Air. Goldstein says: • "I suffered from
rheumatism live years, it kept me from
business and caused excruciating pain.
My knees would become as stiff as

relief, then took Hood's Sarsaparilla,

Engineer Strahan Invites the
County Commissioners and
Georgia Road Workers.
Real estate transactions and build
ing. operations ior 1911 were of ex
ceedingly, large volume, some of them
Involving historic properties and the
new structures erected rank with the
most modern in Dixie: Exact figures
are not at hand to be quoted as to
what enormous volume of money was
turned over and scheduled for invest
ment in Atlanta in these two items,
but an astute real estate man says
The work of the good roads depart
ment of the University of Georgia, a
recent adjunct to th«* engineering de
partment and under the direction of C.
M. Strahan. will be the reason for a
conference scheduled lor Athens Jan
uary 9 and 10. Mr. Strahan. who was
In Atlanta Wednesday In the Interest
of the good roads conference, In speak ]
ing of the work of the university’^
newest department said:
"The University of Georgia Ik the!
.first, or among the first, to organize
Its civil engineering activities along
the dual lines of training well equipped
road engineers and civil engineers In
Its regular and special coureses and
,at the same time placing Its facilities,
advice and experience without charge
at the service of tin* counties engaged
In active road construction.
“The management feels that It Is
blazing out a new education'll and
college extension trail as applied to ,
the road problem, and has called the |
road conference that la to meet in -
Athens on January 9 and 10 next in '
the desire that this conference shall
bring together the best counsels of '
all friends of good roads as guidance ,
to the university's efforts. 1
“While the good roads department
primarily deals In its extension work i
with such county officials as may de- J
sire Information and assistance, the ,
present conference not only welcomes t
but urges the attendance of repre- i
aentatlves from municipalities -Inter- t
eeted, from all .state or local road or- *
ganlz&tions and touring clubs and such *
citizens as may feel an Interest In the t
that $20,000,000 will hot bo far from the
mark.
Big buildings and extraordinarily
largo real estate deals are so firmly
fixed In the minds of those Interested
In the year’s progress as hot to need

The most striking feature of realty
activity In Atlanta during 1911 appears
to have been in the leasing of central

Several Atlantans made small fortunes
In lease deals In 1911.
Thousands of new residences have
been built, and traders havfe sought
suburban property for subdivisions so
assiduously that they have been .forced
to gd aa far as five and ten miles from
the heart of the city to secure favor
able sites accessible to streot car facili

Many hundred acres of choice sub
urban tracts are now held by various
traders who clearly foresee Atlanta's
wonderful possibilities. Some of these
tracts will bo exploited in 1912.

“In view of the short time before
the meeting, and the crowded condi
tion of the malls during the holiday
Season, It Is going to he well nigh
Impossible to reach by direct Invita-
tons and program many people who
would be Interested In the conference.
“On this account I am asking the
press to give wide publicity to the de
tails tif the occasion, and urge that
all friends of good roads, official and
non-offlclal, will regard the press in-
-nouncement of the conference as a
personal Invitation to bo present and

will be a visit and discussion at the
road material laboratory based on a
collection of sixty samples of road sur
facing materials from thirty counties

recent Round-the-stato tour. The
delegates will find this feature a most
Instructive and Interesting part of the

TRADE WEEK AND AUTO SHOW
TO BE JOINT CELEBRATION
Representatives of the Atlanta Auto
mobile nnd Accessory association will
appear at the nnnunl meeting Thursday,
night in the Kimball house of tha At-,
lanta Merchants and Manufacturer^ as
sociation to Invite that body tb hold'Its
"Merchants Week” during the dates of
the Atlanta automobile show, February
10 to 17, when farming Imprests are Idle
and business Is In transition between
the holiday and spring trade seasons,
and when, therefore, al] will have the
time and opportunity to*come to At

Members of both associations believe
thut the two big events will mutuully
profit by this co-ordination of their In

will emphasize tho attractions of the
other, and that a 'much larger number
of visitors will be brought to Atlanta
upon this point Thursday morning with
a view to definitely outlining the Invi
tation which their association will lay
before the merchants' and manufactur
ers' organization.
The campaign of publicity that Is to
spread the news of the Atlanta auto
mobile show before hundreds of thou
sands of magazine and newspaper
readers, has already gotten under way.
