A Beautiful Naturai Park
One of the most beautiful natural parks
in South Georgia, is the 60 odd acres
in that of the Homeland town park, It
is beautiful with its primival forest oj
pines and oaks and wild vines ano
palms,
Some of the trees are three and sow
reet in diameter, virgin pines and spre
ading oaks, making it an extemely -
pressive piece of woodland, That Home
land hes such @ beautiful park of it
own, is because ot the foresight of som2
of its citizens in its early days, Origina
lly when given to the towns its value
needed for anything perfaining to
the county that Dr. Fleming be
called, unless in cases of emergen
cy when the said Dr. A, Flemiug
couid not be located or obtained
for saidflemergency.
There being no further bnsiness
the Board adjourned until the
first Monday in December,

That this particular city or town, as i

section, the placing of welcome signe

along the line of “Lets get together an.

‘ouching on “together we stand-—divid

ample of the man who could take of
certain Jeaves with his pop from amon;
other leaves, a yellow or brown lea
from among the greenleaf, etc., ant
take a fly off from the neck of a hors
ricung along with this whip, but whe
ae came to a hornets nest he passed i
ap and when asked why stated “that h
did rot fool with Organizations.” H
also expressed himself in many ways a
long lines of development.
This is too true, it does take organiza
don and hacd work to accomplish thin
worth while and those who work to
wards that end a ways make good,
was neghible, but now it is important
and likewise ils ownership of the twc
story brick town hall, the later being
constructed for a school building anc
wlen consolidation took place, luckily
the town was in shape to finance the
buying of it,
The town that fails to consider suck
improvements when they can so easily
do it, misses an opportunity that ces
tainly does not speak well of its foun
lders and as this town grows the use ol
the park will be manifested in many
lways. Vi
[ Three Times as Much Out
South Georgia trapoers are an
ticipating a splendid season this
winter in their special business.
It is predicted by some of them
that the fur snd hide trade wil,
bring into this section around

sides to the industry. When mi.
lady buys her coat, all bedecked
with iury, she sends back to the
fur markets three or four times
the monev soc the furs than the
dealers paid for them,

It was ever thus. We supply
the raw materials to those whose
wits works, while we sell it for:
less 'nd pay more profit than the
row geods bring just for the lack
of gumplion. ‘
