A Good Advertiser.
Mr. W. H. Leahy, General Pas
senger Agent of the A. B. it A. is
one of the best advertisers of south
Georgia. He writes the editor of
Moultrie Observer:
Mv Dear Sir: I have noted the
excellent article in your issue of the
30th ult. with reference to good cit
izens locating in Colquitt couhty.
In our campaign of publicity and
our efforts to bring good, progres
sive citizens to south Georgia, my
observation is that Colquitt county
is fully alive to the great benefits to
be derived from this development
and her enterprising people have
done much to exploit the many ad-
” vantages of Wiregrass Georgia.
I take occasion to assure the peo
ple of Moultrie and Colquit county,
that the A. B. & A. R, R. will leave
nothing undone lb bring about the
best results in this development
work. We want to co-operate close
ly with the people in this great
work. We have doubled our ad
vertising space in the larger dailies
of the north and west and inquiries
are coming to us by the hundreds.
We gave out about 25,000 pieces of
literature at our booth in the south
ern exhibit at the Ohio Valley Ex
position, held at Cincinnati, and
which closed on Sunday last. We
had a represensative there, well
qualified to speak for south Georgia
and he was kept busy continuously
talking for

you ever asked yourself if you were 1
wbrthy of her company? Could you I
tell her what you did last week!
Ask yourself that question. A
man can *be any thing he wants to ,
be. The world is open to you: the
ways are open to cleaner and better (
life. Will you go? ,
Do your girl’s parents dislike to
have you call? If so, what’s the ■
reason? Don’t know? Well, if. I
were you I find out. I bet that 1
that they are good reasons, and that .
you would be like them if you were
in their place.
The writer once had a sweetheart
that lie loved'very much, and after
a night’s spnie- he called and- was
told that the young Izdy could not
see. him. He felt that ii great wrong
had been done him and-tried to get
the girl to elope with him, but she
was sensible and said that she wornd
marry him if he would gain her
parents’ good will. Then he realized
that she was right and that he was
about the worst specimen of human-
by in t<<,wn, not worthy the love of
a pure little girl and the respect of
his fellowmen.’
. That lesson has ever been before
the writer, and he is still umvorthy-
the 16ve of the girl. ;

prayers to the Father to come into
this sad home and apply the com
