pretty fast during the past week, and
there are three property chan ges noted.
Among these is the sale of The lot on
Church street, opposite the Baptist
church to DR.. B. +. Bible by j. A. Su-
song. The price for which same was
sold is not mentioned, but it showed a
substantial increase over that paid for
it, at the time of the auction of the
land held under the auspices of Messrs
b. ID. Jones and J. G, Allen, less than
two years ago.
Another real estate deal, was the
sale OF seventy feet frontage and the
old Randolph residen on Main street
TO o. Lowe, by Messrs Il. ID. Jones
and j. A. Susong.

made purchase and bought in the
, old J NJ. Kyker homestead on Main

Is Reason Given for Quiet in Mexican
Situation.

press his campaign southwark with a
view to carrying the warfare INTO the
federal district to compete with Gen
eral Huerta for the mastery OF the Mex
lean capital.
Official reports received here yester-
day were meagre. Rear Admiral Fleteh-
er, commanding the American squadron
in Mexican gulf waters, reported his
departure on the flagship Rhode Island
from Tampico for Vera Cruz. As his
recent laconic dispatches of the restora-
ton of order in that lately disturbed
section, it is believed he has gone to
Vera Cruz to assign to their proper sta
tions the battleships just arrived there
to relieve the vessels about to return to
home waters. As Admiral Fletcher is
directing the battleship mannuyres in
his own discretion, officials thought he
might return without notice to Tam
pico where further hostilities may ensue
as result of rebel determination to
gain control of. port of entry on the
gulf coast.
While reports of Francisco de la Bar
ra's cordial reception at the Japanese
court were received with interest here,
officials were inclined to believe that
Emperor Yoshihito merely was accord
ing to General Huerta's special ambas-
sador such courtesies as are customary
in the return of international visits.
