Former Records Broken In

Since Beginning NelD Year

With only little more than two
thirds of the month gone, new record
for realty transfers has been set in
Maury county During the first TWEEN.
ty-one days Of the month, transfers
Of lands aggregating $949,000 had
been probated at the Office of Coun-
ty Court Clerk Archibald W. Lips
comb This is fifty per cent more
than the largest sum recorded during
any one month Of last year.
At the rate at which deeds have
been probated on the transfer record
the aggregate for the month will run
far above $1OOo0O0. In January of
last year, which was the premier
month for 1919, the aggregate trans
fers were $G48,0O0 The total for last
year was $4,223,000 1t is safe to say
that the transfers for this month will
be not less than one fourth of the en-
tire amount for the whole previous
year.
Never in the history of the county
has anything like this months record
been known in real estate transfers.
Not only is this true of the aggregate
of the sales, but it is equally true of
the number of the transactions. Reg
lister j. J. Pogue has established a
new record. Already this month 255
instruments have been filed for record
in his Office as against a monthly av-
erage last year of only about $50 in
