Tbe Sandersville Lyceum Association
has secured six attractions for this
season. The first was The Weeks
Company which appeared Oct. 21st,
The next is the Boston Ladies Quartette
which cornea Tuesday night, Dec. 8th.
This is one of the best of the series,
und all who are fond of excellent music
should attend this entertainment. Mr.
L. M. Mitchelll. president, and P. O.
Thomas, secretary and treasurer, have
taken great pride in bringing to
Sandersville the best attractions that
could be secured for the outlay and
they hope that the patronage will bo
sufficiently liberal to pay expenses.
The lyceum is not designed to make
money, but to secure for our people
the best attractions possible for the
money realized from the sale of tick
ets. All of the attractions are said to
be good and have a refining influence
over all who attend.
To those who predicted financial rain
to the state of Georgia when the pro*
hibition law was effected, it might be
well at this date to submit a few facts
to demonstrate just bow little "a man
can know of the thing he is talking
about,!* Here are some of the foots
giTen by the prominent real estate deal
ers, the moords At the oourt house and
the boohs of the oily building lnspeotor
of Atlanta.
"iris a notable foot,” said Edwin P.
Ansley, "that despite the nnnsual finan
cial depression at the first of the year,
and despite prohibition whioh resulted
in about 200 families moving away, the
aotivity in real estate bas been unpre
cedented, aqd prioes have been larger
"than ever before in the history of At
lanta. Especially has this been true of
central business property.” This from
Mr. Forest Adair. "It is not neoessary
for me to make any statement at all, all
I need to do is to give a few figures,
twenty sales made alone this year
through this firm have aggregated more
than $16,000,000, $10,120,180.00 to be ex
act, or more than $8,100.00 each. Thero
has never been such activity and snoh
prioes prevailing iu all Atlanta’s history.
Real estate is so aotive and proporty is
advancing so, that it is really hard for
a man to make a mistake in purchasing
Atlanta realty. Many big deals are
mentioned, among whioh it has just
becq annonnoed, that the Guarantee
Trait & Banking Company had pur-
chased the lot at the soath west oorner
of Peachtree and Wnlton streets, paying
$85,000.00 for it or $4,000. a front foot,
and so it has gone with hundreds of lots
reoently purchased. "The reoordsat the
court house show more property chang
ing hands at bigger prioes than ever be
fore. The building permits for the year
exceed those of any previous year.
These faots and figures from a financial
point of view and from oneoity in Geor
gia alone should encourage those who
have allowed their greed for gain to ob
scure the moral side of the question,
and to iguore for years the pleadings of
devoted mothers, wives and sis tors by
their ballots to drive the onrso from
their homeB and their state.
Suppose 200 families did move out of
Atlanta. If they wero whiskey people
what a happy ridilaucu. Let us hope and
pray for the day when the traffic and all
connected with it shall bo so far re
moved from us that our homes and loved
ones will not feel its blight.

sorrow of the removal from onr midst
of Prof. John Gibson. Therefore be it
resolved;
That the Methodist Sunday sohool of
this oity appreciates the Bervioes of Prof.
John Gibson as a tonchor of tho Bible
olass. We have watched his tearing as
a Christian gentleman, we prize his abil
ity as a teaoher, we have been ediifled
by his pointed talks on the lesson to the
sohool, bat above all his equipment as
teaoher and speaker. We appreciate his
intrinsic worth, his white life, his lofty
ambition, his ohristian manhood. We
regret his removal from onr midst and
we bespeak for otar brother and oo-la-
borer a cordial weloome in his new home
in onr sister state.
