feeble for some time past We earn
estly hope as spring advances she
may be restored to her usual health.

been unable to get up friendly
personal acquaintance with swarm
Of bees.
We candiily believe, and our be-
lief is founded upon five years actual
residence in the place, that Chicla-
sawhatchee village is as healthy q
locality as there is to be found in
South West Ga.
Parties coming into Terrell county
for the purpose of buying land,

do love to see you work.
There is a great deal of very fine
pine timber iii this part Of the coun-
y, worth thousands of dollars to the
people if they could only get it to

be wasted, and burned up in plan
tatlons unless we can have the ad-
vantage OF a rail road or some other
arrangement by which we can ship
the lumber TO market.
