SPLENDID TYNDALL
ESTATE CONVEYED TO

MAGNIFICENT PROPERTY LEAVES
FAMILY WHICH HAD HELD
IT FOR CENTURY.
BRINGS OVER HUNDRED AN ACRE
Two Hundred and Seventy Acres.
Portion Of Tract Settled In 1915 by
Noah 8. TyndaII-SoId for a Con-
sideratIon of $4,000.

After remaining in the same family
for almost century, to be exact nine
ty-six years, the beautiful and produc-
tive Tyndall place on the Hampshire
pike about six miles from Columbia
was on Monday conveyed by Walter
G. Tyndall to Oscar L. Dortch and
Cranberry Jackson. The place con-
tains 270 acres and is a princely es-
tate. The consideration was $4,000,
the land bringing more than 3110 per
acre.
The place lies a short distance from
the main pike but beautiful road
leads to the residence. one Of the old
colonial affairs and built In the happy
days before the great war between
the States, when the peculiar institu-
tion Of the South was fourishfng.
This place originally contained 500
acres and was one Of the most mag
niflcent estates Of Middle Tennessee
but some time ago Mr.. Tyndall sold
230 acres to Ben Fly.
This place was first settled by No
ah B. Tyndall in 1915. He was the
grand father OF the recent owner, Wal
ter c, Tyndall. The former owners
held many slaves in the old days and
the place Is rich with memories of
the Old South and Of the civilization
that the world will never know again.
Mr.. Tyndall win spend the next few
years in travel. He is a wide travel
er and will take another long vaca-
tion.

The election of Luke Lea to tho

eral satisfaction to the people OF Mau.
ry county. where Mr.. Lea 10 well ana
favorably known. The Patterson men
are bitter In their denunciations a
the four Shelby countians who voted
for Lea, giving him the election on
the eleventh ballot.
Probably no man prominent In tho
fusion ranks was more popular with
his party than Luke Lea. He holds
the distinction Of being the youngest
man elected to the United States Sem
ate from Tennessee, and when hS
takes his seat In that body will bs the
youngest member on the floor. Four
years ago he was one of the leaders
of the Patterson faction in the Demo
cratic party, and later became the
chief factor in the downfall OF the
Governor These facts make his
election bitter pill for the Pattsrson
men to swallow.
The only grain Of consolation which
the Patterson ties are claiming II
that the new Senator will not be En-
