WITH MONEY AT McRAE
PROMISE IS FULFILLED,
McRAE, GA., July 28.—“ This is to certify that
I hold in trust, security to the amount of $10,000.00,
deposited by the citizens of Alamo and vicinity for
the purpose of building a court house at Alamo for
Wheeler county, Ga., and I hereby guarantee the
payment of same sixty days after said court house is
in actual course of construction at said place.
“ E. F. Mcßae. ”
On Tuesday of thia week at Mcßae,
the above certificate was signed by
E. F. Mcßae, presidet of the Mer
chants Bank of Mcßae; fulfilling Ala
mo’s promise to the people of Wheeler
county, and we hope, forever settling
the contention that ‘‘Alamo should do
what she promised’’. Together with
the ten thousand dollars. Hon. J. W.
Clements has given to the county of
Wheeler a suitable site for the court
house, whish is easily worth an addit
ional five thousand dollars, making in
round figures fifteen thousand dollars
that Alamo lays in the lap of Wheeler
county and says that she donates this
much, not that she Is legally bound to
do so, but that she feels morally obli
gated to contribute this; inasmuch as
there seems to be a sentiment among
some of our citizens that we should put
up this donation, because It was prom
ised the county in the beginning, and
too, it will be worth that much to the
town to have the court house built here.
This certificate was the boneof conten?
tion and as the money-has been placed
in another county, we believe that the
people will now rest and all unite,make
friends and pull for Wheeler county,
yes, greater Wheeler county. The
people of Alamo are now ready to for
get the past, and to those who have
felt that they were being mistreated
by anyone on this side can come oyer
■and the fatted calf will be killed and a
glorious welcome extended to them.
We understand that this certificate,
properly signed up, has been the only
obstacle between a settlement, and if
so thia has been complied with and
nothing more is to be asked of our peo
ple than to proceed with the county
buildings.
Mr. J. T. Carter and brother
of Davisboro, were in the city
this week. Mr. Carter is one of
the largest farmers in Washing
ton county, and came over to see
what we have. He is interested
in a sales stable for Alamo, and
looked the field over pretty
thoroughly with a view of locat
ing here this fall with such a
business. He also has an idea
of taking considerable stock in a
guano factory, if he can arouse
eneugh interest to get the enter
prise going.

ALAMO, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1913
STILL ANOTHER
BOOST FOR ALAMO.
The following letter received by the
Eagle from M. M. Sapp, of Fitzgerald,
who recently made a canvass of the
county, with Alamo as his headquarters.
He is in the real eState and insurance
business at Fitzgerald and was so much
impressed with Wheeler county that he
has been contemplating locating here
and going into the real estate business.
He has traveled over several counties
and finds none with the possibilities of
Wheeler county. His letter in part fol
lows;
“I have now returned home to Fitz
gerald, and after looking around just a
little I have already made arrangements
with the following men to go to Alamo
and look around with a view to starting
up business: P. B. Owens & Son, Bar
ber Shop, Dr. Jim Maloy, Physician and
Surgeon, Mr. Carter, Contractor and
Builder, Dr. Lynn, Veterinary Surgeon,
Mr. Williams, Shoe and Harness Shop,
George Mathis, Tailor Shop and Pres
sing Club and W. F. Jones a Sandstone
Plant if others there will go in with him.
My partner, Mr. McLendon, is de
lighted with my report of Alamo, and
says he is about ready to come down and
take a look. New Mr. Gross if you can
arrange to get a few honses for these
men, let me hear from you at once, as
these men are going to locate some
where soon and I want them to stop at
Alamo. I can move forty or fifty peo
ple to Alamo inside of twelve months
that will make it their homes and will
spend money there, and it will give
the town about 35 more voters in the
next election, and you know thaUevery
little bit helps.
Please talk to the business people of
the town and county and see how they
feel, Have thwn to write me, and
let,s see if we can’t get the good peo
ple of Alamo and the county to all join
hands for the beat merest of the
best town in south Georgia, and I can
safely say that I can easily get the
people and enterprises to move there
in a very short time. Alamo will be
on a real and substantial boom.
“Yours very truly,
M. M. SAPP.”
P. S. Send me a few sample cop
ies of yonr paper to use in boosting
Alamo.
