e. G. Kittrell, Of Ridley through
Miss Louise Shuneman of the Figuers
Realty Co. has sold his farm of Seven
ty acres to John NJ. Chaffin, of Neap-
oils, for 81 $50, which is $16O per
| acre. This Is one of the most pro-
ductive farms In the Ridley section OF
the county and is splendidly i'm
proved 1t is understood that Mr..
Chaffin, who has only recently sold
his farm at Neapolis through this
same agency, will move to his new
farm this fall and make it his perma-
nent home.
Throught the same agency, J. w.
Craig has sold his farm at Glendale
to Hastings for $4,000. The new pur-
chaser will do considerable improving
on the buildings and the fencing OF
the place.
This agency has not only been sell
ing farms, but has been dsposing of
large quantities of seed corn for the
farmers of Maury county. Mr. Figuers
realized early in the spring that the
farmers OF Kentucky, Indiana. Hi

conceived the idea that he could not
serve his country in any better or
more patriotic way than to make 1t
possible for these farmers to secure
a high grade OF standard seed corn
He put on a large advertising cam

and the work began, with the result
that he has sold and shipped from
Maury county over $4,000 worth OF

corn which was originated by |. II.

selling the entire output of Mr. Nc

The demand then was so great that
he had to secure large quantities OF

to the present time he is still ship
ping this corn to the farmers of the
middle west states. Kentucky farm
ers have been the largest buyers Of
Maury county corn.
In this manner Mr.. Figuers has
not only helped the farmers here at
home in disposing of their corn at a
good price, but he has assisted the
farmers in the corn belt who had the
misfortune to, have their corn frost
ed before it fully matured last fall,
in getting high grade seed corn
with which they could seed their
fields with the assurance that the corn
would terminate and the work of
preparing the soil and planting would
not be lost in this present time OF con-
seryation of man power

Picture Robert E. Lee GiDen By
Veteran Brings Sl1O For Red Cross

The devoted spirit of Confederate
veteran was linked closely with the
war cry of today when a large picture
of Robert E. Lee presented by r. H.
Caskey was sold for $40 Saturday
at the great Red Cross community
auction of the Sixth district auxiliary
at McCain's. This was but one item
in the numerous articles sold by Col.
K. II. Moore, auctioneer which total
ed more than $1,100 The sale was
an unqualified success. People from
all sections of the county were there
to buy the articles contributed main
ly by the citizens of the Sixth dis
trict.
Little James Convey, son of DR.. and
Mrs. J. s. Covey had nothing to con-
tribute to the sale but his hat, so
he gave that 1t was sold along with
the other articles and realized SIS for
the fund.
The splendid pair of ponies con-
tributed by Mrs. Beulah Pickard sold
for $125, being about the only sale
at near or less than real value. Hams,
chickens, and various kinds of farm
products brought fancy prices.
The picture of Robert e. Lee has
a story and will have a sequel to be
written on the battlefield of France.
1t was the hallowed relic of Con-
federate veteran who was wounded
during the Civil war and now wants it
to be a means Of aid and inspiration
to the soldiers of the South of today

contribution he said that all he had

Mr.. Caskey parted with the picture
cheerfully, but he could not keep
back the tears when it was taken
away. He said it had inspired the
heart of an old Confederate veteran
and he hoped it could be used to
bring comfort to the Southern boys
on the battlefields of Europe or to
inspire some OF them to follow the
spirit of the great leader it por
trayed
The picture was given back to the
Red Cross after bringing $40 in bids
ranging from 25c to 50.
