field for naval stores, and to day the firm
carries on the largest of the kind
In Georgia. William Pritchett recently
moved near Tweed. and with the
assistance of his brother Henry, conducts
turpentine distillery of large proportions.
Thomas Pritchett has charge and Is
sole owner of large bodies OF lands at Los
THAR and a merchandise business which
sells, during the year, some $25, 900 worth

The place is just entering upon an era Of
the greatest industrial and town building
activity that any part of Georgia has seen.
The success OF the town, which grew up
under the tutelage of William and Thomas
Pritchett, have opened the eyes of the pub
