RACE TRACK ADDITION.

This tract lies just one mile from the Town. | intend to
run a Street Railroad to the Race Track, which will
make lots near by treble in value within two years. I
give a written guarantee with every lot sold that this
Railroad will be in operation within two wears from date.
Backed by a general bond sufficient to build and equip
the same, | intend placing the first 100 lots OF the mar
ket at $1,000 and increase $500 per lot every 100 lots
sold thereafter. There are about 2,4OO lots in Race
Track Addition. An increase OF $500 per lot on every
100 lots sold, the last 100 lots must bring $4,000 each.
The payments can be as follows: $500 cash down and
$500 per month on each lot, with no interest on deferred
payments. Those that get in on the first installments
will beyond a doubt make good investments. Two
years ago | started Standard Land Company Addition
to Gultport at $4,000 per lot, many of which cannot be
bought today for $4,000 per lot. These lots are further
out, but believe | can make equally as valuable by Street
Railroad connection.
Get in while you can cheap. Buy a lot for your chill
dren; 1t may be the means of giving them a good start
in lite. This is az opportunity you may never get again.

Of each and had then descended wear
ily to the sidewalk. Whatever was

discouraged as he made his way to the
doorway Of No. 1765. He was met here
by a man. and when the young man
began: Here have book" 1t
seemed evident that the door was to be
closed.
IT'S a history of the Revolutionary
War-the best written and most au-
thoritative-Iodge's History Of the
Revolutionary War" This last appeal
of the young book agent had a peculiar
effect upon the guardian of the door.
He seemed inclined to hear more. IDvit-
ed inside, the young man told Of the
value Of the book. not only from the
standpoint Of authenticity, but of the
fact that Its author was the closest
personal and political friend Of PresI-
dent Roosevelt The agent became
most eloquent, and the words flowed
easily from his lips.
His listener seemed more and more
pleased with what he said, and finally
exclaimed:
