FALLEN FROM GRACE.
r,, IT'S WHAT SAM JONES SAYS OF
COLQUITT.

THE NORTHWEST, MdICll u
As we speed through this great coun-
INV on the limited train we wonder at the
ovnanse and the resources of the United
States, The fertile soil and the prosper
Gus cities along the line of our railr DAD
almost bewilder us.
| am frequently asked, (Which section
Of the country do you like the best?'
There can be but one answer; each sec
ton. north, south, east and west has its
comparative advantages and disadvan-
tages.
For fruits, flowers, wheat, stock
and winter climate, give me California.
For the most fertile soil, give me the
Mississippi delta.
For climate and soil give me the south
western states.
For prosperous, frugal citizenship
GIVE me the rural districts of Ohio, Penn
Sylvania and New York.
For immense wheat crops and biz
yards give me the northwest.
laziness, sun shine and sand, pines and
poverty, give me Florida.
But when it comes to climate and soil,

around ATLANTA. Ca, and you have the
ideal section of America.

and marble, clay and coal, soil and seed
time, health and harvest, rock and rivers,
hog and hominy, pride and poverty,

greatly enjoyed as among any people
under the sun.
The lines between the rich and poor
arei not so closely drawn; here one man
is as good as another, or little better.
The man who emigrates from north
Georgia to better his condition, is much
ike some of our wild boys l have
met out vest who left Georgia to
reform their habits, and they found
when they got to Texas that it was not
change of geographical location, but
change of charachter that they needed.
So it is not emigration to the west, but
industry and frugality where you are
that will win.
If our farmers will let the democrats
and republicans run politics, and they
run their plantations, they will raise
more hay and less help in the south.
The farmers are good men. Many of
them will get to heaven, but few of them
will ever get to Washington, and really
mat is not on the way to heaven, no
& way
That st. Louis convention a few days
ago reminded me much of the colored
republican convention in Georgia-most
all mouth and no tail.
