SOME thirty years 4 go, when attention was
being directed to the new Eldorado-Iexas-
a number o. wealthy gentlemen OF Iroup coun-
ty believing that that State would be the home
of large, thrifty and active population, put
their heads together and organized what was
known as the LaGrange Georgia Land Com
oauy, established common treasury, ana
made mp considerable purse tor the purpose
of buying lands in that State. Two agents
were sent out and at that time both were De-
,eved to have used the funds dishonesty. IT
now transpires that forty-eight thousand acres,
of the richest land in Texas were purchased IN
the name of the company. We doubt II there
are any of the original stockholders living, out
their descendants will be made rich by this
streak of good fortune, and amongst this num-
her is included Samuel A. Cook, the present
Mayor of GAINESVILLE. Rev. w. +. Cook, Mrs.
McEyoy, Mrs. DIR. j. I. Jelks, of Marietta,
whose father was one of the company. Inc
land is worth very large amount OF money,
,ud it is thought the claimants will have but
,;,t,s trouble in getting it, as there are only
two "souatters' on the entire tract. A meeting
of those interested was held in Latirange on last
week for the purpose of dsvising means to tasse
charge of this large estate, and an agent VIII De
sent out at once for that purpose.
Give Bonham a rousing house
tonight, he deserves it.
