TO BE A GREAT GATHERING

Great interest has been aroused
among the farmers and landowners OF
Brunswick and this county, as well as
among the business men, by the pro-
posed Satsuma development and col
onization company, and it is altogeth-
err likely that the meeting to be held
at seven-thirty O'Clock tonight at the
1ity hall to organize the company will
one of the most largely attended
Nv representative citizens and the most
enthusiastic ever held in Brunswick
The Board of Trade reports daily in
quiries from farmers as to where they
can buy from half-dozen to hun
dred trees for planting on their places.
These inquiries are being referred to

,Parkwood Also. the Board Of trade
receives now an average of three let
tnrs a day from people all over Geor-
eia. and sometimes from other states,
inquiring about the horticultural pos
eibilites around Brunswick. and par
oranges.
Undoubtedlv the VIDE publicity that
this movement has aroused is taking
effect at widely separated points.
Secretary Smith says that the claim

contemplate this rlantin@ for com
mercial purposes. hut only that thew

they NAV have the fresh fruit for
their own use.
These who are thoroughly convers-

that. if Brunswick does not grasp this
onnortunitv. or our citizens allow any
thing to disrunt or interfere with the
organization of the company at the
meeting TONIGHT. the opportunity OF a
lifetime will be gone. and. at the
least. progress in building M nros-
Porous populoUs back-country will be
DELAYED several years. The balance
