I OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CITY OF WAYCROSS AND OF WARE AND CHARLTON COUNTIES. VOLUME XXIII WAYCROSS, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1902. NUMBER 21 * Read and Reflect. 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. Will u. think. Lawmakers Organize.

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.” consuoi .
