city property, and business locations
and business propositions were In the
background. These latter were In the

financially able to take rest, for
they have made big profits and good

agents who engineered the deals by
which the spectators and investors
did such satisfactory business, and
they. too, are taking a summers rest.

There were some good sales of city
property, sales on the small order and
scattered all over the city. In the
main these sales were of residence
property. and probably the only cash
dea! in strictly business property that
was made was pulled off In South
Richmond. and that was deal that
has for a long time been hanging on
the string. and at one time was SO

to Hunter B. Frischkorn the property
at Ninth and Cary Streets. now oc
cupled by TIE Smith Courtney Com
pany. 1t was deed made by w.
Fleet Kirk and wife and Reuben Bur-
ton and wife. and while it mentioned
only ale as a consideration. it is no
secret. for It has already been pub

Westhampton, and q number of vl.la

This firm also sold eighty acres TO
