paion for 1919.


The Figuers Realty Co. wound up
the old year Of 1918 and started off
the New Year of 1919 with some splen-
did real estate deals. The last week
of the year this firm sold and deliy-
cred deeds to about $4,000 worth of
Maury county farm lands, and has
closed practically that much since the
first day of January.
Some of the most recent sales are
the H. S. Rawls farm of ITS acres to
Oscar Boulton of Wilson county for
100000. Mr.. Boulton and family will
move to their new home within the
next few days. Mr.. Rawls bought this
farm last year. through the Figuers
agency for $4,000 and was well pleas
ed with the farm, but was induced to
sell for the profit. This is a fine level
creek bottom farm with splendid i'm
provements and fronts on the pike.

Darks Mill Mr.. Brown had just re-
Gently bought this farm from John w.

don home and is one of the prettiest
home sites in the county, with large
seven room residence located in a
beautiful lawn of three acres filled

T. N. Figuers sold his building on
the north side of the square to S. B
Stephens, which he had recently
bought from the Frierson heirs, for a
consideration of $4,000.
Within the past ten days ten or more
families have moved into Maury coun-
ty. They have bought farms through
the Figuers Realty Co. Among those
who have recently moved here are:
A. S. High of Smith county; R. j.
King of Marshall county; w. w. Wills
ford of Smith county; J. G. Crabtree OF
Giles county; G. L. Dozier of Bedford
county; l. Ball Of Kentucky, and Jas.
Parks of Moore county.
1t is estimated that at least twenty.
five families each year for the past
eight years have moved into Maury
county and bought farms. Brought
here solely through the advertising
publicity given to the county through
the Figuers Realty Co., and all who
come are highly pleased with their
purchases. They soon find that the
farm lands are all that is claimed for
them and that with the proper atten-
ton and cultivation, the Maury county
farmer is the man that gets the gold.
1t has been frequently said that ev-
cry acre of land in Maury county has
increased in value from ten to twenty
five per cent by the activities Of this
very live real estate firm, and that the
farmers throughout the South and
North read his ADVERTISING matter is
thoroughly demonstrated by the way
in which the buyers flock to Columbia
and buy lands.
Many Maury county farms have sold
several times during the last few
years through the Ffguers Realty Co,
and in some instances more than
doubled in price, and each time farm
sells it boosts the price of the adjoin-
ing farm.
There seems to be nothing too small
nor too large for the Figuers Agency
to take hold of. AS this list of sales
will show, one deal of a little over
$1,000, while several deals have been
made this fall amounting to over $780,
600.
