attention as farming and stock-rais-
ing section, there has been very mark
ed evidenced within the past week.
J. w., Buttram, Tallapoosa, Ca,
was here last week and bought the j.
A. Tulley farm of so acres lying two
and one-halt miles west of Crossvllle
on the Memphls-to- Bristol pike. The
purchase price was not made known,
but It is generally admitted that Mr..
Buttram secured very valuable prop
erty at a very low price.
The conditions of the trade are such
that Mr.. Iulley is to give possession
not later than December Is. Mr.. But
tram has q wife and two children He
will go on the farm with the purpose
of operating it along regular farming
and stock raising lines. He moved
to Tennessee from Georgia short
time ago and bought two farms IN
Lawrence county, this state, but was
not so well satisfied there and has sold
and now locates here.
Mr.. Buttram also bought the j. L.
Horn farm, better known as the D. L.
Payne tarm. 1t consists OF good resi-
dence, barn, large orchard and com
prises 200 acres all told. The Horn
farm will be occupied by a son of Mr..
Buttram, who will come at the same
time as his father. The younger But
tram has wife and two children.
Both sales were for cash or bankable
paper. The Tulley residence is prac-
tically new, having been built about
three years ago by Mr.. Tulley. II is
small bungalow style and has all the
modern improvements such as water,
light plant and is generally as neat and
tasty as almost any residence in the
cities.
Mr. Tulley and wife will go to Knox
vile until after the holidays and he
win then look for some business In
which to engage. He is capable hotel
man of many years experience and 1t
is probable he will again turn his at
tentIon to that business, either In this
state or in Kentucky.
The residence on the Horn farm,
while very comfortable one, is not so
neatly constructed ana does not have
the modern cOnveniences OF the Iulley
property.
1t Is with regret that our people Will
see Mr.. and Mrs. Tulley go away but
their departure Will be compensated
by the addition of the two excellent
families that will occupy the farms
purchased.
Mr.. Horr has not been living on his
farm but operated it with tenant.
He Will continue to reside here and
will most likely purchase other prop
erty that ne will develop INTO farm.
j. L. Qualls has recelt tly purchased
the residence occupied aid Owned py
Rev. l.. A. Hurst and will move into
1t when the property IS vacated by
Rev. Hurst and family, which VIII be
about the first of the year.
j, T. Border has recently pufchaSed
the +. j. Deters Icslsence pr perty
that he has occ pied Tor some months.
1t is one Of The good residences OF the
town and lis located IN a splendid
nejghborhood 1t will be gratifying to
our people as the purchase makes Mr..
Border and family permanent citizens
of our Wn.
The two farm sales were closed
through A. Mcclure, who has sever
al other deals in prospect tor farms
over the county. A man was here
last week from Rockville and was
looking at several places near here and
Grab Orchard and it is very likely ne
will purchase at no distant date.
j. b. New, of Lawrence county, Will
move here soon. with his three daugh-
ters. 1t is his purpose to look the
situation over for short time before
investing, but as he IS well p eased
with the country there is every propa-
bIlity that he will buy and become
permanent citizen OF the county.
The persons who have come here Tor
several weeks have generally express
ed much sdrprise at finding such VIDE
stretch of land so admirably adapted
tor farming and stock raising at the
extremely low prices that the LANDS or
this section are offered. Every mol
cation points to the influx Of large
number of homeseekers to this county
in the near future. When land that is
practically as level as the western
pralries, and of quality that VIII
produce good crops with proper hahu-
ling can be had For ten dollars an acre
and up, it is very strange that IL
should not find ready purchas RS. Inc
only logical reason that can be gwen
for its remaining undeveloped is that
the real conditions are not known TO
the right persons. But that condition
now promises to be largely remedied
and a large influx of people may reas-
onbly be expected IN the near future.
