Mr. Joseph Grouvei, of the Detroit

IS A PERFECT EMPIRE WITIIIX HERSELF
The climate is simply (erfect. The
soil is exceedingly rich, au l the yel ls
it has given, where it was properly
attended, are surprising. Any careful
farmer, I am convinced, can become
rich by working a few years in Geor
gia. As to the manufactures, I found
cotton factories in Augusta that in
profit and su cess surpass the best of
New England factmies. I hid no
idea that I should find it so brilliant
ly demonstrated tha: ih south is the
proper field for the manufacture ol
cot on, and indeed for most classes of
goods hat are used in the south. The
mineral wealth of the state cannot of

they do, they will put Georgia in die

not believed the same am >unt and
viriety of inineml wealth ever was
fount before in the same area of
ground.
As to the social advantages they
are unsurpassed. Tho school system
is a liberal and enlightened one. I
never saw better schools than those
you have right here in Atlanta. The
p ople are hospitable, trank and gen
erous. They seem liberally to vie with
each other in their attentions to a
