CONIES TO FOUNT
Westland Estates. Mew Subdi
vision, Proves Magnet to
Draw Homeseekers.
Within the last year the West End
Beetion of Atlanta has, in common with
every’ othe.r section of the city, been
looking up from every viewpoint. Nu
merous small tracts outside of the city
limits have been developed by building
sidewalks and making streets and have
found a ready sale.
A community is springing up at the
Intersection of Peyton and Gordon
roads. Captain J. M. Wright, who owns
property on the north side of Gordon
road and west of Peyton road, is erect
ing a stone store building, now nearly
completed. has already. built one bun
galow. and is constructing another.
Close by is Westhaven school, one of
the new buildings which combines both
perfect sanitation and attractive archi
tecture.
Across Peyton road from the school
house .is Westhaven spring. As an evi
dence of the value of property in this
neighborhood, J. J. West, owner of the
spring and twenty acres of the sur
rounding property, holds this at $50,000.
Westland Estates.
By far the largest development plan
and subdivision ie the Nash property,
owned by Southland Estates Corpo
ration, containing 250 acres, with en
trances on both Peyton and Gordon
roads. With the improvements con
templated by Southland Estates Corpo
ration, this property, which has been
named Westland Estates, will become
one of the most attractive sections of
Atlanta subdivided.
Westland Esta’tes has been the first
real big subdivision put on the market
beyond Battle Hill. The beauty of this
property, itsjsattractive location and the
possibility for the future for the owner
of a lot in its borders appealed to the
officers and directors of Southland Es
tates Corporation as an ideal location
for a subdivision, and that here could
be erected a most attractive suburb of
Atlanta.
Nowhere around Atlanta is there a
better paved street than Gordon road
for a mile and a half beyond Battle
Hill to the entrance of Westland Es
tates. and the county- commissioners
are now engaged in crushing stone and
preparing to extend this cherted road
farther west.
The home of “Uncle Remus." among
many trees of Gordon street, is one
of the show places of Atlanta, and is
passed on the way to Westland.
From Battle Hill to Peyton road,
also cherted. practically every piece of
property has been platted and is owned
by the people who live upon the place.
Two entrances will be provided to
Westland Estates, one on Gordon road
and one on Peyton road, and the engi
neer's plans, accepted by- the company,
provide for the expenditure of some
$25,000 for cherted streets this y-ear.
Ideal country homes, locations for nu
merous attractive bungalows, are to be
found in Westland.

Westland Estates provides for the
man with small means who can save a
few dollars an opportunity- to purchase
property in the direct development of
the city westward, with attractive fea
tures in a contract which no other real
estate corporation gives in the city of
Atlanta, in that after ten payments
iftve been made and the purchaser
should die, the property- will go to the
estate without further question and a
warranty deed be issued. There are no
taxes and no interest charges.
Southland Estates Corporation, in
whom the title for Westland Estates
rests, has offices at 603 Third National
Bank building, Atlanta.
The crying need of all this section is
a street car line out Gordon road to at
least as far as Stratford and probably
to Adamsville. A committee of prac
tically all of the residents of that sec
tion has been organized, with J. J. West
as chairman, for the purpose, of dis
cussing with the street car people the
necessity- for the extension of some line
from Battle Hill to Stratford. At this
point there is at least five miles of
territory untouched by a car line, and
the building up of Westhaven and
Westland at Peyton and Gordon roads
has brought ‘he attention of the street
railway officials to this locality.
No section of Atlanta can give to the
home buyer purer air, better building
sites, more natural beauty or a better
community of citizens than the West
End, and particularly ’Westland Es
tates.
AUCTION ON MAY 25.
The Charles P. Glover Realty Com
pany will offer at auction two new bun
galows and 41 vacant lots on North Bou
levard near Ponce DeLeon avenue May
25. The sale of the property- is expected
to bring $75,000 The one-fifth cash prop
osition will be made.

Colonial Hill Man
Too Busy Selling to
Discuss Real Estate
An accompanying photograph is one
of the many beautiful homes in Colo
nial Hill. S. E. Davidson says he can't
talk about real estate news in this hus
tling subdivision, because he is so busy
taking the customers to the property
and selling them home sites. From the
hustle and bustle around his office in
the Candler building. It was evident
that he yvas busy.
Sales in bolonial Hill in April
amounted to $31,500, and a half dozen
new homes were either started or ar
ranged for during this month.
Colonia! Hill is on a par with the
entire West End section, which is a
community from West End to College
Park of not less than 50,000 souls. The
rapid sale of Colonial Hill is evidence
of the heautv. the accessibility and en
hancing value of this tract.

Walker, a Christian preacher at severa!

Mr Walker’s strenuous ideas of living
amazed the rugged farmers of the com

and wade a creek which was full of
floating ice. The minister was on a 25-

J. E, McCullough Says Rates
Are Merely Keeping Prog
ress With Growing City.
"Tno prices of Atlanta real estate ar#
in line with the general progress ana
development of the city, and its value
can not be overestimated." aaid J. E.
McCullough, of the realty firm of J. E.
McCullough & Co., today.
"There has been such a large in
crease in values for the past twenty
rears that many people seem impressed
with the idea that they are forced to
pay too much for property when they
buy- it. However, the city has grown to
be one with a future to it since an
active trade in realty began over two
decades ago. and this alone makes the
property more valuable.
“All investments in realty at that
time were more or less speculative, for
no one knew what Atlanta would
amount to. Now it is different, for
every one knows the city is the me
tropolis of the South. Our resources
are ' tried and we are not dependent on
local or foreign conditions as we once
were.
"The growth of Atlanta and of the
whole South is natural and healthy and
the value placed on real estate in this
city is entirely normal."
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
HAS A HEART OF GOLD
WASHINGTON, May 4. —Some on#
sent Senator John Sharp Williams a
few hundred dollars (Confederate
money) which had been lying in a Mis
sissippi attic since that little confer
ence between Lee and Grant at Ap
pomatox.
With his pockets full of this money,
Williams was hastening by the nearest
and most direct route to attend the
session of a committee on irrigation
which meets daily near Fifteenth street,
when a man who had “the sad look”
stopped him and asked for enough to
buy- a lunch.
“My friend.” said ’Williams. 'Tm no
piker When I help a man at all I help
him right. There is nothing in buying
a cheap meal for a man The proper
system is to give him enough to put
him on his feet so he can help himself.
Take this $5,000 and get started again.
When you want to pay it back you can
find me in this same neighborhood al
most any day at this time.”
Williams escaped before the man had
time to examine the roll of bills thrust
into his hand.
