RECORD PRICE FOR
FARMS AT COTTONbURC
D. A. Thomas, of Lancaster, With
Col. Pearson On the Block,
Sells Tracts At $500 Acre

| Some of the finest and highest
priced land in Madison county was
sold at sales on Thursday by d. A.
| Thomas, the hustling Lancaster real
estate agent, ably assisted by Col. j.
H. Pearson, local auctioneer. Mr..
Thomas first sold the Roy Taylor
farm located on the Cottonburg pike
at the Edenton store. The purchasers
were Tracey Warner and sons, who
live in that community. The farm of
20 acres brought total of $11, $40,
selling in tracts as follows:
Six acres at $490 per acre.
Two acres at 5000 an acre.
Twelve acres at $500 an acre.
This is undoubtedly record price
for Madison county land located as
it is, about 10 miles from the county
seat. The land is exceptionally fine
tobacco soil, however, having Won
derful reputation as a producer of
the finest grade weed, and it is sell
dom ti3at farm in that section OF the
county is sold but that it is eagerly
gobbled up. However, no such price
as this has been paid in the past and
Mr.. Thomas and his popular auction
eer, Col. Pearson, were congratulate
ed on all sides upon securing such
figure.
AS soon as the Taylor sale had been
concluded, the real estate men went
over to the farm of Charles Moberly,
nearby, and sold for him ii acres to
Dr.. Hughes, of the same neighbor-
hood, for $4,000. This was an average
of $571 an acre, and also goes to
prove how much in demand is that
splendid sandstone land in that part
of Madison county.

Since the fatal shooting by the Of
ficers, two of whom are now dead

er life, and there have been no dis

started work operating on Nc
Queen early in the afternoon.
No disposition had been made
OF the bodies of Reed and Martin

ment
1t is expected the coroner's in
vestigation will be called and that
officials of the road will give tes-
timony regarding the accident at
the Elkins bridge.
This is conceded to be the most
serious accident that has trans
pired in this vicinity for years.
The engineer of the first engine
OF the wrecked train, is said to
have reported that he was max
ing schedule time. and there was
no warning of the accident. until
the engine of which has was in
charge, began to swerve, leaving
the rails but remaining upright.
This doubtless saved his life as
well as that Of his fireman.

Use Cocoanut Oil 
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be. careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Aulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and en- tireiy greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for sham poeing. as tAis can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather Tirrses out easily, and removes every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex- cessiye oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy and easy to man age.
 Yor can get Mulsifled cocoanut oil shanpoc at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a. few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family fer months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsifed.
