The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-08-10

One of the largest acreage sales made recently in the Birmingham district was that consummated by the Jemson Real Eetate and Insurance company several days ago.
 The sale was made by l.. J. c. Drennen of Mountain Ferry Ohio, to the City Land company, and the price paid was si2000 It is understood that the pur- chase was made entirely as an invest ment.
 The property is situated just beyond Elmwood cemetery, two and one-half miles from Birmingham. It consists of 16O acres, making the price per acre paid for 1t $262.50. The City Land company has not yet made public it's intentions in regard to the developments of the land. It is probable that the land will be sur veyed and converted into residence lots.
 On the property of w. J. Dangaix, on the east side of Nineteenth street, be- tween Fourth and Fifth avenues, mod ern store house is being erected. 1t will be ready for occupancy by October L
 The Jemison Real Estate and Insurance company, agents for MT. Dangaix, an- nounce that while the building will be only one-story high, it will. nevertheless. be modern in every particular Hand- some plate glass windows will be put fin. and the interior of the store will have all the latest and most modern equip four separate store rooms, 2Ox60 feet each.

Regrets the Boycott.

MT. Wu expressed himself as greatly regretting the Chinese boycott of Ameri- can goods, and steamship and insurance companies, as it might estrange the sood will of Americans, which he highly prized Apparently. however he said the Chinese classes most concerned decided on lie boycott as the only means of ventilatins the question. He pointed out that the movement against Americans, though thororxhly organized by the best and most representative Chinese, was altoz pether pacific, and was not directed against persons onproperty
 Mir Wu's attention was called to the fact that he was lcredited with directing the boycott and 1he indignantly repudi- ated the suggestion.
