closed negotiations for the purchase of
the Pink Beds property and the tract is
now being surveyed.
This land lies in Henderson and Tran

about 20. 900 acres in the tract, and it is
one OF finest properties in Western North
Carolina. portion of the land is in
the form of the bed of a lake, where grass
will grow to an extra height. The con
struction of small dam would make a
lake five miles long and two or three
miles wide.
This magnificent property was pur-
chased by DIR. Battle for a company OF
gentlemen, whose purpose DR.. Battle
would not disclose when he gave THE
CITIZEN the information printed above.
His reference to the lake is, however, un'
| derStood by some as meaning that
! splendid hotel is to be erected with
| parks, lake and pleasure grounds of va
| rious kinds surrounding it.
The price paid for the land could not
