TO THOSE SEEKING THE VERY BEST FORM OF INVESTMENT:
That Improved Centfal Business property in a growing city is the very best
form of investment, both as to security and profits, is werll known. In addition
to increases in rentals the constant advances in ground values make this the best
paying of all investments.
Following are instances of actual rental advances, which show how the
Business Property Owner's income increases. The figures speak for themselves:

THE REFORMER.
A NY attempt to claaaify bore*, or de

one insuperable obstacle, and that ia,
that at the moment or attack each
bore seems the most feroeloue on earth. When
we behold a bore bearing down upon ut it
look* aa big as an alephant, and as blood
thirsty and pltilesa as • man-eating lion,
•nd. as, aftar tha onslaught, the victim,
when asked to describe hie sensations, esn
seldom do mort than just feebly moan and
groan, it is almost Impossible to Institute any
real comparison between the various species.
It Is universally admitted, however, that
chief among th* Soul Wearier* is the Re
former, who has a horrible and peculiar char
acteristic—it can not endure to see people
nappy end comfortable. For some unknown
reason, the snectsrl* of a group of cheerful
individuate, disporting themselves In a play
ful manner, or eajoylng their food and drink,
produces a specie* of rabies in this unpleas
ant creature. It foeme at the mouth, utters
snirll shrieks of rage, as it rushes upon them,
»nd seeks by every means in its power to an
nihilate them add spoil their pleasure.
Moat people are so afraid of .getting Into
the clutches of a Reformer that they fly at
»i«ht, but occasionally one. bolder then the
rest, attempts to argue with It, and explnine
it that his little diversions were perfectly
innocent and harmless. But It Is quite in
rain. The Reformer Is not amenable to
re *»nn. To every argument it bellows out:
I do not enjoy doing that particular thing,
therefore, it must be STOPPED," and with
head down it charges upon Ita hapless prey.
An idea of the power of the Reformer, and
the dread in which It Is universally held.

"No. ssh. we haven't rot any whisky."
"Than bring tue a bottle of beer."
"We haven t any beer, either, nothin' i

Woe to the thirsty man who attempts to
get a drink in a dining car on the Southern
railroad after Decmber 81. for disappoint
ment will be hie portion. On and after Janu
are 1, 1909, the sale of liquor In the dining,
cars of the Houthern will be discontinued
over the whole system.
Beceuse of the fact that so much of the
territory thru which the road run* has de
clared for prohibition, the Southern railway
has gone a atep further and decided that no
liquor ihall be sold on any of their dining
cars after the new year has been ushered In.
After being out under a tent for four
months, the congregation of the First Congre
gational church, colored, will go up to their
completed, and services for the present will
be held in the baaement, which is large and
commodious, heated with steam and lighted
with electricity.
When completed this will be one of th*
handsomest church buildings in Atlanta. In
their effort* to erect this structure, the col
ored Congregationaliste are being generously
assisted by their white friends.
Beginning with the new year some notable
events are to occur In this church. Emanci
pation exercises are to occur there January
1, and an effort ia being made to aeeure
President-eleet Taft to spefck in this audi
torium to the colored people when he visits
Atlanta in January. The main auditorium
will be opened with special services Christ
mas day.
ite habitat Is Massachusetts, where it is so
common that It Is impossible to shake a tree
or bush without dislodging a Reformer. The
West, however, has produced some very fine
and lively specimens.
The Reformer is always of th* female tax,
tho occasionally it wears a beard and trous
ers. These latter are somewhat formidable
to look upon, but they are not nearly
dangerous aa the pettlcoated variety. Thi
are also more easily ga ‘
generally confine themseh
...^ , t | ( o(| ,
escape them.
This is' not the case with the ordinary Fe
male Reformer, which singles out some one,
often a member of ita own family (for tM*
unnatural creature has no bowel* of compas
sion or affection, only an unpleasant arrange
ment it calls a conscience), end takes a spe
cial delight in preying on ita nearast and
dearest. Of course, now and then a victim
escapes, and there are thrilling taleft told in
he divorce court of husbands who have fled
r iricht from wires who were Reformer*, and
children who have run off to sea to
away from Reformer mothers, but for —
most part before th* unfortunates realised
their danger they had been bored to death
by a Reformer, and nothing hut the bleach*
‘ g bones wee left to bear witness to their
ifferinge. Often an entire family Is
formed' 7 Into the cemetery.
A* a rule, all Reformers look much alike,
Their chief distinguishing mark la their
noses, which are of abnormal power, and
able to scent wrong in thing* that look per
fectly Innoeent and innocuous. For instance,
they even achieve the feat of smelling im
mortality In th* wax dummies In store win
dows, and a man who is married to a Re
former avers that she can scent one little
•-eny weeny highball under a bushel of
ovee.
They possess an inordinate amount of curl
ity and a desire to see fl-ft things. A great
any of the immoral resorts would hav* to

tea If they are as had as they have heard
ey ere. Tne Reformers also run the sales

hich is the most deadly Imre has not yet
i*n decided. Probably the most common
the Social Reformer, which can not be
-ther described here, owing to its language
inf auch that it puta all common sinners

The nest variety |« the Hydrophobia Re-
mer, who has fits whenever it sees any-

thing bat water and strong tea itself, It la
reedy to tear to pieces any on# It eeee par

Th* third variety—and It * most venomous

variety, for It lives upon vegetables itself,
end it rages and raves and tears at th* very
sight of a tenderloin steak or an English
mutton chop. The Health Reformer haa
slain irs thousands with food fads, and ef
fectually destroyed tha digestion of many
more who never get to eat anything In peace
“ they happen to have to live in ita vicinity.
Th* fourth variety of this dangerous beast
the Household Reformer, who attacks
bole families at a time, tears the babe out
„f Ita mother's arms, and the wife from her
husband, and even devours the servant aud
th* grocer, and th* butcher end the ice man.
Thie malignant ere star* the while emits purr
ing sounds, saying, "I am doing this for
your good. Raise your children as I say.
Don't give In to your husband. Boas your
servants the way I tell you to." These
phrases have In some cases a hypnotic effect,
end the family never know what is happen

been eaten alive and the household broken

ventilation of offices, shops, public
buildings and private houses, and oth

avoidance of overcrowding, th» aboli

it of Indiscriminate kissing. The last
should not be a hardship," Sir John
added. "If we accept the schoolboy’s
definition of a kiss: 'It Is Just putting
your mouth to a person's cheek and
drawing In your breath so as to make
a little noise, which Is not bad, but It
does nothing In the way of helping
you to love the person.'"
