One lot 52x120 feet, on west side of

1,100 acres; 700 hammock, 400 up
land, iu Screven county, Ga, This is
a fine place, divided by the Georgia
Central railroad. 50 miles from Savan
nah. Railroad station on the place; good
location for country store. Splendid
situation for factory for staves and
cooperage works. Enough good tim
ber on the hammock land to pay for
the place three or four times over.
Investors are invited to examine this
place.
1.149 acres on west bank of Savan
nah river, in Effingham county, Ga.,
grant of 1784, and descent of title to
present owner.
1.150 acres on Satilla river, in Cam
dem county, Ga., grant from state,
and deeds on record for 100 years

Camden county, Ga. Grant aud deeds
on record 100 years back. Good title,
by descent to present owner.
430 acres on west bank of Savannah
river, in Screven county, Ga. Deeds
on record since 1827. Good title, by
descent to present owner.
All of these lands are available for
agriculture, stock raising, mining,
or timbers. Some few of the lots in
north Georgia are in the hills, but
they have the advantage of being sit
uated iu the finest section of country
for minerals. Several of these lots
have been examined, or, as the assny
ists and miners would say, have been
prospected, and found to bear fine de
posits of gold, silver, iron, copper and
marble. The state of Georgia is de-
veloping some of the finest mineral
resources in this country, in coal, co
rundum, gold, silver, copper, man
ganese, and other minerals,and marble,
a>so a variety cf the finest timbers for
all sorts of manufactures of wooden
wares and furniture. The state is
noted for its salubrious climate, and
its remarkable adaptability for all kinds
of agricultural products, fruits aud
vegetables. Some of these lauds, now
offered, are as fine as any in the world
for fruits and cereals.
A prominent real estate journal, the
"American Land and Title Register,”
recently used a paragraph under the
head of "Investments and Specula
tions,” and it impresses me as being
so appropriate, that I quote it here as
follows: “Real estate is the thing,
above all others, that furnishes a field
for investment that is absolutely safe
"nd profit bearing. It is the material
interest itself, and it cannot be de
stroyed by bad management, extrava
gant methods, competition, casualty,
dishonesty in management or legisla
tion. Its value cannot be depressed
by any of these causes. Investments
in real estate, judiciously made, can
not fail to be profitable. If you w'ant
to get rich, buy real estate and know
what you are getting; if you want to
gamble, buy stocks and let some one
else know what they are giving you.”
I desire to sell these lands as soon
as possible, and they must go at low
prices, very low for cash, or on easy
terms and long time with 5 per cent
interest, as purchasers may desire aud
prefer. Persons desirous of investing
money for future profits by enhance
ments should examine these offers at
once. I have other lands, which I
will sell on good terms aud low prices.
In writing for information about any
of these lands, refer to them by the
number, district, section and county,
and enclose two stamps, 4 cents, for
reply. Robert L. Rodgers,
ts Attorney at Law, Atlanta, Ga.

408 “The Grand”—Office of
“The Georgia Record,”
Atlanta, Georgia.
To Readers of The Record:
Perhaps you are aware of the publi
cation of “The Georgia Record,” a
weekly newspaper issued every Satur
day. It is increasing in interest amongst
those who have been reading it from
the first issue. We desire and hope
to make it still more interesting 83’TTv
progress with it. We are particularly
desirous of having your name on our
list as a regular subscriber aud reader,
and as a helper in our progress aud
improvement. We are planning to
make it a first-class journal of the
times, or, ns its name imports, we
wish to make it “The Georgia
Record” of all notable persons or
noteworthy events. In order to ac
complish our purpose, it is necessary
for our patrons to aid us in a substan
tial way, and so it becomes essential
to have subscriptions paid up in ad
vance, or as closely as possible, for the
mutual benefit of subscriber aud pub
lisher. Our subscription price is very
small, simply about the cost of the
paper. If we can have it in advance we
certainly can apply it for better ad
vantage than if we have to wait for it
some time. Os course the small sum
of one subscription can be paid by
you as well at one time as another. To
you it is a small item. Iu the aggre
gate the matter is important to the
publisher. One subscription may be
merely a mite. One thousand may be
mighty or much to the progressive de
velopment of the newspaper. Os
course the mutual advantage of ad
vance payment of your subscription
will be obvious to you on a moment’s
consideration.
Y’ou are now respectfully requested
to let us have your subscription money
by return mail, or otherwise as may be
convenient to you, as early as practi
cable. Will you not be pleased to re
mit the price for one year,—one dol
lar? Os course for a shorter time, if
you prefer it, but a year will be the
better for both of us. If it is not con
venient for you to remit, just write us
a few words on a postal card to call on
you, and we will appear before you
very soon.
We feel confident that a trial of
subscription will so interest yon, that
you will continue to be a regular sub
scriber. Please respond promptly.
Very Cordially Yours,
Robert L. Rodgers,
Editor and Publisher of “The Geor
gia Record. ” ts
