PORTRAYED,” by Information Commit

Georgia, the Empire State of tie South.
Her gain in population from 1870 to
1880 over 30 per cent. Gain in wealth in
same time, eighty-one million dollars. In
the past twelve years the staple crops have
increased as follows: Corn over 200 per
cent., wheat 600 per cent., rye 75 per cent.,
Irish potatoes 100 per cent, sweet potatoes
400 percent., sugarcane and sorghum 800
per cent., and other products in about the
same ratio. The cotton crop of Georgia in
1870 was 473,934 bales, and in 1880 it was
814,441 bales. Her farm products in 1870
amounted to $80,390,228, which, in 1880,
increased to the enormous amount of $125,-
000,000. In 1870 Georgia had 69,956 farms,
and in 1880 she had 138,622, an increase of
over 100 per cent. The lumber products of
Georgia this year will exceed $70,000,000.
Georgia leads the South in every staple
manufacture. We have the largest peach
orchards in the world, while grapes and
many other fruits are very profitably, but
not extensively grown in every portion of
the State, and shipped to Northern markets.
As for Georgia melons, while the supply is
enormous, the demand is much greater.
We say to you, now is the time to come
South, while you can make cheap and prof
itable investments, in the most inviting sec
tion of the United States, where soil, cli
mate, water, seasons, and low prices of
property, are all that could be desired by
the manufacturer, the large planter, the
stock raiser, and the dairy, fruit, vegetable
and poultry farmer. We will, on applica
tion, mail copy of the “Commonwealth
of Georgia,’’etc., the official and reliable re
port of Col. J. T. Henderson, the efficient
Commissioner of Agriculture for the State
of Georgia. We add brief descriptions and
prices of a few of the many farms we have
for sale at prices that should tempt you ;
farms at $lO to S2O per acre, that in North
ern States would readily command (as they
will here in a few years) SSO to SIOO per
acre.
Large Tracts- for Colonies.
Colonies of any size, or any number of
families, who wish to come South and settle
all together, can, by writing to us, be suited
in land, location, prices, etc. We will give
reliable information and valuable aid.

ties having money to invest will do well to
consult us, as we can invest with perfect
safety and great profit to them.
Loans at Eight Per Cent. Net.
