Will Trolley Line Be
Extended To Palmyra?
RUMORED THAT ALBANY TROLLEY LINE WILL BE EXTENDED
TO MAKE CIRCUIT INTO LEE COUNTY BY WAY OF
PALMYRA, WHICH WILL BE MADE AFARK
AND PLEASURE RESORT

Though there is no definite con-
frmation of them, there are rumors
abroad that when the new trolley
line in Albany is completed it will
be extended to Palmyra in Lee
county, a distance Of about five
miles from Albany, while Palmyra
will be made pleasure resort Of
the most attractive kind.
This is one Of the most interest
ing development stories for Lee
county that has been discussed re-
Gently. The feasibility Of the plan is
acknowledged by those who are fa-
miliar with the possibilities of de-
veloping that section Of Lee county
adjacent to Albany and Dougherty.
1t is claimed that this development
can be done with consequent benefit
of the greatest kind to both Dough-
erty and Lee counties.
Already Palmyra is one Of the
most popular resorts near Albany.
1t has been SO for years, though
there is no way in which to reach
it except by automobile, other We
hicle or motor boat from Albany
The establishment Of a trolley line,
it is claimed, would make Palmyra
a resort that would be second to
none of it's kindin Georgia. The ma
tural beauty of the place is the only
attraction now, and to this could be
added other things in the way of
conveniences demanded at such :
resort, so that all Of Albany co.,!
make it playground and GaiQ-c-
ment center in favorable weati /
and on holiday occasions.
In connection with the extension
of the trolley line to Palmyra it is
claimed that it would stimulate the
building If suburban residences all
along the hne. This would bring
much greater growth to that section
of Lee county. In this manner it is |
believed that the plan could bemade
a feasible and practical one. Ger
tainly Albany in it's rapid growth
will demand the extension of its
trolley line to some pleasing resort,
and there is none so near or 30 pop
ular alrea(y as Palmrya.

Ever Published Here,
So Say. Representative Elijah B. Lee.

recently in speaking of the excellent

scriber for it, and all the job work
l have is sent to The Journal Office. "

According to the plans of several
we'll known citizens who are backing
the project, Leesburg will have lar
ger gin facilities this fall than ever.
A large, modern ginnery is planned
by these citizens, who have already
made preliminary canvas for stock
to finance the undertaking.
Among those who are interested
in the new undertaking are Messrs.
]. A. Lipsey, S. J. Woman, Il. K.
Stovall, ]. NJ. Cannon, B. E. Fou-
che, O. w. statham, NJ. w. Kitch-
ems, Eugene Morgan and a number
of Others. It will be seen from this
that the stockholders in the new
company will be numerous. They
are also enthusiastic for the success
OF the undertaking.
In connection with the establish
ment of the new ginnery it has been
pointed out that present ginning fa-
cilities here are insufficient for the
demand. So rapidly has the demand
for such facilities grown here that
it is necessary for another ginnery
to be established. 1t is estimated
that a much larger per cent OF cot
ton will be brought to Leesburg
from the surrounding county if ia
cilities for having it ginned here
promptly can be secured. It is for
the purpose Of supplying this very
urgent need that the new company
is to be formed.
This new enterprise for Leesburg,
which will aid largely in bringing
additional cotton here, consequently
additional trade, should help very
much in building up the town and
county. It is but anotherindication
of the growth of Lee County that
The Journal has been foreeasting
and which the Journal is pleased to
see. Every industrial and manufac-
turing enterprise that can be gained
for Leesburg means corresponding
growth here in all lines Of trade.
Every effort toward building up a
bigger and better business here
should meet with the hearty sup
port of the people of the county.

Battle Brothers Have
Best Mules And Horses
Sold o. Most Reasonable Terms.

Every farmer in Lee county who
is interested in buying a mule or
horse sho6ld he sure to read the
large half-page display ad in this
issue of The Journal showing the
advantages to be gained by getting
live stock from Battle Brothers in
Albany. This is a well known firm
in Albany and has long enjoyed a
thriving trade with Lee county far
mers.
A large assortment OF mules and
horses may be seen a. the stables Of
Battle Brothers in Albany, and it
will pay every Lee county farmer
who is interested to see these ami
mails at once. The demand for mules
and horses TINS season is sCfong, ana
the stock may lie quickly thinned
out.
The fact that the Albany market
of Battle Brothers is SO convenient
to the farmers Of the county and
offers such exceptional values should
gain for them the trade of Lee coun-
ty farmers who wish horses and
mules. They solicit the trade Of the
farmers of the County and promise
the best values for the money that
can be obtained.

statements. The people OF Lee

gers as a citizen of the county and
wish him a most successful stay

For Leesburg This Fall.
MANY WELL KNOWN CITIZENS HERE HAVE SUBSCRIBED FOR
STOCK IN AN INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKING THAT
Will MEAN MUCH FOR THE GROWTH OF THIS
TOWN AND THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

splendid growth for town and coun-
ty. Several sites are being inspected
now, and it is planned to begin
work on the new plant as soon as
possible so that it may be ready for
business next fall when the next
cotton crop begins to come in.

mutually beneficial to both Dough-
erty and Lee counties and should
help promote still further the pleas
ant trade relations and social inter-
courses between the two counties.
