WILL GIVE AWAY THREE
BUILDING LOTS
Bell Tract Will Be Put On
Market.
Opportunity to Get Lots
Within Thr, e Blocks
of High School.

Americus has new and progressive
enterprise in the South Americus Re
atty Company, of which Mr.. B. f.
Arthur, of Union, S. c., is the moving
spirit. AS has been announced in the
Times-Recorder, Mr.. Arthur recently
acquired the Howard, Bahnsen and
Marion Bell tracts of suburban prop
erty, lying in the southern edge of the
city, at the extension of Lee street and
Elm avenue.
These lands lie directly in the road
that Americus is rapidly developing.
The entire trend of the city's growth
is directly toward them, and it has
been apparent for some time that
eventually they would become the site
of many homes. 1t has only been a
question as to who would take them in
hand for development along these
lines.
Mr. Arthur has decided to have an
auction sale of the Marion Bell prop
erty at very early date, which will
be announced in the Times-Recorder.
This Bell property fronts on Elm
avenue and Glessner street, leading to
the main building of the Agricultural
College, and is situated but three
blocks from the handsome new High
School building now approaching COM
pleton.
This property has already been laid
off in nice wide streets, and there are
good dwellings adjoining it. 1t is a
high, dry, well drained site for resi-
dences and will be eventually one of
the most delightful home sections Of
Americus.
No deeds to any of this property
will be made to colored people. The
entire property will be reserved for
white residents. The terms of the sale
will be very easy and attractive, thus
enabling the investor, speculator or
home-seeker to realize a handsome ad-
vance before the last payment is made,
as result of the improvements that
will be in progress in that section of
the city.
Everyone recognizes that Americus
is destined to have a substantial, even
speedy, growth in the next year or
two, and within a few years will have
tremendous jump in population
Land values are bound to materially
advance. Level headed men will avail
themselves of opportunities to get
sites for homes or for investment be-
fore there has been any further en-
hancement of values.
Mr.. Arthur has decided to give away
three lots, that is, the proceeds of the
sale of two handsome building lots
will be donated as follows
Of one to the Americus Hospital AS
sociation, of another to the Americus
Base Ball Club, while the third lot
will go to the fortunate individual, at
tending the sale, without any condition
whatever aud under no obligation to
buy another lot-a genuine gift with
out conditions. Every white person at
the sale will have an opportunity to
secure this valuable lot.
Mr.. Arthur has not yet announced
his plans for the development of the
Howard and Bahnsen tracts. An
nouncement as to them is expected
later.
The full details of the program for
the disposition of the Bell property
will be awaited with interest by the
general public.

New Building Needed.

The report of the executive COM
mittee showed that during the year
the last of the Indebtedness on the
hospital building was paid and it 3
now the property of the ASSOCIATE IN
without any encumbrance. The pres
ent building, though, is poorly adapt
ed to the needs of hospital and it is
the desire. of the association to soon
put the building on the market and
secure offers of lots suitable for a
site for new hospital building that
will be modern in every respect and
with ample grounds about it.
1t is probable that in a very short
time steps will be taken to this end
and vigorous campaign for subscrip-
tions begun. A special building com
mittee has been appointed that will
have this in charge, composed of Mrs.
Edward Mathis, Mrs. S. H. Mckee and
Mrs. R. L. Maynard
1t IS believed a satisfactory price
can be secured for the present struc-
ture, which is we'll adapted for a pri-
yite "esidence, and that the public
support for the new venture will be
sufficient to justify this great forward
step being taken this year. The calls
for accommodation will increase with
every year, a modern, thoroughly
equipped hospital would draw pay pa
tients here, and there is no doubt tha,
it would before many years become d
self-sustaning institution.
Fortunate in Nurses.

who has been superintendent of the
hospital for two years, has been high.

Recently there were added to tht
staff two graduate nurses from St

Gratifying Progress.

The reports presented by the pres,
ident and other officers were all oi
an exceedingly gratifying character
showing that the institution has done
remarkable good work during the
year and proved of incalcuIable ser
vice to many who were ILL., The recor

During the year there were tair
five pay patients accommodated at

gave their services to the free pa

During the short time they have

nurses have answered sixteen calls

on one or more occasions the calls
