INTERESTING AND CONVINCING HISTORY Over $7,500 worth of 18 1-2 acres of old field in the corporate limits of Selma has been sold since September, 1903. In 1900 the owner wanted to borrow $300 and offered this 18 1-2 acres as security-first mortgage. The secur ity was turned down as not ample, and was estimated to be worth $200 if deeded. At least one-third of it remains unsold. Upon that part sold today stand buildings and im provements that cannot be bought for sixty to seventy thousand dollars. The Methodists and Baptists have Churches here costing about $25,000. Some of this 18 1-2 acres will be offered for sale on Sept. 30th. The Barrow land sold about fifteen years ago for $10 per acre. The most undesirable part sold a short time ago at $450 per acre, where the Ethel Cotton Mills now stand, and other buildings. Dr. Person owns part of a tract of land that sold about fifteen years ago for $600. He paid $4,000 for a part of it about three years ago. He has an offer of $7,000 for the farm. Mr. Allison Driver bought a farm four years ago for $4,500. He recently sold it for $11,000. Mr. Winston bought one NONE SUCH COTTAGE JD Eight Rooms Finished, Two Attic Rooms Unfinished. Woodshed.

CI ESJ fourth of a block for $40. He was offered $1,000 for it, refused and now has a handsome ten to twelve thousand dollar residence on it. Just across the street Sheriff Nowell has a vacant lot that he will not take less than a thousand dollars for. He has been offered $700 for it. Cost $260 with a cottage on it. Cottage $ m: has been removed. ?115 per acre was paid for the Academy Grounds 10 years ago. The same land now sells for $3.50 to S4.00 per front foot. These figures 2^ are picked up at random and cover a large territory and are not "specials" or pets. On the same blocks where land will be offered on the 30th of September EjJ $60 per front foot has been refused and this for a vacant lot. 1910 will witness more dirt covered with brick buildings than during any three years of the histo- ? rr; C& ry of the town. Evidently we have passed the teething or mushroom growth period of the town; therefore there is no risk in buying. Facts, Undeniable $ if. Facts. Investigate for Yourselves. ^ VI? * Jg The above described property, a good many vacant residence lots and some business lots right in the (<shad- jjj /? ou;" large brick buildings now being erected will be sold to the highest bidder on above date, Sept. 30th. J\f. This property is so well known and co desirable that it is not necessary to offer a free lot, a bag of money, ft Oi or a brass band to induce buyers. Knowing however that we will have a big crowd at this, our first sale, and ?) ft in order to give all a good day of enjoyment we expect to have music and besides will give away over one m hundred useful and lasting presents. You may get one. Some one will, and so on until the 100 are all S given away. We want to make this a record breaker in the real estate business of Johnston County, ff] S ? * I . j(? Come and bring some one with fit you. These presents are intended yi as souvenirs of this great sale and Mj will be here long after all of us Jj have "crossed over the river." 55 We will sell on one block six #2 Very Valuable Residence Lots. 1 Remember these two facts. The ^ population is increasing every day ? but no more land is being made, 82 and "opportunity is now knocking 'ii at your door" for the last time so far as this property is concerned. f] "A word to the wise is sufficient." vt ? 41 SELMA'8 WELL KNOWN HOTEL.

Or to the cash buyer 9 fZ we will discount the deferred payment 2 per cent, equal to loaning money at 8 per cent, thus giving the man with limited means ? Sj an opportunity as well as the business man. We wish to see the entire county represented here this day. You come. It may S not be generally known that the question of water works, electric lights and a street car line connecting Smithfield, Selma JH Ir and Pine Level is being discussed. When this is done it will be hard to tell what this property situated on the proposed line 2J 38 will be worth. All together now for a Greater Smithfield. A Greater Selma, Pine Level included.
