GERMANY CALLS OUT
j. HER RESERVE CORPS
TOWN COMMONS OWNERS
must GET A MOVE ON
AFTER JANUARY FIRST coNvER-
SIONs TO FEE SIMPLE WILL
BE MORE DIFFICULT.

Inquiry at the city hall develops
the fact that nearly two thirds of
the holders of leases to Town Com
mons have filed their applications
according to law, to have their leases
converted into fee simple titles.
1t is probable that nearly all hold
ers will avail themselves of their
rights before the year expires.
After January l, 1913, such holders
will have only such privileges as the
mayor and council may grant. The
charter amendment provided that the
city should bear all expense in the
making up of the deeds, and limited
the cost on long term leases to 2
per cent of the assessed value, ac-
cording to 1911 assessment, with the
farther proviso that such holders
avail themselves of these rights be-
fore the first Of January, 1913.
After that date the mayor and
council have the risnt 10 SCH eith~i
to the holder, or the fee in reversion
to any other person at public out
cry Council may at its discretion
pass ordinances that will permit the
conversion into fee, but if such be
done the cost of making up the deed,
ETC., would probably be added, and
the consideration would hardly be
for such a, nominal price as per
cent. The present opportunity there
fore is one that the thoughtful per-
son should not neglect, as under no
contingency that can be foreseen, will
the cost of conversion be as low af-
ter January 1, 1913, as it now.

that compares, in every detail, with
the best to be had in Savannah, At
lanta Or the other larger cities Of
the state, and the people Of Bruns-
wick need not in the future go out
of the city for first class work. The
holiday rush has already begun and

SMOOTH YOUNG MEN DISPOSE
OF $4,000 WORTH OF CON.

Gain Entrance to Society of Village
and Dressed in Fine Raiment and
With Clever Manner Made Their
Game Easy in the Playing.

Palatka, Nov. Beautifully en-
grayed bonds of the American Con
crete Steel Railway Tie company pay
ing 'steen Fer centum annually, have
found ready market among Cres-
cent City capitalists during the past
month. These bonds were sold by
two very plausible young men In
fine raiment with cunning social ac-
complishments that readily put them
next to all who have seemed to dote
ON refinement and art having a place
in the vulgar every day business af-
fairs of life:
These young men manipulated un-
der the cognomina of NJ w. Cozart
and D. J. Marshall, and they had
apartments at the Hotel de Grove
hall. The former once lived near
Seville, where his father was shot
full of holes by an enemy he was
| trying to get, but who instead got
him. That was 23 or more years
go. bat the standing of the fatnei
made it easy for our young bond SELL
er to gain entrance to society, and
many old friends of the FAMILY
vouched for him, thus making his
game easier in the playing
1t is estimated that here and al
Seville these men sold something like
$4,000 in the bonds of their com
pany" for the most OF which they
were paid cash.
Through the energy and foresight
of Cashier King of the Bank of Cres
cent City, an investigation was set in
motion through the mails and by wire
and it was learned last week that
there was no such company in exis
| tence as the American Concrete

company of similar name was once

that Marshall was its president; that
