CITY REAL ESTATE ACTIVE

Back in those gloomy days when
the German hordes were steadily
pushing back the thin lines of allied
armies and threatening every mo-
ment to swallow the whole of Europe
and leave their bloody trail even
across our own fair country, the
prophets of evil tidings spread the
news that prosperity was gone for
ever, that Christian county real es-
tate would be valueless and every
thing in our midst would be habil-
ity instead of an asset. Panics were
forecasted and all manner of guesses
were made as to how high costs
would soar and how low wages would
drop. But we would like to take this
opportunity to bring before the pub
lie how false these predictions have
proved themselves to be and now
that the dawn of peace is at hand
how brightly the sun Of prosperity
is shining on our wonderful country.
Not within a thousand miles can
another such county as ours be found
and for that matter it is our opin-
ion, that nowhere beneath the sun
can one other such be found. The
green hills of Christian county all
abloom with the life of Spring time
and with her timber land standing
proudly challenge to the world,
makes a picture that gladdens the
heart of every man, while the valleys
between, rich with the crops that for
years have made her famous, gives
promise Of wealth and comfort and
happiness for all time to come.
Her highways stretch like a ribbon
of white from one end of her match
less extent to the other, offering a
safe and speedy way of travel to any
one who desires to cross her borders.
Her churches, whose towers crown
her hill tops, and her matchless
schools which nestle in every valley
speak for her moral richness.
Land such as is hers can be found
in other places, Schools and church
es such as she offers to the world can
be found elsewhere, and her roads
may be matched in other states, but
nowhere beneath Old Glory can you
find them all as you find them here.
The farmers have taken up the idea
Of having only the best of everything
and only raising the best of stock.
No longer does the razor back grow
on our hills but the Duroc Jersey wins
the prizes and premiums offered at
our fairs. Our Hereford, Holstein,
Polled Durham, Angus, Jersey and
Shorthorn cattle form the pride of
every stock farm. And the farmers
of far and near having realized that
they can get in Christian county what
is offered them nowhere else, have
come into our midst by hundreds.
Never in the history of Kentucky
has there been such wonderful ac-
tivity in real estate as Christian
county is now enjoying. Judge w.
It. Fowler has sold his fine farm on
the .Clarksville pike, just south of the
city, to Mr.. Forest E. White, recent
ly of Caldwell county, for $3.50 an
acre. This is one of the finest farms
in the state, lying on Little river and
an ideal location for a stock
farm to which use Mr.. White intends
to put it, making a speciality of Here
ford cattle.
Mr.. Tom Jones has leased his farm
near Church Hill and many others
in the county have changed hands,
almost without an exception to men
from other counties. jeff J. CARROT,
one of South Christians most enter
prising farmers, only recently sold
his 500 acre farm for $3.50 per acre
to N. E. Nabb & Son.
The influx of farmers from our I
counties and the sale of
farm lands has caused an inflow of
our own farmers into the city and
made an increase in the sale of city
All of which proves en- /
,hatically that new era of prosperi-
y has dawned for our county.
Mr.. Rawn Buys Jackson Place.
Recently Mr.. Fred Jackson sold {
lis beautiful new home at South a
Main and Twentieth Streets to Mr..
2. V. Rawn, President of the South S
I'm Mineral Co., and Mr.. Rawn and I
amily have already moved into the
iouse. The consideration was pri-
ate, but it required a highly salts
actory offer to induce Mr.. and Mrs. Z
ackson to give up their new home. =
