A chicken in your cfoop is worth a dozen chickens in someone else’s coop! If you are a young man and have never bought a lot, why not try it and see how good it will make you feel when you get your deed recorded and laid away ? If you have already bought one or two lots you know what a nice feeling it gave you; so buy another and feel good all over again. - Now, it is all right to have good intentions, but there is a down grade “chute de chute” road, paved as slick as isin glass with good intentions, which leads in the opposite di rection from all that goes to the “making of a good man” and a good citizen. Do not fritter your money away on trifles which afford merely a passing pleasure; you owe, it to your country, and to your posterity (if you have any, and if you have not, there is another debt against you on the wrong side of the ledger.) To become independent. There is no investment so safe and so apt to draw you in the right way of saving as a lot, in or near Atlanta; the greatest City, in the greatest County, in the greatest State, in the greatest Country on the face of the earth. This leads us to the point! You want to know where you can buy a lot, well located, good titles, worth the money and one that will increase in value as the days go’ by; one that will bring you a reward for your industry and frugal ity. Here it is. We have selected a piece of ground located between Atlanta and Decatur, in the City of Edgewood, close to Kirkwood, and two car lines; close to factories, schools, churches and everything .that goes to make a community desirable. This subdivision consists of 51 lots fronting DeKalb Avenue, McLendon Avenue, Nelms Street and Arizona Avenue ;onlv fifteen minutes’ ride from the center of the city going out Edgewood Avenue and through Inman Park; cars every ten minutes. TERMS: $25 Cash, and $5 per Month at only 6 per cent. Interest; payable on or before maturity. These lots are large and a great many of them have nice shade; and on any of them you would be safe to build a nice cottage for rent or for a home. Dozens of new houses are going up all around. Call by the office of S. B. Turman & Company and get plat and go out and inspect the property before the day of sale. $100 IN GOLD WILL BE GIVEN AWAY ON THE PREMISES AT THE CLOSE OF THE SALE! You may be the lucky person; it will cost you nothing, and you will enjoy the trip next Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock. It is a well known fact that the Auction Sales conducted by this firm have been remarkably successful; their success being due largely to tneir experience and ability in selecting property for which there is a good demand hence the pur chasers are able to make good profits. typhoid fever.
