Sloan, Deceased. 5-13-4t-oaw T. A. Adams, Attorney. (Monroe Enquirer.) When it comes to lending a helping hand the people, of Lanes Creek town ship allow none to surpass them. They allow no man to suffer down in that good township, if kind attention and helpfulness in hour of need can pre vent it. Mr. H. L. Autry of Lanes Creek township, has been sick and un able to prepare his land and plant his crop. Last Thursday a large num ber of Mr. Autry's neighbors went to his house and before sunset they had put him up with his work and left his fields in fine condition. Mr. Raymond Pressley,. a neighbor of Mr. Autry, had been sick, too, and last Saturday his good neighbors and friends took a large number of horses and plows to his fields and prepared his land for seed and did his planting. Lanes Creek is all right, but that's not news, for good folks have been living down there ever since the Indians left. - k rs yv T TfTTTrn "NT Tr c TT T TTA T s? I III I I I M .

Owners of productive Muds are benefltins by the increasing high cost of living, while others are suffering from it. An Opportunity to Secure Rich Productive Land Without Capital. A FREAK PUPPY. (Cleveland Star.) Included among a litter of puppies born to the French poodle belong ing to George Crittendon, was a freak puppy, which in its way was every bit as remarkable as the late Siamese twins, so experts who examined the puppy declared. The dog was born with eight legs, two tails and one head and lived nearly all day, and Mr. Crittenden said the animal probably would have remained alive had not its mother neglected it. The puppy's head was that of a well-developed poodle of very tender age, but a casual glance at the body showed what appeared to be a clus ter of legs and tails. Detailed ex amination showed that four of the legs were at the front of the dog and four at the back, and two tails swung together. Mr. Crittendon will preserve the puppy in alcohol. The other pup pies in the litter were normal. Tou will not be required to leave your present sur roundings now. All we ask of those to whom we grant tracts is that they plant, or arrange, to hive planted, ft crop of one of the above-mentioned products within three year3. after which we will have it operated (har vested and replanted) for grantees, n -onsidtration of V 55 per cent, of the net profits derive.4' Jim the sale of crops, thereby allowing the grantee to pursue his or her Jiresent occupation until such time as they determine ust what the yield of their acrs amounts to. Con eider what this may mean as a source of income, when ' statistics show that the yield of one acre of celery amounted to $1,268.45, and that one acre of well-cared-'or paper shell pecans, in full bearing, should net its owner as high as 5500.00 per year. We are of the opin ion that after it is proven by actual results obtained in operating the land that they will need no further urging, and waste no time in locating in this land of plenty. we also require grantees to occupy the land within ten years, or sell it to some one who will occupy it; otherwise it reverts back to the grantor. The- land included in this opening is located directly on and adjoining the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad, 'about twenty-five miles west cf Brunswick, a thriving city of fifteen thousand. having direct Bteamship service to New York, and Boston, and excel ;ent railroad transportation facilities to all points. The average temperature for six months of the year, from April to October, is 77 degrees; the climate is most healthful, delightful, and invigorating, and there is an ample rainfall of 51 inches per vear. OLft --I3I IS FOU MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL. RESULTS . As we are extremely desirous of having settlers locate n this property, and assist in its development, and thereby greatly Increase the value of surrounding and Intervening property, which we will hold, and to in crease the traffic along the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad, and thu3 facilitate the service, we feel warranted In granting these tracts to those who register with us. We also have In mind business and residence plots which we will offer for sale after the opening, but which will not be included in it. We have money-making afterward" considerations i this liberal-minded opening, similar to throe al th, Northern Pacific and other railroads when they granted their lands, and we expect to benefit thereby, as well as the ones who will receive the tracts. We have also planned to develop what is designed to be the best equipped, most up-to-date, scientific, com mercial farm and orchard in existence. It will cou sist of six thousand acres, and will be included in this opening. All who register and receive tracts will get the benefit of the experiments and scientific methods in vogue thereon. While we are arranging to prevent over-registration, we will avoid many disappointments, such as occurred in other land openings conducted by the United States Government and railroads, by grant ing thosts who register in excess of the number of tracts to be granted, an interest in this commercial farm and orchard enterprise, in the hope that they may later locate in one of our four town sites. Examination of the land will cheerfully be permitted, And the opening will be held at Browntown, Wayne County, Georgia, one of the stations of the A. B. & A. Railroad, which is located on. this property, and will occur as soon after the closing Of registrations- as arrangements can be made. ' f The presence of those registered will not be neces sary at Browntown on the opening day. unless they wish to attend, for there will be bo favoritism shown anyone. It will be conducted by a committee selected for the purpose, and those registered will be notified of what they have been granted, as soon as possible. With the ever-increaslngr population of this country there is no corresponding increase in the area of land, and naturally as the population increases aad seeks the land in pursuit of health, happiness and independ ence, It will continue to be harder to secure. The prosperous and contented class in Europe today are the descendants of those who secured land there when it was plentiful, while the descendants of those who obtained no land are now the peasants and slaves. Vou must realise that this may be your last chance to secure land in this country without a large outlay of capital, so it should not be necessary to urge you to act at once by forwarding uc the application attached to this announcement. .
