One city lot, 27x93, on Woodward avenue, in Atlanta, Ga. Three lots, 50x150 feet each, alto gether being Nos. 14, 15 and 16, on Mt. Zion avenue, in the village of Mt. Zion, Carroll county, Ga.

One lot 52x120 feet, on west side of Violet avenue, Atlanta, Ga. 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 back.

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.
