The Red Old Hills of Georgia (1913)
Fred Bonsell, a young mining engineer, is sent to Georgia to investigate some mineral property. In a little backwoods settlement he meets Pinkie Floyd and her brother, Bub, who have had very few advantages and readily accept the magazines which Bonsell offers them. The stories and the pictures of the life which they have never seen make them want to improve their condition. Their father won't hear of any improvement and tears one of the magazines to pieces. Yet after much coaxing on Pinkie's part, the father consents to a plan to make some money by raising chickens. The building of the chicken yard is the starting point of a general improvement of the little farm. Fred Bonsell returns to the city with a very warm spot in his heart for the girl and sends books which Pinkie and Bud read from cover to cover. Two years later, Bonsell finds that a remarkable transformation has taken place on the Floyd farm. Neatly painted fences and other improvements have taken the place of the old disorder. Pinkie takes him to see the big chicken yards, but Bonsell spends most of his time looking at Pinkie, who has become a beautiful woman. Bonsell discovers that a hill which was left to Pinkie by her mother has very valuable mineral deposits and informs the girl of her good luck. He informs her at the same time that he loves her.
