Loo. L. p. Windsor is the mayor, and II .
d. Wooten. marshal. The town has the
most perfect natural drainage, and it's
healthfulness is beyond guess The
streets are broad, and nicely shaded with
beautiful trees. The morals are excellent
and no intoxicating drinks are sold. The
people are church-gong and law-abiding
citizens. In the past two years several
handsome residences have been completed
Many houses are now being built and
contracts have been let for a large cotton
warehouse, and bank building.
The merchants are said to be in fine
financial shape and doing a thriving
business.
The South Georgia college located here
is very handsome two-story brick struct-
ure, and Is beautifully situated upon a
high hill, within plain view of both the
Southern and Georgia and Alabama rail-
roads.
The building OF this cottage here has
added much to McRae. Having greatly

of real estate. Prof r. J. Stozier is pres
ident and has seven assistants
McRae has churches, 10 stores, 5 law
yers doctors, newspapers, 2 hotels 2
livery stables and / planning mill.
The agricultural interest of this county
has nearly doubled in the past few years.
The farmers of this section as a rule have
good houses, plenty of provisions and are
out of debt Many of the more successful
farmers have money in the banks.

harvest will be abundant The number
of bales of cotton received here last year
was double that of any previous year,
and from present indications this year re-

me: Il tell you, sir, that any man who
will work can make a bountiful support
and some money farming here in South
Georgia, but" said he, they can't do it

Dr. J. NJ. Mcneil. one of the leading real
estate men of this county, is receiving
many inquiries from home-seekers, who
wish to locate In South Georgia. The
doctor says that the people are finding
out that South Georgia is the colorado,
