BIG REAL
ESTATE DEAL
Parties Buy Farm on Cumberland
for Stock Raising

Seldom is there recorded among
the real estate deals in this city OF
Negroes one that is larger in value
or in actual size, than the one made
several days ago in which something
over one hundred acres of land in
close proximity to Nashville were ta-
ken over by several prominent bust
ness men of the city. 1t is said that
sum nearly up to the $4,000 mark
was paid by these men for one of the
best located farms and truck garden
ing spots in Davidson County.
Inquiry reveals the fact that the
farm in question is on the banks of
the Cumberland River, on the right
hand side of the bridge, as
you approach the river. 1t extends
from the bridge to the old pest-house,
following close to the river,
and comes up to the street near the
Southern Publishing Association.
While the purchasers of this valu-
able piece of real estate are not will
ing to have their names published yet,
it is understood that there are four
of them, and that they contemplate
in connection with truck gardening
the raising of hogs. They have cal
culated that enough corn, peas, pump
kins, potatoes and turnips can be
raised to feed several hundred head
of hogs each year, in addition to the
enormous amount of garden stuff
which will find a ready market in this
city
One of the parties in the deal, when
seen by the Globe reporter, declared
that in due time announcement will
be made by the purchasers. There
are two splendid dwelling houses on
the place and one of the finest diaries
around the city is already in opera
ton. While no publicity has been
given the transfer the deal has already
been closed and the property has
changed hands.

MR.. B. HlGHToWER VISITS HIS
OLD HOME

Mr.. B. Hightower, of Chicago, H.,
was in the city this week shaking
hands with friends and enjoying the
Southern hospitality that he used to
enjoy in days gone by. Mr. High
tower went to Chicago about twenty
years ago and secured a position
with the Peoples Gas Light and Coke
Company as janitor, a position he has
held ever since, now being consider
ed a retired member of the corpora
ton
Mr.. Hightower is the owner of some
very valuable real estate in Chicago,
and also a large farm near Brent
wood, where he was born. He is
a member of one of the leading
churches in Chicago and is one of
the leading figures in all things that
pertain to uplift of the people.

ricultural Department. The Presi-
dent, Prof Hale, is not in the city;
it is understood that he is on a general
tour of inspection of the various
State schools situated throughout the
South, and he could not be reached.
1t is learned this week that Prof. Hale
is, or has been in Greensboro, N. C.
The Dean of the literary department,
Prof. White, is also out of the city.
but the concensus of opinion is that
within the next six months the entire
faculty will be selected organized in
to teaching force and ready for
work when the big school opens in
tho fall.
Assurance has been given that when
this school opens the jefferson street
car line will be extended so that the
cars will run in front of the school
and double truck cars will be put on
this line. In al probability it is the
plan of the street car company to ex-
tend the lines to West Nashville, thus
relieving the travel and much of the
congestion in West Nashville proper,
as Jefferson street is the logical route
to West Nashville.

Chairman Clark, of the Publishing

order Tuesday morning, Several of
the members were present at the Pub
fishing House but an adjournment
was called for a subsequent date,
The Chairman stated to one of the
members that the pastoral work was
extremely heavy and that sickness,
with several other matters connected
with his church, prevented him from
reaching the Publishing House in
time for the meeting Tuesday morn
ing. The Rev. G. b. Taylor was also
detained It is expected that the
meeting will be held later in January,

demonstration of his confidence is
no good to us. We cannot blame the
general public for not having conf

refusing to allow set OF men to
dictate as to how their money shall
be handled when they put none Of
their own into the business. It shows
lack of confidence on its very face.

ed, there would of course be no dan
ger of an overproductlon, as thu drier
could be added to so as to take care
OF all that could be produced With
acreage large enough the cannery
that is now standing idle could also
be started up again, as the canned
berry is becoming most popular in the
markets
How well the loganberry produces
here is evidenced by little patch of
fourteen vines in garden within the
city limits. Account was kept OF the
berries picked from these vines, and
an acre producing at the same rate
at prevailing market prices, will re-
turn $1,000 In the Willamette val
ley, where the berry is now grown on
a somewhat extensive scale, $500 per
acre is considered not uncommon
so let's put the loganberry In its
rightful place along with the pear

the Rogue river valley. 1t returns
profits In a year, with no long waits
for revenue. As an lnter-tree crop
