I'KKDUH, Ordinary. 8AL00NS DEPRECIATE REAL ESTATE The New York World recently said that one cause will greatly limit the saloon area and influence is the number of surburban “parks” and cottage groups being developed by private capital,where in the deeds of all property sold carry convenants against “nui sances” for from ten to fifty years. It added: In the eyes of the real estate man the saloon is the great est of nuisances. He may himself like an occasional drink, but he will not let it be sold on his own land. A million New Yorkers will soon be living on land where no saloon can be maintained. And propinquity powerfully affects habits. The swinging sign of the saloon suggests thirst; its absence means sobriety. The average man won’t travel far for a drink. In time the influence of “restricted” areas must be reflected in the choicer residence sections, which are not restricted. Hu rely as a business matter, future municipal managers will inquire why any saloon should be permitted in a residence section, where its inevi table effect is to depreciate prop erty all about it. The money de rived from the license, were it twice as much cannot compensate for the loss in taxable values. Is it good policy for a city thus to cheapen itself?

FROM THE SENOIA ENTERPRISE GAZETTE Misses McLeroy and Scott, the elocution and music teachers of Brantley Institute, are arranging a most interesting entertainment to be given on Friday evening, April 21. Rev. W. A. Davis will resign one of his former churches, having accepted charge of the Bethel church at Rocky Mount. This is a good church with a large mem bership and has a large field for a good pastor and we congratulate that church on their selection of a pastor. Justice court is getting to be too big a thing in Senoia ior a little old 12x24 court room and there is strong talk that in the near f uture we will have a court house. ()f course this court house will not be as nice as the one we have in New- nan, but it will be a court house all the same. Suppose the city council join in and make a nice lit tle appropriation for this purpose and stop the rent expense every year. Build a house the town will not be ashamed of. NOTICE TO HEIKH AT LAW.
