Marion I. Adams to Move to “Black Belt” of Mississippi.

Marlon I. Adams Is on his way back from a trip to the "black belt” of Mississippi and Alabama, where he purchased 540 acres of land. His sons, Ray and Lee, recently prospected there and brought home such glowing accounts that their father decided to go there and look over the country. The result the purchase above related. The farm he bought Is close to land owned and occupied by Winifred Pullins, who has been making a big success in the south. Mr. Adams has decided to sell his fine farm 3% miles southeast of Rensselaer and has advertised to dispose of it at public auction on Tuesday, September 24th. The farm is well improved and Mr. Adams had expected to make it the home of himself and family for many years to come. It is probable that th ere win be a n umber of bidders on hand when the -fatm is; sold by Col. Fred Phillips. Rensselaer people will regret to learn of Mr. Adams* decision to leave Jasper county, but aB will wish him and his excellent family tfbupdant success in the sunny south.
