BIG AGRICULTURE LAND OPENING TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TRACTS of five and ten acres each to be granted to prospective set tlers in throwing open Twenty Thousand Acres of Rich, Southern Georgia Land, which is admirably adapted to the growing of celery, sweet and Irish potatoes, cantel oupes, water melons, corn, oats, cotton, hay in fact, all staple crops grown in this fertile section, as well as a large variety of semi-tropical fruits, and the famous immensely profitable paper-shell pecans. Providing you are eligible under the classif icati ons prescribed by us, you are now offered an excellent opportunity to break away from the drudgery and toil of of a small wage, or working for the benefit of land lords, and go back to a land of plenty, to which, if gra nted, you will hold a warranty deed and abstract The best security on earth is the earth itself, and land is the basis of all wealth. Owners of productive lands are benefiting by the increasing high cost of Uvi ng, while others are suffering from it. An Opportunity to Secure Rich Productive Land vVithout Capital You will not be required to leave your present surroundings now. All we ask of those to whom we grant tracts is that they plant, or arrange to have planted, a crop of one of the above-mentioned pro ducts within three years, after which we will have it operated( harvested and replanted) for grantees, in consideration of 25 per cent, of the net profits de rived from the sale of the crops, thereby allowing the grantee to pursue his or her present occupation until such time as they determine just what the yield of their acres amounts to. Consider what this may mean as a source of income, when statistics 3how that the yield of one acre of celery amounted to $1,268.45, and that one acre of well-cared-for , paper shell pecans, in full bearing, should net its owner as high as $500.00 per year. We are of the opinion that after it is proven, by actual results ob tained in operating the land that they will need no further urging, and waste no time in locating ia 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 di rectly on and adjoining the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad, about twenty-five miles west of Brunswick, a thriving city of fifteen, thousand, having direct steamship service to New York and Boston, and excellent railroad transportation facil ities to all points. The average temperature for six months of the year, from April to October, is 77 de grees; the climate is most healthful, delightful, and invigorating, and there is an ample rainfall of 51 -inches per year. Our Aim Is for Mutually Beneficial Results. As we are extremely desirous of having set tlers locate on this property, and assist in its de velopment, and thereby greatly increase the value of surrounding and intervening property, which we will hold, and to increase the traffic along the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Raihoad, and thus 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 aftpr the opening, but which will not be included in it We have "money-making afterward" considerations in this liberal-minded opening, similar to those of the 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 de signed to be the best equipped, most up-to-date, scientific, commercial farm and orchard . in ex istence. It will consist of six thousand acres, and will be included in this opening. All who register and receive trcts will get the benefit of the ex periments 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 those who registered in excess of the number of tracts to be granted, an interest in this , com mercial farm and orchard enteiprise, in the hope that they may later locate in one of our town sites. Examination of the land will cheerfully be per mitted, and the opening will be held at Brown town, 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. The presense of those registered will not ' be neces.arv at Browntown on the opening day, unless they wish to attend, for there is no favoritism shown anyone. It will be conducted by a commit tee selected for the purpose, and those registered will be notified of what they have been granted, as soon as possible. With the ever-increasing population of this country 'V.erp is no corresponding increase in the area of land, and naturally as the population in creases and seeks the land in pursuit of health, happinest and independence, it will continue to be harder to secure. The prosperous and contented class in Europe to-day aro the descendant? of those who secured land there when it was plentiful, while the descend ants of those who obtained no land are now the peasants end slaves. You muRt realize 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 us th application for registration attached to this announcement.
