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, S. 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 ih the finest section of country for minerals. Several of these lots have been examined, or, as the assay ists aud miners would say, have been prospected, and found to bear fine de posits of gold, silver, iron, copper and marble. The stale of Gciairia is de veloping some of the finest miner* resources in this country, in coal, co* rundnm, gold, silver, copper, man ganese, and other minerals,ami marble, also a variety of 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. Some of these lauds, now offered, are as fine as any in the world for frnits 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 '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 iu real estate, judiciously made, can not fail to be profitable. If you want to get rich, buy real estate aud 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 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. Robebt L.

Three Months 30 One Month 408 “The Grand”—Office of “The Georgia Record,” Atlanta, Georgia. To Readers ov The Record: Perhaps yon 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 aud hope to make it still more interesting as we progress with it. 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 iu 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 vait 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. 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 us have your subscription money by return mail, or otherwise as may be convenient to you, as early as practi cable. Will yon 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 yon 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. Rodgebs, Editor and Publisher of “Tun Geor gia Record.” ts INCENDIARIES CONVICTED. Three Negroes Found Guilty on Charge of Barn Burning.
