SOME PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS FOR
OUR PEOPLE.
Time flies, and sometimes we do not
perceive how quickly, and hence let
golden opportunities slip by us. The
people of South Georgia, or at least a
great many of them, have slept over
some of these good opportunities and
are still slumbering and letting them
pass. Ten, fifteen and twenty years
ago you could buy almost any wild or
unimproved land in this section at
from ten cents to cne dollar per acre
with the timber on it. How is it to
day? With the timber off, you cannot
get the same land at this price, and in
a few years more land now selling at
fifty cents, a dollar and a dollar and
fifty cents per acre cannot be obtained
for three times this amount. This is
going to be as true as you now live.
Well, you sav, what of it ? I hope yon
are correct. But don't quit jthere
Stop and think about it and see what
you should do to help yourself and
your section. In the first place, if you
do not already own enough of it, buy
some of it now and own it and go to
developing it, and in this way help
your section expand in agriculture, as
it should. If you do not aim to de-
velop it, of course your buying it
would not make the pub!ic any better
off, unless the fact that you owned
some of the soil might stimulate you
to feel a deeper interest in the com-
inunity. We believe, however, that
every citizen should take a certain
amount of interest in agriculture, fo>*
it is the basis upon which all else
mtfst rest. If you are a merchant,
doctor, editor, railroad man, or what*
ever you are, you should own some of
this land and cultivate it, or have it
done. There is nothing in the world
so ennobling 'as tilling the soil, and
the sooner our people realize this the
better it will be for this section. Edu
cate the younger generation on this
subject and let them understand that
the educated gentleman can till the
soil with as much credit and profit to
himself as he could by following any
of the professions. We have too many
already in the professions, and some
who are now in them would have ac-
complished more for themselves and
the country had they gone to the soil
for a livelihood. We do not mean to
discourage anyone. We simply men.
‘tloned this for the benefit of those
coming on and did not intend divetg-
ing. We notice a good deal of the
lands in this section are being pur*
chased in large quantities by non
residents, and this may or may not be
to our interest. If these parties are
going to develop it, it will bo to our
interest; bat if they do not do so, and
aim to hold it as an investment, it will
.hurt instead ot help us. We are told
some will start up big stock farms.
We do not know if they will do so or
nob Should they do this,'it would
pay them handsomely anil be a great
blessing to our country bisider. There
is no reason why large stock farms
could not be made as great a success
here as in the west, for this section is
so well adapted to cassava, velvet
the hands of syndicates, to be held for
speculative purposes and out of our
r tach. 1 want our own people to 1 •
on the alert. Wake up! Develop
your own seutiou and reap the bene*
fit therefrom. Don’t wait, and then
look back and think what you could
have dope had you thought about it
Think about it now! This is the time.
Don’t let'-it bliss by you.

Mahanoy City, Pa., Oct. 22.—The
impromptu celebratione begun ycitor*
day with the reception of the now-, do
daring that t.he strike was off ter
minated in a monster demonstration
this morning. Fully ten thousand
danced through the streets to the tune
of lively airs furnished by several
bands of music. In the line of parade
were scores of breaker boys in the.r
working attire, topped with mining
lamps, carrying significant transparen
cies. Decorated floats formed another
feature of the immense jubilee cele
bration.

efficient chorus. A grand street parade
will be given at noon on the day of the
opening performance, and a bsnd con
cert at 7*30 p, m in front of the theater.
Resumption of Work.
, Wilkchbarre, Pa., Oct. 22.—Prepara
tions for a general resumption of
beans and other nutritious foods that j work at all the collieries of the valley
could be produced until it can, in our
judgment* be made more profitable
here than in the west. L;t us hope
that large stock farms will be the re
sult. In the meantime let us all try
to own aome of this soil and Jcvelop it
onraelvea. Let na think about the
matter and get aome of It now, while
It can be had, end before it passes Into
are being made. Great drov»-s
mules are teen pasaing through the
city today ou the way to the .variou
collieries, and other evidencea of i
general resumption are ob*erv*bl«
everywhere. There Is u general feel
ing of happiness among the mineta
and a noticeable npwar« tendon'/ in
business circles
the East Coast railway company to
a trust company of New York, provid
ing for the issue of bonds to the
amount of 38,741,000 to run thirty
years at 5 per cent interest, and tc be
dated January 1, 1003. Copies of this
deed were also filed in ail the counties
in which atiy of the property of the
system is located. A memorandum
wTis placed on each deed requiring the
clerk of the court to allow np one to
the paper. The deed says the
money is to be used for purposes of
’extrusion, buildiug brauch lines, con
solidating with, murgiug or purchas
ing other railroads or other railroad
properties.” This, on account of the
situation, has been deemed rather
signihcqnt, as showing that a purchase
by the Southern may be expected.”
