Favorable replies ,are being daily received by Dr. Banks as a result of a large number of personal letters written to friends in other states, in viting them to come to Eustis to in vestigate conditions here, and in at least one instance, funds have been sent with which to purchase residen tial property in the city, leaving the matter of selection of sites to the judgment of Dr. Banks. Harry Ferran recently purchased four lots in the Banks subdivision overlooking Lake Gracie. Before leaving for his home in Atlanta, Dr. Alexander Stirling purchased a lot and anounced his intention to build a winter home in Eustis and make his permanent home here after he re tires from active practice, which he expects to do at an early date. A total of eight lots have been sold in the original allotment, according to Dr. Banks.
