Carter Stock Farm Sold.

Negotiations known TO have been I'M.
der way for several weeks past, were
concluded Friday whereby Col. j. j.
Carter, of Titusville, disposed of his "a
nous Riverside Stock Farm located on
the Allegheny river a short distance be-
low West Hickory station, and about six
miles above Tionesta. The purchasers
are Charles W. Stone and James Wet
more, of Warren, and Thomas McCabe,
of KiDzua, Pa, and while the considera-
tion is not given, it is presumed to be
somewhere between $4,000 and 800, 1000.
The property includes about 5000 acres
extending up West Hickory creek and
covering a large paotion of Harmony
township, of which about $500 acres are
we'll timbered with pine, oak and chest
nut, several million feet of pine alone
being on the tract. 1t is for the timber
mainly that the new owners purchased
the farm, and they will proceed in the
summer to erect mills and manufacture
the lumber.
Col. Carter bought Riverside farnrmore
than twenty years ago from DR.. Sham
burg. 1t then had valuable oil produc-
ton. This production was increased
largely and five years ago was sold by
Col. Carter and is now under the man.
agement of the Midland Division of the
South Penn Oil company. The farm
proper contains splendid group OF
buildings, perhaps second TO none OF
their kind in the states, and during the
twenty years that Col. Carter owned the
farm he presented many valuable object
lessons to the farmers of this vicinity in
the particulars of good road building,
good horse, cattle and sheep breeding and
crop production. He had some of the
finest herds of Holsteins, Durhams and
Jerseys to be found in the United States.
He brought the best of sheep from Eng
land and purchased at an extravagant
price a first prize-winning ram at the
worlds fair in Chicago. Good horses
from England, France and this country
were kept and the imprint of this stock is
to be seen throughout the whole country
in the vicinity of the farm. On June
and I, 1900, dispersal sale was held and
the more valuable of the stock was sold
at public auction.
