outcome was a compromise whereby,
instead Of having three men and bag
gage occupy two seats, four men OcCu-
pied two seats while their baggage re-
posed on the floor. Colonel Parmerter

trouble between the two colOnels.

CHICAGOANS INSPECT PECANS
CAME DOWN TO LOOK OVER THE
GROVES NEAR DAWSON.
Among Them We're Some of the Pur-
Chasers of Pecan Land From
.lowrey Brothers.

Among Them We're some Oh the uF-
chasers of Pecan Land From
.4owrey Brothers.
A party of Chicagoans, travelling
in special car, arrived in this sec
ton Thursday to visit the pecan
groves.
Among them were several who had
already invested in pecan lands
having bought of Lowrey Bros. of
Dawson, who two or three years ago
set out pecans on 200 acres of their
Hollis place, in Lee county just over
the Terrell line-and they came
South to inspect their property. 9th
ers came along with a view of MAX
ing similar investments if conditions
pleased them.
Lowrey Bros. have sold seven or
eight hundred acres to Westerners
since setting out their pecans, divid-
ing the land into tracks Of different
size and selling it at $3.50 to $500
an acre.
That the pecan is becoming most
favorably known throughout the
West has been more clearly demon
strated during the past two or three
weeks than ever before. During that
time there have been fully a hun
bred pecan land buyers in this sec
ton of Georgia, and more are COM
ing every days.
