Northerners who spend their win
ten in the 8onth prefer, as a rale,
the quiet ease of the raral districts to
the rush and turmoil of city life, and
in the interests of these ever weloome
tourists, a large tract of land has been
secured near Tifton and will be laid
off in lots of two and a half and five
sores and placed on the market for
winter homes.
Two hundred and fifty acres of
land on the B.'A W. Ry. one mile
east of Tift’s mill is the tract selected
for this purpose. .
Mr. &£. Rankin and Mr. C. 0. S.
Baldridge, one of Tiftoo’a hustling
real estate men, are back of the
scheme and they propose to improve
the property and lay it off in lota, as
a suburban village of Tifton.
The streets will be eighty .feet
wide and put in perfect condition,
and from the village to Tifton will
bo a pleasant drive.
Mr. Baldridge stated to a repreaeu
tativo of the Gazette that only the
beat class of people are wanted in the
new village, and to auch reasonable
terms will bo allowed. A two and a
half aero lot will be sold for 1250
and the payments will be $25 oash
and $5,00 a month. The five acre
lota will bring $500, $50 oash and
$10 a month till paid ior. If the
purchaser will build an attractive
cottage at onoe, the first payment
will be remitted, and only the monthly
installments charged. A more at
tractive plan than that of this snbnrb
of Tifton oould hardly be devised.
With a pretty cottage home, in a
land where the climate is nnezoelled;
where the soil is fertile and easily
tilled; where sickness is almost un
known; where the people are hospit
able and ever ready to weloome the
worthy new comer; and where the
winter la never too oool, nor the
summer too warm, what more oould
one wish. •
Situated just one mile from Tifton
one of the most flourishing little cities
of South Georgia, whieb is known
eveiywbere as the Queen of the
Empire Gaiden, in a seotion where
there are few negroes, the new village
offers many attractions not possessed
by other places. The lota are large
enough to admit of gardens where
fresh vegetables and irnita can be
easily grown, and where market
gardening oonld be made to pay good
profits.
In a few days all arrangements will
be perfected, the wide streets put in
order and the remainder of the iota
sold.
This enterprise means much for
the oontinued growth of Tifton and
the aniTOunding country.
