REAL ESTATE

BrinkIey Real Estate Trading
Fast and Furious Game. G.
Otis Boyle Sells Sapp Place
to A. Flora, and 3 Resi-
dences to BENZ.
EmmonS

Can you believe it? Did you
ever see anything like it in
your life? I mean the fast and
furious way that Brinkley
property is changing hands.
Only about a month since the
Argus told of the purchase OF
the Mclean property (5 houses
and vacant lots) for $4,000
by G. Otis Boyle and James S.
Mitchell. The property has all
been sold except the 4 vacant
lots (Diffey old home lots) just
south of S. Salinger's home on
South Main Street. This is the
way it went:
Williamson residence, South
Main to e. e. Whitehurst,
$4,000.
Cottage on North New York
Ave-, opposite city school, to N.
Nepolsky, $4,000.
Three cottages, w. Willow
Street, to Benz. Emmons,
$5,400.
This foots a total of $1O4OC
and leaves the owners the 4
pretty lots besides for their
5000 investment.
The. F. E. Sapp residence on
S. Main St., which was bought
by G. Otis Boyle for $1750 was
sold this week to A. Flora for
S225O and it is said will be used
as a family residence by Benz.
Flora.
The Mrs. Sumpter's residence
on West Ash St., was bought
this week by G. Otis Boyle, who
paid $2750 for it.
Thus it is in busy Brinkley
uown-every day now, is
trading day and there's more
than 100 families hunting for
homes, many of whom are 60
inc to have to move away un-
less there's some of our business

from an outbreak of diptheria.
The schools have been shut
down and under the quarantine
the following notice of the
postponement of the County
School Fair has been issued by
County Supt. w. E. Phipps:
At a call meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee and the

pone the County Fair til Oct.

DR.. Thomas, City Health Officer
could give no advise as to when
the quarantine will be raised
so there was no other course to
take without abandoning the
Fair entirely. The pOstponement
will give the schools more time
to get ready, and should make
the Fair all the better.

months and it is getting SO
now, that each morning, the
above inquiry is one among the
first of the day
During the past week en-
tries were made by the night
workers at the homes of Frank
II. Cole and H. G. Mitchell and
an attempt at the home of Mrs.
N. P. Lawrence.
At the F. H. Cole home on
Saturday night entrance was
made by prizing and breaking
the bolt Of the rear door. The
Coles had gone to Hilleman and
the house was vacant, and when
Mr.. Burglar had finished ''lOOk-
ing it over" hunting in drawers,
cabinets, closets, ETC., for loot,
it looked like a cyclone had
struck it. From the varied ar
ticles stolen here it would in
dicate that the burglars were
stocking a department store.
They took shot guns, bric-a-
brac, jewelry, clothing, silver
wear, etc.

pair of trousers belonging to
Emmons Mitchell and a blue
silk dress belonging to little
Nell, together with two big
kitchen aprons, was the sum OF
the loss, altho' the entire house
had been ramsacked. 1t is sup
Pposed that the two big aprons
were used by the burglars to
carry away their loot.
Tuesday night it was a
switch from the residence to
the business section. The burg

BODY ELECTS LANSING
u. S. SECRETARY OF STATE
HEADS TRIAL BOARD.
Committee to Determine the War Re-
sposibIity and Fix the
Penalties.

Paris, Feb 4.-Robert Lansing, the
American secretary of state, was
unanimously elected president of the
committee on responsibility for the
war, which held its first meeting at
the foreign office.
In proposing Secretary Lansing's
name, Capt. Andre Tardieu, the French
member of the committee, said that
before regulating a peace of justice 1t
was necessary to impose penalties
upon the authors of the aggresSions
which had brought death to millions.
The work of the committee, he eX-
planned, would be first to study the
facts which would establish the guilt
of those responsible for premeditated
violation of treaties and international
law.
Second, to fix penalties which would
be defined and applied. He closed by
proposing Secretary Lansing for presi-

the other powers that the United
States undertake to act as mandatory

Such of the American delegates as
will discuss the situation say they are
disposed to resist this development of
the plan for mandutories, holding that
it is the business Of Europe to look
after the Europeans and the people of
the near East.

powers in support of their desire that
the United States assume some of the
burden of the obligation to care for
the welfare of backward peoples affect

state Of civilization, is based upon the
unlimited confidence of other govern
monts and because it is known that
the United States has no territorial
aspirations.

your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless observation-disclosures all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
