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. A W. O. T. U. Mother.
