SOME THOUGHTS.
On another page of The
sews this week we punt a
write-up, in a concise form,
of Murray county. It will do
you ., ni , good (rnof i tn to read rp . u j it, f ror or it tens tells
you the truth and, perhaps,
suggests some things you had
never thought about. Mur
ray’s resources are unlifnited
but undeveloped ; her mono
tains , contain , in . their , . e fastness .
almost all the valuable ores
known to man, but they have

quantities, A from the fact that
they need i with ■. i money,

about them , make , mining . .
to a
success.
We need farmers in our
county wltn WHO will urn be oc content content;
with a few acres of land and
who will bring these few to
such a state of cultivation as
to make . them . pt ounce , as
much as would grow on three
times the amount of land, as
it is cultivated teday. There
are not lifty land ovxntrs in
county who do not have too
much land.
We need some stock farms
also, ’ and have farms which
COllld be made ideal places
for the business. And ) et
there is not one in the county.
A few dairies could do a
profitable r business along the
railroad , from the , tact ,, that , the ,
products v could be ianded in
Knoxville _ or Atlanta within
three hours after being placed
on the train.
There are things too num¬
erous to mention that could
be made profitable. All we
need to make Murrav county
the best county ill . n Georgia . is
a few settlers who understand
how to farm on an extensive
pl«n. how to mine for golf,
silver, copper, etc., and how
make . . general .
to money in a
wav J from the natural advan
titges our county holds out to
all who will partake. 1 We
have “the land which flows
with milk and honey” if any
such place exists, and we ex
tend hearty ... all ..
a invitation to
good people to come and see
and be convinced. We will
greet you with open arms a
happy smile, and wish you
good luck in this, the land of
promise.
When two strong men come to
blows, even if they are well
matched, is not a pleasing sight,
