I'll HAS CROSSED THE RUBlCoN

My previous discourses on real estate
are bearing fruit; those who have read
them, and, judging from the number of
inquirers, they are up in the thousands,
are investigating the subject. The vacant
lands in and near Savannah have assum-
ed a value thai non-thinkers did not
think about a month ago. My discourses
have opened the eyes of the blind to the
steady growth of the city and the increas-
ing value of building lots There is one
thing very observable in this movement;
II is that the city's extension IS southeast.
1t has ''crossed the RubicOn," as 1t We're,
that means the right of way and tracks
of the Plant System. to the neglect of
property directly southwark; the back
, bone which heretofore has been considered
the only true line Of improvement, has
given way to the east side.
The farthest lots on Ninth street are not
as far east as that lovely settlement,
The Meadows" I mention this so that
You can get your geographical bearings
adjusted. If you buy lot on Ninth street
and build a house you can look out of
your window and see nice houses farther
from the thickly built up part of the city
than yours
If there was ever a time when a man in
Savannah could afford to buy real estate
II is this Money is cheap, whether you
want to build house or buy lot or lots,
TO hold for rise. Just make an enquiry
as TO the present price of that lot you
looked at and would not buy in 1897 or 1898
and ascertain what is asked for it in
this year, A. D. 1893! 1t will surprise you!
Just wait until next year when the steady.
reliable old city closes up its vacant spaces
and you will be surprised again. I believe
| that this is the time to invest in real estate,
and there is no better chance to do that
than in Ninth street lots. 1 don't like the
word BOOM" but I don't know any word
that suits better, and I therefore use it.
Savannah may not be on a BOOM" but il
is on the edge of something very like it,
and If there is not big advance in the
prices of real estate before this season is
| over am no judge of the indications.
Let all those who want pointers on real
estate call on me l shall be glad to talk
with them, especially about Ninth street
lots. With kind regards, 1 am faithfully

There was an odd sort of occurrence at
the county jail to-day. 1t was a meeting
between Miss Mary Barnes, the daughter
of the late John A. McCauley, and c.
p. Johnson, the man who stole the estate
left by his friend McCauley, and thereby
robbed the girl who called to bring him a
bouquet.
Miss Barnes came to Atlanta several
days ago 10 put in her claim for the Nc
Cauley estate, accompanied by her uncle.
After arranging the details, she decided
that she would go to the jail and see John
son, which she did. The visit was like
heaping Goals of fire on the head of the
prisoner, who was let off by the court with
a light sentence in jail as a fine in view
of the fact that he surrendered that part
of the stolen property, which he still had
in his possession when arrested in New
York.
Johnson promised the girl that when he
got out of jail 1t would be his life work
to repay every cent that he had taken
away from her, and make complete res
titution. Johnson nursed McCauley. with
whom he was very friendly when he died.
then stole his property. For this McCau-
leys daughter took him a bouquet to the
jail to-day and gave him her thanks.
