The Valdosta Times reports the action of
pubIic meetings OF colored citizens of South
west Georgia to express reprobation OF the
trCguent heinOuS crimes committed by ne
proes and to suggest remedies. One such
meeting resolved that We, as better class,

the visitor Is struck with the appearance of
thrift and growth that our beautiful town pre-

this respect presents strong contrast to
most towns they visit. buildings are going
up in almost every section Of the town, and

flying touch, dawns ubon the country?
