McMillin Bought the Parsons Prop
erty and MIR. H. C. Cunningham the
NeidIinger Property at Liberty
and DraytOn Streets-Several De-
sirabIe Residences Sold.
Sales day yesterday proved to be phe-
nomenal, both in the quantity and value
of the property disposed of, as well as in
the size of the crowd in attendance. The
real estate men agreed in saying that it
was the largest crowd which has attended
the monthly sales in years and it was also
stated that the amount of property dis
posed Of was greater than on any sales day
during the last five years. This, too, in
the face Of the fact that several valuable
pieces of property, which had been adver-
tised, were Withdrawn, the agents believ-
ing that they could dispose CT the proper
ties TO better advantage at private sale.
The custom of every auctioneer
selling at the same time. all
punched close together, and each crying
the pieces of property which he had in
hand to the best of his ability and lung
power, was seen at its best advantage,
and its worst A bidder who was inter-
ested In more than one piece of property
had hard time in keeping track of what
was going on and outsiders, who were en-
deavoring to keep up with the whole pro-
cesslon, were simply lost. With three auc-
tioneers and the sheriff each crying valua-
BILE pieces of property at the same time
and numerous persons bidding, the scene
was peculiar and interesting one.
