DEMAND FOR REAL
ESTATE IN This.
COUNTY IMPROVES.
BUSINESS PICKING UP ACCORD.
ING TO WELL INFORMED Oh.
SERVERS HERE.
MANY AUCTION SALES EXPECTED
Revival of This Method Of Selling
Lands Is Shown in the Advertising
Columns of the Newspapers-Sur-
veyor Mckissack Very Busy.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
That the demand for real estate is
increasing and that land values have
not dropped to the extent that would
have been expected measured in the
decline of farm products is evident
from the increasing number of farm
auctions and from the activity in real
estate.
County Surveyor W. r. NJ. McKis-
sack stated this morning that he was
busy nearly all the time surveying
farms not only in this county but in
the adjoining counties Many private
deals, he said. were being made in all
sections of the county. Many of them
are for small acreage, but altogeth-
er they indicate a considerable i'm
provement in the land market. PEG
pie have not had their faith shaken in
the value of land and their land hun.
ger is nothing like appeased. Mr. Nc
kissack is one of the busiest officials
of the county. He is surveying nearly
all the time and he stated this morn
ing that he had a large number of
deeds to write to close up deals that
had been made where he had survey
ed the land.
There is of course no boom in real
estate, but just a quiet but neyerthe-
less gradual recovery from the de
preston of the past year 1t is re-
garded as hopeful sign and forecasts
improvement all along the line in f.
nancial business circles. There are
said to be a number of real estate
deals pending at this time and sever
al auction sales are being contemplate
ed. Sales by public auction are grow
ing in popularity all over Middle Ten
nessee as is shown by the advertising
columns of the newspapers Many
county real estate held up long after
the slump had been felt in other sec
lions and for that reason it has been |
slower to recover, but a we'll known |
real estate dealer of Middle Tonnes
see predicts that there will be during
the winter and spring revival of the
auctions in this section.

LuTEN COMPANY OF KNOXVILLE
GETS THE JOB AT LESS THAN
APPROPRIATION.

Contract for the bridge to be con
structed across Big Bigby creek on
the road from Cross Bridges to Mt.
Pleasant was awarded by Superintend
ent Wilkes OF the highway depart
ment, in conjunction with Judge Whit
thorne to the Luten Bridge Company
OF Knoxville on Monday The bridge
was awarded at the price of 1850
which was the lowest bid. There were
a number of bids and they ran from
much higher figure to that price.
The bridge will be of concrete, re-
inforced. and will be OF three spans
of arches. 1t will -have a total length
of 120 feet and will be guaranteed to
sustain any traffic that is likely ever
to cross it. The bridge will be above
the highest known high water mark.
Superintendent Wilkes was very
much gratitied at the figure at which
this bridge was let as it was more than
$1,000 under the appropriation made
by the county court The court at
the October term appropriated S4,750
for the bridge so that there will be
savings of sl,110 of this appropriation
or approximately twenty-five per cent.
Big Bigby is probably the largest
creek in the county although this will
not necessarily be the longest bridge.
but outside of the Duck river bridges,
it will be among the longest in the
county.
Tho bridge across Fountain creek on
the Culleoka and Campbell Station
road was not contracted for Monday
Only one of the bids received on this
bridge was within the appropriation
That bid was made on a bridge of a
slightly lighter type than Superintend-
ent Wilkes was willing 10 accept He
hopes. however, to secure changes in
the plans and to be able to award
this contract
II is expected that work on the
bridge over Bigby creek will begin at
an early date. 1t is planned to rush
the work of construction so that the
bridge may be completed before the
spring rains begin.

Although there has been no definite
announcement as to what viii be OK
pected OF Mamy county in the next
annual roll call campaign OF the Red
Cross. it is believed that the county
will go over the top as it always
has in the past.
The campaign this year VIII be di-
rected by t. II. Foster. appointed be-
cause of the inability OF Gilbert u.
Orr to serve in this capacity, owing
to the fact that he is engaged in cor
Quoting his campaign for county court
clerk.
The campaign VIII be launched with
in the next few days, anu it might not
be an,iss to ca attention to the splen
did work Viii has been done by the
Red Cross Organization in this county
during the past year The public
health nurse has already accomplish
ed a great deal in improving the health
conditions of the county, and has
made out a most ambitious proc ram
for the coming year. It is planned to
make the county Health Center at
the court house, just what its name
implies. a real health center and Is
have installed therein free dental ami
medical clinics. where III needy may
apply for free dental and medical
treatment.
One OF the accomplishments of the
Red Cross. under the able direction
Of Miss Sarah Addison, Public Health
Nurse, has been the anti typhoid
work. Scores OF people in Columbia,
and in the schools Of the county have
received without cost, the antitypnoid
vaccine. and this has resulted in a
marked decrease OF the disease in the
county. At the first OF the present
summer there was more typhoid in
this section than in years. Preyenta-
tive measures were employed. The
fight was carried to an parts o1 the
county in which the disease had been
reported. and it was only a short
time until the situation was greatly
improved.
In addition to this work Miss Addi-
son has examined hundreds Of school
children Of the county asd has found
scores of detectives. Recommends
tioss for treatment have been made
in each instance. greatly improving
the child's capacity for his work at

1t is believed. in view Of the splen-
did work that has been done in the

JOHN PINTO FINDS NEW METHOD TO ILLUSTRATE HIGHWAYMEN; EASY: JUST
 DECLINE TO THROW UP YOUR HANDS
Clayton Road Man and Friend, With $500 Between Them, Say They Saved Roll By This Procedure.

The refusal of John Pinto to raise his hands even after a gun had been thrust under his nose put an end to an incident which might be linked with the so-called "crime wave" now sweeping over the country. The hold up occurred last evening about 9 o'clock on Allen street near St. Mary's playgrounds when Pinto and a friend were returning to their homes on Clayton road.
 Pinto and the friend had been in the center of the city in the evening on business and had more than $500 between them. It is believed that someone having knowledge of the presence of the money devised a means of securing it. At any rate, the men had just approached a dark sec tion of the road when the brush on the side crackled and the forms of two men were seen to emerge. The gun was flashed and a demand made that the victims hold up their hands. Pinto looked closely to see who the culprits were but they had wisely hidden their features from view by pSdhs 'CiOSe lO LnelT eyes and turning their coat collars up.
 According to Pinto's story, he reached a decision in his own mind that he would not concede to the wishes of the would-be highwaymen. The order was repeated. this time with the gun at close range and ap- parently in a position for firing Pinto refused again. After waiting for what was to the victims a seeming eternity. the hold-up men backed slowly away, taking to the vacant lots . nearby with a dash as soon as they reached the roadside. The matter was reported to the police for an inves- tigation.
 Pinto is employed on the premises of H. F. Wells on Clayton road, and lives nearby.

KIRkHAM AND KLETT
 MAY GET PROMOTIONS
Former is Probable Choice For Corporation Counsel
 Latter May Be Judge.

Judge John H. Kirkham of the po- lice and city court will, in all prob ability, be selected as the successor to Judge James E. Cooper as corpora tion counsel by the republican mem bers of the common council this eve- ming There has been no other name put forth for the position. The se- lection of Judge Kirkham to be cor poration counsel will give the city an official who is considered as eminent ly capable of fulfilling the task. Having been law partner of Judge Cooper for many years, Judge Kirk ham has in the absence of the cor poration counsel, filled the duties in the past, until he was elevated to the judgeship succeeding the late James Y. Meskill.
 As successor to Judge Kirkham on the police and city court bench, it is likely that Judge George w. Klett will get the berth. Judge Klett said to- day that he is not seeking the place, but should it be rendered him. he will consider the acceptance. His long connection with police court matters as prosecutor, a position he holds at present, qualities him as the strong est candidate that could be IT |cted.
