“Where is Land?
That's a question often a ked of
the Hustler of Rome by people
w ho contributed to the equipment
of the North Georgia Advertising
car.
Vh'n last heard of the gay and
festive Land was South of Atlan
ta working the towns as he struck
them.
The readers of the Hustler of
Rome, are familiar with the early
history of the Advertising Car,
which in the language of J. E.
Land, the Chicago p-oprietor, was
to be fitted out with specimens ot
the rich minerals, agricultural and
timber resources of Floyd, Bartow
and Polk counties.
With this car he was to leave at
once for a 7,000 mile trip through
the North and West. Hew at first,
all be wanted was specimens of
our resources that he would foot
his own, and the car's bills, b»th
in fitting out the expedition and
in making the grand tour. How
he claimed that be would sell
hundreds of thousand of dollars
worthcf property and make his
money in those transactions.
He secured hundreds of dollars
worth of Floyds rich mineral spe
cimens, and then tried to work the
City Council and County Commis
sioners for S2O) from each body.
And then canvassed the city for
funds.
He was eager to get away on his
long trip—but thought it a good
idea to go to the Augusta Expo
sition for a few days and from
there he was to return with his
car to Rome and then go North
and Westover a route already map
ped out.
In Augusta however, he fell to
canvassing and worked the Young
Men's Business League for all he
could get and since then day after
day, week after week, up into the
months he has been working Geor
gia and Georgians instead or going
on his long cruise.
The 1 -*■ heard nf h m and that

they w -re in Grffin wh u e he took
on an immense trade edition of the
Griffin News, and there he was
pulling every leg he could Land
his hand on.

exposition on foot, a id we noticed
that ho, Clark was in Ced-irbavn
and tnnt he had drawn a heavy
mark through J E. Land's name
on the letter head .
Gentlemen, who subscrib'd to
the Advert ismg Car, in this city
are anxious to know when the
money they invested in the Ad
vertiaing schemes is to begin i's
course Northward ai d Werward.
At the request of every maw of
them, and thay are Romo's best
citizens too, their names are with
heid but —unless Land gets a
move on him in the right direction
he can look for trouble.
"Lord" Beresfords ‘‘BlickuMs"
brought him to grief in this city,
and while Land is not even a Land
—“lord" and has not forged any
names it will be remembered that
Beresford was brought back to
Rome for’"cheating and swi d
ling," only.
Let Land carry out his contract
to North Georgians or return then

ATKINSON MAKES FRIEND S
His Speech In Jefi erso ; Was a “ Ten
Strike . “
Jefferson, Feb. 19.—(Special. )
Hod. \\. Y. Atkinson spoke here for
two hours yesterday at the noon re
cess of court, the house being filled
with interested libteners. While the
crowd was quiet and undemonstrative
at first, they became heartily enthus
ed under the eloquence of the speak
er and at times applauded warmly.
Mr. Atkinson discussed campaign
matters most ably, His record in the
legislature, his record on educational
questions, the work he did in con
nection with the effort of the state
road to get betterments allowed, the
efforts he put forth for the assistance
of Confederate survivors, were all re
ceived with good effect. So far as his
consistent loyalty to the old soldiers
was concerned that was thoroughly
established. Nothing in his enti e
speech w»» said reflecting upon A
- but his claim that Atlanta b d
h Id most of the imp rtaut offices in
recent years, and that it was time
that other parts ©f the state should
be recognized, was irrefutably made
and forcibly presented.
Mr. Atkinson’s references to his
competitor were most corteoue and
kindly. A number of third party
people were presen 1 , and to them the
distinguished sperk r ade ast mg
appeal for unity among our people"
By some who heard him the speech
was pronounced a “ten strike." Un
doubtedly it added many frien Is to
his already large following in Jack
son county.

«d by Rev. Henry Gilbert, —the
church was called into conference for
the purpose of electing a Suprenten 1

Their offices were filled by young
men instead of the older men.

This is quite a change from mos
of the other Sunday schools, but the
church thinks this is due to th<
young men who was elected.
The selection by the Second
Baptist Sunday school is a most
happy one, Beu Wright, Merritt
Alien and Alexis Kendrick, thiee
more polite, congenial, sturdy,
bright faced, pleasant mannered
young men could not be grouped
together for any work.
The Second Baptist Sunday
School has done its self proud m

with such officers, and the school
and its officers will move forward
with renewed energy and to a
grander success.

HOW CADET OATS "CHANGED” HIS
B 'ARDING HOUSE.
Cadet Oats on entering his room
Saturday night discovered that his
.trunk was missing. Several hours
I were spent in search of it, but r.o

lavery restless night, cn account
;of it containing all his clothing
i and other valuable things.
; His lover’s $lB gold ring was
gone, and this alone was enough
to break the ycung man’s heart.
Next morning at the rising of the
I sun, the young man arose <nd
i looked across the street and his
eyes fall upon the missing "ward
robe,” in front of the door of acer
: tain house in town.
As soon as he could dress he
I went over and found a 4xß tag at
tached to it, all nicely and plainly
addressed and had reached its des

and other contents unmolested. I:
