BIG BOOM
Colonel B. L. Bugg Says That
Georgia Will Benefit From
Florida Boom

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. News
papers and other publications are OPP
timistic over the migration of people
from the Northern States. While
they express congratulations to Flor
ida on the boom which that state has
experienced from the large number
of people flocking there from ali
points of the nation, yet they hold
the belief that all the southern states
will profit from the Florida boom
and especially Georgia.
The migration, it is pointed out,
will accomplish several things among
them an increase in population, has
ten farm diversification and develop
manufacturing enterprises.
Officials of the A. B. and A., rail
way who are now seeking to find
purchasers for farms all along then
lines, provided they are put in prop
err condition, stress the fact that III
Georgia crops can be grown the year
round, fruit, vegetables, dairying,
poultry and cattle and stock raising,
all to the advantage of the section.
Colonel B. L. Bugs, head of the
railway system, predicts that the peo-
pie who are seeking investments and
locations will turn to Georgia during
the next few years as they have new
err turned before in its history.
Business men here do not hesitate
to say that the opportunities in the
South generally at the present time
are most inviting and when the tide
has turned it will sweep over all
southern states and prosperity and
growth will be general.
