ables the Germans to bring into Norfolk the

the cruisers standing guard just Off the

of the North German Lloyd. which has
been closed down and barricaded since
the European war began. Around the

a fence of barbed wire, while doors are

"and the peculiar contour of our coast at

would be far out to sea before they would
be beyond the protection of the three-mle

the truthfulness of this statement he ex-

In which she said that since the beginning
of the war she had gained 90 pounds, in

George 8. Webster, Director of Wharves,

BIC LAND DEAL IS
CLOSED IN DELTA
THEIR HOLDINGS TO A
SYNDICATE.

YaZoo City, Miss, June One OF
the largest land deals consummated
in this section of the state for many
years has just been closed between
the Delta Land Co., of Memphis, rep
resented by Mr.. n. S. Wright and
Brewer & Castleman, composed of the
firm of Ex-Gov. Earl Brewer. of Clarks-
dale and S. Castleman, of Belzoni.
The Delta Land Co, has purchased
all the plantation holdings of Brewer
& Castleman on Silver Creek, includ-
ing all the farming implements, live
stock, etc. The plantations are the Pc.
tosi Plantation, Valley Home" and
the Sanders Place, the entire acreage
being a little more than 1000 acres.
About 60 per cent of the total acreage
is under cultivation and is considered
among the most fertile in the entire
rich Yazoo Delta, involving a value
of nearly a half million dollars.
While the contracts have all been
signed up. the actual transfer Of the
property does not become effective un-
til Jan. /, 1917, after the present crop is
gathered. In the meantime, however,
the purchasers are making plans for
one of the greatest farm development
enterprises over undertaken in this
section. The growing demand from
Northern investors for farming lands
in the Delta prompted the Memphis
company TO look about to supply this
demand The average northern farm
er is satisfied with a quarter section
of good soil, whereas in this section
the average plantation is four or five
times this size. The Delta company
purchased these several plantations,
lying contiguous to each other, and
will subdivide them to suit the pur-
chaser Moreover their plans contem-
plate the erection of houses, barns,
etc, to suit the purchasers, while long
time payments will be granted the pur-
chaser.
A branch of the Y. & NJ V. railroad
runs through the property and it is
to colonize the entire tract
with northern investors, and build a
modern. little city somewhere on the
line near the center of the property.
Modern systems of waterworks, cleo
trio lights and sewerage will be in
stalled, cement walk slaid, and all the
of modern little city.
