LEESBURG THE HUBOF LEE
; COUNTY.
If you are thinking of making a change
in your residence—that is, if youare con
templating moving from other sections
of the union and desire to locate in a
state that has more good people—more i
grand opportunities—that presents a |
spectacle sublime in the way of diversi- |
ties from gold mtines in the mnorth to
innnmerable pike fish in the south—from
cotton factories in the west to shrimps in |
the east—come to the Empire state of the I
South—Georgia,
If you after coming to Georgia, want to
settle where lands are cheap—where they
are fertle—where they are high and dry
—where they produce as easily and gen
erously as any other soil under the sun—
where the people are cordial, hospitable,
then come to LLEE County.
If you want to locate in a good town—
where there is a good town where there
is a most excellent school, one of the
best in the state—where there is a kind,
industrious, cultured and genial people
—then wend your way to LEESBURG,
the ““HUB” of Lee County, where peace
and plenty reigns; supreme, where the
farmers are among the best in the south,
and where want is not known. -
TR e e SAP O ety
Leesburg is the town for the farmer to
sell his cotton, syrup, meat, and in fact
anything he has to sell. Our merchants
pay the highest prices and sell goods at
the lowest possible price.

port of my feliow-citizens.
