Land values are increasing very
rapidly as the system of good roads
reaches into the different parts of
Sumter county and all who are inter-
ested should Investigate and buy at
once. In many instances recent sales
have been made at an advance of 100
to 300 per cent over the purchase
price few years ago. Lands can
now be had from $40 to 500 per acre,
according to location, desirability of
the soil and so forth The prices are.
yet very cheap and the advance Will
continue steadily in the years to come
The average business man thinks he
has done we'll if he clears 7 IL per
cent. on his investment and large
majority are willing to take less Now
an up-to-date, intelligent and scien-
tific farmer, with energy. can make
Sumter county lands pay handsomely
so as a business proposition it is ap-
parent that values must continue to-
advance.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-12-31

To the resident in the city not engag-
ed in farming there is the pleasure
that is derived from the use of the
roads for automobiling. Such advant-
ages and direct financial benefits are
more than a compensation for all ex-
penditures made along this line.
While the good road work has been
prosecuted SO extensively and so Wig
orously, there has been no increase
IN taxation, and, as stated, there has
been no borrowing of money in any
manner to meet the expenses. Pru-
dent management of the countys fl
nances have permitted of the work
without this With a bond issue, it is
true, a vastly greater mileage could
nave been constructed, and the feeling
= FAVOR Of such a bond issue is very
st ong and growing. The near future
will probably see it, and then there
will be a more rapid extension of the
work than has yet been possible. Sum-
ter is in the peculiarly fortunate DO
s1tlon Of not having a single dollar
OF Indebtedness of any kind, having
no bonds outstanding and no liabil-
tiles to banks or individuals, one of
the few counties of which such Il
statement can be made It's bonds
would be eagerly snapped up at I
good price

the story of good roads in Sumter far

great assets that draw to this favor
