THIRTY LOTS
AT
AUCTION.
AT
C. H. DOgSett, AuCtiOn9ar,
win sell on MONDAY, Aug. 10. 1891, at 1 p. Ms
on the premises,
Thirty Beautiful Lots.

There are four blocks Of eight lots each, two
Of them being reserved for the location Of the
depot of the Savannah and Isle of Hope rail-
way.
There are two blocks fronting on Estill ave-
nue. and two on South avenue.
The blocks are between Lincoln aud HGbers
sham and Habersham and Price streets.
There are four corners thirty seven feet 'FRONT.'
by ninety one feet deep. and three corners
thirty four feet front by ninety feet deep.
The Belt Line OF electric cars pass in 'front.'
Of one block and along the ends of the four
blocks
The Savannah and Isle OF Hope railway, now
completed to Thund sr0olt, commences at the
intersection of Estitl avenue and Habersham
street and passes in front Of one block
The new she'll road TO the Isle Of Hope is pro-
iected from the intersection of Esttll avenue and
Waters avenue.
This vicinity is, therefore, bound to be a great
thoroughfare, and grand place for business.
The business done at the depots of the Coast
Line railroad and the City and Suburban rail-
road will indicate what may be expected at this
point.
The new railroad 70 Thunderbolt and the Isle
of Hope is expected to revolutionize suburban
railroad travel and certainly will open up q
magnificent property along its route.
Persons of moderate means who have never
before made an investment in lands can make
mistake as to future profits by investing in
one or more Of these lots.

MEN WHOM WOMEN LIKE.

They Like Almost All Men But Especially
Those Who Like Them.
New Orleans Picayune.
1t may not be fair to give it away, but a
woman who likes men-and only such are
worth listening to-has been telling what it is
in men, or what qualities possessed by them,
women like most. Venturing an opinion from
her point of view, she says, women, think,
like manly, not ladylike, men. They like
honesty of purpose and consideration. Th ey
like men who believe in women. They like
their opinions to be thought of some value
They like man who can be strong as lion
when trouble comes, and yet, IL one is
nervous and tired, can button up shoe and
do 1t with an amount of consideration that Is
mental and physical bracer-up. They like
man who can take hold of the baby, con-
vince it of his power, and get it to sleep after
with 1t, until their eyes are tired and they
feel as If they had no brains. They like
man who is interested in their new dresses,
who can give an opinion Of the fit and who is
properly indignant at any article written
against women. They like man who knows
their innocent weaknesses and caters to them;
who will bring home box of candy, the last
new magazine or the latest puzzle sold on the
street, that will do more than its duty in
entertaining everybody for the whole evening.
They like man who Is master of the situa-
tion-that is, who has brains enough to help
woman to decide what is the best thing to
do under the circumstances and who has wit
enough to realize, when one of the fair sex is
slightly stubborn, that persuasion is more
powerful than all the arguments in the world
They like man who likes them-who doesn't
scorn their opinions, who believes in their good
taste, who has confidence in their truth and
who, best of all, knows that the love promised
is given him. That's the sort of a man woman
liza ofN6 ham, cfrr Of &c otto
his virtues are mentioned, is a little prayer
that says ''God bless him.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-12-20

true to the day and the hour made his ap-
pearance.
This time Mrs. Delany did more than bring
him to the verge Of declaration. She
brought him to the declaration ITSELF and the
following month they were married.
1t was toward the end of June that Ferdi-
nand Hopetown received the long-waited-for
letter. He had exhausted every imaginable
means OF discovering the inmate of the West
bourne Park lodgings in vain. Had she been
spirited awayP Had some disastrous accident
overtaken her the very day she had been re-
stored to him Had he offended her by his
proposal Of taking her to Paris p-or had she
become more guindee as a widow than he
could ever have accused her Of being as wife?
Whatever might be the cause of her mysteri-
Gus disappearance, it was with sense OF in
describable relief that he opened her note and
read:
"Dear Mr.. Hopetown' ("She is guindte," he
thought, "after all")-'l have been In the
country for few weeks. VIII you come and
see me at my new address, Hans Place, to-
morrow, about So"
Punctual to the hour, he stood next day at
the door OF a handsome mansion, and inquired
for Mrs. Delany.
Lady Vernon will see you, SIR" murmured
the man; and Ferdinand followed him won
deringly up q broad carpeted staircase, and
through what looked like maze of Towering
orchids, to a boudoir, furnished in the ap-
proved Oriental and curio-scattered fashion.
"Poor little woman ~ he reflected. 81 sup
pose she has taken a companions place, and
this is her splendid prison. She mast be
guindfe-very gtindee; but know a cure for
that"
He was full of compassion for her as she
entered the room attired in tea-gown that
might have figured in "La Tosca." But she
drew back as he came forward effusively,
and, without Offering her hand, said simply;
81 sent for you to thank you, Mr. Hopetown;
If it had not been for your visit of the other
day, might still have been under the delu-
sion that could afford to dispense with pro-
tector."
"What do you mean P' he asked, bewildered
"Only that woman alone in the world
with, or without, ten thousand year (Which,
l think, is about what l have of my own to
spend) is always, as you truly said, a poor
little woman and 30 L"
"What ?" he cried, eagerly advancing to-
ward her.
1-l--Oh, mere Is my husband who will
answer your question George, here is our
old Australian friend, Mr.. Hopetown. Mr..
Hopetown my husband, Sir George Vernon"
Ferdinand bore himself bravely under the
blow, which he designated in his own mind
as ''staggerer." His only revenge was to
send the following enigmstic phrase to Lady
Vernon, cribbed from one of Byron's letters:
1.-THE best prophet of the future is the past"
