1T was a party cf South Carolinians
wnto had recently bought farms in
Sumter county, and they were thus
coming here with all their household

fine mules which will be worked upon
his newly acquired farm here Mr.. r.
NJ. LOwery, of Seneca S. c., was also

Mr.. McAllister recently purchased
from Bolton Bros. here the former
Lee Snider farm, out Lee street road
six miles south of Americas, and the
new owner will very soon be comfort
ably at home there.
Mr.. Lowrey, who is mayor of the
thrift City of Seneca, S. C., is also I,
large property owner in Americus and
Sumter county. Some time age he
bought the Oliver farm near Plains,
for $685. 900, and more recently he pur-
chased also the former Thornton
Wle1tley home in Americus.
For the latter property. the home of
the late Thornton Wheatley, Mr. Low
cry paid $4,000.
These gentlemen report coming here
very shortly of other South Carolfnians
who, during the past summer, bought
farms near Americus. They are clos

they will aid in it's further develop
