A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
Auction Sale of Lots in Lemann Addi-
ton Announced for Dec. 6.

= An event Of exceptional interest
and Importance is scheduled TO take
place in Donaldsonville Thursday of
next week, Dec. 6, when there will be
big auction sale of lots in the Lee
mann Addition. Thousands of pos
tiers and other advertising matter pro-
claiming the sale have been distri-
buted broadcast throughout this sec
tlon, and it is certain there will be a
large attendance.
A cane field less than eight years
ago, the Lemann Addition is today
the fastest-growing section of Donald
sonville. Never in the history of the
community have so many modern and
expensive homes been built in one To-
cality;, never have real estate values
increased so rapidly as there Those
who bought lots at the previous sale
have either realized or been offered a
handsome profit on their investment,
and the development of the property
is as yet in the primary stage. The
nelghborhood is manifestly destined
to become the city's principal resi-
Dental section, and a purchase of the
lots to be offered at the Forthcoming
sale is not only an absolutely safe in
vestment, but is sure to yield hand
some returns.
The South Louisiana Fair grounds
border the Lemann Addition on the
south, in one direction, and magni-
ficent gravel road running through
the addition connects the enclosure
with the hard-suffaced highway along
the river which marks the northern
boundary of the addition. Paved
sidewalks, electric lights and water
works are other modern improve
ments Of which the locality boasts.
Within few minutes walk of the
heart of the city, yet sufficiently dis
tant to afford a degree of privacy
and seclusion greatly to be desired,
the Lemann Addition is ideally To-
Gated as site for ones home, and Of
fers advantages in this respect that
can not be approached by any other
portion of the city.
Never has a more attractive real
estate proposition been offered in this
section. You stand on each lot as it
is put up for sale and see exactly
what you buy, and the terms are ex-
ceedingy liberal, being one-fifth
down and the balance payable at the
rate of SIS lot per month, with s per
cent interest. Positive assurance is
given that the bidding will be bona
fde-that is, there will be no running
up of prices by persons interested IN
the property-and each lot will be
sold for what it brings. This is in
deed remarkable opportunity to Sc
cure high-class property at your own
price Fortunes have been made in
real estate; here is chance to lay the
foundation for future prosperity.
Far-seeing persons will not fail to take
advantage of it.
The sale will be conducted by A.
Harris, one of the best-known and
most successful real estate auc-
tioneers in the south, who handled the
previous sale Of lots in the Lemann
Addition. Mr.. Harris processes his
ability to dispose Of "a lot minute
and those who saw him in action Oh
the occasion of the last sale stand con-
yinced that he can not only fulfill this
claim, but can even better the record
should occasion demand.
Free automobiles will leave the bus
mess section Of the city for the Lem
ann Addition at 10 q. m. The crack
Claiborne Williams brass band will
render music before and during the
sale. Everybody is invited to attend,
whether they bid, buy or not.
