During the post ycai the hammer and the trowel kave been kept busy, and the history of the city shows great actirity and results In the building -line. Those results exhibit with a force that aothlng else can the unexampled derelopment afa community w hose past, however wonderful, la only the prelude to new surprises. THE PBOCHSHIOE OP KKW BTflL'tfTCRM 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 ern] stores have been bollt and many old ones 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 Ksqoingn-Strif, and would be superfluous, as it is xeoorded from day to day and weak to week on the pages of the aforesaid newspaper which la recognized authority on all news of real estate and architecture. To turn now briefly to THB USiL HHTATJ1 TUAKSA(7110*8 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.

They represent the New York Underwriters and the Lion of London, two of the best and most responsible fire insurance companies in the ‘‘the lion and the iamb shall He down to gether, and little children shall lead them.” Georgia is eminently and in al most every respect a variety state, but we shall tret speak of the 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 entire state Gamewell, son of the inventor of the 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 day, June 6, I preached in the city, leaving Mary in charge of the house. Shortly after 1 left she heard a noise—that of a large crowd which had gathered.

Those who deal with him will find a gentleman who can be relied upon ln every re aped, and this has given him a popularity that 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- friug feature* among tile young busiuoas men of Columbus, that they bo worthily represent tho Ihthers who have passed away, and who laid the foundation stones of what 1b destined to booome one of the greatest cities iu all this southern country, lu his in aura poo department Mr, Chappell la os prominent and as popular as in his real estate transactions.

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. W. 8.

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.

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." , ~ ' " ' * , uivwnsi" »■« »ui U L S U1D «iu , “Then they journeyed post office on Twelfth street, nud any business as vai .; ous ns ti le vegetable and animal re- Shanghai iu safety?” “Then they journeyed the 1600 miles to entrusted to him will receive prompt attention. E. 0. Wilkins. Colonel F. G. Wilkins is another of the real estato dealers of Columbus, and there is not a man in the city who will more faithfolly and honestly discharge his duty to his patrons.
