Beiolntlom Indorsing the Colony Movement and Giving a Worm Welcome to All Comers to Georgia and Especi ally to South Georgia. 'Abbeville, Dee. 2. —(Special.)— This quiet little town was thrown into a lever heat on Saturday, when the American Tribune of Indianapolis, the organ of the G. A. R.'s, was received. It contained an article from the pen of Mr. Fitzgerald, quite lengthy, and very strongly criticising the people of ’Abbeville in trying to give the colony a black eye, and warned people that they must stop it or retaliatory meas ures would be adopted. A massmeeting was called at 3 o’clock Saturday after noon and’ the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "Whereas, the citizens of Abbeville read with regret the editorial in the American Tribune attributing to her people the desire of Injuring the col ony now locating in this and Irwin counties, and believing Mr. Fitzgerald to bo laboring under misrepresenta tions, we, in public meeting assembled, do and hereby "Resolve, That wo are In full sym pathy with the colony movement and appreciate their pluck and determina tion In making this settlement. "Resolved, That we now, as we have done In the past, and expect to do In the future, open our homes and hearts to all bona fide settlers, and trust that they will not only become Georgians, but South Georgians as well "Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be forwarded to Mr. Fitzger ald. with the request for publication, and that they be also published In the Abbeville Exponent." There were quite a number of colon ists present, and they unanimously adopted and signed the following en dorsement of the above: "Wo, the undersigned colonists now In Abbeville, and also those located on colony lands, endorse the above and hereby attest our entire satisfaction as to our treatment and location, and hereby exonorate the citizens of Abbe ville from any intent to Injure the col ony movement. (Signed.) "J. D. Whittier, Indianapolis. Ind., "W. H. Clay, Ashland. WIs., "N. Terrnllllger, Ashland, WIs., "O. E. McNair, Ottuma, la.. "J. R. Bullls, Henessy. Okla., "M. S. Migot. Summer, la.” A committee was appointed consist ing of J. R. Monroe, J. E. Bowen and Capt. Allen to wait on Mr. Fitzgerald and request him to modify Ills article and rectify the mistake made toward the Abbeville people. The resolutions are so broad, so - manly and so generous that the whole thing should result In much good to Abbeville. LARGE LAND SALE. Ninety-One Thousand Acres of Timber Land Sold for {140,000. IVaycross. Dec. 2.—(Special.)—"The Georgia and Florida Round Timber Company," said Mr. D. T.
