LAND VALUES SHOW
INCREASE Of TWO
HUNDRED PER CENT
PLACE NEAR COLUMBIA SELLS
FOR NEARLY THREE TIMES
FIRST COST.
That Place Was Sold for $4,000 and
Now Sold at Price of $3.50, Show
ing What People Think Property in
This County Is Worth.

The recent sale of the Galloway
place on the Campbellsville turnpike
just South of the first toll gate and
about mile from Columbia proves
eloquently the rapid rise in the value
'of land in Maury county.
This place, less than eight years
ago, sold for $4,000. 1t recently sold
for $4,000 with the same residence
that was on it at the time it was first
sold. This is an increase in value in
the eight years of more than $50 per
cent. 1t is fair index of the way
in which land values in this vicinity
have increased in the recent past
John w. Shelton, the well known
cattle dealer and President of the
Maury County Fair Association,
bought the place for 1920. He made
some improvements on it and few
years later sold it to Hon. w. G. Sal
mon for $500. Mr. Salmon kept the
farm but a short time and made no
improvements but sold it to Mr., Gal
loway for $3.50. Before the deed
which Mr.. Salmon had made was dry
Mr.. Galloway was offered $500 for
the place but refused, declaring that
it would be worth $1O0 an acre. II
And in the recent sale by Mr.. Gal
loway to Squire ]. B. Lowell, of South
port, for $500 he came very near re-
(alizing his idea for the value Of the
| place for, is contains just eightyfive
acres. Much Of the land is rough,
perhaps not onesfourth of 1t being till
able land, the remainder being, now
ever, admirably adapted for the
growth of grasses.
Squire Lowell will occupy the place
as a home, having moved near the
city to give his children the splendid
advantages Of Columbias excellent
schools.

TWO KILLED IN AT
TEMPTED AR EST
BAND HEADED BY SHERIFF is
FIRED ON WITH FATAL
RESULTS.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. A
message from Cumberland Gap to-
night brings further details OF today S
killing, when officers made an at,
tempt to secure Mrs. Sirelda Barnett
a witness wanted in a trial at Pine
Vile. Ky. No second posses was
formed to go to the Smith home
where the tragedy occurred. The
shooting occurred outside of the
house and the murderer or murder
ers fired from ambush. General be-
lief is that not more than two per
sons figured in the killing. Sherld
Thicker. it seems, entered the Smith
home and was not shot, as reported
simply because he used Mrs. Barnett
as a shield. The two Collins broth.
ers were killed as they neared the
house. and the father of the two Toys
was wounded as he walked back OF
them toward the house. 1t is re-
ported that the elder Collins is dead
There were seven men in the posse,
three of whom were shot, the sheriff,
held temporarily a prisoner, and
three others escaped during the fusi-
lade, The sheriff owes his life to the
fact that he agreed to go away ana
not bother the desired witness again.
He was allowed to go unarmed.
