GLORIOUS SOUTH GEORGIA.


In the rational Magazine for Sep

his article on GLORIOUS 81 s'5c3rssiisas s z
which was begun in the August num-
Der of the periodical
The second installment OF the story
of the Souths Empire State deals
more fully with South Georgia than
did the first. 1t is filled with illustra-
tions, and while the water powers of
the northern section of this state come
in for considerable attention, the story
told is really that of the southern
section of the state. There are. many
pictures of Savannah. These show al
view of Bull street, a scene on the
river, a stretch of the naval stores
docks of the port and many other pic
lures that will interest the residents
of this city.
The photographs dealing with South
Georgia products are numerous. There
are several which depict life on the
turpentine farms and in the lumber
mills of this section of the st9te and
the strawberry pickers and Others en-
gagged in industries incidenA 10 this

attractive features of the article.

of the operations in the naval stores
