AS this is one Of the busiest sea-

though wise to defer the organiza-
ton Of the board until later in the
year when it can be more largely
attended. 1t is hoped to have at

Of citizens from all sections Of Lee
county, every who will come, at
which the board will be orglaized
and its work outlined and discussed.

Of Commerce Of Albany, has voIun-

assist in the organization. His in-

We wish to thank each one Of our

Pecan Corporation Has
Secured Mckinney Farm
New York Firm Has Bought the Mckinney
Plantation.

Announcement has been made
here of the securing of the valuable
estate OF Mr.. B. I. Mckinney, near
Smithville, consisting Of about $50
acres, by q large pecan corporation
ri New Ierll. The deal is one of
the most successful that has been
carried through in Lee county real
estate in some time.
1t is understood that good price
was paid by the corporation for the
Mckinney farm, which lies near
Smithyille, part of it being right
in incorporated limits. the transfer
having been made by Mr.. Duncan
Forester. Further announcement
concerning the use that will be made
Of the farm is yet to be made def
initeIy, though tits understood that
the company which has secu~ ed the
land will use it for pecan tracts.
There is one of the numerous
transfers of real estate that have
been made in Lee county this year.
A large number of acres of Lee eoun-
ty land has changed hands since
January 1 : while the activity in real
estate here is increasing rapidly in
stead Of decreasing. A good part
of the lard sold is to be used for
pecan culture, though the most en-
couraging feature of this real estate
activity is the fact that so many
white Immigrants have come to the
county since the year began. With
the coming of the fall and winter
seasons, it is expected that the

Tn its work cfstimulating interest
in the growing Of corn and the d.
versifcation Of crops the Central Ct
Georgia railway is offering this year
the same that this road offered to
the young corn growers OF Lee coun-
ty and various other counties OF the
state last year, These prizes are
Percheron mares as state prizes and
pure bred Berkshire pigs as county
prizes.
The practical worth Of the prizes
offered by the Central are such as
to make them exceptionally desir-
able. The young corn growers Of
Lee county and Of the ether coun-
ties throughout the state are busily
at work trying with each other for
these prizes. The largest yield Of
corn under the most economical cir
cumstances is what is required to
win the prize in each county, while
the largest yield under similar cir
cumstances will win the state prize.
In this manner the rivalry that
has gnwn up among the young corn
groves of the state, stimulated as
it is Vey much further by the local
prizes ways offered by each coun-
ty, hasbecome very strong and has

Says County Board Of Trade
Would Greatly Aid LeeCOunty
AGRICULTURAL AGENT JACKSON, OF THE CENTRAL. AIDS
ORGANIZATION OF ALL THE PEOPLE OF LEE COUN-
.TY INTO HELPFUL AND W1DE-AWAKE
TRADE BODY.

After having read the article in
| The Journal advocating the forma-
ton Of Lee County Board Of Trade
to embrace all the people Of Lee
county who will join it, Mr.. ] r.
jackson, agricultural agent OF the
Central Of Georgia railway gave his
hearty approval to the plan as one
that had succeeded admirably else
where.
1t is necessary, as suggested in
The Journal and as Mr.. Jackson
sees it, that the trade organization
here be made SO as to include al
the people Of Lee county. The coun-
ty, rather than any particular town
or section, should come together to
form the trade organization desired
and to make it complete success.
A nominal membership fee may be
charged in this manner, much
smaller by far than what is asked in
the cities, SO that every loyal citi-
zen Of the county may join.
AS an example Of how we'll this
plan has worked, Mr. Jackson points
to the county board of trade Of
Morgan county, with headquarters
at the county seat, Madison. This
town was too small to have a board
Of trade Of its own as effective as
county board of trade would be, 50
the county board Of trade was form
ed. 1t has proven 4 great success in
Morgan county, and much helpful
and widespread publicity has been
given totItat county through this
live agency Of advertising. A similar
plan, Mr.. jackson, thinks, would
work we'll here.
Interest here in the organization
of a board sof trade has grown since
the announ cement was first made
in The Journal. There is a lively
interest here in the matter, which
would occupy the attention Of every
loyal citizen Of Lee county. Several
expressions Of opinion have been
made in The Journal fror- 80

Barbre and Officer benson, with
perhaps ore or two others knew that
the negro had been captured in a
negro house in the edge Of Albany.
1t is learned that tile negro was
located by Officer benson, who ask
