Agrlcultnre’s Special When it Visit
ed Here This Week.
The immense crowds which visited
the agricultural train when it arrived
here Tuesday morning threatened to us.
sumo the proportions of a disorganized
band of people at one time when the
eagerness to reache the cars upset the
temper of the man at the door. How
ever, the management of the train soon
had the situation under control and
over two thousand people witnessed
the demonstrations being made on the
trip.
Along with the train were Prof. J. E.
Hite, who was in charge. Prof. T. H.
Mciiatton and J. Phil Campbell, of the
United States department of agricul
ture. Messrs. Houser and Waters
were also with it, representing the
Macon Telegraph and Atlanta Journal
respectively.
interest in the train was [great here
and hundreds of farmers tried to ex
amine the displays, but limited time
made it very inconvenient.
The feature of tho visit of the train
here was the girls from the Georgia
Normal and Industrial College, over
500 of whom wero the first to get
through the train. They made the in
spection before the scheduled time of
the train to arrive and consequently
succeeded in getting just out as the
large crowd began to gather well.

The Garden Spot ot Baldwin
County While on a Trip.
The other day Mr. O. M. Cone. J. C.
Whitaker and the undersigned drove
down about the ten mile post on the
Snndersville road in an auto. The ten-
mile past and the eleven-mile post are
both very close together at tho forks of .
the road, as it is ten miles by one road
slid eleven by the other to Miliedgeville
und vou can take my Word for it that
the longest road is the shortest.
, When we got even with my place—the
858 aert farm that I am offering for
$12.50 per acre —Mr. Cone said, “Do you
know I always have said that (hi? sec
tion is the Garden Spat of Baldwin
county’.'”
Nu« lo appreciate that statement
you must bear in mind that Mr. Cone
owns no Ian i in that section, but he
hts been county surveyor for years.
There is hardly a lot of land that bo
has not besn in sight of, he has run
lines north, east, south and west, und
he knows the cxginty as perhaps no
other nan does, and ho states that the
soutii east rectum of the county fs the
Garden spot. Now who owns this land?
Mrs. Sam Walker owns about 5,000
acres, Mr. J. It. Torrence owns 95', 1
own 858, Mr. L. K. Palmer is in that
section, Mr. Hooten and Mac Tucker
and others.
Do vou OWn any of it? If not don’t
you think vou had beHt look into,
the matter? I bought my land to sell.
anO will soli, but 1 don't think you cart
get a farm from any of tho others.
1 havo not forgotten that the city
is doing splendid work in the per
manent improvements at the river and
Fishing creek. All these are useful and
necessary but when Jefferson street is
widened at Tan-va-'d-braclt to It* full
width it will not only be a useful im
provement, but one that will add im
mensely to the beauty of the city. 1 will
furnish tho Pecan trees to continue the.
Middle row out to the Georgia Railroad
if the city will go at that work as soon
as it finishes at Fishing creel:.
Mr. J. A. Horne has traded for the
Presbyterian manse, on Hancock St.
He now owns all of the front in that
block on Hancock except the 20 x 219
lot that I am offering for eleven hup.
dred dollars, Mr. Horne always im
proves any property he owns so you can
now buy that lot feeling sure that your
surroundings will be all that one could
wish. If you want to buy or sell prop
