DEALS ARE PLENTIFUL. Although the price of faiming lands, as well as town lots, remain higher than ever before in the history of this County; land deals are going ahead move often than usual judging by the great number of ilecds and mortgages that are being filed for record in the Clerk of Court's office. Some of our people have just become awakened to the intrinsic value of land. In former years all the high priced land seemed to be in other Counties, while Horry lands were not valued so highly. The price of farming land has advanced so much that the cost of a farm is [ibout the same as in other Counties kvhere agriculture has appeared to be in advance of that in Horry until recent years. o LORIS POSTMASTER.
