Despite the fact that In private Bales the recent high prices have been maintained In this coudty, yet It is true that land which was placed under the auctioneer's hammer went at greatly reduced prices. For Instance: 450 acres of the Ferguson estate bounded by lands of Mrs. M. C.*fhomas, P. A. Cheatham, P. Rosenberg & Co., was Bold by the Master to J. C. Ferguson for *2,120. The houses and lots in Abbeville under mortgage to Charles E. McKay, was sold by the Master to Mrs. M. C. Greggary for S285. ' This property was sold Sale day in December at $700.
