OYER vested In real estate. New adj
lttcns TO our city and plans Of lots
been laid of in every direction.
q Iiiany cases all the lots had been
pirehased BY Individuals expecting to
selt sat an advance IN price before the
Referred payments on their lots be-
ctirie due. Conditions grew from bad
p8worse, activity in real estate be.
came less and less, everybody predict,
ed that values in Fairmont real es,
tate had become too much inflated,
and that there would be no further az.
ttytty in Fairmont real estate until
prices sought a lower level. Thos=
who mad anticipated buying proper
ties, concluded that they would wait
until the prices OF properties reached
their lowest ebb. They have waited
and have prophesied for almost four
years that they would buy cheaper
before properties advanced in value.
This sort Of sentiment became so
general that 1t was out of the ques-
q tion to sell real estate. TlIs sort OF
sentiment, l believe, prevailed gener-
ally over the country. For the past
three or four months conditions have
been strengthened. Buyers have about
concluded that they could not buy
property cheaper by waiting longer.
For some time before the election the
4 only reason given for no action in real
estate, was that they would wait un-
TIL after the election. I began making
an. effort to sell properties, advertise
Fairm1nt real estate, and looking for
j buyers.
/ have found that buyers are ready
for action that they do not anticipate
prices becoming lower, but that they
feel conditions becoming very much
better in Fairmont. Ordinarily men
do not buy real estate or make any
+ new ventures so late in the season.
or during the winter, but people who
want 10 buy real estate, believe that If
thep put off action until spring 1t will
he costly delay to them.

YOUNG MEN:
How can you get ahead in the world IL
you spend all your wages?
In the Navy the pay Is good and the
chance to save has been the making of
many a young man. All kinds of work, in
Guiding many trades, make life in the Navy
interesting and enjoyable.
The intelligent man thinks of what he
saves and not what he gets. The careless
man wastes his money on pleasure. In the
Navy there are interesting cruises, minstrel
shows, athletic games and plenty of time
for recreations all the year around which
cost little or nothing.
In the Navy your pay is practically all
clear.
II you enlist without a trade you get the
benefit of a free training. You will get
paid from the start and have free board,
free lodging. a siXty-dollar outfit and medi-
cal attention free.
II you know a trade you get higher wages
to begin with; the apprentice has a chance
to make himself a master at his trade.
Life in the Navy is not all work. There
are many interesting lessons and drills
there are also generous hours free for
recreation, study or sport. Most ships have
base ball and foot ball, rowing crews, min
strel troupes etc.
