S? THE tide of dwellings is
sweeping out over the
hill beyond the May's
cottage down the Linden
Road towards the War
ing plantation. It has
never abated since Mr.
M. B. Johnson gave it
impetus with his stately
white columns, and it swells with suffi
cient speed to satisfy even the bulls in
the real estate market and to fulfill the
guesses of the prophets of prosperity.
Mr. McNab sold his lot on Village
Green East between the Fownes residence
and the Girls' School to W. W. Fuller
of Xew York and Briarcliff Manor. Con
sideration not stated, but understood to
be a substantial increase over the original
purchase price.
Town lot No. 313, on the corner of Fry
Road and McCaskill Road on the hill
beyond the Rosemary cottage directly
back of the residence in process of con
struction for A. T. DeMott, sold to C. L.
Bansher, New York.
Mr. Bansher has already planned the
construction of a two story house to be
built of hollow tile stucco, of generous
proportions and artistic design.
It is always of interest to know how
people conclude to cast their lot on any
given plot of the broad earth's surface.
Mr. Bansher is a retired merchant, at one
time the controlling genius in the firm
of C. L. Bancher & Co., leading cotton
merchants in the city of New York. We
are informed that some time ago he had
determined to find him the most suitable
place possible in which to build a Winter
home in the South. That he had been
making extensive search in Florida and
the Seaboard, and about made up his
mind when his son Harry Bancher, who
is well known in the village, prevailed on
him to take one look at this neighbor
hood before the die was cast. He arrived
on Tuesday. On Thursday the transac
tion was complete.
Sold to H. F. Noyes of New York the
lot adjoining C. L. Bancher 's. This lot
was ordered by telegraph, a direct conse
quence of the previous purchase.
Sold to Judge Sanford H. Steele of
Brooklyn lot No. 208, adjoining these
two other properties, on Fry and McCas
kill Roads. Judge Steel is one of the
best known and most respected of all
the clan that for many years have been
coming to the Carolina, a leading figure in
the village, for many years one of New
York's leading legal figures.
Sold to Warren Bicknell and Alva
Bradley, of Cleveland, Ohio, two lots
comprising an entire block on Shaw and
Fry Roads, south of the A. J. DeMott
place.
Sold to the firm of Priest and Newcomb
a lot adjoining these others, upon which
'Hie Difference to lr
The
commercial aspects of the rmr
chase of a few acres of land is important
to owners of adjoining property. It lends
security to an investment, and value to
security, and wings to unearned incre
ment. It is a high stimulant to business,
and a cause of rejoicing on the rialto.
But these considerations are pale and
feeble, and of the most transcient interest
compared with the enormous influence the
coming of so many cultivated and pleas
ant families into the village has upon the
community. The acquisition of a dollar
is a useful if stupid thing on rainy days.
But the advent of a friend and a neigh
bor, the genial warmth of adjoining fire
sides, a fourth at the daily game of golf
and new members in the neighborhood
council strike at the very basis of
existence.
It has been truly said that no scene is
so beautiful, no harmony so exquisite, no
climate so balmy or odor so fragrant that
a man can enjoy it alone.
The only joy we get out of the rolling
links and the whispering pines, the cattle
grazing on the hill and the thoroughbreds
tearing down the stretch is sharing it
with our neighbors. Neighbors make the
dance and the songs and the games. The
business and the courting. The joy of
our garden and the reward for our labors.
If any woman, setting up her range
and her roses, her household gods and
her domestic banner in a new vicinity was
aware of the keen interest and hope and
friendliness with which her coming filled
the hearts of her neighbors, she would be
profoundly flattered. That we extend to
these newcomers a welcome is a self evi
dent platitude. The progress of our lives
and our thought, our appreciation of the
village and time and country we live in
may very well be in their hands. Friends,
we salute you!

Mr. John C. Spring who has made the
trip North in his automobile reports that
the best road to take from here to
Raleigh is by way of Jonesboro, Lilling
ton and Fuquay Springs. This is making
a detour from the old road from South
ern Pines to Raleigh up along the Sea
board Air Line, which has always been
for some miles a bunker in the auto pro
gress. The alternative this Fall was the
National route by Fayetteville, but that
is a very material distance out of the
way. This new road shortens the distance
by many miles, and according to report
is very fair.- The only thing travellers
bv machine will have to contend with is
a lack of signs. Of course these will
shortly be supplied. But in the mean
time the country people are courteous and
obliging, and the trip should be done
with very little trouble.
