cies of the Southern Mutual Building

Ga., and Edward Elder, general travl

remain here a lew days. While these
gentlemen are here ourpeople should
co-operate with each other in secur¬
ing a branch of this Association and
reap the benefit to be derived from
connection with a financial
association, national in its scope
and possessing unlimited capital.
In response to applications, branch
associations have recently been es¬
tablished at Brunswick, Wajcross,
Cartersv* le, Barnesville, Forsyth,
Thomaston and other towns and
cities iu Georgia, Florida, South Car¬
olina and other Southern States.
Griffin should improve this opportu¬
nity and add this impor¬
tant enterprise to her constantly
increasing business institutions.
Inanity there is strength; and there
is not a more potent factor known
to the American people for utilizing
sma” earnings and converting
rentors into landlords than a well
managed Building and Loan Asso¬
ciation.

THE CONVENTiON.
THE ASSEMBLING OF GEOR¬
GIA’S HORTICULTURISTS.
The Preparations to Receive Them
and theProgramme for the
TI ree .Days.
Yesterday afternoon the delegates
to the State Horticultural conven¬
tion began to arrive and were met at
the train by the reception committee
and assigned to their places of enter-
tairment. They a.ea fine looking
set of people end evidently people
who have come to dispense and gain
knowledge of horticulture.
Mr. H, W. Hasselkus, with the
work of a half dozen men qu bis
hands, has been busy receiving ship¬
ments of fruit and preparing them
for exhibit and hardly has time to
answer a question put to him.
The brick warehouse, where the
exibite of fruits are to be made, is a
wonder of loveliness, the ladies com¬
mittee having taken this in charge
and decorated it with garlands and
rare flowers until its rough wa ’s un¬
der their magnetic touch has become
a place of beauty. Patterson’s hall,
too, where the operetta is to render¬
ed to-night, has been decorated in a
beautiful manner and the touch of
lovely women is displayed on every
side.
The court house, which has been
but recently ornamented, w>U be the
soene of the formal reception of the
Horticulturists this morning, where
the address of welcome will be deliv¬
ered apd the convention be opened
