SALE DAY,
The Bottom Dropped Out of Land?Without
Wings Second Hand Mules Went
Sky High.
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. Re-sold last Sale day for the smaller
figure.
' The Mattlson house In which J. C. Martin
lives was sold for 91,200 to J. C. Martin.
Five-eighths of an acre In the town of Abbeville
belonging to Samnel J Donaldson, on
whloh were two houses, was sold, to R. S.
Link for 8900.
63 acres on Curltall Creek belonging to Samuel
DonaldB^n was sold to R. R. Tolbert lor
$410. The Master making both sales of the
Donaldson property.
To show the difference In priceB of land sold
last Sale day at public outcry and of lands
that bad changed bands at private sale a
short time previously we might mention that
Evans Hunt paid $2.': an acre for 180 acres of
farming lands several miles from town In
Dong Cane.
J. C. Trlbble of Due West sold 40 acres on
the road from Due West to Donalds for 83,500

For several years I was afflicted with Kidtrouble
and last winter 1 was suddenly
stricken with a severe pain in my kldneyB

taking Foley's Kidney Remedy, and
tbe palp gradually abated and finally ceased
and my urine became normal. I cheerfully
recommend Foley's Kidney Remedy. C. A.
