REAL ESTATE IN WINDER AND
BARROW COUNTY VERY ACTIVE
Last Tuesday was the r< gular sale
d;iy in Barrow county and the great
crowd around the court house on tha
dote was evidence of the fact that
the people are interested in Harrow
county property and the signs of old
time prosperity were reflected in
the%pirittd bidding. A large tract
of aibout svetn hundred acres belong
ing to the estate of the late G. L.
Bagwell was subdivided and sold for
good ’prices to the people of that
section of the county, part of it be
ing bought by J. L. Harris, one of
Winder's leading citizens.
The lands of tbe estate of J. A.
•Segars, deceased, were sold by the
receivers of that esb&te and brought
an average of fifty-four dollars an
acre. Considering that the lands are
at)out three miles out from town and
are in a high state of cultivation,
these prices are very reasonable.
These lands w ere bought in by M. J.
GYiffeth, Dr. W. H. Bush, Preston W
liaius and John H. Maynard, all lo
cal parties, and the store house on
Broad street was purchased by Stew
art Mufclhannon for nearly three
t ousand dollar*.
Lands belonging to Winder Lumbei
Cos. were sold by the trustee in bank
ruptcy, C. O. Nlblack, for a total of
about six thousand dollars and other
lauds of this concern were sold for
over six thousand dollars. These
properties wore all bought by local ii
terests.
The sales of real estate totalled
about sixty thousand dollars and as
much more could have been sold to
the bidders who were anxious to
buy.
Prosperity is with us again and
we are building a city here, and we
welec me all good people to conn
and oast their lots with us and help
us build the city.

We have often been asked: “How can you
carry such a large and varied stock in a city
the size of Winder?” Our answer is: We not
only do an enormous business in Winder and
Barrow county, but also enjoy a large patron
age in the surrounding counties of Gwinnett,
Walton and Jackson. When you give people
superior quality, style, comfort and service for
their money, they don’t keep the fact to them
selves. Very attractive things with good prices
being offered in every department at this store
