E paso, Texas, April 1.-THE pur-
suit IF Villa will probably be brought
10 definite conclusion within forty
eight hours. according to information
received here today By nm American
mining concern with large interests
at Parra ana Torreon.
The messages received stated that
the report that villa was dead was
current throughout southern Chihua-
hua and northern Durango and, while
il was still far from confirmed. 1t
was expected that definite news
would be received within the next
two days
Two Things Possible.
There are only two possibilities
which are accepted here as true IN
the present situation either Panch0
Villa is dead and his pursuit Is auto
matically ended or Ne Is far TO the
south in central Durango II the
latter is true, army Officers say that
the entire plan of campaign Of Cen
eral Pershlng must be completely re-
organized or abandoned altogether
one officer, who has had an active
part IN the direction Of the plans OF
the expcditlonary force, summed up
the situation M this way.
m villa is dead there ~ no more !
to be said except to issue an order I,
for our soldiers TO come back to the I
United States as speedily as possible !
II he is not dead, there Is very little |
reason 20 doubt that he Is 10y this I
line well into the state OF Durango.
Il is simply ridiculous to suppose that (

DR.. Claud McKibbon and wife, Annie
Wilkes McKibbon, have purchased
form DR.. Geo. W. Williamson, Of Ala
bama, and other heirs, the old George
Williamson homestead, on Fountain
creek, about two miles southwest OF
Culleoka. This farm contains in the
neighborhood of 230 acres and the
purchase price was $4,000. 1t is one
of the most productive farms in that
section. The sale was made through
the hustling Figuers Realty company.
The farm is magnificently watered
and has on it several thousand dol
lars worth of hardwood timber and
1T the price at which it was sold is
considered one Of the best bargains
in Maury county realty sold in some
time. The improvements are old and
in rather bad state of repair, but the
purchasers contemplate expenditures
that will make It one of the most at
tractiYe homes in the county.

WESTMORELAND Z
PLACE IS SOLD
W. J. SHELTON PAYS $4,000 FOR
ABOUT TWENTY AcREs-MAY
ERECT RESIDENCE.

The sale of the Major Wade h.
Westmoreland place in West End was
finally consummated this morning
when W. J. Shelton paid into the Co
lumbia Bank and Trust Co., represen'
tatives of Major Westmoreland, $4,000,
Tie price paid for the place.
The place contained about twenty
acres and was formerly owned by
Mr.. Ashbaugh, who sold the place b
Major Westmoreland several years
ago, when the Major was Commandant
at the Columbia Military Academy.
About two years ago the residence
vas destroyed by fire and since that
time there has been no residence on
the place. The price paid for the
place is considered a good one, since
there is no residence. Mr.. Shelton
will probably erect handsome resi-
dence upon the site where the old
residence formerly stood.

NEW RECORD ON
SPRING Il MBS
W. r. HAYWOOD, OF THE SECOND
DISTRICT, HAS ONE HUN
DRED ALREADY.

w. R. Haywood Of the Second dis.
trict, probably holds the record in
Maury county this year for early
lambs. In Mr.. Haywood's flock of $50
ewes there are already 100 young
lambs. These came since the first Of
the month. He expects to feed them
literally on bran and crushed corn and
prepare them for the Easter market.
Mr.. Haywood is one of the most sue.
cessful sheep growers in the state and
last spring sold about $1,000 worth OF
lambs from his flock of sheep. While
winter pasture is going to be scarce
he figures that with proper feeding all
the early lambs can be prepared for
the Easter market when they will sell
at fancy price. The wool alone win
probably pay all the costs of keep.
leaving the returns from the lambs an
net profits.

For the purpose of devising great

was taken. Many plans we're dis

Columbia will be assured. 1t is prob.
able that a great parade participated
in by almost every automobile and

FOR the festive day.
Many dates we're discussed at the
meeting of last night, but the one that
was most universally favored was for
