SETTLERS POURING IN.
Development Along the Line of the
Georgia and Alabama.

Development Along the Line of the
Georgia and Alabama.
Americas, Ga, April 13.-General Pass
enger Agent Stallings of the Georgia and
Alabama railway has just returned from
a trip over the eastern division of that
system and is enthusiastic over the rapid
work of development throughout the tim
bered and wiregrass region. New towns
are springing up, and even at this season
the tide of immigration still flows steadily
from the west and north to this favored
region
Within a week or two. Mr.. stalllngs
saws. two colonies have located there, the
first consisting of nineteen French
families, who bought lands
near Helena, while the sec
ond was made up of seventeen families
who came from North Georgia and pur-
chased lands at Lloyd, new town in
Dolly county. Mr. Stallings thinks that
within the past two years his road has
handled not less than 1900 passengers
from the north and west alone, and while
some of these were only prospecting thou-
sands purchased land and became citizens
of Georgia.
Outside of the towns new saw-mills are
being constructed, while team roads are
being laid to mills remote from the rail-
road. These afford the road an enormous
business, which is constantly increasing.
The fruit industry, too, is receiving con-
siderable attention and in the vicinity OF
Helena, Fitzgerald and Pitts alone more
than two million trees, Mr.. Sailing says,
are now growing vigorously These are
mostly peach, pear and plum trees, and
will be in fun bearing next year, thus
affording the road another source Of rev.
enue. The farms are well cultivated all
along the line, the people appear prosper
Gus and contented, and altogether new
and brighter era has dawned for the wire
grass region traversed by the Georgia
and Alabama railway

a proposal which Sir Wilfrid I.aurier
refused.
