PURCHASES CAL CHEEK PLACE
Gives Town Property In Columbia
And Nj. Pleasant in. Exchange for
Farm Through the Figuers Realty
Company.

f. L. Wiltshire, who has been buy
ing farm lands in Maury county for
some time, has purchased the Cal
Cheek place ON Duck river, IL miles
from Columbia in the Fouth district,
from A. D. Edwards, paying $4,000
and exchanging other property in
Maury county for this 300-acre farm.
The property given in exchange con.
sists of two small houses on College
Hill, Columbia, four lots in The Grant
subdivision, the large Odell lot, .cur
miles from Columbia on the Williams
port pike, brick store and lot Eear
Hay-Long College, in Mt. Pleasant,
the total valuation being $4,000. The
transaction was made through the
Figuers Realty Co.
Mr.. Wiltshire's continued purchases
of Maury county land is an evidence
that he has high estimate Of their
value, and being a good farmer him
SELF his opinion is worthy of consid.
Grafton. #
The farm bought by Mr.. Wiltshire
is one of the best on Duck river IN
that section of the county and he ex.
poets to make it profitable addition
to his holdings.
Mr.. Wiltshire stated to The Herald
today that he expects to Immediately
improve this farm and probably will
sell it within year at a good profit,
because it is an ideal location for a
hog and hominy" farm. 1t has the
best fences, he said, that he has ever
seen and is ideally arranged for live
stock raising. He will SOW 1t in peas
and small grains and get it ready for
the market through the Figuers Real
ty Co. again. He never owns a farm
without improving it and making ii
sell for more than he paid for It,
which is testimonial not only to his
ability as a farmer but also to the
fertility of the soil of Maury county.
There is no safer investment than
Maury county soil and nobody knows
that better than those who have in
vested their money in that way.
Mr.. Wiltshire's activity in Maury
county lands began just as soon as
Governor Rye and his state locating
committee decided upon Maury. eoun
ty as the best and most suitable coun
ty in Middle Tennessee in which to
locate the station. Mr.. Wiltshire real
lied that as soon as the station was
located and in operation that the
prices of lands in this county would
nearly double in value and he has
taken advantage. Of every phase of the
subject and is putting every dollar he
can get into Maury county soil.

EXPERIMENT STATION ATTRACTS
Visits The Big Hog Raising Plant
OF H. v. Wakefield, Who In One
Year Has Made Great Success Of
The Business.

Attracted to Maury county by the
announcement that the Middle Ten

Gated here and by the Hog Is King"
advertisements of the Figuers Realty
Co. in The Herald, E. S. Wright, of
, near McMinnville, Warren county.
closed a trade this morning with j. H.
Dining through the Figuers Realty
Co. for the j. H. Hardison farm, eight
/, miles from Columbia on the Bear
Creek pike by which he comes into
possession of the ]. H. Hardison place,
farm of 70 acres, for which he paid
5000.
Mr.. Wright is a successful pure
bred hog raiser and will move his
business to his new home about the
latter part of November. From there
he will continue to sell his well known
breed of Poland China hogs which he
has been shipping in large numbers
to buyers in North Carolina, Florida,
4, Georgia and other states.
Mr.. Wright was in the city early
today and closed the trade for his
new farm before eight O'Clock He
said that he had been reading the
Figuers Realty Co. advertisements in
The Herald for about a year and was
much interested in Maury county, but
did not decide definitely to come here
to locate until he learned that the
| Middle Tennessee Experiment station
would be located hare. He has six
children, five OF whom are boys, and
he wanted them to have the advan-
tage of this scientific farming plant
while securing their other education.
He went out today to look at the
! hog raising plant of H. U. Wakefield,
an expert hog raiser, who came from
Marshall county to this county one
year ago today and bought a 2S0-acre
farm through the Figuers Realty Co.
for $50 an acre. Mr. Wakefield stated
today that he will have for sale the
first of October $4,000 worth of hogs
at the present prices and that he
raised all of them but a few BROOD
sows on his farm. In addition to the
hogs that he will sell he will have
left $4,000 worth of brood sows and
stock hogs. He also has a number of
sheep, cattle, and other live stock.
His hog business is more than meet
ing the. deferred payments on the
farm, just as it was advertised by the
Figuers Realty Co. that it would do
in the Hog Is King advertisements
that have made this company famous
throughout Middle Tennessee. Mr..
. Wakefield is an enthusiastic demon
stration farm advocate and is looking
forward to the time when the expert
ment station will be established in
Maury county. He has already re-
luSeu 10 permit Ine FlsucTS Neatly
! Co. to sell the place for 800 an acre
that he bought only year ago for
$50 an acre.
| The addition of Mr.. Wright and his
family to the citizenship of Maury
county will be favorable to the growth
of the county's fame as the home of
prosperous and contented people.

ing camps in the region of the Merri-
wether Lewis monument in Lewis,
Lawrence and Maury counties. He
has wired to Gen w. P. Duvali, com
mander of the Southeastern depart
ment at Washington, at the personal
request of Representative Padgett
and both of the Tennessee senators,
to give consideration to the Merri-
wether Lewis Site This information
was contained in a telegram received
last night by Nv. w. Dyer from w. c..
| Whitthorne, who is in Washington
representing the Merriwether Lewis
Monument Army Training Site Asso-
citation, whiah was organized in Co.
1umbia last. Friday. Mr.. Whitthorne
elft for Washington Saturday and the
telegram last night was the first word
! from him giving an encouraging re-
port on the situation. The telegram
/ follows: )
"At personal request of Padgett
joined by both senators, Secretary
Baker wired General Duvail to
Il give consideration to the Merri-
wether Lewis monument site. Am
/ waiting to hear from Charleston"
This information will give renewed
hope to the advocates of the Lewis
latte, 1t having been ascertained that
OF the 20 sites selected to be inspect
ed by the army board, this site was
not one of them. Mr.. Whitthorne's
telegram means that regardless of
other plans the army department may
have in mind, the Lewis site will be
given ample consideration. 1t is felt
]. here that all that is needed to land
the big camp for this section is to
have it given an inspection on a par
with other sites. It's natural qualifica-
tions are believed to be superior to
any others that have been offered
and there will be no failure to do
anything the government may require
to make it comply with the army
board requirements.
, The sentimental and historical fact
that the region proposed for the camp
surrounds the lonely tomb of the fa-
nous explorer to whom but little if
any other honor has ever been paid
by the government for which he la
bored so long, is believed to be an
impelling reason for its being given
special consideration by the war de-
partment at this time.
II the camp is secured for this sec
tion it will means that from 10000
to 10000 soldiers will be encamped
and in training near this city perma-
Inanently and that they and the gov
ernment will spend about 100000
month in this locality.
