Dec. 23.—From the number of Inquiries made at the state house every day as to the resources of Georgia and what inducements are offered to home-seekers and investors to come to Georgia and make this state their home, there is ample evi dence of the fact that Georgia stands in need of a good information bu reau or a commission of some kind located at the capital to give people from a distance such information as is needed by them. Early in the lnst session of the leg islature a bill was introduced in the house having for Its purpose the cre ation of a board of immigration com missioners. to be composed of one member from each congressional dis trict, this board to elect a secretary, who was to be located at the state house, and required to advertise the resources of Georgia nnd put out In formation calculated to attract people to this state. The house passed the bill but made no provision for main taining the new department created by the measure. When it fame to the senate that body substituted for It a commission of immigration. But this wan defeated and the movement fell through. While the MU was under fire in the senate a rumor was circulated that if the new department was created and a commission of Immlgrntlon provided for. the place would be given to i prominent south Georgian. This ru mor seemed to some extent to wither the prospects of the department sought to be created, and toAiome ex tent may have contributed to the de feat of the measure. VALDOSTA.

The flr6 department was called out and fifty or more people fought the flames back until they were subdued. The fire spread over more than one hundred acres and the wind swept It along like a inarching army, the line of fire being about a half a mile long.
