THAT MOVEMENT NOT EMPHEMERAL
 BUT PERPETUAL

the South. This is an asset of no mean value. It is worth a great deal to have 2 home in such a place. One may never wish to sell 1t, but it's increase in value will be of distinct benefit to him. The Birmingham Realty company has given It's word that when all the lots in Norwood are sold-and today you can almost count the number remaining unsold on the fin- gers of the hand-it will not make any additions to "The Placid Place" for a long time to come, Thus the people of Norwood will be permitted to enjoy all of the gifts which are to come from the natural increase In values. And those who have bought in the immediate vicinity of Norwood will share proportionately.
 1t Is a Triumph.
 To the Birmingham Realty company Norwood is something more than real estate proposition. It is the triumphant vindication of theory and policy. When the company determined to create a new residential district for Birmingham, the Eastern North Highlands was selected as the site, because 1t was believed that there were all the natural conditions which make up the ideal dwelling place. The company spared no expense in sup plementing these natural advantages with permanent improvements and utilities. The wisdom of this policy has been more than justified, and the theory has been proved over and over. The extraordinary development of Northwood has demon strated that the Eastern North Highlands Is accepted as the home center of Bir- mingham.
 Arrived" Long Ago.
 In fact the Eastern North Highlands ''arrived," as the French say, when peo- pie of culture and discernment set the stamp of their approval upon 1t by build ing elegant homes there; and now no home-seeker. no matter how full his purse may be or how fastidious his taste, can afford to ignore the claims of Norwood and the Eastern North Highlands, where he can find the scenery the utilities, the society-all things which make for the perfect home life. But, after all the beauty of this Eastern North Highlands property is in the fact that It is not be- yond the reach of people of moderate means. The expenditure for a lot Is not prohibitive, and the expense of preparing lot for building is practically nothing -or. at the most mere trifie.
 So 1t is quite evident that there is noth- ing ephemeral or spasmodc in the de- mand for property on the Eastern North Highlands which has grown to such ex- traordinary proportions here of late. On the contrary as REALTY firmly believes, 1t is but the precursor of the grand de- velopment which is to take place out there.
 Just One of Many.
 The Eastern North Highlands is the residence property nearest the new union passenger station. the new trade district and the manufacturing centers of East and North Birmingham, and has rapid transit to each of these localities. This fact alone would make its future certain but, as we have seen, this is but one of its many claims upon the consideration of the home-seeker and the investor.

Sales by the Birmingham Realty com pany of property on the Eastern North Highlands during the month of Septem- Der reached the very impressive total of forty-nve lots yesterday afternoon. or this number, twenty-five were In Nor wood, and the remainder being on the out skirts of "The Placid Place"
 Faith In the Future.
 This Is certainly a remarkable rec ord. and the Birmingham Realty com spany Is naturally gratifed by 1t. but ev- cry lover of Birmingham has reason also to rejoice, for it shows the faith of the people in the future of the city When a man buys lot for home 1t means that he intends to become citi zen in the fullest and truest sense of the word. Here are more than two-score of such declarations of citizenship.
 And these sales reflect the prosperity of the community. People who buy property like this are getting on in the world They are either possessed of means or have the assurance of steady incomes.
 "Realty" Is Reaping.
 REALTY has especial reason for be- ing pleased with this showing. Time and time again it has urged the people not to postpone the purchase of home prop erty. It has reiterated the fact tha. this class of real estate is cheaper today, than 1t will ever be again In the history ot the city It has repeatedly expressed the conviction that Birmingham is on the eve of a great forward movement. It has dwelt on the fact that the problem of making steel on commercial oasis having been worked out, Birmingham must inevitably become ths great cen- ter for the manufacture of basic hearth steel in the United States. It has also pointed out that there must necessarily be a period of waiting before this age of steel is ushered in with all of its af- fulgence, and that this period of waiting. this pause between deep breaths is the time in which investments in Birming- ham real estate may be made with the assurance that the returns will be large. More than once REALTY has feared that It's readers would grow weary of this dwelling upon one point; but, being con- vineed that It was right and was speak ing in their interest, 1t persisted And now the fruit of it's labors is apparent in these purchases and in the general demand for real/estate That waiting time has really expired, and the swing of the upward movement is felt by all classes of citi- zens The belief Is general that the year 1906 will be one of the most prosperous, progressive and significant in the his- tory of Birmingham. .
 To Be Congratulated.
 Therefore those persons who have pur- chased property in and around Norwood have excellent reasons for congratulat- ing themselves. They have acquired hold ings surrounded by all the modern im- provements at very low prices-prices which will appear as incredibly low six months or year hence. With these pur- chases goes full interest in the prestige of Norwood, which is now known all over the country as one of the most charming and attractive residence communities in

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

Tho local real estate market yesterday was not as active as usual. the number of transfers filed in the probate court be- ing much smaller than usual, and very lew of them were for amounts exceed ing S1lo0. The prices are in a very firm condition, however, and the activity of the market is well distributed over the city. Real estate in the suburbs con- tinues very active good prices predomin- atins. The building circles both in Bir- mingham and It's suburbs are in a very progressive condition. most of the per- mits issued, however, being for repairs and for the erection of residences.
 During the past week there have been over 200 papers presented at the probate clerks office to be placed on file. The total valuation of property transferred during the week ending yesterday amounts to about s24OOoO, .the average transfer amounting to about s1050. The daily average In real estate transfers for the week is about sS5,ooo.
 ''The past week in the local real estate market has been very firm and progress slve one," said one of the local real estate agents yesterday.
 The week opened Monday with a very heavy market, the transfers filed in the probate court amounting to nearly s5O,0O0 This amount Is unusually heavy for the first day of the week. During all of the remaining days of the week except two. today being one, the market continued very active During the past week there have been very few deals in local real estate In which large amounts were con- cerned, most of the transfers being in very small deals and in residence property valued at amounts ranging from s1000 to $50OO.
 "I have been asked by several people why there is not more activity in the property located in the neighborhood of the site for the new depot than there Is. My answer is that most of 1t is bought up by parties who are holding 1t for the high prices that are bound to come to pass in the next few years.
 "The building circles of Birmingham are in very active condition, quite number of residences being erected on the North and South Highlands, and in the suburbs I do not think that the build ing circles have ever been in better condition

3 reputation for breadth Of views and hexibiIity
Bf methods With a record Of more than five
Centuries Of uninterrupted operation, It has only
10 students, seventy of them scholars on the
original foundation and $50 commoners in nine
boarding houses. The attendance might easily
be doubled, for there are always dozen can
didates for every vacancy; but the Wykehamites
prefer to &c on In the old way, picking and
choosing their men, after careful examinations,
and avoiding the dangers OF overgrowth. Win
chester has retained its primitive simplicity and
characteristic traits while other schools have
been adapting themselves to the requirements
of a rich, leisured class. It is solid, working
school, where the sons of peers and millionaires
are not to be found, and where men are trained
for careers in the church or at the bar rather
than for public life and the military services.
Conservatism has been shown in the tenacity
With which the original idea Of a common col
.eee life shared on equal terms has been re-
tanned. When the visitor, passing out of the
cathedral close turns sharply down Col
lege-st- beyond Jane Austen's house and
the headmaster's residence with the high, sham
.hirnneys, he crosses the outer court formed
by the wardens house and stables and
the ancient breWhouse, and enters Chamber
Court by a second gateway adorned with statues
IF the Virgin Gabriel and the founder OF the
college. 1t is a sombre but picturesque quad
rangle with black fints in the timeworn walls
and the open space paved with cobblestones and
Fagstones; and behind it are the chapel with a
high tower and the cloisters with chantry
in the inclosed garth. This is the his
toric foundation for the scholars built by Will
lam OF Wykehan and his immediate successors,
and the structures were arranged as to pro
vide q common life for all the inmates. On the
ground level in the court were the six big cham
bers where the seventy scholars lived and slept
fopn+her without priyacy. upper rooms were
occupied by the fellows and instructors; there
was conduit in one corner where the men
washed; there was hail approached by a stone
staircase where they took their meals together,
and connected with 1T were the butteries and
kitchens; a seventh chamber was the old school
room; and In the chapel and chantsy they at
tended services and IN the cloisters they walked
