Hi, I hope someone on the list can help me out here! I am transcribing a newspaper I dug out of one of my boxes of newspapers that I inherited! It is a 1905 edition of The Enterprise Gazette of Coweta County, Ga. I am transcribing an article that is about the man (Col. P. H. Fitzgerald) who came south from Indianapolis and brought 10,000 northerners to settle Fitzgerald, Ga in Irwin County (yes, I know, it is in Ben Hill now).....the article is about another plan of Fitzgerald's to bring 10,000 more to settle another farming community in Georgia. It does not name an area, just that he will need approx. 50,000 acres. Does anybody have any idea of where this second community may have been located if it ever came to fruition? The name of his company as listed in this article is "Colony Company". I would appreciate any leads on this. Thanks, Linda Blum-Barton
