At Fort Grainesa day or two
ago a Creole named Wooding was
engaged in laying pipe on Carroll
street, in a ditch about cloven feet
deep, when the wall suddently
caved, covering him, while in a
standing position, about fwo feet
above his head. Prompt work alone
saved him from death.

Telk Up For Your Town. i
You often hear people use this)
expression, and thero .is cer
tainly a great deal of meaning ia 1
it: “How are successful towns!
built?”’ § |
First, The people who never|
kick at nothing that tends to the
apbmlding of their town.
Second, They never go zn'mmd‘
and talk about their neighbors
and the town officials. I
Third, They are not afraid ‘to‘
give a dollar to advertise their
sown. l
Fourth, It takes good people
who love to build good churchl
houses; go to churel and pay the
preacher. : ‘
Fifth, And it takes money, in-!
dustry. economy and co-operation. I
These things are strictly essen-|
tial to the building up of a pros-é
perous town. !
There is nota more f:u’orablc!
place in Georgia for o prosperonsl
¢ity than Buchanan. Situated as|
she is, a most delighiful climate,l
and with all the natural advanta-|
ges that any town could possibly
have. She should by all means
be one of the most prosperous cit
jes in North Georgia. All that
is reeded, is.-to simply apply the
rules that we have set forth.
There never was, and there nev
er will be a town built up where
there is no co-operation. Where
envy strife and disunion exists
in a town or community, you will
gee a people who are far behind
the world in every respect. So
let us come close together and get
better acquainted with each other;
and above all things, let us work
togetlics for the np building of
Buchanan and Haralson county.
The Side Walks,
Bvery town should have good
side walks. This is certainly the
i(fl;\.se with Buchanan. Theye is
lot a town in our knowledgs that
has as poor sidewalks as Buchan
i:m. It is a shame to the town.
'This is rather strong languaage,
lhu'.’f, nevertheless, it is the
!trut‘n, When strangers come to
|see us, they are disgusted at our
streets and sidewalks. They say
a town that does not have. pride
enough abont it to keep its streets
aud sidewalks in good condition
Iwill never be much of a town.
We think the best way to get our
l:sidewnlksin a good cendition, is
for the town dpthorities to say
lthat every man who owns proper
'ty in Buchanan, shall put a good
l:»;i«"u)\x’&lk in front of his propertfy,
[a’md all who does not own property
pay so mucl to keep ub sidewalks.
lWe think this is about the best
‘\my to get the streets and side
walks in a good condition. We
don’t aeccuse our town authorties
|of not wanting to discharge their
| duties in this respect, but they
have not seen the matter probably
in the light that we look at it.
| Our ideuw is to have good side
' walks and good streets, and when
‘\\'e ge'r. those thipgs wo will be on
!the road to prosperity.

In The Great West—A Remarkable Of
fer—Read Tlt. :
Akron Colorado has probably |
within the past three years expe-i
rienced the most rapid as well 88|
the most healthy growth of any ci
ty in the west. It is surronnded |
by & country unsurpassed by any |
on earth for the richness and fer-{
tility of its soil, and the beauties
of its climate. Any, and every
thing that caun be raized in Towa,
linois, Indiana or Ohio ean here
be grown in the greatest profu
sion. - Wheat grown in the near
vacinity of Akron took a diploma
for beiug the best grain of the]
kind exhibited at the Nebraska
State fair, Reld at Lincoln, in
September, 1889, And all crops
grown in this latitnde can be rais
ed here as suceessfully as any
where on earth.
GOVERNMENT LANDS.
There are yet thousands of acres
of government land, vacant, which
can now be taken under the home
stead, pre-emption and timber
culture acts, which a person can
have for the taking. A bounti
fui government will make you in
dependent in a few years if you
willbut act npw. The surface of
the country is nearly a perfect
level, but still sleping enough to
afford good drainage. No breaks
or draws such as ruin and deface
so many western farms, “No pro
tracted struggle with rocks. Your
first glance at the country would
remind you of one vast meadow,
only waiting the plow of the hus
bandman to transform it into an
Bden of beauty and prod uctive-lf
ness. 3
The citizens advertising com
mittee of Akron have placed in
the hands of the Seuth Akron
Land and Improvement Company,
ioue thousand eity lots that are to
be given away i'or'advsrtisifig
kpuz-pnses, and any person who
l will aid them in advertising their
advantages can have one of these
lots FRE® OF cHARGE by directing a
commanication to W.rß. COLVIN,
Sectary, at Akron, Colorado, and
and sending him the names of ten
people who are interested in the
west, and liable to be looking for
a western location. These lots are
now worth from 850 to $125, and
| will in the course of a year, if the
predictions of knowin ones prove
true, be worth feur times what is
now asked for them.
It is an opnortunity never be
fore offered to procure an ABSOLUTE
TITLE to a piece of property in an
[enterp}'ising and growing western
city.
I The Jots referred to are each
125x125 feet in size aud all the
| streets upon which they abut are
60 and 80 feet wide. They arein
what is known as “South Akron;’’
an Akron Colorado suburb, aud
‘the eitizens’ committee through
Mr. Colyin, its secretary, gnaran
ttee them to be smooth, level, and
upon a sight elevation overlook

is also guaranteed tv be ABsOLUTE

. Threo years ago, Akron precinet
contained 800 square miles of ter

votes cast in this‘_i;etritory was 17,
The last fall’s eleetion, (1850,)
with this territd‘x"’};f?fiutgdown to

she polled 587 votes, This will
give you some ;dea as. to her

| Akron contains wset of busi-
osts, and this year 860,000 is be
ing expended by them to intro
duce people looking for o western |
location to settle amongst them.i
They want, and are determined |
to have 50,000 people in their city l
by 1895. i
They want labors in their coal
mines; they want capitalists to\
develop their silver and gold
mines. i
Akron isto day the largest and |
most prosperouns city in the state
ecast of Denver. It is a division!
station of the B. & M, R'y, and i.s%
southern terminons of the Akron’
& Holyoke R'y, which will, in all
I,)r()l)ubilit.§y, be built to (‘ulm-adoi
Hprings in the nearj{uture. Alron
is directly in the line of the North
western R. R. building into Den- |
ver, aud it is sure to catch it, and |
the Beaver Valley branch of the f
B. & M. will also be built to Ak-|
ron. The B &M. shops are ]ocn-!
ted there and material is now on}
the ground to greatly en]a,rgei
them. The railroad employs 250 |
men at that point now. The cityi
ig. and will be, the great railroad |
center of that portion of the state. |
Its population is now nearly 2,000
and by January first, next, they|
belieye it will be 5,000. A United |
States land oflice was recently lo- |
cated at that point which meansg
much to the city. It will bring |
every settler upon the public do-!
main in the gection to that ¢ity tui
file upon his land. It will be, |
and is, the headquarters for land
seckers for the entire portion of
the state. It is the supply point
for a score of prosperous towns in 1
the interior. It has one of the |
finest school buildings in the state!
and churches of every denomina
tion. Electric lights and waterz
works are assured facts, and will
be in operation by July first. lu%
fact, it is a live, prosperous city, .
