TRAVELLERS HOME.

1t is a great relief for tourists to
know that there is a hotel on their
route that they can rely upon as be-
ing worthy of patronage. IT is a
grtevous fact that in most towns the
size of Bronwood that if there is a
hotel at all it is so far behind the
times that it is a bore for a guest to
remain there. Brentwood can boast
of a modern hotel for travellers in
the Travellers Home, of which the
accompanying picture is likeness.
The broad cool veranda almost
touches Main street, which Bronwood
people hope to some day see link
of a national highway. Many auto
parties stop over here several hours
at a time, and they always leave
town with a bouquet for the excel
lent table service and general accom-
modations offered at the Home. The
hotel is owned and run " Dr. and
Mrs. II. A. Wall. Much that makes
it a general pleasure to stop there
is the equipment of the hotel An
acetyline gas plant has been installed
and together with the waterwOrks
and other modern accessories one
barely recognizes the difference from
city. Then, too, DR.. Wall and his
family are all congenial people who
never meet stranger and never
know what it is to have a guest feel
other than perfectly at home, they
are SO attentive.
DR.. Wall has for years been a very
prominent physician in this immedi-
ate territory. 1t would be useless to
state that he came to Bronwood from
Buena Vista, Ga, as he has been a
resident of Terrell county so long
DR.. Wall received his professional
education in Augusta. Besides be-
ing an active practitioner he owns
an interest in the Wall Drug Co.'S.
establishment He also owns hand
some dwelling on Geise street. The
building is one of the best locations
in town, being next to the Methodist
church and only about a block and
half from the postoffice.

having been a merchant here for two
years before going into partnership
with his brother. Mr.. w. H. Miller

and other interests of the store,
having received his training at Stan

MIR. j. L. MURRAY.

The accompanying cut is of the
residence of Mr.. j. L. Murray. The
cut does not do the home justice, be-
ing unable to show the beautiful
grove in front. 1t is situated on the
edge of town as one drives out to-
ward Dawson. Mr.. Murray's farm
adjoins his residence lot, and just
back of the home he has a peach
orchard and pecan grove. His pecan
grove is magnificent lot Of nut
trees of an improved variety.
Mr., Murray moved to Brentwood
from Schley county At first he pur-
chased a place about four miles east
of town, but soon bought the place
he now owns and moved in where
he might reap the benefits of the eX-
cellent school, having a large family,
and be better allied with the interests
of the community in general He
has become prominent in religious
affairs as we'll as otherwise, being a
prominent member of the Methodist
church. He raises nearly all provis-
ions for furnishing his place, and
rests content and happy, unmolested
by either trusts or high-cost of living.

inc business. He is another one of
the Terrell county product, having
been reared several miles south of
town. At the early age of is he
began clerking with a firm in BrOn-
wood. After several years stay here
his ability as a salesman was recOg-
nized, and he was induced to move to
Dawson, where he remained for four
years. In January 1908, he return
ed to Brentwood to form partner
ship with Mr.. E. S. Barnes in the
mercantile business After three
years of prosperous business the firm
dissolved, Mr. Massey assuming en-
tire control With his wide range of
experience he is an able salesman,
and in every way a Wide-awake bust
ness man. Along with his regular
line of general merchandise Mr.. Mas
sey handles as speCialtieS the Boyden
shoe and the familiar International
Harvester Co.'S. machinery. He has
a good trade in the line of moving
machines, rakes and disc ploWs, de
has realized that conscientious, care
full buying means as much to a mer-
chant as the most extraordinary sales
receipts. 50 he has determined to
make a trip north every season and
do the principal part of his purchas-
ing firgt-hand, thus eliminating sew
eral classes of middlemen with their
healthy profits. This Mr.. Massey
thinks. will mean much to him and
his customers financially, and he Will
consider it an excellent vacation from
the daily grind of his commercial
duties.
Mr.. Massey's brother, Mr.. H. G.
Massey has become quite factor
in the business He is with him reg
ularly, and knows the stock of goods,
and having had considerable expert
ence in clerking has become an eff
Gent salesman.
Mr. Massey always endeavors to
accommodate his customers by allow
ing the very highest market prices
for all country produce. He lets his
friends know that he is as much i'll
terested in their welfare as he is his
own. The trade appreciates such ia
YOrs, and in turn reCiprOcates. Hard
" enough can be said in favor of Mr..
Massey's store. He carries a very
attractive line of merchandise and
considers quality in his wares as well
as quantity To all those who have
been in the community any length
of time he wishes to express his ap-
probation in every manner possible
for their past patronage, and to all
newcomers he earnestly soIicits their
trade and assures them of the best
of service. He keeps delivery boy
on hand at all times, and a phone
call is all that is necessary.

A. c. Mcneil He is a farmer, cotton
buyer and local representative of the
Southern Cotton Oil Co. For the
past several years his prices for cot
ton have been sensation, his limit
is always so good. He is again this
season with the Georgia Cotton Co.,
and assures the farmer that his mar
ket will still hold it's own with any
other. Also he is right in the seed
market. See him before you even
think of selling if you are a local
planter He is a friend of the far
mer, being one himself, having been
reared just beyond the city limits on
a magnificent farm. 1t means much
to him to be engaged in the seed and
cotton buying business in connection
with his farming interests, as he can
always keep in touch with the mar
ket and can better appreciate the po-
sition of the farmer, with whom he
must necessarily deal.

All those little antique relics
the ante-bellum days have about van
ished from the southern part Of Geor-
gia, and today around the town first
known as Powers, then as Browns
Station and finally as Bronwood we
find nothing but modern buildings
surrounded by the most modern of
farming implements and store houses
filled with up-to-date lines of mer-
chandise. Brentwood commenced
with but saw mill and few little
log huts The town was chartered in
1883, and from that day till this has
been gradually growing and evolu-
tiOnizing itself into a town of unlim-
tied possibilities. 1t has now pop
ulation of about 500, and it's growth
during the past five years has far
exceeded that of any fifteen years
previous.
The town cannot boast of any phe-
nomenal growth in it's early career,
as it was not destined to be a large
and thriving city right at first The
pioneer farmers knew nothing Of the
great country they possessed, and
they had no real estate agents or
firms at that time to cut up the land
into small lots, have a big blow over
it and finally sell them out at a pub
lie auction and drawing to disap-
pointed homeseekers. Bronwood
had no such birth, and the town is
still not being sacrificed on the real
estate affairs by any big firm seeking
solely pecuniary gains for themselves
without reference to the welfare of
the town or the purchasers of the
property All that has been said
and claimed for the place has been
the fruits of loyal host of citizens
who believe in their property and
who are willing to vouch for its
worth.
The argument that has to be met is,
why Bronwood has not grown all
the time as it has for the past sew
eral years? The answer has partly
been given. Also the town had to
grow as the spirit of the people grew.
1t had no promoters as some whirl-
wind towns have had, and during
these past years the people knew not
what a treasure was at their COM

mand. Like the whole South the
section Is waking up to it's possibili-
ties, and the people have come to re-
aIize that here is the land of oppor-
tunity and that it does not lie in the
city. A glance at the number of bus
mess men who have been reared
here, and who have gone away and
received an education that they
might come back where their child
hood days were spent and help de-
velOp the interests of their people
and better their community will
testify that the long-needed awaken
ing has at last materialized.
Bronwood reaped a benefit by this
process of development to a certain
degree. The dwellings, are all of
modern plans and, being put up by
a deliberate people, are far above
the average in elegance, style and
structure. The majority of houses
are painted, and although stocklaw
prevents cattle from running at
large most of the homes are enclosed
by neat fences bordering lawns or
flower yards.
AS for the school, the building
would do credit to any town. 1t de-
notes progress in itself. Not two
years ago the old school building,
which itself was comparatively new,
being put up in 1904, was destroyed
by fire, The citizens realizing their
position commenced work immedi-
ateIy, and soon had completed and
furnished an $4,000 building de-
voted to education. The school is
run on the local tax system, and is
a graded school, preparing for en-
trance into Georgia colleges. Be-
sides the principal there is a corps
of three assistant teachers in the
literary department and one teacher

wood people to boast of a barbershop
such as Mr.. Stokes has.
