The Herald, in their pocket and point
out to MIR. Figuers the farm they
want to see A few weeks ago this
agency advertised a certain farm for
sale, and the second man who saw ii
bought 1t without any further argu-
ment, and since it has been sold there
have been the rise Of twenty-five buy
ers here to look at it.
The biggest deal made was the
farm on the Hampshire pike Of 162
acres known as the McKennon place
to Claude R. wiltshire, of Florence,
Ala, for $4,000. This farm was
bought shortly before Christmas by
County Trustee John w. Addison.
Another one of the deals was the
Bob Reed farm of sixty acres below
Mt. Pleasant to Mr.. Robinette, Of
North Carolina for $4,000, and the
third deal was a small farm of sixty
acres on Duck River to Mr.. Heffing-
ton of Nashville for $4,000. The last
named farm was the one that there
have been so many after. Mr.. Hef-
fington refused a $500 profit before
be had received the deed.

The Allies have gained many points
