Dec . 12- Surprise fol lowing the announcement that Mr. John P. Caldwell , had sold his fine farm just east of town had hardly ceased when the information -was re ceived that Mr. - S. J. Christehbury,' whose plantation lies a little ; further east and'south of the Caldwell place,' attract of some 160 acres, is going to advertise - the same ? for -sale.- It is understood that Mr. Chrlstenburys figures are $50 an acre.

It is . generally conceded , that tne Messrs. McConnell secured a . bargain. in.:the Caldwell f arml Some of that fend is thought to be worth nearly 1200 an acre.
