Real estate business in Decatur keeps up to a high level, though there has been no rush and though most of the deals of the last three or four weeks have been comparatively small. Dealers every week report a large number of sales of residence properties, all of them at good prices. This is just another indication of Decatur's growth, nevsr incre-marked than It Is now.

The enormous lead of 3910 over 1909 in realty deals is not due merely to the large deals that been made since the heavy fire losses of last year. They are due In a large measure to the rapidly increasing population. The census of 1910 will show Decatur to have a population of about 35,000. a few more, possibly a few less.
