FITZGERALD. GEORGIA.

THE AMERICAN TKIBCNK'8 80LDIER8' .• 'COLONY.

An Interesting Letter From an Old Hancock County Boy—Curtis At Wise. EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

Of all the cities of the South that are being watched with Northern, eyes, Fitzgerald, Ga leads the list. In looking about for a spot on which to build one of the cities of the future, from which the railroad was to draw its sustenance and trade the colony offi settled on a spot in the northern part of Irwin county, Georgia, ahour 125 miles from the Atlantic coast and 100 miles from the boundary of Florida

For miles around it was an unbroken pine forest—no mills, no stores, only a stray f*rm now and thon of a few acres. The uncultivated state was, howev.r, .ioon to pass away and the embryonic city to spring up us if b.y nugic. It is one of the most perfect sites for a ciiy that could be found anywhere. It is Inid out in a square of 1% miles or 5 miles anm The two priucip-l streets are 120 feet wide, the others 60 (t-et. Fourteen blocks are laid out fwr business sites, the balance is for residf nee purposes. The business lots have a frontage of 24 feei. by a. dep of 170 reef. The res dence lots are 40x170 fe t. I'he city plat covers 1,000 acres of gioiind, una a four or five mile drive aronud the citv The city is purrou-ided by five—m'e tracts they hping surround ed by tin-acre tracts, and ey in tarn by twenty acre tracts

Buildings are being put up as rapidly as possible. At present :he ten mills can not saw the lumber as fast, as it is needed. Piau3 Mud specifiaUons are being drawn for Of*,000 hotel, ard a new bank bniidiug is s«on to b« eivc?ed.

At present there is no c.ty government, nor c.-in there be jny till m- si of the voters have been here a 7,ear. The town is g- vei ned by tlie InWo that apply to all unincorporated towns W th population o' 7.000 inhabitants, each Stnle in the Uniou being represented except two, no more peaceaole lot of people were ever brought together, as there has not been ni an- st made since the colony openei last November.

The healtu of Irwin county is superb. Fv-ver ind chills »re practically unknown, an malaria, usually the bane of new settlers, has not been hetrd of.

The soil is light saudy loam, open for cultivation the year round. The water from the wells is generally good, but like all surface water, it has its fauits, but there are several wells 130 feet deep and the water from the.n is perfectly healthful.

It seems strange to one who is accustomed t.) sleigh-riding in thtt winter time to come here and see the natives barefooted in February.

The peach trees are in full bloom, and the peas, lettuce and onions will soon do to use the potato vines are up about five or six inches high, and the oats are more than a foot high.

As to the climate the following clipping will describe: ''It is no warmer herein the summer than in the Middle States, and the heat is always tempered by steady cooling breezes. The autumn is indescribable in its Indian summer—like atmosphere, soft moon-light nights, and general salubriousness, and the winters are simply cool enough to make us remark occasionally, as we don our overcoats or wraps at night for a walk outside, that "it is a little cool tonight." We have no sudden changes of temperature, and are not so far south tuat perpetual eneivating summer reigns, but have enough of inspiring, invigoiating coolness to make effort a pleasure, not a strain.
