RETURN FROM THE SOUTHLAND

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sage Got Back to God’s Country Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sage and son returned Saturday night from spending the winter In the south. They drove through in their car last fall to St. Petersburg, Fla., where they spent the winter proper, and drove back to Thomasville, Ga., about six weeks ago, 400 miles, and there Mr. Sage purchased at Pine Park, near Thomasville, three carloads, 42,000 feet, of yellow pine lumber, trading his car in on the deal. He expects to build some cribs on his land east of Pleasant Ridge which he pur* chased of John J. Lawler, with a part of this lumber, which he had planed and superintended the sorting and loading of before leaving there. —/ Mr. Sage states that It has been cold and wet in Georgia and the season is at least a month later than usual now. The cotton crop promises to be short because of this, many of those who had planted having had to plow up same. The peach blossoms are still hanging on the trees, when they should have been gone a month or more ago. They enjoyed their stay very much In Florida, however.
