SELLS HIS FARM AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

<J. B. Andrews last week contracted the sale of his 320 acre farm and all the personal property on the place except his household goods to Leslie Clark, of Rensselaer, Ind., who has been here since the latter part of November looking after his large interests. Included in the personal property is 35 head of cattle, 20 head of hogs, three mules, 40 goats, 400 barrels of corn, hay, farm implements, etc. On the place is the fine seven room bungalow built last year and one good tenant house, now occupied by Mr. Brown and family. The farm joins Mr. Clark’s plantation on the rear, is nearly all bottom land and it is estimated that there ds 1,000,000 feet of standing timber on the place.' As soon as the contract for the place was signed Mr. Clark got busy and sold the place to August Minks, of Detroit, Mach., who bought the place on Mr. Clark’s recommendation. Mr. Minks has never seen the farm. He will come here at once to take possession of the place and in a telegram he states that he may start for here in his auto this week. Mr Clark has been instumental in locating feeveral families from the North in Amite county, and this is the sixth farm he has sold without the purchasers first inspecting them, which shows the confidence in which he is held in his home state. Mr. Clark’s own investments here shows that he has faith that the South is the coming country. Amite County (Miss.) Tribune.
