She said she did, but that she loved Judge Godbee and would be cared for and protected. We all loved him, and he was so careful to assure me time and again that Florence would be well provided for. I did not want her to come so far away, but when I thought over It I decided not to Interpose where her bappineos was ooneerned. **N >w It’s all over. My grief is more than I can bear and my daugh ter’s place in my heart will never be filled. Wants Justice Done. •As to the divorced wife, T hope justice will he done. My daughter had never done her Any harm, and how she will ever have any peace again I can not f .e. ~My daughter had never been South before, but she often wrote me of things down here and said It was a great place and the people were no good ajid kind. Shi said she would always want to live In the South And now that she Is dead, I want har to sleep forever among the people she had learned to love so well and among whom she was contented and happy.” Judge Oodbee's safe ha* been opened and hls effects have been gone over.

In the last few years several suits had been started to force him to re veal the legal status of his property, but he either settled or defended them successfully. The deeds were placed on record and the will probated In common form before Judge F. G. Rabb, Or dinary of Jenkins County. WEATHER HALTS AIR RACE. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. YARMOUTH.

If you prefer village life, the smaller towns in Georgia offer every inducement. If you prefer country or farm life, Georgia offers greater inducements than any State in the Union. Georgia lands work the year round, from two to five crops being gath ered off of the same land each year—crops that are profitable. Climate and Soil , ». — The climate is such that far mers do not have to house stock duringthe winter, there being good grazingtheentire year. F or raising cattle and stock Georgia offers greater inducements than can be found elsewhere. The soil is suited for almost anything that grows and can be utilized the entire year. The prices at which good farm land can be purchased at present in Georgia are so low that it is a matter of comment—some thinking that the land is not so good as stated. The land is good, but there are thousands of acres that are now lying idle and the good people of Georgia are anxious for good farmers tocome among them. Consequently the land is cheaper here than elsewhere.
