But One of the Best Lying Bodies OF
Fertile Land in the Valley OF Foun-

In Value.

Through the 7. N. Figuers agency
another big realty deal was closed
this morning when the farm of Judge
Jesse Tomlinson, assistant commits
sioner of agriculture for Middle Ten
nessee, known as Happy Valley" at
Culleoka was sold to w. H. Hunt, OF
Bedford county. This is the second
big real estate deal within the past
three days and both were made to
people from other counties. 1t shows
that Maury county land is coming
more and more into demand as its
fame spreads to other portions of the
state.
This place sold for $50 per acre
The place contains ninety acres and
the consideration was all paid IN
cash. Aside from an old two story
ante-bellum day residence which is
sadly in need of repair and which has
been occupied by tenants for many
years and very much neglected, there
are practically no improvements OF
the palce. The barns are mere sheds
and hardly worthy of consideration
The consideration was based almos
! altogether on the value of the lant
itself.
The farm lies right in the vale!
of Fountain creek, about two and
half miles west of Culleoka and abou
one mile from the Pulaski pike. TIT

A Wonderful Measuring instrument.

London March 30.-What is prob
ably the most accurate measuring in
strument in existence is in constant
use at the standards department Of the
board of trade. The instrument was
designed by Dr. A. e. II. Tuition, and
its ordinary unit of measurement is the
eight miliOnth part Of an inch, though
in the hands of a capable observer it
is susceptible of even greater accu-
racy. Measurements are made by it
in wave lengths of light. The length
of a light wave is extremely small.
The unit Of measurement of the inStru
ment is based on the length of the red
light wave emitted by the glowing
vapor of the metal cadmium. This
length. which is invariable, is approx
mately one forty-thousandth Of an inch.
The instrument can be used to meas
ure the minute difference between two
official standards of the same unit of
length-for example. the yard.
