House eRent Cheapefs
The renters OF houses In Selma are re-
5oicing over the fact that In all prob
ability houses will rent cheaper during
the coming year than they have for
many years.
Indications seem to bear out this fact
and the renters OF homes In the city.
are not closing contracts for the COM
ing year. There are more houses to
rent In Selma than there has ever been
before. and this Is taken by the renters
as and indication that rent for the
coming year will be cheaper. Placards
Of House for Rent" are seen on nearly
every street In the city. and where In
years past there has always been q
rush for vacant houses. this year there
are more houses than there are de-
mands for them.
During the past few years there have
been built In all parts of the city
large number Of houses that have been
rented. The renters in large numbers
have built homes and as each renter
butt his own homo one OF the houses
rented became vacant. The growth
OF the city has not been large during
the past year.

ella, Ga, reached Selma last night in
