Thousand miles 70 this place. All Of

journey We lost oil Of our best horses.
! merely mention these things to show
that . man we'll located should not
move. There was no settlement here
when We came, but western industry
and enterprise have done wonders and
changed the face Of the country here
shouts. A large city has been SUR

graded, and deep wells being drilled.
About three thousand people have ar.
riveh, although the managers Of the
colony are doing Ill they can to keep
back the large crowds that are anxious
70 bome south. Dollars don't grow on
trees here, and no one can get work
unless he owns stock Ia the colony.
Colonists Who came BY rail brought the
finest horses and cows, the first ever
seen in this part Of Georgia. There
arc more than two hundred double
teams here from the west, although
hay Il rs . ton and oats SOC . bushel.
Temporary buildings are going up
Al over the country, and lots in our
| city are changing hands at booming
prices, big trees still "a them. A large
shingle mill runs day and night and il
unable to supply the demand. GU,

Per day, and four mills not on the col

The first city election in the

apace. aud while as yet but little
apparent hustling is being done
in any direction still there is an
undercurrent of preliminary skir.
mishing being indulged in by
the official aspirants aud to an

look like q two, if not three,

ident Of Virginia for a year or
more, aud are !; :;oown to the peo.
pie Of the city whose suffrage
they ask. and The Enterprise
deems it unnecessary to say
aught relative to the Various
candidates, believing that per.
sonal popularity with the voters
will prove the greatest benefit in
the contest and that the majority
of voters have already made up
their minds as to the ticket they
will support.
At the same time, it is of tho
utmost Importance that the city
should elect for it's first officers
the best men to bc found; but
we nave faith in the Intelligence
and integrity OF the citizens of
Virginia to believe they will
weigh all sides and vote in &C.

victlons.
