M. Strahan. will be the reason for a conference scheduled lor Athens Jan uary 9 and 10.

Other lease holders expect to sell for handsome returns. 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 ties.
