Many look upon this as only due
of the many station* on the CeufcaL
R. R.
They are tbe uninitiated who have
never visited tbe little station, which
is situated about four miles north of
Griffin. In foot almost suburb of - ^ our 5
it is a
radidly growing town, and as stwht
our people will take quite an inforest
in it. .
In April, 1887, just sixteen months
ago, a number of prominent ‘to***
growers and farmers conclude* th%
a station should be allowed them at
what had been formerly knows as
“Gray’s Crossing,” travelers. used on£ They J>y

til a recognition has been
that older villages would be proud
where accommodation trains eould
be stopped to let off und on passen¬
gers, and the mail was thrown off
and token on while going at full
speed. Swih te notths«as»now.
This small station that sprung up
from the woods has become so im¬
portant that the Central railroad
has granted a side track and stops
its fastest trains for the actommeda-
tion of those living near. How was
this accomplished? Simplyby every¬
one polling together and acting as a
unit for foe welfare of the place. No
disenting voice was heard when a
project was discussed that would
benefit the section and no pains and
labor were spared to carry the pro¬
ject through- When the Central
railroad demurred at the Cost of
placing a side track at Pomona, her
plucky citizens came together and
agreed to have the grading done at
their own expense and only required
foe railroad to furnish cross ties and
rails and lay the track. In this, as
in all other projects, they did not
hesitate to “put their shoulders to
the wheel” and pulled the enterprise
through. •
It is true, that as yet, Pomona
has hardly taken off its “swaddling
clothes,” bwt one firm, that of C. A.
Crocker, does a business of 820,000
per annum, and it is all mi a safe
basis. Mr. Crocker is also postmas
ter and agent for tbe Southern ex¬
press company, and is making money,
and such wide-awake and progressive
young men deserve to do. His
father, 8. S. Crocker, came down
to this station about 1888 prospect¬
ing, returned home and finally tame
hack and invested inland upon which
the present site of Ppmona is locat¬
ed. Mr.' Crocker is delighted not
Only with tbe healthfulnees of oar
climate, but the many ways of mak¬
ing a fortune and living pleasantly
In onr climate. He says the fruit
crop is a complete success financial¬
ly, and that the fruitgrowers around
Pomona have every reason to feel
jubilant over the assured success of
the village.
Right at the station is the farm,
orchard and vineyards of A. and J.
Sutherland, who came to this section
from Canada about 1884, and who
hare certainly no reason to leave the
home of their adoption. As one
gentleman remarked, “all foie Suth¬
erland’s need are good wives.” They
are men who are industrious, sober,
and honest citizens, who have made
fruit culture a study and who
thoroughly understand raising it for
profit. In a green-house 24x14 feet
they have nine varietice of foreign
grapes that they raise to perfection,
and this year shipped trom that
smaR enclosure 100 packages of
grapes that netted them a geod
profit, in spite of the cost of raising
the fruit Under glass. The black
Hamburg and white Syrian grapes
have proven the most successful
growers; some bunches of tbe latter
weighing nearly three pounds. Th*
Sntheriands have also put up an
evaporator and are using up the sur¬
plus peaches and grapes in that sec¬
tion. and from specimens shown ths
News and Son, we judge that an ex¬
cellent raisin can be made at Po¬
mona. '
Philip Smith, one of foe best
known nurserymen in this section,
has located his nurseries at Pomona
and is highly Mated at the prospect
for the success of the village. In con¬
versation he said:
“Pomona will one day be the most
important village near Griffin; al¬
ready we do more busineee here than

energy can accomplish if backed by
natural advantages and the determ¬
ination of every one interested to
