Many thousands of peo [le and many Georgians at that, are quite unaware and Ignorant of the beautiful spots and the live progres sive circles we hay In Georgia. As en example, let ua . quote the words of Mr. J. S. Cohen of the Atlanta Jour hdl, who Is now engaged In the scout trip. He stated In Waycross the oth er lay, when alluding to the pictur esque spots at kings Ferry and Coleraine, “I had no Idea we had aucb beautiful spots In all Georgia.''

IN REGARD TO NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING The following Is sn extraot from a letter received this date from Hon. Wm. G. Brantley. It explalne Itself. We all regret that the poetofllce could not- he built of Georgia marble, but wo understand that the Vermont mar ble Is vfery fine. This Is the estract: Washington, D. ft, March 28, 1011. Judge A. P. Perham, Waycross,- Gs. Dcar-Judgo Perham:—1 recalved to day your telegram, asking me to jvlre sou particulars about tho post office contract. I Immediately called at the ofllce of the Supervising Architect, and learned that the contract for the bLildlng had been awarded to Am bi-oie B. Stannard, St. James Build- Ins. New York City, and requires the 1 sliding to he completed by April 1st, 1012. I understood every thing bad been completed In the matter of awar ding tbo contract, save tbo approving ol the Contractor’s bond, which has not yet come in. The change made In the plans, resulting In a readver- tlsoment waa the substitution of mar ble ha the building material. As 1 understand It, the building will be of marble up to the cornices. I regret to, say In this connection thst tbo marble will be Vermont marble. It seems to me that Georgia marble should be used, but the Supervising Architect Instated on tho bids sub mitted, tbe Vermont marble was tbo cheaper, and for that reason will bo usod. I looked over tho general plans it tbe building, and It seems to me that It will bo quite a handsome, com u,odious and convenient building, when completed.
