City and Farm Loans Indicate Improvements

We are placing many mortgage loans on new houses, which. due to our ad- vantageous connection with large insur- ance company, we are able to make for as long as fifteen years and at low rates.
 We are also placing many mortgage loans on farms throughout Alabama. Thes loans are to be used for diversified tion, for stocking Alabama farms with high grade live stock and preparing the farm for engaging in stock raising and other forms Sof diversification. These indicate determination on the part of, many farmers to plant less cotton and raise more foodstuffs and live stock. !. All this. in our opinion. indicates better future conditions and more prosperous city and state industrially, aRriculturaIly and commercially.

More Activity In Residential Property

Hope for improvement in the building situation is indicated by the increasing activity in the market for vacant residen- tial property. The market for some time has been good with a steady improvement being shown. The inquiries for invest ment property are also on the upward grade. Some of this is doubtless due to the realization on the part of the invest- ors of the safety and almost certain en- hancement in value of realty investments through shrinkage of values and depres- Many people who have lost money sion in certain lines of business are now placing their surplus funds in real estate.

KONORING OUR DEAD

Our attention has been called sew
eral times recently by people who
have occasion to get out over the
parish to the fact that a few of our
rural burying grounds could be i'm:
proved in appearance if little atten-
ton was. given to cutting weeds and
fixing fences. 1t is a debt each COM
muniy owes those who have gone
ahead, and nowhere is carelessness
less excusable than in cemeteries that
are permitted to become overrun with
weeds ard briars. If those who have
relatives or friends buried in one of
these grave yards would set aside a
day each month, and all hands join in
weed-cutting ard fence-fixing, these
little "cities of the dead" could be
kept in excellent condition though
out the enteire year. If once month
is too often, then try it once every two
months. At any rate, don't neglect it
altogether. Remember that it dosen't
either look well or speak well for any
community that neglects to take care
of the graves of its departed.
