BUILDING

ON The Lee STREET ROAD
Eleven Acres There BOUGHT
By Hooks & Carter

Another important real estate trans
action was consummated yesterday
that probably has important bearings
on the future development of Lee
street road, just beyond the city linn
its, where there is reason to believe,
building operations on considerable
scale may be looked for in year or
two. {
A year ago Mr.. A. c. Crockett bought
the eleven acre triangle popularity
known as the Dudley race track
almost in front of the Country club,
paying $1,000 for it.
Yesterday he sold this tract to
Messrs. 7. B. Hooks and w. C. Carter
for $4,000, these parties closing an
option they obtained on. the land some
months ago.
Mr.. Hooks has large tract just
in the rear OF this land. The pur-
chase yesterday gives a frontage on
the Lee sIrtet road of 100 feet, put
ting the new owners in position to sub
divide 1t into some very fine building
lots. 1t is understood that it is their
intention to do this, probably next
year, giving fine lots just across the
city limits for home purposes.

Really Swell Thing Now to

ST. Louis, Nov. 13.-With a solid
gold bracelet snugly clasping her an
kle, Miss Adeline Gritman attracted
the attention of hundreds of people as
size walked to the drug store here to-
Gay.
The breeze was of just sufficient
strength to place the skirts and ling
erie in position to display ankle and
bracelet, and the combination proved
irresistible Miss Gritman seemed un-
conscious of the attention she had
attracted.
Yes" she said later when asked
about it, lit did create somewhat of a
sensation, but / cannot see why. Now
in New York nobody thought anything
of it, and wore the bracelet that
way lots of times.

my right ankle. 1t made hit and a

'POSSUMS ARE

Be CONDUCTED FOR HOSPITAL
Ladies Want OId.FaShiOAed
- 'POsSum Supper

Wanted-A number of large fat
possums in order to serve some old
fashioned 'possum suppers at the Ba-
zar during Thanksgiving week This
is the sign that has been hung out by
the ladies of the Hospital association.
1t is now up to some skilful and en-
ergetic 'possum hunters to come forth
In the aid of the cause of the Hospital
and to bag few of the fattest and
most toothsome 'possums that Sumter
county affords to grace the tables that
will be served at the Bazar during the
entire week that it will be run here.
The only thing that will prevent the
'possum suppers being served every
night is the lack of 'possums. With
the large number of fat marsupials
that are being reported from all sec
tions of the county, surely the cause of
the Hospital will not suffer for lack
of possums to be served with potatoes
In the most appetizing fashion, as only
the ladies' who are to prepare the pos
sum suppers at the Bazaar know how to
serve this Southern dish.
Every one who will aid the Hospital
may begin even now in their work Of
catching 'possums for the occasion.
The 'possums will be very easily plac-
ed in pen and fattened for the week
OF the Bazar. 1t will take large num-
Der of 'possums to feed the 'possum
lovers who will frequent the Bazar to
feast on 'possum and taters. The pos
sum hunter who gets the largestnum.
Der of 'possums will be given 6am apa
ipropriate reward, as will all the others
who contribute to the possum table.

No, Mr.. Bell didn't want the whole

Papers came from all directions in
reply to the little want advertisement

the office opened "some" holders of
copies were on hand During the
morning hours they came in slowly.
The afternoon brought the full stream.
Every school boy suddenly seemed
possessed of an overpowering desireto
relieve Mr.. Bell of some OF his super
fluous cash. Down town they came
on foot, on bicycles, in autos, bearing
anywhere from one to dozen papers.
Like an army they besieged the
Times-Recorder Office, only. to be di-
rected to the office of Mr. Bell on the
second floor of the Commercial City
bank building. There they tramped
by ones, twos and threes, eagerly pur-
suing the nickles that meant soda
water, peanuts and other juvenile joys.
The wear and tear on the marble
steps of the bank building has not yet
been computed. Neither has the wear
and tear on the nervous system of the
Andrews real estate firm. Some of the
boys found Mr.. Bell and disposed of
their wares. Some did not. They have
full description and are looking Tor

Mr. Bell is satisfied that three line

he is going to do with all the papers

wider circulation deponent sayeth not.
To those still having papers TO sell,

request of the management is that the
people of the city come to their rescue

noon,
In order that the game may prove
most interesting to the people of the
city. the admission will be at popular
prices, Is and 25 cents. The Reds

known, are to put up one of the snap
piest, most evenly matched games seen
here. The fact that the two teams will
be arranged in the lineup so that they
will be very nearly evenly matched
will cause the game to be hotly con-
tested. In this particular especially
the game will be a most exciting one.
The game will begin promptly at 3:15
o'clock. The public is cordially invit-
ed to attend and to help give the High
School eleven the support that they
need to get started In football here. If
the team can once get thoroughly ON

DR.. Peacock now has on hand four
thousand bushels of corn. He recently
