A HEALTHY BOOM
REAL AND NOT SPECULATION
VALUES MARK MT. PLEAS
ANTS RAPID GROWTH.

Special to the Herald.
MT. PLEASANT, Tenn. Jan A.
There seems to be no let up in the In
terest and excitement in real estate
and phosphate circles in Mt. Pleasant,
and unlike the boom which the town
experiences in 1899 and 1900, the deals
at the present time and the prices paid
for property, are not the result Of the
speculative spirit, In which tbs pur-
chasers hope for tremendous profits
as result Of boz air boom, but IN
very nearly. every instance, the prop
erty which has been sold brought
prices at what is known to be actual
values, either by reason of the phos-
phate contained thereon, or the actual
value for building or other purposes
The town has been growing at rap
i'd and steady rate for the past sever
al years, and 1t is very evident now
even to the most skeptical, that it is
destined to be a good town and a fine
business point for many years to
come, and hence many Of the ones
who have realized handsomely from
their interests In the phosphate fields
are now showing more liberal dis
position to invest their capital in local |
This display of conf |
dence in the future of the place on the |
part of the ones who have moneysto
invest, naturally inspires confidence
with all classes, and foretells rapid
growth during the next few years. The
Ines ION the inside" say that 1907
will unquestionably be the most pros
porous year in the history of the place
md their opinion is founded on the
present condition of the phosphate
market.
1t is reported here, that through the
of local capitalists, num-
Ter of prominent financiers of the
North and East are now being inter-
sted In the Mt. Pleasant phosphate
elds and other resources of this sec s
ion, and that these gentlemen will
isit Mt. Pleasant at an early date for {
ne purpose OF investigating the sit +
alton, and If they find everything sat Z
'factory, will at once make large in 7
estments here. The gentlemen, II q
leased, it is said, will not confine 4
leir investments to phosphate lands, n
mber lands and farms, but will es-
Iblish number of manufacturing en-
'rprises and use every effort to build
. the town and develop the surround
g territory.
While here last week Mr.. M. E.
'heeler, of Vermont, purchased the NJ
d Altmeyer home on South Main
rect from Mrs. ]. w. Jones, paying
800 therefor. The same piece of G
operty was offered in the real es- la
te market about eighteen months OF
% for 81 500. 1t,
R. B. Cooper sold his lot in Park De
ace, on which a fine bed of rock was fu
scovered to Messrs. Figuers, Howard st

1t Is stated that the company which
has been organized here to build the
new post Office and opera house build
ing where the old post office building
now stands, is arranging to increase
the capital stock first proposed and to
purchase an adjoining lot. If this is
done the size of the building will be
very NATURALLY increased. The stock
first agreed upon has all been sub
scribed and if it is decided to increase
1t, there will be no troEble in securing
additional subscriptions.
Mr. S. B. Locke has commenced the
erection of his new home on First

Besides the large amount Of build
