DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN; COLUMBUS GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1886. Why It is That Columbus is a City of- Homes. How I ho lliiilillmt mul Limn ANwocistioiiH II.to llolpoil (ho City The Poor Mini Is Kimhloil (« | '• M anil (liiillfy Ills ArtMlo Insto- Hnlliliim up Homos tor tho I Columbus is the groatesl city in tho conn Ivy. Nothing contributes more to tins greatness than the large number of people who own their own homes. Among the terms anil expressions in common us<?there is none more eminently true and accu rately descriptive tlmn that contained in the words “Heal Estate," applied to lands and houses. There is a “real” in the sense of intrin- .sic money value in such possessions. Fashion and circumstances may increase the nominal price of real property or may depress it, but the tact remains that it is real and actual at what ever rate it is appraised. The occupier has a house over his head, and whatever the market value may he, its value as a home re mains the same. Your own house ** point ol resistance against •the chances of fickle fortune; still it should not be made by rivalry and ambition, a source of embarrassment rather than of strength. •So common is such miscalculation that it has given rise and currency to the homely pro\erb that “tools build houses and wise men buy them.” But fools do a great many other things the result of which is disastrous to themselves. And wise men undertake the same enterprises, and follow them out with advantage and profit. If a man has the superfluity of means above his actual daily needs which enables him to gratify his taste for the artistic and the ornamental, he is not a fool because he adorns his home in prefer ence to spending money for amusement in some other direction. The young people of (’olumhus •seem to WANT HOMES OF THEIR OWN, and a way has been provided for them t<> put the desire, into practical effect. Fora long series of years Columbus has sustained one or more build ing associations. The impetus to the growth of the city, and the disire to improve real estate against the marked increase of popula tion which will be here in a Jew months shows in no plainer way than the outcropping of these associations, for to-day •there are three fully organized series and an other one nearly ready to open for business. This is an unusually good showing and we shall fry to tell our readers something of these corpora tions. We have previously, in these columns, given the complete history of these beneficial as sociations, tracing them back to .Birmingham, England, in 1795, since 'which, under various names, they Lave existed both in England and America. In this country they are comprehensively and aptly •called building and loan associations. It is this name we know them under, in Columbus. TIIRV AR15 CO-OPKK ATIVK SOCIETIES, with the true esseuce of mutuality, and are de signed for the benefit of people of small means sind frugal habits, though they have proven in estimable hlessihgs to large salaried men who only save in this compulsory savings hank, which appeals somewhat to their pride and forces economy upon them. All the depositors are stockholders and equal sharers in the profits in proportion to the shares held by each. The •capital stock is divided into shares of $200 each, less the premium, payable $1 per share «ach month. Subscriptions for five shares |or its multiple are received. So that any one capa ble of saving $5 a mouth can become a member. A pass book in which •each monthly deposit or payment is entered, is given each shareholder, a certificate of stock •certifying to amount of shares subscribed for is posted in front of the book. This certificate is transferable as other stocks. There are no in itiation or membership fees, but there is a sys tem of small fines to force punctuality in pay ment of installments. The premiums adopted by the Columbus association are. First year, 16; second year. It; third year, 12; fourth year, 10; fifth year 38; sixth year, 36; seventh year, 36. These minimum premiums make the life of each -series of an association not longer than eighty- four months. If borrowers of money bid over these mininiums, then the association may wiud up sooner than eighty-four months. •Some of the associations have adopted the uni form minimum premium of forty, which is the •exact average of those given above. Each month on the day the installments are due the money thus received IS LOANED Tv) MEMBERS. If more than one member desires money then an auction is there held and no bid being received .at less than the minimum, it is let to the highest bidder, loans being so auctioned on each five .shares until the money on hand is loaned. If there are no borrowers then each five shares su)> scribed is ticketed and put in a hat and drawn for until the money on hand is loaned. Forties jso drawn are required to take the loan or to pay at least one month’s interest at one dollar per share, when borrowers still not appearing. it is again drawn for. Each share is entitled to an advance of $200, less the premium. Let us take for an example one ofthe associations in which there is a uniform minimum premium of forty per cent Then an owner often shares gets on ten shares x $200 $2000 Less premium ($40 on $100 is $80 on $200) $80 x $10 800 Money advanced to borrower $1200 After securing the advance, and tor which he is required to give a mortgage on real estate or hypothecate marketable stocks or bonds, he then pays in $1 per month thereafter, in addition to the regular installment, by way of interest for the loan. HU I* FORK A MEMBER •ofan association, when it has been in existence twenty-four months, desires a loan on ten shares as shown above, he gets $1200. He has paid in 24 months at $10 $ 210 lit- has to pay (81 21) 60 months at $20 1200 Amount paid for interest $210 This oil a loan of $1200, and pa’d hack on easy payments of $20 a month. If one does not bor row and the association runs the full 81 months lie pays in 8-1x10 $810 And takes out lOx ft20o 80» 120 ..... the increased valne of his stock. A non-borrower can sell his.*stock Reopen market, and the bor rower by repayment of installments still to tna- ’e. can withdraw tYom the association at any THfcAK Ilf THE Oil Y. There are at present in this city three associa- t.'.ns, viz : 'olumbus Mutual Lonn Association, birth- '••<>' July, 1886, series C, 1200 shares, 1). K. '< • Hiatus, treasurer. i hattahoochce Building and Loan Association ‘i s passed its 61st installment, 1617 shares, C. H. ( rimes, treasurer; money advanced to borrowers, •i21,200. Muscogee Mutual Loan Association, 43d in stallment paid, 2600 shares, J. s. Willcox, treas- ror, money advanced to borrowers, $135,000. In process of organization, series 2 of Chatta hoochee Building and Loan Association, with 1200 shares. It has been found for a city of this size 1500 to -"'*0 shares is large enough for a series, though j.uger ones reduce the pro rata of expenses ‘•■mic. Loss than 1500 shares is not advised as tl.i> pro rata of expenses must be larger, or the ol 1 leers must work for insufficient remuneration. There wore two series. A and B of toe "Columbus.” which have both matured. Neither of these run eighty-four months. Both were singularly successful. They paid out $312,- 600. As shown above, the Muscogee has put out $135,000, and the Chattahoochee $121,200. These three sums aggregate $568,200. A vast aggregate OF SMALL SAVINOS in a few years. If we take it as a fair sample of the workingman s home, and estimate$1500 as its cost and this is beyond the cost in Columbusi. this gives no less than 378 such houses as the fruits oftheseassociations. The cheap lands offered in the Rose Hill section, their accessibil ity to the street railroad the pure air and freedom from mosquitoesand dust, will with the ease of ob taining money through the building associations, fill that attracti vc suburb with many happy cot tages. We believe few people fully understand the economic workings of these beneficent insti tutions, and this tempted us to show the value they have been and are to Columbus. hi insitouo H VPPUM.NGs.

Thoughts Suggested by a Stroll Through the City. t Few Reason* Why We arc Glad that W e Live In Columbus—The Fellow Whose Sweetheart Is a Blonde -Help the Lit'le Orphans -The Small Boy unit Ills inventive Genius-Good Advice from the Knqtiirfr-Sun. There are great many things which make us g ud that wc live in (’olumbus. Our people are not ns rich ns the people of some other cities, but substantial merchants, manufacturers, banks, and all the incidentals to modern civilization and prosperity have selected ‘ 'olumbus as a base of operations. It is evident tbut this continual boom is not attributable to n:iy accidental or transient cause. Nowadays the sudden discovery ofthe richness ofthe earth, or t he advent of a railroad, often kuIMcjs to build up a considerable town in literally a tew weeks. ( iose observation will, however,demonstrate the tact tluu Lie rise of (’olumhus is as much due to compicuou- energy and enterprise on the part of her business men and to the general thrift and e.*prit do corps of Her citizens, as to the railroad and steamboat facilities which enable her to take t ill advantage of her position as a distributing p »int. And now Columbus aims to lead the cities of her state. Essentially y a . t ;< u . h more than half a century old, her people have no old institutions or recollections to cling to with the pride and veneration that often character izes the inhabitants of towns with keen“liistoric.»l associations, but no one can deny the Golum- busites. as a i ommunity. are pulling loyally to gether with an earnestness that augnres well for the future. The object of the writer is, however, rather to call attention to our financial condition, and the manner in which homes are obtained, in other columns of this issue. There is usually u very good crowd of talkers iu front ofthe Rankin house on Saturday night, and one finds much to interest if he will only listen. Last night one of these gentlemen incidently remarked that he had just read in a fashion paper where blondes were going out of fashion. 'This was too much for a listener, whose sweet heart is evidently a blonde, and he thusly gave vent to his feelings: “Every year we get the cry from fashion writers “blondes no longer in style; they have been sup erseded by their darker sister." etc. Now. that’s all bosh. You can’t do away with the blonde, and you can’t do away with frizzled banged hair. Pre-eminently the blonde is the beauty ol civilization. She is among us to stay as such, and yon can’t drive her awa\. A hiunette now and then may rise su preme over her by reason of wonderful loveliness, but 1 am speaking collectively. A woman can dress more effectively with blonde hair than with dark. It lights up better and is more youthful. A well-kept blond has ten years’ advantage in point of yout'.ful looks with the average brunette. Mind vou, once in a lifetime or so there arises a quired to produce toxic effects in persons accus tomed to its general use is a little less than five cups per day. Fourth--Chronic tea-poisoning is a common af fection. Its symptoms most commonly are, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, palpitation, headache, vomiting and nausea, and nervousness com bined with various forms of functional nerve af fections, such as neuralgia, hysteria, etc. Maybe you had best becarefui how you drink too much tea, agd particularly, ice ten. It is usually the ladies who drink tea. and now while we are cautioning them, let the little babies be not forgotten. Has it ever occurred to those who purchase coaches .for their babies, and who make it a point to Select the brightest colors they can find f r the screen that is interposed between the eyes of the child and the sun, that they are lia ble to do irreparable injury to the vision of the little one ? An infant generally lies on its back, its eyes, of course, upturned towards the bright co\ering above it, its gaze being the more intense the brighter the covering and the more direct the rays of the sun upon it N filling but injury can result from such thoughtless exposure. An experienced nurse says there cannot Ik* a doubt as to the injurious effects of tho*e bright so-culled shields upon the tender eyes of children. Parents who are wise will select the darker and denser shades, even though they may not be as handsome or showy in tlio : r eyes as some of those which are more ; ishionnhlc. \V« have .-oen babies out for an airing when we really pitied the little follows, who were unin tentionally being punished. it matters not what may be the color ofthe '•arriage, it will be a blessing to all pedestrians if they are sent by nurses who have better sense than to go marching along the Broad street side walk three abreast. This is a most unmitigated nuisance.

MrsoooKE County, July 10.—Truth is always good company, though dressed in a homespun suit, and especially so when we are hunting our way out of difficulties, and the difficulty wo farm ers are now trying to get out of, is the greatest one of all; and that is, a empty smoke house, a lean corn-crib and a slim purse.
