Climate and Soil

The climate is such that far
mers do not have to house
stock during the winter, there
being good grazing theentire
year. For raising cattle and
stock Georgia offers greater
inducements than can be
found elsewhere.
The soil is suited for almost
anything that grows and can
be utilized the entire year.
The prices at which good
farm land can be purchased
at present in Georgia are so
low that it is a matter of
COMMENT some thinking
that the land is not so good
as stated. The land is good,
but there are thousands of
acres that are now lying idle
and the good people of
Georgia are anxious for good
eamongthem.
Consequently the land is
cheaper here than elsewhere.

FARMER KILLED NEAR HOME
Man Who Paid Victim Money on Day
 of Murder, Is Held.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 TeXarkana.-George B. Thaggard, a farmer 50 years of age, was murdered within 200 yards of his home on d boulevard in a suburb of Texarkana. His body was found the following morning in clump of bushes 300 feet from the boulevard.
 Robbery was unquestionably the motive for the murder as Thaggard is known to have had a large sum of money on his person and none was found on the body. Thaggard went to his farm, near Queen City, where he sold several bales of cotton and re- ceived $165 rent money from Eugene Mason.
 Mason has been arrested and placed in jail at New Boston, charged with causing Thaggard's death. The off cers claim that they have evidence that Mason was with Thaggard on the night the latter was killed and that he started home with Thaggard from the railroad station. Mason denies, how ever, that he was in Texarkana on the night of the killing.
