''Tired of repeated crop failures
the settlers in western Kansas are
leaving for more promising sections, ,
Every person conversant with
general newspaper topics, is we'll
aware OF the almost total failure of
crops this season in several OF the
Western States, including the Da.
kotas, Nebraska and Kansas; .and
are also we'll aware that this is not
an unusual occurrence.
The advice of that noble patriarch
who said go west, young man. was
well meant, and in those days was
worth needing, for then Illinois and
Iowa were way west But since

Rich agricultural lands are b

people Jump at them, without stop

which they are located, and the re-

Hundreds of farmers who have been
lured to these tated sections by the
flaming literature sent out. by rail
road and land companies, have lost
their all, and become objects of
charity. OF late reports of these
reverses have received such general
publication that immigration to the
States mentioned has practically
ceased, and hundreds of malcon-

empty Golfers.

have been laid fiat by the actual ex-

We recommend them to come to
Georgia. Millions of her acres are
unoccupied, and can be purchased
at a low figure, and when given the
same care and tilling that most
lands in the North receive, they
would yield profitable crops, and

prove that as many bushels of corn
or grain can be produced from an
acre, as in the Western States, for
such is not the case; but it can
