HOUSE FARM SELLS
AT AVERAGE OF s277
196-Acre Tract Containing Resi-
dence Is Bought By ]. M.
Carnes At $304 An Acre

Another of Madison's splendid
blue grass farms sold for the top
dollar at auction Wednesday. The
A. J. House farm, about mile
from Richmond on the Lancaster
pike was disposed of in two tracts
and averaged SIT for the whole
place of 385 acres. The farm is
splendid one in every way.
There is large 12-room house
on the larger tract, and its value
is shown when Mr.. J. M. Carnes,
who lives on the Lancaster pike,
paid 1904 per acre for this tract,
which contained 1876 acres.
The second tract of l89 acres,
which has a good outlet to the
pike, was bought by Mr.. John l..
Dozier, of Third street, Richmond
at $250.5O per acre. Thus both
tracts we're bought by Madison
county men, which shows that
the people here know that they
have the right kind of dirt and
they are willing to pay the high
dollar for it.
Col. Jesse Cobb auctioned the
land and was at his best. The
sale was big success in every
way. Some of the best known
farmers and land buyers in this
section were contending bidders
Secretary of State Jas. P. Lewis,
of Frankfort, came over, and bid
on the land right up to the last.
Among the other bidders were
noticed Messrs. John Creech, Bud
Cornelison, Ed Million and 9TH
erS.
Possession of the handsome
farm will be given January | next

ATTACKS PRESIDENT

 .sPresident Wilson," the professor added '.probably imagines he did us a favor in declining to agree to such demands as the cessation of the left bank of the Rhine and the dissolution of Germany into several small states In reality, such demands would have been better than the present conditions because we are so bound by the latter that we can hardly do anything hnan- cially.
 It is to be assumed that President Wilson knows European conditions too well to survey their importance and. perhaps there is in the back of his mind the thought of conflict between Amer ica and Japan, and Germany must De so weakened that she will not be able to be Japan's ally"
