most all covered with vines, orange trees
and splendid foliage, will put on met

The Howes Tract fronts on Jefferson

location is a very popular one, in the d.
rect line of the city's rapid growth, and
will soon be rea ,hed by lines of street
railroad and the Motor Road on the
west.
1t was not intended to open the books
for this fine property until the fifth of
November, but the fact that it was to
be placed on the market having become
known, an instant demand sprang UP,

the sales may be all made before even

THE JOHN f. COOK SCHOOL
CONCERT.

The concert by the John F.
Cook school at Willard hall last
Friday night was a success in
every respect. The hall was
crowded to it's utmost capacity by
very appreciative audience. The
program was carried out to the
letter and everything went off
smoothly. The quartette, "Come
Where My Love Lies Dreaming"
was artislically rendered by Misses
George Makell and Priscilla Rob-
inson and Messrs. T. Beason and
j. Linwood johnson. Special
mention may be made of the Fan
Drill and the defamation "Over
the Hills from the Poor House" !"
by John Dawley. The drama by
Miss Louise Smith was very g )od
when it got there, but the waiting
between the acts was too long,
and should Miss Smith present
it again she should have every
thing arranged so that the time
between the ac's would not be so
long. Miss Mary Nalle deserves
especial praise for the rendition OF
the music.
