lamps, stationery fruits, coDfec-,

rarely over seen Ia the hands ofI
oountry grocers Mr.. =. carries
the largest stock in the place, and
one that is complete to the small

hence in q review of this kind than.
the establishment Of w. s. Lewis.
DAMON & BEESON
are doing general real estate
business and although less than q
year established, their transactions
might we'll be envied by many
older and more pretentious agen-
cies. This firm is recently from
Sioux county, Iowa, where they
were known to the writer as mon
of integrity and reliability. While
they are doing q general real estate
business, they make speciality of
Mobiles county lands. They are
both owners of considerable valua-
BILE farm property, and are pre-
pared to buy and sell on commits
sion on the most favorable terms.
There is probably few sections of
country that offer more desirable
opportunities to the home seeker
or investor than Mobiles and neigh
boring counties, and the above firm
is generally prepared to meet the
wants of all classes of purchasers,
both as regards the character of
property and terms. They will
also make insurance and farm
loans a feature of their business.
Messrs. Damon & Beeson are per-
manently located here and will
cheerfully furnish any desired in
formation regarding this section of
country, as to it's advantages and
resources, etc., to all those making
inquiry, and the ADVANCE does not
hesitate to CONNIE I'D them to all in
terested parties as thoroughly re-
liable.
