A NEW CITY.

 

A LARGE BODY OF PEOPLE FOR THE SOUTH


 

A colony of ten thousand people is now being organized in the north for the purpose of settling in the south, to build a city and farming community.  This movement is under the management of P. H. Fitzgerald, of Indianapolis, Indiana.  Mr. Fitzgerald is the founder of the large colony of northern people, who a few years ago, came down from the north and located ten thousand people in Georgia.  They formed a city and a fruit farming industry.  The city was called Fitzgerald, and is located in Irwin County, Georgia.

The colony proved a great success, when today, those people are all doing well.  The new city is well built up, has several Banks, Churches, Schools and many industries, besides, some four Railroads entering the New City.

Having made that location a grand success, Mr. Fitzgerald has been solicited to locate another one, and it is now being organized at Indianapolis, Indiana.  There is no reason why this state should not secure this large body of people.  Mr. Fitzgerald proposes to leave the location to a committee of members of the Colony Company, as soon as it is organized and formed.  This committee will come South to look for a suitable location.

His plans are on a Mutual Stock Company basis - purchasing a  large body of land, forming a city and laying the land off into tracts of various sizes, for truck and farm use.  The members are given first choice of what they wish, either lots in the city, or land tracts.  After the New City is formed, the lands around the city.  Next comes ten-acre tracts, then forty and then eighty-acre farms.  

Mr. Fitzgerald says he will require some fifty thousand acres of land.  To get so large a body, he expects to purchase plantations.  The lands are all divided and given direct to the members, so each member gets a deed for his own lots or lands.  Under his plans it gives people of moderate means a chance to own their homes, with but very little costs to them.  

Full plans can be had by addressing Col. P. H. Fitzgerald, 46 Fitzgerald Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind.

One of our Standing Rock friends in speaking of their recent meeting a few days ago said: "Our preacher does not sugar coat things and tell you the good side of your life and let the bad go unnoticed, but he points out your meanness and if you are a thinking man, puts your mind to work.  All classes, high and low, need to be told wherein they fall short of thier duty."

There is little room in this broad world of ours for the person who is constantly doing things to spite his neighbor, and sooner or later you will get full pay for all your spiteful deeds.  Remember the kindness shown you and you will have less room for spite.

COLE-KELLEY.

 

At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning a concourse of the friends and relatives gathered at the beautiful new country home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Couch to witness the ceremony that was to unite the hearts and destinies of Miss Corrie Reese Cole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cole, and Mr. Edward H. Kelley, of Atlanta.

The prettily arranged parlor was beautifully decorated with vines, palms, ferns, and cut flowers in profusion; the very atmosphere seemed resonant with the rustle of Cupid's wings.

Promptly at the appointed hour the couple entered the parlor and were met by Rev. J. R. King, of Newnan, who pronounced the words that made them man and wife, and thus these two young lives, like two streamlets winding and rippling down hill and through vale, at last ran together, and became "two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one."

Miss Cole is a young lady, who by her very charming disposition and pleasing appearance, has won hosts of friends wherever known.  Mr. Kelley is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Kelley of Atlanta, and is a young man who has very bright prospects for his future.  He holds a good position with Kelley Bros., large wholesale grocery people of Atlanta.

The happy rice laden bride and groom left on the morning train for Lithia Springs, where they will spend two weeks.  May their future be as bright as the present promises.

This couple are both well known by our people,, having lived here for a number of years and have numbers of friends who join in wishing them many years of happiness, peace and prosperity.
