Among the sales of real estate,
which have been takin gplace in the
city every few minutes lately, the
most noteworthy, in society circles, is
the sale of a portion Of the lot of
Mrs. L. w. Perrin, to Col. Furniture
Kerr. The lot is in the. shape of a
piece of pie and about the same size.
The price paid was s2s5o, which in
one dollar "Williams" will cover the
whole lot, and build a fence around
it. We do not mean to say that the
price paid was too high-far from
that, becsnse the lot il on that street

That Abbeville and Abbeville
County are about to fall down in a
most ignominous manner on raising
the quota for the Victory Liberty
Loan is fact. The county COM
mittee states that less than one
fourth Of the quota has been raised
and the campaign closes Saturday
night. .. !
The mems committee and. the
women's committee will make a final
effort to raise the quota this week.
But success will not attend their ef-
forts unless the citizens of this
county respond.
On Friday night there will be
open air exercises in the square, un-
der the auspices Of the woman's
committee. Chaplain j. Sproles
Lyons, 11sth Infantry, 30th Divis-

also be talks from returned soldiers.
The Camp Jackson Glee Club will
furnish music. 1t is expected that a
large crowd will attend these exer-
cises and it is hoped that much of
the quota will be raised by Saturday
night. -
On Saturday the women's commit
tee will be out in force on the

FAMOUS DIVINE HEALER
 IS COMING TO ARIZONA

TUCSON. Nov. What is expect ed to prove an unusually interesting sermon, ''The Healing of Christ and the Gift of Healing in His Church, will be delivered by the Rev. w. J. Dixon in Grace church Sunday even ing.
 The theme of the sermon will be the wonderful healing missions that have been conducted in England and this country recently by James Moore Hickson, layman of the Church Of England and a retired banker. Dur ing the summer the Rev. Nixon was fortunate enough to hear MT. Hick- son speak on the subject of healing on several occasions.
 For the past six months MT. Hlck- son has been conducting healing missions in the principal Episcopal churches of New York, Boston, De troit. and Chicago, and within few months he will visit Arizona and the Pacific coast.
 The Rev. Dix on will begin his ser mon on this interesting subject at 7:3O o'clock Sunday evening, and Grace church extends a cordial in7i- tation to the public to hear the local minister's message.

Perkins, formerly a newspaper man of Apache county, and still later member Of the territorial legislature from that county, and still later sheep baron of the north, is visitor at the state fair. MT Perkins for some time has been devoting himself to mining, and some time ago he organized the N.C.-4 company for the operation of q silver property about ten miles south of Prescott.
 This was known many years ago to be a very valuable property, in the days before the characterization of silver and in a comparatively short time more than SA5,000 worth of bullion was taken out of it by the simple process of Souging out tho ere which seemed the richest A great deal of work had been done in the mine, but done most unscientificalily.

(Contlnued From Page One) their military forces are under no ob- ligation to cooperate in forwarding the general operation of the railroad. The Japanese troops will put forward all possible efforts to remove. any thing that stands in the way of the operation of the railroad, and will by no means shut their eyes to the per petration of offenses calculated to en- danger the lives and property of in spectors and engineers"
 Taking up the American references to the instruction to the Japanese military concerning non-interference in case of disputes, the note submits ! that there seems to be nothing i'm proper in this stand. On the con trary, it thinks that any uncalled for i intervention by the Japanese troops in disputes between officials or mili tary forces of the allied powers is | liable to create a grave situation pregnant with the most undesirable consequences. The object of the Japanese instructions being to avoid the creation of any cause in mis understanding or ill-feeling it seems evident what great importance the in structions attach to the furtherance of mutual understanding and co-opera tion.
 'It would therefore be wide of the mark" it is stated, ito allege that il regard to the general operation of the railway the Japanese troops accep no obligation for cooperation"
 The reply then refers to the modu: vivendi reached by Ambassador Mor ris at Vladivostok on SeptemDer 22 and to the instructions later given tC the Japanese commanders, and regis ters the pleasure of government tha this caused satisfaction to the Amer ican government.
