TWO NEW TOWNS
IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
Valdosta, Gn., February 10. —
As an instance of the rapid de
velopment of this section the in
terest manifested in the opening
of the* territory through which
the Valdosta, Moultrie and West
ern railroad passes, is exceeding
anything of the kind ever wit
nessed in southern Georgia. Two
new towns have sprung up on the
line between this city and .Moul
trie, with a rapidity and boom
rivalling that of some of the west- ,
ern towns in the gold days.
The lirst of these towns is Cutes,
0 miles west, of here and the oth
er Berlin, 27 miles from Valdosta.
The latter town is owned by the
railroad company, and it is pre
paring to have an auction sale of
residence and business lots on the
22d instant. The section round .
each of these now towns is ex- j
1 remely prolific, but is undevel
oped. The land tor miles stir- ;
rounding Berlin, are regarded as
probably the finest soil in the
country for certain kinds of crops. '
In fact, the entire line of road i
traverses an unusually rich sec-;
turn, passing through Lowndes.
Brooks and Colquitt counties.
Inquiries received from people in i
middle and North Georgia, as j
well us in other parts of the conn-1
try, indicate t hat there will lie a j
regular hegira to the new terri- |
lory during this year, and t.ho
prospect for the rapid growth ot
the tow ns is regarded as unusual
ly bright.

EDUCATION IN GEORGIA
COSTS GREAT SUM.
\tlanta, Feb. 18—About SL
-250,u00 annually for education in
Georgia! According to the report
being compiled m the otlice of
State School Commissioner Jere
M. Pound from intoriuatiou sent
m by the commissioners of the 110
enmities in t his state, it is esti
mated that fully f 2.000.000 will
he credited to education over anil
above the annual appropriation i f
12,250,000. ’
Those reports from the county
school commissioners show money
devoted to educational purposes,
that has never been recorded or
credited to the state. This money
comes from incidental fees, tui
tion, bequests, local taxation,mu
nicipal uid and from various other
sou roes.
One county—Forsyth-—for in
stance, show - an increase of * 1 ,0i)0
over and above the state's appro
priation. This is one of the small
er counties in the state, the
amounts reported from other larg
er counties being correspondingly
larger in proportion. When the
reports have l**en compiled it is
estimated that the state will find
that at leasts2,ooo,oooannually is
being spent for educational pur
poses for which this state has nev
er received credit. I

'■ount y, 500 gallons of the finished

rels, was carted to the L. it N.

an ox team being pressed into ser
vice. During the journey of four
miles the team was stalled.
The day before this stdl was
found a still owned by Ab Flood,
on Fort mount,uui, was destroyed.

“NIGHT RIDERS.”
Cineiirtiati, February 17. —The
Hist blow struck by the In ited

NEW AUTOMOBILE FOR
LIVERY BUSINESS.
The Hicks Livery Stables of
this place have ordered and will
soon have in service a splendid
automobile, to be used in con
nection with their teams. Tin
shows some enterprise on the part
of the young men owning this bu
siness, and will be the first ma
chine owned by Mt. Vernon par
ties. However, before another
year, the town can probably claim
a number ot machines.
