The following letter discusses an I'M
portant subject. and is written by a
weli-known citizen Of Richmond. who is
past department commander OF Virginia,
Grand Army Of the Republic:
RICHMOND VA, July %, 1926.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
A movement is on foot in Indiana, and
apparentiy well advanced, TO locate a
large colony OF Union veterans upon the
farming lands of Georgia. II Georgia can
induce such a settlement why should
not Virginia make an effort 10 secure one
or more Of such colonies? l am sure
Georgia does not possess as great store
OF natures blessings and other attractions
for these colonists "a may be found any
where in Virginia. Here We can raise
successfully every crop grown in the
Northern States. This Is more or less
a grazing and stock-rasing country.
Our climate is a medium between the ey-
IRENE cold on the north and the extreme
heat on the south of us. Our whole tide
water section, extending inland more than
one hundred miles, cannot be surpassed
nv any other Southern State in cheap and
productive lands, and In the variety and
extent of the grain, grasses, vegetables,
and fruits which can be made TO grow
thereon.
Our first colonlsts found here an I'M
broken wilderness, fertile land. and valu-
able natural wild products: climate I'M
equalIed; navigabie waters. filled with
cholce nsh. oysters, clans. terrapns. and
delicious game birds, and in the forests
deer. turkeys, and smaller game. Now
all these are here to-day, with the addi-
ton Of railroads, steamboats,. mills, fac
tories, cities. and towns.
True the lands are somewhat depleted,
hut in the guiches and under almost every
farm is the richest mari for their restora-
ton. The sun shines mildly, as II did
on the earlier settler, and the sea and
bay breezes ian ones cheeks in the warm
evenings. as they did the followers OF
John Smith. / know or no section of the
south wherein these old veterans will
receive a more cordial welcome, enjoy
better health, live cheaper from natures
well-nlled store OF fish, oysters, game,
and wild fruits then they can enjoy In
Eastern Virginia.
Since IL is known that there is a present
and increasing desire among many old
soldiers and others 70 escape from the
cold and cherries winters which obtains
throughout the great Northwest, the time
is ripe TO encourage the settlement here
OF this most dsirable class OF investors.
There are many large tracts OF good
land In the eastern section of our State
which could be more readily sold II sub
divided into small farms Owners Of
such tracts should bear in mind that
among land seekers from the North there
are hundreds of enquiries for small farms
70 one for large tracts. IL Is on such
tracts, II the owners would consent to
their subdivision, that j would advise my
northern comrades 10 settle.
To locate a few families here and
there In the same neighborhood upon
some choice tracts or tracts Is much
easier OF accomplishment. and far more
satisfactory TO the settlers. than for
them TO take their chances with o much

In July, 1893, the idea OF vacation

plan Il place was purchased in the neigh
