The “Sock Social” given on Thurs day night at residence of Col. C. T. Ladson, on Peeples street, proved quite an amusing, as well as profitable affair, and netted a snug sum for the Park street church. The price of ad mission was one cent for each inch of length of a person’s foot. A prize for one having longest foot, and won by Mr. Carlton Smith. One gentleman objected to having both feet measured, but on being told that he must stand in a corner on one foot during the evening, yielded his objection. It was an enormous foot, but failed to obtain the prize. It was a novel and inter esting entertainment, and all present were delighted, and praised the Lord, for the favor of long feet. The following notice sent out by the Ladies’ Aid Society, of the West End Christian church, explains itself. We print it here as a special invita tion to our readers of the Georgia Record.

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, No, 114, in block 17, in Montrose Park, Montrose county Col orado. Six acres on Satterfield Ford road, 5 miles from Greenville, in Greenville county, 8. C. Three lots at Montreal, on G. C. & N. railroad, DeKalb county, Ga. One lot 52x120 feet, on west side of Violet avenue, Atlanta, Ga. 1,100 acres; 700 hammock, 400 up land, in 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. Good title, by descent to pres ent owner. 1,150 acres on St. Mary’s river, in Camden county, Ga. Grant and 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 in the finest section of country for minerals. Several of these lots have been examined, or, as the assay ists and miners would say, have been prospected, and found to bear fine de posits of gold, silver, iron, copper and marble. The stare of Georgia is de veloping name of the finest mineral resources in this country, in Goal, co rundum, gold, silver, copper, man ganese, and other minerals, and marble, iJbo a variety rtf 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 and vegetables. Bome of these lands, now offered, are as fine ns any in the world for fruits and cereals. A prominent real estate journal, the “American Land and Title Register,” recently nsed 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 ’•ud 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 want to get rich, buy real estate and know what yon are getting; if you want to gamble, buy stocks aud let some one else know what they are giving you.” I desire to sell these lands as soojn 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 and 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 and 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.

One Year §I.OO Six Months ®0 Three Months 30 One Month 1- 408 “The Grand” —Office of “The Georgia Record,” Atlanta, Georgia. To Readers op The Record: Perhaps you are aware of the publi cation of "The Georgia Record, ” a weekly newspaper issued every Satur day.

We are particularly desirous of having your name on our list as a regular subscriber and reader, and as a helper in our progress and improvement. We are planning to make it a first-class journal of the times, or, as 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 m ad vance, or as closely as possible, for the mutual benefit of subscriber and 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 yon as well at one time as another. To you it is a small item. In 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. You are now respectfully requested to let ns 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 you, that you will continue to be a regular sub scriber. Please respond promptly. Very Cordially Yours, Robert L.
