WHAT COJI. HENDEKSON SAYS.
Extract From His Report to the Grand
Jury.
During the last twelve months
our county has undergone many
changes. The Tifton & North¬
eastern railroad has been built
centrally through our county,
connecting with the Fitzgerald
division of the G. & A- railroad
at the city of Fitzgerald. This
is quite an acquisition, and will
be of great benefit to our county,
and especially that section thro’
which it is located.
With the coming of the soldier
colony, our white population,
which was but a short time, al¬
most one continuous link of rel-
lationship, is now intermixed
with a large number of new in¬
habitants, among whom are many
of the best people from all sec¬
tions of the Union, and of every
avocation in life from the banker
to the tinker. These people have
in the short space of one year,
founded and built the flourishing
city of Fitzgerald, in which are
to be found well filled churches,
schools, hotels, ample banking
facilities, business houses of al¬
most every line of trade, with a
population of 4,000 or 5,000 in¬
habitants, and still they come.
And what is so remarkable is the
peace and quietude that has pre¬
vailed among this mass of people,
who, up to this time, have had no
power (to enforce order, except
the common laws of our country.
This fully demonstrates the
FACT THAT OUR NEW NEIGHBORS
ARE THE CLASS OF EMIGRANTS
THAT WE WANT, AND BY THEIR
CONDUCT THEY HAVE WON THE
RESPECT AND CONFIDENCE OF
our native people. Many of
these people are ex-Union sol¬
diers# hence numbers of them are
pensioners and bring iu our
midst Vast amounts of money that
hitherto never found its way
South. These people, as a mass,
are intelligent, progressive, up¬
right and Lightened citizens—are
firm believers in the enforcement
of law and order—full of pluck
and energy, and have ever evinced
a perfect willingness to join our
natives’ hand, heart and purse, in
every movement that tends to the
upbuilding of the county of their
new homes in our sunny South.
M. Henderson,
County Commissioner.
