is seen in ail parts of the city, bat no particular
kind of buildings have monopolixed the activity
unless It be the residences, some of which appear
as though they wished to scrape the sky. Sev

have been remodeled and enlarged. To particu
larise even a few of the splendid house* thatliava
been added iu such unexampled numbers to all
the streets and avenues of the city would unduly
tax the modicum of leisure to peruse the

of the year, they naturally rtae to tbe level of the
grand advance Just noted; for lot-solllug and
house-building in tbe normal state of communl-
ttes go hand In hand. And so It la that the
aeoorrt of land titles transferred In the past year
mount# np to totals so exhilarating to the bro
ker and so worthy of Columbus ns those of resi
dence building. The grand total of the year’s
soles of real estate within the city and suburbs
amounts to several hundred thousand dollars.
An analysis of this figure in its Integral parts of
the individual prioes realized gives equal ground
for congratulation over the past and reasauranoe
and confidence for the future. The ruling prices
in the Columbus land market throughout 1686-86
were at once conservative and unwaveringly
an stained. What else oould have been expected
but a strong and rising land market in a metrop
olis that was adding so many roofk and a corres
ponding multitude of new souls to her prosperous
and wide-awake population? And what else can
be expectod now bnt a continuation and aug
mentation of the same bouyant activity? This is
Columbus, and her fulfillment has never disap
pointed promise. Tills is Columbus, and yet,
throned mistress as she is and heiress of future
scepters unnumbered, she to-day bestows lands
within her borders at one-fburth the price of sim
ilarly situated property In many other cities less
progressive.

GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION.
The state of Georgia lies ln the south
eastern portion of the United States, and
in its original settlement its chartered lim
its extended from the Atlantic ocean to
the Mississippi river, with the 31st parallel
of north latitude as its northern boundary,
and the 31st parallel and Florida as its
boundary on the south. Early in the pres
ent century the two states of Mississippi
and Alabama, in a great part, were formed
out of it. The 32d parallel of north lati
tude passes nearly through the center of
the state. Savannah, the principal sea
port, is but 15° north of that line. Tbe

Gamewell eleotrio lire ®alarm. Last fall
Mr. Gamewell was appointed superintend
ent of the missions at Chung King, western
China, 1600 miles from Shanghai.
It seems that for some time the Chinese
ofChting King have been growing more
and more intolerant of foreigners, especial
ly Americans, because of the maltreatment
and murder of Chinese on our Pacific coast,
the account of the outrage* on the Chinese
reaching that distant port of China In
greatly exaggerated form. The mission
aries and other foreigners became the sub
jects of grossest insults early in June last,
and the walls of their houses were bespat
tered with mud. The missionaries were
called ‘‘foreign devils”and “foreign dogs.”
Mr. Gamewell writes thi* to his parents
under date of June 12. He then says: “Sun

gentleman who can be relied upon ln every re

any business man should appreciate. He was
born and reared iu Columbus, and is an honored
son of a worthy sire. It is one of the most gratl-

One of the Leading Hen who Hike Our Beal
Estate Business.
John Blackmar has too long been identified
with the best lifo of the real estate market of Co
lumbus to Justify personal or professional enconi-
ums. He has been thoroughly established since
1870 and takes rank with any iu the city in point
oi popularity and patronage. Besides his own
personal investments he represents other large
interests, and to one and all of his customers he
devotes the same impartial care and attention,
not forgetting either the cause of the tenant*
whicV, after all, is that of the landlord. Non
residents find in him a prompt representative,
as alive to their interests as to his own,
and every patron is found a referee and staunch
stand-by. Ilis record as a real estate agent is
his best reference and it is exceedingly question
able if any one lias lost so small an amount out
of such a large one entrusted to His care. In
house-renting or in the sales or purchases of lots,
•’“‘Mr Btacknar’s facilities are such as to make his
services desirable. While lie looks after the
interest of his customers in a maimer thnt bor
ders on to the exacting, he has never exacted
Tbs natural Ueaulti of Ability, Energy and In
tegrity in Husihvhh.
Mr. J. C. Reedy dues exclusively a real estate
business Though he has been in the business
but u low years, may be classed as one of the j
leading real estate agents of Columbus. The
very fine business he has built up is the reBUlt of
the ability, onergy anti integrity that has been
displayed In the management of the many inter
ests intrusted to him. From what might be
Justly called an obscure dealer he has pushed his
business steadily forward until he to-day is one
of the promiuent factors iu his line. He, with
his busy assistant, Mr. Wood, with their pleasant
wayB and prompt attention, make it a pleasure
to do busiuesa with this establishment. The
office is permanently located between Broad
street and the poet office.
Mr. Reedy transacts a general real ostate busi
ness in all its branches, and whatever ho has to
do he alms to at least equal any competitor. Uis
motto is the best service possible for his patrons,
and he aims to retain his customers by making
hluiBelf so valuable to them that there can be no
inducement for a change. He has lu charge
many large estates and his business in all depart
ments is so perfectly systcmUcd that from the
smallest item of repair up all cun be accounted
for and shown iu a moment.
Mr. lteedy makes a specialty of suburban and
plantation property, both as to the sale, purchase
and rant. There is prebaby no agent anywhere
in the country who has, in a given time, hod bo
much landed property entrusted to his care.
Not counting the large property of
which he ha* control ln the city,
In Real 1 wood, in Llnwood, Wynnton, Mechanice-
vllle, Brownville and Girard, he has valuable
plantation and city property ln Muscogee county,
in Harris county, ln Chattahoochee county and
other sections of this state. His transactions in
Alabama are extensive. He has valuable farm
lauds lu Rnseell county, In Lee and other Ala
bama counties, information about which he will
take much pleasure In giving.
It is very properly claimed by Mr. Reedy that
he can make it decldodty to the Interest of those
desiring to dispose of real estate to place it in his
hands. He knows who the buyers are, because
he makes it a point to keep posted. Hence when
property is put in his hands he knows at once
what to do with it.

of labor can be performed in the usual
vocations, within the same period of time,
than in Georgia.
t- FACE OF THE OOUNTRY.
There are tbrea nominal divisions—
lower, upper and middle Georgia—which
correspond with the three great natural
divisions—the low country, the hill coun
try and the mountain region.
Lower Georgia lies below the line cross
ing the heads of navigation of tho rivers,
a portion of which flow into the Atlantic
ocean, and a portion into the Gulf of Mex
ico. It is the largest of the three divis
ions, comprising about 35,000 square miles.
It lies for the most part below the level of
300 feet above the sea, the average eleva
tion being about 250 feet.
Middle Georgia lies between the heads
of navigation and the elevation of 1000 or
1100 feet, the average being 750 feet. It
has an area of 15,000 square miles.
Upper Georgia constitutes the northern
portion of the state and embraces all the
mountains of any note and much hill
country. It has an area of about 10,000
square miles. The eastern half has an av
erage elevation of about 1500 feet, whilst
there are mountain chains that rise to the
height of 3000 feet and peaks to 4800 feet.
The western half is muoh lower, the gen
eral elevation being only 760 feet, with
mountains up to 2000 feet. The average
elevation of the surface of the state is 650
feet above the sea.
THB CLIMATE.
The Btate being in the southern portion
of the union, lying between parallels of
latitude 90 deg., 89 min., 27 sec. (average)
and 35 deg., the climate is mild and de
lightful in winter. There is no snow ln
niore than halt of the state for yean to
gether, and all the ioe used is eithsr man
ufactured or imported, and field work may
be kept up at all periods of the year. While
the winters are pleasant and genial, no
finer summer climate Is to be found on the
continent east of the Mississippi river than
that of many parts of Georgia. The mean
annual temperature south of a line drawn
across the Btate from Augusta to Columbus
is between 64° and 68°; between the same
line and another running parallel to it, and
running twenty miles south of Atlanta, we
have a mean temperature the year ronnd
Mr. W. S. Green is one of the energetic real

mittar.ee to a p.'uee when gentlemen are
absent. This is a carefully observed form
of Chinese etiquette and quieted them for
a while; hut they grew noisy again, and in
time she retreated iuto the yard and had
tho gate closed. The crowd, 200 in num
ber, finally broke the gate down and
started to rush in. Mary took my gun,
which happened to be in a cose under the
bed, and for which she had no ammuni
tion, anu started out toward the crowd,
thinking to frighten them and keep them
back for a time, it being nearly time lor
me to return. A Chinese mob is very
cowardly, and this one ran at the first
sight of the gun, but they oonoluded that
it was not loaded, and tried to wrest it
from one of the coolest and most courage
ous women that ever walked the face of
the earth—and of course sueoeeded. The
gun was torn from her and she was pain
fully, though not seriously hurt. In
trying to get the gun they pounded her
hands and armB, and the orowd pelted her
with sticks and stones. Her hands were
badly bruised and cut deeply on tho in
side. The left side of her race was badly
bruised with a stone and her dress was
covered with mud. As soon as the crowd
saw the blood on her face and hands they
were frightened—for in China to draw
blood is punishable with decapitation—so
they rushed from the place, carrying the
gun with them. The gun was returned by
an official the day after. We are all con
vinced that nothing but Mary’s nerve
saved the premises from being looted.”
But the account given by Mr. Gamewell
is only a prelude to the work of destruc
tion which was soon to follow. To-day
Mrs. Dr. Porter received a letter from her
daughter Mary. It is dated “Methodist
Episcopal Mission Hospital, Chung King,
China, July 7, 1886,” and opens in this
way:
“My Precious Mother: This heading is
only a reminder of plans that are spoiled
and hopes that are delayed. All onr prop
erty has been destroyed, and we nave
taken refuge with the officials. No for
eigner has been killed, but everything we
possess has been taken from ns ana oar
lives endangered. The British resident,
Mr. Bowen, the Chinese Island Mission
aries (English), American Bible Society
colporteur, the Catholics and ourselves
have suffered—the Catholic cathedral
looted and burned to the gronnd, A rich
Catholic armed 200 or 300 men, fought for
his place and killed thirty or more of the
mob. I am afraid telegrams may have,
reached you and filled you with alarm, but
thus also must we trust In Him who has
cared for us through all these days of dan
ger and destruction.”
The letter then gives an aocount of the
destruction of all the mission houses—all
denominations sharing the same fate. The
officials did all they could to save the lives
of the missionaries and other foreigners,
and succeeded, but winked at the destruc
tion of houses and property. All Mr. and
Mrs. Gamewell saved was $150 in cash and
a watch that they had in their clothing.
The garments they had on were all they
were permitted to take away.
“Where is your daughter now?” asked
the reporter, as he concluded the reading
of the letter.
“Nearing San Francisco, I believe, in a
steamship—she will arrive in a few days
now."

E. 0. Wilkins.
Colonel F. G. Wilkins is another of the real

man in the city who will more faithfolly and
honestly discharge his duty to his patrons. He
transacts real estate business in all its details,
mains that compose them. The home of

pers. Believing that no firm can do a legitimate business in buying and selling both, we have no
street buyers. It will cost the farmer no more to sell cotton at our Warehouse than upon the
streets. We give special attention to weights, and there is no delay in the wagon trade. Having
doubled the receipts at our Warehouse is an evidence that our methods are popular with the people*
