LANCASTER'S RED LETTER
DAY.
The Big Auction Sale of Su-
burban Lots Wednesday--
Lancastrians Demonstrate
their Faith in the Towns
Promising Future.

Promising Future.
AS predicted by The News,
the auction sale of suburban lots
here Wednesday, conduc, ed by
BroFer j. Edgar Poag, OF Rock
Hill, proved to be the biggest
lhng OF the kind within the his
Iory ol Lancaster. And it is
Ge tined TO have an import ant
bearing on the towns future,
for 1T has been the experience
OF otner communities hayin O
similar sales that a new i'm
petus. was given to material
development, followed by a
marked enhancement in real
estate values.
Wednesdays big sale was
held in the Catholic grove and
was attended 10y several hun.
dred persons, many being pre-
sent from uoighborlug counties.
The pleasing faces OF a hundred
or more ladies-an unusual but
weJc me sight at a land sale
added grace AID charm t. the
OCCASION. The auctioneer was
Mr.. b. w Getsinger, man
who thoroughly understands his
business. He was as sted by
Mr.. w. p. Stogner, Lancaster's
well known and efficient crier.
a good brass band dispensed
lively airs at intervals during
the sale, which lasted for sever
al hours. Retire 'hments were
served by the ladies, for The be.
nefit of one of the churches, at
midday.
The property sold was 81
acres of Messrs Gregory and
Ferguson's valuable farm east of
town, which had been cut up
into about $50 lots, facing on
streets or alleys, as heretofore
described in The News, everv lot
being sold and at good price.
The figures ranged all the way
from $3.50 to $117. so per lot,
the average size OF lot being
aOout one-fifth of an acre. The
total sa' amounted 10 about
$4,000. Il number of prizes,
suit cases, parasols, haas, etc,
were given with many lots Two
lots were given away, being
drawn ior by numbers. The
holders of the winning tickets
were Miss Leila Gregory aud Mr..
I. Nj. Beik.
Among the purchasers were
business and professional men
and prominent farmers-all of
whom showed a just apprecia-
ton OF the value OF Lancaster
dirt and full confidence in the
towns bright and promising fu-
ture. While all the lots brought
fair prices for the original own
ers, they are undoubtedly cheap
at the figures at which they we're
knocked down. Everv purchas
or got a bargain Within "a
hours after the sale some OF the
lots changed owners at an ad-
vance of from 25 to so per cent
on the original price-and the
advance in value is going to con.
tinue. A number of The pur
chasers are going to build res
licences on their lots at an early
day.
