REAL ESTATE IN DENMARK.


REAL ESTATE IN DENMARK.
Lots Being Sold and Some Residences
Erected.
Denmark, November denmark
| had a fine frost the morning OF the
sixth. It is said to be the first, and
marks the line of demarcation be-
tween fall and winter. The season
Of cane grinding, sausage& and head
cheese, with the charming &crispy at
mosphere of this section, is upon US,
and seems to put new life to business
and enterprise. Now that the elec-
tions are over there is nothing to do
but Ito get busy" be happy, and
make everybody else feel 50.
This city is fast changing it's appear
ance. The opening of West Denmark
streets is making that addition to
look like a city, and when all of the
lots in that addition are sold, Den
mark will be more than twice as
large as it now Is. East Denmark Is
pretty well built up. There are but
few vacant lots in that section, and
it is said to be almost impossible to
find a vacant house.
The promoters of West Denmark
have demonstrated what street i'm
provement will do to help business.
They have opened and graded four
streets from the center Of the city to
the Barnwell road, besides other
cross streets running North and
South. Already about one hundred
and fifty lots have been sold, and
some of them are being improved.
| Among the Improvements spoken OF
on the streets is an office building
on that fine lot near the Denmark
Hotel. Some of the citizens are advo-
eating the purchase of sufficient land
in West Denmark for city park.
In this day of civic improvements
every community should anticipate
it's need and growth by making pro-
vision for their beauty spots which
have been 80 aptly termed the lungs
of a city"
Parks have helped to make cities,
contributing to their health, beauty
and general desirabiity as residences.
Denmark needs restaurant, with
quick lunch counter, at the union
station, where travellers passing
through the city may be served.
Those who stop any time are well
provided for at the Denmark Hotel,
but the late trains. after hotel meal
hours are over, would furnish good
patronage for such an enterprise.
There is some talk of the erection
&of an opera house in West Denmark,
with stores on the railroad front. 1t
is expected that with the removal OF
the water tank near the union station
and the opening up and improvement
of the streets near the station some
very substantial improvements will
follow. This is indicated by the pur-
chase of several blocks of lots in that
vicinity recently.
Among the recent improvements,
conspicuous from the car windows,
is the handsome home of Mr.. c. r.
Hooton, the manager of the Denmark
telephone exchange. He is building
on four lots corner Of Cedar Avenue
and Sixth street, in West Denmark.
[Opposite to him, across Cedar Ave
nue., Mr.. Speed Ray will soon build.
At the other end of the same block,
fronting on Fifth street, Mr.. j. w.
Lancaster has purchased five beauti-
full lots. Messrs. H. w. Goolsby and
(C. A. Calhoun have each bought
a block in Pine Avenue and
Fourth street. They will be
1Nfc
each other on Fourth. It Is said
that these gentlemen contemplate
building homes at an early day. y
Among those who are firm believ-
ers in the future of this city and in
Denmark dirt" as an investment are
Messrs. Garris & Corbett, the big
lumber dealers They are said to
have made some large purchases late
Fly, and Mr. Garris, it is said, has Sc
cured one of the prettiest blocks In
West Denmark for residence site.
| At the request of several of the
most influential and thriving OF the
colored citizens, about one hundred
and fifty lots at the Southern end OF
West Denmark have been reserved for
their exclusive use. They are also in
vesting literally, and 1t goes without
saying that as soon as a colored per-
son becomes an owner of real estate
he becomes a better citizen and a
helper in good government and good
laws and their enforcement.
Denmark is a candidate for home
purchasers and promoters of new en-
terprises, and points with pride to
her record as a moral community, a
city of churches and schools, and a
bidder for business. HUSTLER.
