But when you are wrong it's almost as bad to

For long time to be exact a II the time ever
since the colony was established of the
great draw backs, one Of the hinderances, a
poundagelon Fitzgerald life consisted in the fact
that to 60 any where it was necessary to go to
junction at Abbeville, Waycross, Triton, McRae
or COrdele and wait from two hours to ten, before
the start could be really made, but thank the Lord
after Sunday the sixteenth can take a thro
train to Jacksonville aud points beyond to Atlanta
and the north aud east, and few weeks later to
Birmingham and the west

Editor Mercer of The Fitzgerald Enterprise
says the wregrass section of South Georgia
will produce three times as much as the red
hill country. Now we do not know what
they raise down there besides mosquitoes and
gOphers, but if they happen to raise any cot
ton down in the wiregrass section Well wager
there is not an acre in South Georgia that
win produce four bales and that is only twice
what some of our farmers produce in this Sec
tion.-Lavonia Times.
Now Editor Rush Burton has rushed right in
to trouble. We have lands down here that will
produce four bales per acre. We do not know
what the Editor of the Times will wager but
what ever it is Wen take it. We not only
have land that will produce twice two bales
per ace or have produced that much but
what we meant to say in our first statement was
more to the point and that was that the farm lands
would produce three times as much of field crops
and we believe the average is greater than twice
the average in the average middle Georgia county,
on the average middle Georgia lands.
There are acres and possibly larger tracts in
middle Georgia and even among the rocks of north
Georgia that will produce as much as almost any
land, but when it comes to broad acres or hundred
acre fields, the wire grass has middle Georgia and
north Georgia skinned much more than hundred
percent.
We are not mad about it and we are not say
ing anything against middle Georgia or north
Georgia, its fine country.
What we said was by comparison ANY coun.
try that will produce half as much cotton and corn
Per acre average as this section is fine country
