Hiy sl |
' The largest transactlion in the real !
estate market that has been recordod!
in a long time took place this wevicl
when the “Gober Block” was sold. !
The deal was made by Mr. J. E.
Massey, President of the First Na
tional Bank, and Mr. R. E. Butler
was the purchaser.
The price was $27,500.
The 6‘wners of the px'opv,h cor
poration known as the Central Real
ty Company, turned the property
over to Mr. Massey about twelve
months ago and gave him permission
to sell if a satisfactory price could
be secured. When Mr. Butler offer
ed $27,500 Mr. Massey took the mat
ter up with the stockholders and the
offer was accepted.
The property consists of the en
tire block fronting on Atlanta, An
derson and Winter streets and the
alley running from Atlanta street to
Winer street. The price shows a de
mand for central property and the
stockholders are well satisfied with
the-transaction. -
Mr. Butler set the price and is
likewise well satisfied, feeling that
he ‘““‘got his money’s worth”’, He has
already begun to plan for extensive
alteration on some of the buildings
and has applications from several
tenants for space—those who waat
special arrangements to accomodate
their business.
Mr. Massey is being congratulated
on his success in handling so large a
deal in so short a time.

THE COUNTY FAIR
If every farmer in Cobb County
would manifest his enterest inthe
County Fair movement like Mr.
W. M. Gantt out in Fullers district,
the organization of the County Fair
would be a small task. Mr. Gantt
County and volutairly came forward
and requested that his name be put
down as one of the stock holders
without being solicited by anyone
and not only did that,but paid cash.
Mr. Gantt says that there is nothing
that ‘could result in greater benefit
to the County than for all of its
farmers and citizens to get behind
the movement and have a-successful
County . Fair. We wish fifty othevs
to do as Mr. Cantt has done,

METHODIST MEETING
BEGINS NEXT SUNDAY
Services Conducted Twice Daily
By Kev. Luther Bridgers.
Everybody Welcome. '
Rev. Lauther Bridgers, who begins
a two week's meeting next Sunday
morning at First Methodist church
is still a young man but a man of
wide experience, He has known the
great sorrow of losing his wife and
children and home all at one time,
guddenly by fire. He has known the
great joy of seeing thousands con
verted to the Gospel of Jesus under
his prea.u‘hing in the meetings he has
held in many states,
This information, however, was
not furnished by himself. He is sald
to be a man of modesty and tho
roughly uunselfish, depending upon
the power of God.
His singing is said to be almost as
effective as his preaching. His wife
sings, also, and will be with him in
the Marietta meeting.
Mr. Duval cordially invites all
Christian people to work in the meet
ing as far as they can. All the peo
ple are invited to attend. Services
every morning next week at 9:00
o'clock and every evening at 8:00.
Saturday excepted,
