FITZPATRICK FARM
| AGAIN CHANGES HANDS
Splendid Madison Blue Grass
Farm Sold By T. S. Hagan
To Agee and Reagan

One of the largest land deals
in Madison recently was put over
Wednesday when the L. P. Evans
Real Estate Agency sold to Jno.
E. Reagan and Calvin Agee the
farm of Mr.. T. S. Hagan on the
Barnes Mill and Crutcher pixies
for sum around $4,000. This
is the second time this year that
Mr.. Evans has sold this farm,
having closed the deal late in
January between Mr.. Hagan and
the Fitzpatrick heirs.
This is one of the best pieces
|of land in Madison county and
while Mr.. Hagan has made a
handsome profit in the sale of
the land, yet it has not reached
its value and is considered by
many as bargain.
Mr.. Agee will take the part of
the farm which is improved and
which faces on the Crutcher pike
and Mr.. Reagan will take that
part which faces ION the Barnes
Mill and Crutcher pike, and will
build dwelling and other i'm
lprovements on his part.
