ing-Social News. Advertiser Bureau. Mobile. Sept. g. It seems to be the intent and purpose of | the land and industrial agents of this | section not to let a single individual of the large party of homeseekers which | invaded this territory the past week, es- cape without purchasing homes. From current reports the greater portion of them have made purchases and will. in the near future. begin the erection of houses on the land acquired. This morning two parties of the visiting home seekers left the city. one over the Mobile and Ohio Railroad for Yellow Pine, under the guidance of A. V. Gus man. of the Alabama Land and Improve ment Company. the other under the guid- ance of Charles M. KiIborn of the same company. over the Mobile and Birming- | ham division of the Southern Railway for points north of this city. between Mobile and Selma. It will be the efforts of the two men in charge of the parties to | locate them in the immediate vicinity of l Mobile. if possible. One of the most pleasing features of the visiting delegations is that they are all representative people and have the appearance on the outer surface of being l the class of people wanted in South Ala hama for development of the now idle | soils. | w.
