Editor Recorder:—Your corres
pondent is “away down upon the
Ctmctawhatchle, far, far away!” in
the fast growing and beautiful little
town of Gencrn, Alabama, in
short distance of the Florida line,
and a sweet feeling for tliedavs that
are gone of old Georgia and her
people and Atnericus, well up in
my heart as I write you from South
east Alabama, and give your read
ers an account of our state, our
lands, our pcoole and our pure
bright skies, for no inattor where
we roam, whether in one state or
another, it is our own sunny south
land that is dear to all cur hearts.
There aru few towns south that has
a brighter future before it that
Genera, the place from which I
write. Situated on the Chactaw-
hatcliic River, and having a direct
communication by boat with the
Pensacola & Atlantio Railroad to
Caryville, twenty miles lrom
Geneva, Ala, and from thence by
cars to Savannah, Mobile and New
Orleans, Geneva’s commercial ad-
van tagesy on can see are good. This
year much of the cotton from the
upper counties of Dale, Coffee and
Henry has come to Geneva, and
in another season much of the cot.
ton which has gone to Trey and
Eufauia will come to Genera and
go from .’hero to Savannah and New
Orleans.
You correspondent has recently
been up in Dale.md Coffee counties
noiith of here, and tUqru saw, great
sighs ot improvement among the
farmers. I saw fat pigs, fat horses
and cribs full of home made corn
and fodder. Newton and Elba are
pretty little towns, and while there
I saw some of the finest water
power in America. I have visited
twenty States in the Union, seen
the One water power at Fall River
and Columbus, but havo never seen
anything to. excell the excellent
water power at Elba and Newton
for the purpose of manufacturing
cotton. What they need here
capital to make this ono of the
richest and most prosperous coun
tries in Amcricn. This will apply
to all of out Southern States, and
let us hope the day will come when
capital and immigration will look
Sou. hward, and people, Instead of
“going west” will go south. In
these counties of Geneva, Dale,
Coffee and Henry: from where I
write, are thousands of acres of
public land, which can be entered
cheap by any one who wishos a
home in a good healthy a :d pros
perous portion of Alabama.
Let us invite capital and immi
"ration to our border, a thing that
the South has too much neglected.
Florida and Texas have Bureaus
of Immigration, and Alabama and
Georgia have done but little in this
way, and look at the result in
Florida and Texas. Our city of
Genera is rapidly Oiling up and
many new enterprises, have started
j here. Messrs. McLaughlin k Mar-
’ tin have here one of tho.bcst tur
pentine stills in the South and have
muck money .invested and a large
force at work on.(tho east side of
Ckoctawhatckic, east of Geneva.
There is One timber here, snd the
best pine torest I ever saw.
The New Year 1884 will open
with bright prospects for the pco.
pie of the South, and let us hope
and strive to make the future of
