unless you have had special train

property is worth. You may want too
much: but you are just as apt to be
willing to accept too little.
There is in my office a list Of over
hundred people who want 10 buy
real estate of every kind and descrip-
ton. When you put your property IN
my hands, these people are sent a de-
scription with price, and it is a
mighty poor piece of property that l
don't have three or four people bidding
on. This means competition and COM
petition means a fair price for you. If
you want more than your property is
worth, I am not the man for you. If,
however, you have something you want
sold quickly and are willing to take
what it is worth, then give me a ten
days trial, and see what offers l can
get. This costs you nothing; and you
don't have to accept them unless sat-
isfactory.
The advertising is paid by me; and
after the ten days has elapsed you
have a perfect right to give it to any
other agent or sell it yourself. I'm

If you would like to hear about
them, 1 can tell you of many sales
made in three days time at thorough
ly satisfactory prices, for people who
had been trying to sell for months;
for years even. Another important
thing to consider is that people who
want to buy always come to me. Buy

PLANS DRAWN FOR
WEST SIDE GREEN
IMPROVEMENT is ASSURED.
MATTER WILL COME UP AT NEXT
COUNCIL MEETING.

Assistant City Engineer Howard
Has Drawn Map of street with
the Proposed ImprOvement-GTee
VIII BE % Feet Wide, with n
Driveway of 20 Feet on Either
side-The Paving Ordinance Al
ready Passed VIII Have to he
Amended ana This VIII he Taken
up at Next Council Meeting.
Assistant City Engineer Howard has
prepared a drawing of West Broad
street, as it will appear after the pro-
posed green has been established. The
full in the city.
After a conference with Mayor Myers
and the director of public works, Pres
ident Baldwin. OF the Savannah Elec-
trio Company, has written the city "a
letter, offering on behalf of his COM
pany, to pay the same amount towards
the paving of the street. if the grass
plot is put down, as it would have to
pay without it.
The city officials have decided to ac-
cept the offer, and the matter will be
taken up at the next meeting of Coun-
Gil. The ordinance, providing for the
paving of West Broad, will have to be
amended.
street VIII De Beautified.
The green will not only beautfy
the street, but will make the paving
much cheaper, both for the city and
40 mi
be saved by the city on the paving Of
the street, and the property owners
will likewise be benefited.
The green will be twenty-five feet
wide, running from Gwinnett street to
Thirty-first. The double car tracks
are to run down the middle of the
green as on Liberty street. A drive
way twenty feet wide will be left on
either side of it. There will be not
only a large saving in the laying of
the pavement. but in its mainte-
nance. 1t will be much cheaper to
keep the grass clean, and, altogether,
the saving to the city will amount to
quite a sum.
Will Amend Ordinance.
An ordinance for the paving of
West Broad street has already been
passed. This, of course, provided for
the paving of the entire width of the
street. This will have to be amended
before work can be started. An
amendment providing for the green
will be introduced at the next meet
ing of Council.
The street railway will also be bene-
flied by the change. The road by
agreement will have to pay the same
amount as on the paving, but the
probability of accidents will be great
ly lessened by running on the green.
The line can be operated much more
satisfactorily on the green than on the
street
city official said yesterday he be-
lieved real estate values along the
street would advance 25 per cent. by
reason of the improvement.

RELEASED, PENDING
GOOD BEHAVIOR.

MOOnshiner Released From Jail by
Order of Court.
In accordance with his order at the
time sentence was imposed, John Tur-
ner, colored, was yesterday released
from Chatham county Jail by Judge
Speer. Turner was sentenced to one
months imprisonment on Tuesday for
making Illicit whisky
The policy of suspending sentence
during good behavior has been found
to work much more satisfactorily in
these minor cases than that of COM
polling the prisoner to serve the full
term. The fear that he will be COM
PEELED to serve the remaining time has
the effect of causing the one released
to cling TO the straight and narrow
path of justice.
