would also trade with HUMPHREYS.

Guided, with a chuclIle, twas that the

themselves, while Sol went into bank

RAY CITY MILLTOWN
.t RAILROAD PROPOSED

VALDOSTA, Feb. THAT a line
of railroad may be built from Ray
City to Midtown is said to be among
the possibilities of 1928 development
in South Georgia. This extension
of track has been discussed for Two
or three years, but until now fnan-
cial depressions have vetoed the mat
ter.
Recently, however, with money
matters apparently getting easier
with the railroads, the talk has been
revived and the work may be car
ried out during the present year
This ling would connect the Georgia
and Florida railway with Midtown
and the fine country through that
section of Lanier county.
