BOTH BIRTHDAY IS
 CELEBRATED BY A
 LINEVILLE CITIZEN

Lineville, July S.-fSpecial )-Sur- rounded by eight living children. twen- ty-eight of his fifty-five grandchil- dren and eight of his twenty-six great grandchildren. William D. Haynes of this city celebrated his ninetieth birth, day at Clairmont Springs on July 5. This great and good man has eighty nine living children. grandchildren and great grandchildren, and of this number fifty-four were present on this grand and glorious occasion to pay tribute to father and grandfather.
 Mir. Haynes has not lived as long in years as methuselah, but he has lived in the most important era of the worlds history, and has, no doubt, seen more of life than did the oldest man. When he first saw the light of day in Greene county, Georgia, on July ). 1850, Andrew Jackson was serving his sec ond year as President of the United States. and George Washington had been dead less than thirty-one years. In early childhood his parents removed to the Liberty community in Tallade- ga. now Clay county, but while still a young man he came to Linevlle, where he has since been actively engaged suc- cessively in farming, the mercantile business and banking.

|ABUY ALOT NOW" IS SLOGAN OF REALTORS

Buy a Lot Now" will be the slogan of Birmingham Real Estate Exchange. This was adopted at the weekly lunch con yesterday. Robert Jemison, Jerome Tucker and A. c. Montgomery spoke in favor of campaign along this line.
 Letters were read to the exchange from the city commission and the city engIneer. These letters offered the CO.,
 operation of the commission and the engineer in bringing city zoning to Bir-
 mingham.
 Robert Jemison spoke in favor of a
 Buy Lot Now" advertising cam paian. "T.Iere is no reason why we should not sell vacant lots, he said Lots are lower in Birmingham than | in any other city in the country of its l size Their value is bound to increase when building material goes down and building starts.
 | Real estate is the soundest invest ment in the world and people who want to save money can do no better
 than by buying lot.
 Lots in Birmingham are very low in price," said Jerome Tucker. In other 1 cities they are bringing about two and
 half tines as much money We are
 doing a person d favor when we sell | him a lot at the present prices. Next year he will thank us for giving him | the opportunity to invest his money
 so wisely
 A. C. Montgomery told how to de- velop vacant property, giving in illus
 tration the plan tried out in Macon, Ga. | With the high price of building ma 1 terial, building is dropping off The way to build is by cooperation. Tn Macon, the merchants and financiers 1 each took a block of three lots and built house on ore or them. The cost | of building with the high price of ma terial was brought back by the in- creased value of the other two lots.
