Investments
IN
Lands

Such investments are not spccula-
tive. The south is not new coun-
try. Market and shipping facilities
are adequate and first class. The eli
mate is mild and favorable. Notwith-
standing these and other advantages,
southern lands are selling for prices
far below their real value and at pres
ent prices net large returns on the in
vestment. For free set of circulars
