MONEY in REAL
ESTATE HSAFE
Auction of Kelly Property Causes
~ p Discussion

Possibly most people overlook the
! fact that real estate a. the present
time the cheapest thing money can
buy. If you will run oevr in your
mind the prices of various commodi-
ties as they were three or four years
ago, and the present prices OF the
same articles, you will realize the
fact that there has been tremendous
increase in all. In fact there can be
no doubt that you have already reali-
zed it Cotton is worth two or three
times what it was then; corn and
wheat twice as much; sugar, meat
! shoes, clothing, fuel,-all these things
have gone up, up until they are selling
at prices far higher than before.
Everything you can think of has in
creased in value as measured by the
dollar, with the possible exception OF
real estate. Land, where it has adj
vanced at all, has advanced very little.
Now the time is coming when all
these other things will experience a
! decline. When the exegiences of war
have passed prices will slump. There
is no question about that Cotton
corn, meats, sugar, shoes, fuel, and
all will come tumbling down. But
real estate will never be as cheap
again as it is right now.
Therefore, the wise man will put
his money in land, getting ready for
! the time when the end Of the wal
and the restoration of the world S
balances will make land more valua
Bile, instead of less. Real estate does
not lose value with age; it cannot
take wings and fly away; it needs no
insurance against fire; thieves cannot
break in and steal it away.
The man who bets his money on
real estate in the United States is
3sure to win. This applies to all sec
lions Of the country, but to a few so
forcibly, and to none more forcibly
than to Southern Georgia This sec
ton is destined to become the most
sought for, the most productive, the
most prosperous section of this coun.
try. The end of the present war will
see rush to the south, equalling
that to the west which followed the
civil war And Southern Georgia,
with her rich lands and unsurpassed
climate,4will reap big share from the
harvest of men and dollars u
And where in Southern Georgia is
a spot likely to profit more abundantly
