II 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.
