we offer. Correspondence will be
opened and kept up with persons at
a number of points throughout the
North; circulais, papers and pam
phlets mailed to parties who are
known to be desirous of changing
their residence, and every effort
male to attract attention to our
States,
In order to protect land seekers
from imposition and annoyance, a
land ageut will be appointed in each
county, who will prepare a list of
lands, with full descriptions and
terms of sale, and each intending
buyer will be given a card of intro
duction to the agent of the county
be proposes to visit. These agents
will report to the manager of the bu
reau each Bale made, who to, and at
what price, so that a recordpnay be
made and kept of all settlers.
A special,car, handsomely decorat
ed, will be fitted up, and in it will bo
placed a condensed exhibit of the
products of Georgia—agricultural,
mineral, woods and manufacturing.
This car will be sent North next fail
and the exhibit shown at the various
Stale and district fairs, and at the
same time there will be distributed
such pamphlets, circulars and papers
as the counties may contribute,
thU3 affording each locality an excel
lent means of advertising its resour
ces.
In order to show to the fullest ex
tent the agricultural resources of
Georgia, large excursions will be or
gauized in various sections of the
north, and brought down to the State
Fair next fall. After the excursion
isle have looked npon and studied
this aggregate display, an opportune
ty Will be afforded them to visit any
and all portions of the stale that they
may wish, at low transportation
rates. This will be u great induce
meat for counties to make fine dis
plays, for, naturally, the excursion
ista will bo attracted to those coun
ties m iking fine exhibits.
I wish you would call the attention
of (ho peoplo of your city and coun
ty to the purposes of the Bureau, and
see that a brief sketch of your re
sources and advantages is prepared
for publication in our monthly paper,
and if you can furnish any cuts of
prominent buildings or attractive
scenery, please do so. and it will be
published free of charge.
It will be remembered that this Bu
reau is organized for the benefit of
the whole State, not for any particu
lar section, and we wish nnd hope to
receive the cordial co-operation of
the people of the entire State.
If you should have aDy pamphlets,
papers, circulars, or other descrip
tive matter of your city and county,
we shall bo pleased to aid you in
their distribution throughout the
North, and in every way that we can
advertise your section.
Hoping to receive your aid and co
ooeration in advertising the ndvant
ages of our grand old “Empire
State’ 1 and in inducing an intelligent
and industrious class of citizens from
the more thickly populated States to
share those advantages with us, I
am. Truly yeurs,

Ingalls’ Indecent Attack.
Philadelphia Times.
It will be hard for any of the
Stalwart candidates to get ahead of
iDgalls. As a thorough going Bour
bon, who believes that 1888 is 1861
and that the war between the North
and South is still going on, Ingalls
has captured ti e entire bakery nnd
left but small crumbs for those that
may come after him. Some parts of
his speech, including a personal at
tack on the President, were simply in
decent, and the more disgraceful iB
the position of prominence to which
Ingalls has been elevated by bis
partisans. But if a public mau is
compelled to live among the graves
he falls naturally into ghoulish ways,
and Ingalls is rather to be pitied
than condemned. He would be a
bright man if bis party wonld allow
him to catch up with u.e times.

AFTER TWO YEARS.
SAU TALE OF THE DELE
GATE'S RETURN
From the Service of Hid State, to Find
His Wife's Alectiona Alienated and
Bestowed Upon Another.
We were in Judge Hammond's
office the other day when a colored
gentleman stepped in and wanted
the Judge to aue his wife for a di
vorce, and when asked to tell bis
story he said:
“Well, in 1884 I sought and ob
tained the band in marriage of my
sable charmer and I believed that I
possessed her whole heart. I felt as
il I breathed a new atmosphere. I
walked an air. I felt that the poit
was writing about me and my wife
when he wrote,
‘Two sonls with but a single thought,
Two hearts th t beat as one.’
“But change is written npon all na
tore and all human life. Today ev
erything is bright—the proapect for
life is long— Providence has blessed
us with health and paaca nnd plenty,
our friends are tried and faithful and
true. But, alas!
Nothing ‘They change as all things change here,
in this world can last.’
“In the summer of 1885 the dwe'
ling house of a gentleman in this
county was broken open and u small
amount ot money taken therefrom,
which created considerable excite
menl in the neighborhood, and the
excitement extended even into the
grand jury which was then in sea
sion, who after some inquiry into
tba matter 6eemed to get the idea in
thoir minds that l was iu some way
concerned, at least they seemed to
suspicion that I had something to do
with changing the possession of that
money, and concluded to make spe
cial mention of such suspicion in a
set of resolutions which were framed
by that august body, which I be
Iteve they called a bill of indictment,
in which something was said about
burglary and some hints were made
which were not all complimentary
to me. Mr. Connell, the sheriff, was
very kind and considerate, and at the
suggestion of Mr. Sol. Gen. Womack,
waited on me and informed me of
the report which the grand jury bad
got out about me, and asked me to
step up to the court bouse and see
Mr. Womack about it. Mr. Womack
seemed to think that if 1 remained
down m that neighborhood or even
in Spalding county, I would constant
ly be annoyed by some uuthoughl
ful persons making chance allusions
to the substance of the report of tba
grand jury, a ! rfeined to have an
idea that if 1 should go to some wa
tering place and remain a while that
would be the last of it. He suggest
ed the Chattahoochee river, just
above Atlanta. He suggested that
he could get the special jury to rec
ominend me as a fit and proper per
son, and as to ray qualifications that
he could have the judge also to en
dorse and approve the endorsement
of the special jury and then I could be
sent as a deiegegate from this coun
ty to the convention of brick makers
then assembled on the batiks of the
Chattahooc\ce river. He said that
it would cost me nothing to g and
nothing tc stay while I was in attend
ar:ce on the convention and that my
qualifications were such that I might
lend material aid in developing one
of the most important industries of
this country. Although I did not
think that X had any taste for the
public service, yet to show myap
preciation of the earnest efforts which
were being made in my behalf to
have me chosen as one of the dels
gates to that convention, I wrote a
short note on the back of the resolu
tioDS of the grand jury which they
called a plea—just one word. My
credentials were then made out and
properly certified, and so soon as it

experienced delegates who were
there from all purls of the state.
Contrary to the usual rule, while I
did not forget my old friends, I read
ily made new ones and becamo very
soon strongly attached to them and
they to me. We were bound togeth
er, as it were, by bauds of iron and
links of steel and I soon found that
I could not tear myself away from
my new acquaintances, the new at
tachment was so strong and they
clustered around me and stuck clos
er to me than brothers". We were
inseparable; we threw our mud into
the same moulds; we bore our brick
to the same kiln; we walked with
the same step; wo partook together
our regular meals, and like one great
family we wore the same kind of
clothes and only changed them once
a week. Alter two years had expir

tore of brick was acknowledged by
all, and tho master of ceremonies in
formed me that my strong attach
ment to my companions mu»t be
broken asunder in order that my
place might be taken by new dele
gates who had less experience, but
who were ready to take my place in
the convention, and that I could re
turn to the home I had left aid “The
girl I left behind me” and to friends,
whom I trusted had not forgotton
me. So I bade farewell to those
with whom I bad been su long and
bo closely connected and returned to
my county which I had so faithfully
represented, and to my sorrow I
found that my wife bad goue back on
me and look up with another fellow,
and so I want a divorce.”
