in one direction. because you may fall
in with some stream, and can follow

nail, and you have discovered where
the sun is.
You can discover the points OF the
compass in other ways; by noticing
that the tops OF the tall trees incline
to the north; that the leaves OF trees
are generally closer on the south
side: that their branches are shorter
and more irregular on the north side.

Immigrants Are Coming
Into The Central Tract
Already Five Tracts Have Been Sold.

Already five farm tracts have been
sold to immigrants who vii. settle
on the tract recently secured by the
Central Of Georgia railway in the
southern part Of Lee county, just
below Leesburg.
The first purchaser, according to
Mr.. D. I. Beatie, Of the Beatie-
Shaffer Co., Of Albany, the popular
real estate firm that is interested in
this and other Lee county lands,
was a Californian. The next was a
North Georgian, who has already
settled on the tract he secured and
is thoroughly in love with Lee
county.
There are many prospects for a
large number Of additional settlers
soon, and the tract will have a thriy-
ing white community before the
winter is over. The county com.
nissioners will likely complete the
roads through the tract just as soon
as they finish the work on the re-
pairing of the Andersonville- Thorn
asville highway, which is being put
in excellent condition.
