The Voyage that Central Railroad

One of the railroad clerks created a stir

business, and whils he was on the steamer
she moved off and was out in the middle Of
the stream Uhel the clerk suddenly discov-
cred that the trip which the s,eamec was
about t. make was toe great for hin. Be-
sidss he was nsedSd at the depot, aRd after
mature elaboration he rushed iato tae
captains Office and hastily revis we'd the
matter.
Impressed that the clerk was OF the most
vital importance to the great railroad cor
poratioa, the captain sailed out and spoke
something in q half dozen different Ian
guagss TO as many different people, and
there was jingAng of bells and scrseching
Of whistles and escaping steam. II souaded
like the forsrunner Of the cents nial, and
the passengers hurried on the deck to hear
the oration. A little sail boat camo across
from tas wha t, and an immense cable
was lowered to it. Somebody SAID that the
sail boat AID the boatman were going to be
taken on b ard. The steamer left her life

disabused the minds of cOnts nial when
he said: "Coms, catch hold of the rope y

The sale Of Lots Yesterdav.

According to previous announcement
there were sold yesterday afternoon twenty
lots Of what has heretofore been known as
the Glatigny tract. The portion sold was
between Drayton and Abefcorn streets, and
between Sixth aud Seventh stress. 1t was
sta ed that the owner Of the land had made
an exchange with the city, surrsndering q
strip of about sighty-two feet o. the south
4 he tract for the opening Of Seventh
street, rece viag in lieu therefor ab 1ut
the same amount of land on the north of
the tract and fronting on Sixth street. 1t
is prop&r TO commend this action as n wise
I ansaction for both the owner and the city
l. is to be depl red tnAt 80 little is being
done in this direction TIE chances for
similar transactions are becoming scarcer
every day.
Inc ale was well attended, the buggies
hitched around reminding one of a scene at
country court house
The saty lots were disposed Of in a
comparatively short time, aud two OF the
first buyers having thei purchases resold at
small advance. The cOmpe iLion for the
corner lots was very spirited. The Or. ces
obtained show thai the market is well sus-
tainsd, and, doubtless, would have bsen

fact that the streets were really opened

Tho Real Estate Market.

The four-column article in yesterdays
NEWS made very decided impression upon
the community. Our quiet, easy-going
people, who travel one route from home to
church or to business every day, had no
idea Of what was going on ia our midst
s me Of them took the cars yesterday after
noon and rode out to see whether II Of
these buildings were really in process of
construct n. The posted few seemed sorry
that ths publication was made-fearing it
would increase the number Of buysrs-they
not yet beng 6lled up. 1t certainly owed
q very healthy condition OF business in real
estate matters.
The strong points about the market are
thsss: The purchases being made are by
those who desire to secure homss Very
many have been accommodating for years,
and they now Rad themselves le to realize
their desires. Others who have bought are
young men who, having firm saith in the
future OF the city, desire to secure lot
while they can be had at low prices, expect
ing build thereon in later years, when
they are aole and when they need q hom&
There is another and very valuable class
of buyers: Men Of capital, whose tins and
attention have heretofore been devoted
excl sively to the stock and bond market.
These have awakened to the fact that Sa-
vanuah has great future; that the signs Of
the times point to greater increase in pop
ulatien, and consequently in values, during
tie next five years than it has in ths past
hve years. 1t is correctly argued that if
the CITY extends its borders in that time as
it has done siacs 1885, that it must extend
far into the fields on our south. These
parties, having the means, are successfully
tempting heretofore memorable holders to
let g their acres, and serving a good pur-
pose by putting these acres on the market
in lots. In this way lew priced lots are
placed within the purchasing powsr Of a
class otherwise excluded by the higher
prices nearer in.
The transactions in realty are, therefore,
natural and healthy. There is notAing
straiEe cd or forced. The vacant places north
of Anderson have become too valuable, or
are mads undesirable from one cause or an
other, and south is the only direction in
which they can go.
Any one who will study the situation
with an unpreiudicsd mind must come to
tie same conclusion and admit that our
prospects as a city warrants greater activity.

THE NEXT SALE OF LOTS.

The Largest, Best Located Most Desir-
able
Every public sale Of lots held this sea-
son has demonstrated the fact that the
public would be glad to have something
better. While the competition has bee
healthy and sufficiently good to keep the
auctioneer from getting in bad humor,
still the demand was for something little
more central
The uncertainty Of the line Of Bull street,
and the du-t Of the shell road was objected
to by some. Others preferred not to be ea.t
of Bull, thinking the land On the west was
higher and healthier.
All Of those objections are mat in the lots
to bs sold on Wednesday, the 22d inst They
are located on the top of the ridge, bsin z
between Whitaker and Barnard streets
These lots will be sold ON the premises, and
feel sure that the large number Of persons
who attended Yesterdays aud previous sales
will find in these what they have been seek
ing after.
There is a growing disposition on the part
Of some of our people to get out in the new
section. None Of the land desired could be
purchased heretofore In order to meet
this demand these lots are offered.
In laying out the land, as to size of lots
and abutting streets, in the arranging of
terms, In the simplifying the transfer when
sold, Ia this cheapsiing Of charges, every
care has bsoa tAksl to render the property.
and the sale generally, as popular and as
liberal as it was possible to do.
The terms giyea TO purchasers would sell
lots Of less merit They are such TIA t no
person ever expecting or desiring to make
beginning toward securing a hone can
afford t. neglect the opportunity.
II order to make every detail as satisfac-
tory and as simple as p ssibls, the title 10
these lots has bseu rigdly exaui ed a5 ths
present owaer's expense By attorneys Of
undoubtsd reputation. The certificate Of
tosse attorneys as to the titles will appear
in eacl paper, which will be Furnished free
Of expense. Ia addition to this the four
corners Of each lot Will be marked by
careful surveyor, sld this Zee will also be
saved to the purchasers. There beiug n
interest charged on tss deferred payments,
purchasers viii be absolutely at no expense,
aud will only have to pay the snall cash
payments and the monthly installments.
