Doubting Thomases Who Said There
Would Be f o Town
On Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week one of the largest sales
took place at the new town of
Chatsworth that has ever been
p died off in North Georgia, and
w is a decided success from every
point of i i nv.
Owing to the fact that the com
pany bad been delayed, from
sickness and other causes, the
opening sale had only been
vertised four days, but quite a
number of people from other
towns (people property) who had money to
invest. in city heard of
the new town in time to get here
and they invested quite liberally,
The company thought they
would sell only about a bundle 1
lots, enough only to supply the
present demand and to men who
wanted to begin the erection
their business heu es before
had weather set in, but when the
crowd gathered and saw the loca
tion and the inducements offered
them, they bought, instead of the
hundred lots, two hundred and
nineteen, bringing the company
hundred and fifty dol
lari. There were twelve choice

the purchasers erect
brick buildings on them and they
' begin ver . e '*}} the 801,1 erection me" of the who will
ings as soon as they can get tlie
material there to begin the work.
Tins is considered hy men
great , k ” m T f! big ,oot start, and 1 there tl > is no
doubt but by the time the sale
proper comes oil’ in the
<w }} e " everybody and his dog
will be there with a Dig
011 Hie side) the people will
he g reeted »<>t only-by one of the
most beautiful townsites in North
Georgia but, by some handsome
structures and plenty of
residences.
The company lias gone to an
enormous expense to ppt the plan
in proper shape for a town,
and, while they will have to sell
many more lots in order to get
back the money they have spent,
they consider that they have done
well on their first sale.

If you are looking for a loca¬

your children, Fairmount, Ga.',
is the place. I will be ready to
sell residence and business lots
in said town by January the first,

with an eye to utility and beau¬
ty. There are splendid natural
advantages. I am going to put
forth every effort and money to
make Fairmount the best busi¬
ness and educational point on
the new railroad. Parties wish¬
ing to start, manufacturing enter¬
prises, stores or to build a house,
will find it to their interest to
consult me before buying else¬
where. A number of lots will
be sold at an auction March loth
1906. If further information is
desired write to me at Calhoun,
Ga., in care of The Calhoun Na¬
