Supervisors Purchase Farm.

Supervisors Purchase Farm.
The Board of Supervisors adjourn
ed last Thursday, the last official act
of the board having been the pur-
chase of a new county farm site, the
farm now being used by the county
having recently been sold. There
were several farms offered, and the
board spent Tuesday and Wednesday
in examining the different properties.
After having visited all the prospect
i've sites, it was decided that the
place offered by Mrs. Eloise Bell was
best suited to the requirements of
the county, and it was decided to
offer her S14.00 per acre for the
property. In the original proposition
submitted to the board $500 per
acre was the price named, but Mrs.
Bell decided to accept the offer of
$14.00 per acre, and the deal was
closed. The place purchased by the
county contains 800 acres, and is To-
Gated on the Bent Oak road, adjoin-
ing the Motley place.
The board refused to allow the bill
presented By Maj. w. L. Young for
