ment.
In Macon, Atlanta, Savannah and
other cities these apartments have
been continuously popular, and are
kept rented right along As rule
they contain parlor, dining room,
two large and one small Ibed rooms,
kitchen, pantry, bath and toilet room.
They are equipped with electric lights
and gas, gas range in kitchen, instan-
taneous heater in bath room, electric
bells from dining room to kitchen,
and other modern eonveniences.
In Savannah single buildings, con
tanning two apartments, are erected at
a cost of 80, 800 to $1,000. A double
apartment house, containing four apart
ments, could undoubtedly be built in
Americas for $500. AS stated, there
is hardly a question that four high
class tenants could be secured in adj
vance who would be willing to lease
by the year for three 10 five years.
Such leases are easily disposed of in
the event of death.
Who will be the investor to put up
high grade, up-to- date apartment
house IN Americas? 1t is needed, and
needed soon.

The details of the postponement
were arranged at session of
court, which lasted until nearly
8 O'Clock. For more than an hour

the court entered the ruling as
above, announcing that he would
give ample notice OF the date

ARBOG DAY IN IRELAND.
Land of Shamrock Would Like to Be
Known as "island of Woods"

Ireland is trying to reestabllsh its
claim to be known as the Island OF
Woods says Forestry and Irrigation.
1t is interesting to know that an
American importation, "Arbor day"
is being made use of largely In fur,
thering the ends of forestry.
Since Arbor day started in Nebras.
ka 35 years ago its observance has
spread all over the United States.
The tangible result in this country
has been the planting of over 6,00O,,
900 trees, for the most part by indi
yidual school children, besides the
interest aroused in animate and mani.
mate nature and in forestry. In Ire.
land similar movement Is now fair.
ly launched and is rapidly spreading
throughout the country. The time set
for planting trees is in the fall, in
stead of the spring, as in most Amer
lean states, namely the week com
mencing October 29 of each year.
Last year circular was issued by
the Irish Forestry society to all the
bishops, clergy and public bodies urg
ing them to organize an Arbor day
in the various districts. A hearty re-
sponse was received. and the support
came from all sections of the com.
munity, from peers. peasants, clergy
and artisans. not emitting the school
