The Georgia Enterprise
Many Newton County People Going to South Georgia
  The following clipping from the Fitzgerald Enterprise will be of interest
to many Newton County people, as the article relates in full to men who 
have moved there from this county. We are glad to learn that Mr. W. H. 
Ellington of Gum Creek, is prospering in his new home. The article follows:
  "The Enterprise finds that it is impossible without a larger staff to keep
up with the new comers and investors. We learned by accident this morning
that three splendid and representative farmers, Mr. S. O. Cook, of Covington,
Mr. James Davis, of Mansfield, and Mr. Joseph Hollis, of Social Circle, have
all invested in farm property here this week."
  "Mr. Ellington tells us that when these gentlemen left middle Georgia some
of their friends jeered at them and expressed surprise at the indication
of such poor business judgement, and the gentlemen stated that they were 
coming to see those things about which they had read so much, with the
result above stated."
  "The Enterprise welcomes these new citizens, and while they find real estate
much higher than it was a few years ago, the prices have just started up and 
they will realize before they raise one year's crops that they have a large
profit. We have had great confidence in real estate values in Irwin county
for several years and we do not believe the prices are near the top yet."
