purchase price was $25, 900, but Miss Boone
will spend large sum in Improvements. It
| is her intention to pull down the present resi-
dence and build large and commodious man

of her purchasing that place and adding to the
| house. The idea was abandoned, however, and
last month Miss Boone gave up Cedar Lawn
and sailed for Europe, where she will remain
| during the summer When she returns in the
fall her plans for perfecting her new purchase
will be completed. Mr.. and Mrs Carpenter
and the Misses Carpenter will give up posses
