The Rock Hill Herald reports the
sale of the J. A. Williford home place
about five miles south of Rock Hill to
D. F. Busby Of Anderson. The sale
was made through the real estate
agency of the Peoples Trust company
of Rock Hill. The price was $4,000
266 acres at close to $40 per acre. The
Alec Williford home place is commonly
regarded as one of the most desirable
in York county 1t was not considered
very much when Mr.. and Mrs. Will
ford went there. There was very
good house but the land was not
thought to be a great deal better than
the land surrounding. Fifteen dollars
per acre would have been considered
good price for it. But Alec Will
ford is "some farmer" one of the best
in the whole county. He improved the
place wonderfully, and he and Mrs
Williford established sure enough
home there. Mr.. Busby has made q
good trade. Mr.. Williford has not an
nounced what he is going to do. He
doesn't generally make advance an
nouncements along that line. 1t is
fact however that he has several
hundred more good acres adjoining
the home place-somewhere between
500 and 1000. and since he has NOT
sold his farming machinery, ms
mules or his cattle, the inference Is
that he is not ready to quit yet.
