COMING SOUTH
IN SEARCH OF HOMES,
An Indiana Man Who Repre
scuts Several Families Stops
In Conyers On a Prospecting
Tour—He Is Well Pleased
With Our County,
-
Mr. N. II. Crum, from Cruro
town, Ind., was in town this
week prospecting,with a view of
settling. He is the representa¬
tive of several gentlemen who
to settle with their fami
lies in Georgia. On Thursday
Col. O’Kelley took Mr. Crum
and showed him the lands in the
vicinity of Conyers. He express¬
ed himself well pleased. We
hope he may decide to bring his
colony to Georgia and settle in
Rockdale. In this county tho
soil is fertile, and the lands lie
well for cultivation. Churches
of different denominations and
fine schools arc located in intel¬
ligent communities.
The farmers of the west and
north-west seem to be in earnest
in seeking homes in the south,
and rightly so, we think. The
climate, the soil and tho short
winters all are more favorable
to successful farming and fruit
raising than in thc latitude
where the summers are too short
for diversified agriculture ; and
here, in middle Georgia, every
variety of crops, fruits and veg¬
etables can be raised for profit.
Even this small space
used judiciously
would yield a hand¬
some per cent, to the
investor. A word to
the wise.
BEAD EM

ante, moths, mosquitos and
beet'es ; in fact, every con¬
ceivable kind of vermin

tion, if not tbe money is re¬
funded. Try it!
