The Tate Land Sale.


Mr.. Lee Umberger, of Wytheville,
who represents the Southern Realty &
Auction Company, of Greensboro, N.
c., was here this week, and stated to
a representative of this paper, that the
big Tate land sale, near Chilhowie,
came off as advertised in this paper.
About 700 acres of the big estate was
sold in small farms, the amount of the
sade amounting to S81 900. The sale
of the remaining portion of the land
was deferred to another time. 1t
would have been very difficult mat
ten, says Mr.. Umberger, to have
found one man able or willing to put
that much money in one farm. The
county needs more small farms, and
the cutting up of the big farms affords
opportunity to men of small means
to secure homes. Mr.. Umberger stat
ed that his company has sold in the
Southwest over million dollars worth
of farm lands. The experience of his
company and of the other companies is
that the cutting up of the large farms
and selling at autcion, is the only
quick and most practicable way now.

Judge Graham's Address.

In the opinion of many sensible peo-
pie his address at the Court House at
the recent county Democratic meeting
was the best heard from him yet, on
such an occasion. The resolutions he
offered, endorsing Mr.. j. w. Chapman
as a candidate for the senate, were
.imely and as forceful as the speech
referred to. Some one borrowed the
resolutions from this office and failed
to return them. Hence they do not ap-
pear in this issue, but will later.

that upset their little home when the

Her Family Left Him.

He said that in two months after he
had taken a house in Bronxville, where
the inhabitants were called by one
brother in law bunch of NUTS,
he found that Mrs McCormick's family
had moved out, bag and baggage, and
left him with an empty house and
rent of 500 a month and at wo year
lease on his hands. The house was
rented in October, 1914, and Mrs. Ellen
Buzby, his mother In law, brought her
furniture from Philadelphia and also
her servants
Mccormick testified he was rather
pinched financially in the Bronxville
house, as he had been compelled to
pay $4,000 to a person to whom he
did not owe money, and there were
several judgments against him, one
amounting to more than $4,000. The
witness said he turned over his salary
check to his wife until he found that
she was using the money for her
relatives.
Il said to her. explained the wit

any of mine to them is an imposition
