Now that the completion Of the

to me that the people fortunate
enough to own property along tie
line could do nothing better than
turn their attention to identifying
what will be one of the finest paved
roads in the State, running through
The garden spot of Georgia. Crepe
Myrtle is most satisfactory shrub
for our long summers, blooming
continuously throughout the season
with very little care. Suppose we
