The average Georgia legislator has neither
sentiment to utter nor money to give to-
wards material tribute to the founder
of a colony so generously conceived,
himself the prince Of col0nists. Georgia
neither erects monuments nor contributes
memorials. for her legislators neither
value their memories, nor appreciate
their instructions.
All honor, then, to her illustrious son,
who. with filial attachment, and at his own
pecuniary risk, has, in this history, rals-
ed a monument to Georglas FOUNDER, anu !
to Georgia's colonial life-cast in thought
and moulded i'm rhetOric-aBd hence more
enduring than marble and more lmpef-

then, his former townsmen and ms ola
friends, show their appreciation OF Col:
Jones' great work, and their substantial
help in its expense by giving this History
of Georgia generous and welcome greet

so much space is devoted to Sunday read

its articles, its profusion of illustrations
its regular prospectus for the coming
year-in short, it makes Sunday reading
for the young as attractive as the popular
magazines Of the day. d. Lathrop IL Co.
