April 15,1897.1 A Fltzgeraldite Abroad. Editors Leader In our last let¬ ter we told you that we were intro¬ duced to Mr. John Dahn, of the Kings- raill Colony Co., whom I found to be a very affable gentleman. He took us over to tho Kingsmill tract, of about 3,000 acres of land, situated on the right bank of the James river, with about 1,000 apres of which is a high rolling piece of land, about 65 or 70 feet above high tide. This is the tract we read so much about last winter. Of this tract there are about 200 acres laid off into a townsite. There is no town there yet, April 20, although they have a brickyard. There is not a building on the townsite. The rest of the land is a sandy soil capable of raising nothing without fertilizer, of which it takes from 1 to 2 lbs to raise at from 10 to 15 bushels ol corn per acre. On the Kingsmill farm they use from 100 to 500 pounds of guano to the acre to raise a crop of corn and peanuts, which is the staple crop of that country. As to clover, I only saw one field of that grass, and that was on the Kingsmill farm. As to the country about Williamsburg, it is very sandy, like Florida, and as poor as ever a crow flew over. I was offered 10 acres of land, with a 5-room, two story house, that cost at least $750, a good barn capable of sheltering 10 or 12 head of stock, good well 40 feet deep, and out houses, for $500, $100 down, and the balance on as long time aslvvanted. This property cost about $1700, besides the land and the cost of erecting the buildings. If the coun¬ try around Fitzgerald is 20 years be¬ hind, I’ll wager a coon skill this country is 40 years behind no¬ where. The mode of farming is to crop a piece of land for all there is in it, and then tui;n it out to grow up to pines. The springs spoken of are so deep down in the ravines that they are al¬ most inaccessible. The timber is of oak, ash and other kinds of hard wood, together with a good sprinkling of pine. Williamsburg If the people of 200 years ago are at all like those of the present day, who boast of being the first families of Virginia, I don’t won- der that they sickened and died, for the majority are too indolent to make a living. Now', in my candid judgment, Gear- gia, as a whole, is as fair a country as can be found in the South. Williamsburg is one of the oldest towns in the Union, being founded over two centuries ago. There are many points of interest here, The foundation of the old colonial state house is still here, the brick of which were brought from England. Here, too, is the house that Washington had his headquarters in, and there are signs of the subteranean passage that led to the magazine which was located to defend our ancestors from the British and Indians. Here, also, are the headquarters of the immortal La- Fayette, Capt. John Smith and all of the old heroes of the revolutionary times. Here, too, is the old church of England house of worship still in good shape and occupied bp the Episcopa¬ lians, or the old church of England. Also the first college that was built in this country and named William- Mary, after the king of England and the Queen of Scotts, if I am not mis¬ taken. This college has about 150 pupils. This is the same old building in which several of our presidents were educated. Now we will leave this historical town and go up the river a few' miles and see what w r e can find ten miles above Williamsburg, on the same side of the river, where I find Old James¬ town landing. Here is where the first white man landed on American soil for a permanent settlement. It is a beautiful spot, and here is the first church edifice still standing and in good shape. We did not land here but w'ent on to Clairmont, a town of 500 or 600 inhabitants. Here we form¬ ed the acquaintance of Mr. Stowe, the mayor and boss of the town. This town is in the best portion of the James river country. The land is mostly of a clay subsoil and could be built up at a little cost. Here We found a goodly number of old vets. They have a Post here, with 25 or 30 members, who meet once a month. Here, too, like the rest of the country, the people live in a kind of don’t-care way, “ just so I have something to eat and wear, and 1 don’t want much else.” Of couse there are a few ex¬ ceptions here. The lands are very high, comparad with the advantages they have. More anon. J. W. Temple. Facts Abouts Fitzgerald. From Waycross Journal, May 28. To have an accurate conception of the success of the American Tribune Colony Company’s efforts at Fitzger¬ ald, one must make a personal visit and do tlie town and surrounding ter¬ ritory. It was my privilege a few days ago to visit Fitzgerald for tlie first time, and after inspecting the improvements in the city limits I rode out several miles in various directions, doing the five and ten acre farms, and orchards. The improvements in the city are substantial and handsome, and the suburban lands for four or five miles in every direction are being developed for agricultural and borticultural purposes, hundreds of handsome resi¬ dences having been erected. The improvements in the northern suburbs are unusallly handsome. Young orchards and truck farms surround the city. A handsome tourists hotel, containing about one hundred and fifty rooms, has been erected near the center of the city. The doors of the hotel will be opened to patronage early this winter. There are numerous brick blocks considering the infancy of the city, Kiid various enteprises, such as ice works, bottling works, canning works, gas works, etc., are among the substantail improvements. A race course is one of the attrac¬ tions near the city. The people are frugal, industrious and cheerful. Most of the population of Fitzgerald and suburbs came from the northwest. They are proud of their new homes and are usually con¬ tented with the allotments. The attractive lands, productive soil and splendid climate are highly appreciated by the settlers. The water obtained from the surface wells is good, and before long there will be an artesian system of water works in operation. Pine, Grant and Central are the principal business thoroughfares, and the most fashionable residence street is South Main. There isa spirit of pluck and energy amongst the people that is worthy emulation in every town of South Georgia. 1 believe Fitzgerald has good agricultural backing, and the railway developments that are ex¬ pected soon and the numerous industrial enterprises strengthen my confidence in the future of the town. There are fewer idlers than I expected to find, and I did not hear a word of complaint against the colony company nor the location. I rather like Fitz- gerald, and predict that within the next few years a more potent corn- mercial. agricultural and industrial center will be hard to find in South Georgia. Leighton W. Hubbard.

Chicago, June 1.—Heavy frosts oc¬ curred the past two mornings over the greater part of the northwest. Snow and freezing were reported from northern Wisconsin and Minnesota witli much damage to vegetobles and small fruits. The Wisconsin strawberry crop may be a total loss. Tobacco in southern Wisconsin is reported slightly injured and in northern Illinois is reported badly damaged. Corn in northern and north central Illinois is reported to be cut down by the frosts. Ice formed at many points in this section. Reports indicate considerable damage to corn, potatoes and fruits. In southern Michigan and northern Indiana also report much damage by frosts. A dispatch from St. Paul says re¬ ports from one hundred points in west Minnesota indicate that the night’s frosts was the most severe in many years. Ice formed in several localities. The weather was cloudy in northern Minnesota and North Dakota and the result there was disastrous Ill southwestern Minnesota all the straw¬ berry crop just coming into berry was completely ruined. The reports agree in saying that corn is also probably a complete loss. Flax ana barley are damaged, liow seriously may not be known for a week. Wheat being a much hardier plant, the frost isa good thing for it, as it has a good chance to root firmly and spread. Milwaukee, May 30.—Many points in Michigan and Wicconsin will ex¬ perience the novelty of Decoration Day snowstorms today. At Menominae, Mich., it snowed at frequent intervals all day some times quite hard. Bayfield, Wis., sufficient snow fell last night to cover the ground and the thermometer dropped to 30. At Oshkosh snow fell this morning and at noon the theromometer regist¬ ered the lowest that it has for many years at this seoson. ••They are dandies,” said Mrs.Bow- J ers, of the Crocket, Texas.
