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. The pan-Americans did not “pan’’ at all, so far us the south was concernedt. This is very sad, but the sonth will manage to sur vive. Manager Cnrtis, however, missed an opportunity to incrozse his knowledge of geography. Had the trip been made Mr. Cur tis would have learned that Au gusta is not Georgia’s capital, As the private subseription plan for raising the amount uvecessary for the erection of a suitable monu ment to Gen. Grant has failed, it is proposed that the general gover ment donate 100,000 of the pee ple’s money for that purpose; abill has been introduced into congress to that effect, There are Imany little schemes of this king poping out in this congrss ‘A destructive wind passed about five miles south of Corbele one day last week.

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.

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 ing the town of Akron. The title is also guaranteed tv be ABsOLUTE LY PERFECT. vty .
