A Magnificent Water
Front for Sale.

There is no more attractive salt
water frontage in Chatham county
than that at Coffee Bluff
The stream of water is bold, with a
grand outlook seaward, and the best
fishing in this vicinity.
The contiguous land is fertile, and
the woods abound in oak and hickory.
This tract consists of 100 acres, hav-
ing a water frontage of 400 feet.
The land is reached by the White
Bluff road, affording a shelled road to
within three miles of the land, and
there are good prospects of this short
space being shelled in the near flu
ture.
This land is easily divided into
building lots with beautiful frontage,
and good acreage in the rear.
Promoters and Spectators are in
vited to investigate this as rare
chance for profit.
