this to say this morning concerning
the entertainment
"One feature of the Alumni Carni.
val at the High School on next Fri
day night which will be highly pleas.
ing to lovers of real sport will be the
basket ball game between the girls
of the Alumni and those of the High
School. On the team of the alumni
there will be three of the young la
dies who were on the championship
team of year ago. 1t will be re-
membered that this team met and
defeated the best aggregation of the
state. These ladies have practiced
together for the past few days and
when they meet the team which rep.
resented the High School this year
1t will be a toss up as to who will be
the winner.
Also the boys of the alumni have
gathered together a team which will
be hard to handle. Under the direc-
tion of Monte McDaniels, who him.
self will hold down one of the forward
positions, they have developed team
work and speed, together with an al.
ready acquired knowledge of the
game. which will make it difficult for
the quintette from the High School
to overcome. Tillman Moore, star
of recent years will be present and
add much to the strength of the alum
nj team.
Aside from the basket ball games
there will be other athletic contests
which will furnishs your moneys S
worth if you are 4 loverof such sport
A wrestling match has been arrang.
ed between two well trained and ex
perienced youths of the High School
and here, while it will not be a
LeWis-Heracle bout, there will be lots
of fun and excitement for the spec
tators. A five round boxing match is
also part of the program and the
devotees of the fistic art are assured
Of something which will in no wise
be disappointing"

RAPID ADVANCE
IN LAND VALUES
FAMOUS HIGHLAND FARM PUR-
CHASED BY w. H. JONES TEN
YEARS AGO FOR $4,000.
Cent In the Past Five Years--pro-
prietors Have Purchased Big Plan
tation in the Mississippi Delta.

Sale of the Highland Stock Farm OF
w. c. Keen & Sons on Wednesday AT
public auction for 500 ,76S, gives con
crete evidence of the rapid apprecia-
tion OF realty values in Manry county
in recent years. This farm during
the hard times" some twenty odd
years ago once sold for about $4,000
Some ten or eleven years ago w. H.
Jones, big stock man and owner OF
some of the finest racing stock ever
brought to Maury county, came here
from Birmingham and bought the
farm for about $27,000 He named it
Highland Stock Farm and operated
it for few years. Something over
five years ago W. G. Keen bought the
place from Mr.. Jones for $4,000.
Since that time he has operated it,
While Mr.. Keen improved the land by
the use of live stock and.legumes, he
did not spend very much on improve
ments His sale at around $4,000
shows an advance of Is per cent in
value or more than double the legal
rate Of interest for every year that he
owned it.
The sale was considered one of the
most successful ever held in Maury
county. While the average per acre
was not quite what some had expect
ed it to be, others had guessed at a
smaller figure. The home place OF
1861 acres sold for slightly less than
had been expected, but the tract No
8 without any improvements, that sold
for 5000 an acre was considered re-
markably fine sale.
Messrs. Keen & Sons have purchas-
ed big cotton plantation in the delta
of Mississippi and will leave as soon
as they can wind up their affairs to
make their new home in that state
During their residence here they
have MADE scores of warm friends
who will regret their departure. They
have been progressive farmers and
their herds OF pure bred Duroc hogs
and Aberdeen-Angus cattle have be
come famous. They are land build
ers and are good citizens, active in all
good works. They are the type of cit
liens that no county can afford tC
lose and whose citizenship is an as
set to any community.

GOOD MULE MARKET
/ ON MONDAY EXPECTED
DEALERS BELIEVE PRICES WILL
BE GOOD BUT HEAVY MULES
NOT IN GREAT DEMAND.

Local mule dealers are expecting a
lively market for the long cared an
imals here Monday, but it Is thought
that the offerings will be light, as the
farmers of the county are taking ad'
vantage of every possible moment to
catch up with farm work which is
generally behind on account of contin-
ued rains.
Mule dealers expect the pri es
which have prevailed for the past few
months, to continue in effect, but il is
thought that very few heavy mi les
will be offered for sale, as the de
mand for the sugar mules has al
ready been met. However, 1t is
thought the supply of light mules OF
the market will be taken by buyers a
good prices.
