was made by C. W. Mccoy, representing
the eastern company that owned the
property. The place was bought by the
Suites sisters on account Of its location.

on the lots, but the new owners expect
to remove this and build a fine resi-
dence and make OF the place a future
home. This property is the fifty feet and
three-rOom house just north Of Dr.

was a snap at the price and an offer Of
$3.50 was refused for it by the new
owners an hour after they had closed the
deal for it.

was that of the Mrs. Eva Noel cottage
at 1920 South Main street to Mr.. II. Dry
