The property is situated on a broad ridge, and is trav ersed by roads to all three towns and cross roads besides. The prices are moderate, running from $500 for the best locations on the Bennett street extension,, down to $100 for the farm sites farther back, from the towns. Lots of various sizes from a couple of acres up to farm, size have been plotted, and roads reach, all of these commissioners is chosen, ana ii a strictly business policy is to be pursued. Thi3 meeting will be far from po litical. It will have for its aims the welfare of Southern Pines, and it will sponsor some decided forward moves.

These lots are about three fourths of an acre in size, and they sold for $1,500 each. This is probably the biggest prica ever received for Sandhill lands outside of any corpora tion, a mile or more from a railroad station, and wholly in the black jacks. William Bloodgood, of Montclair, New Jersey, was the buyer, and i he also bought a membership in the Mid Pines club for $2,500 through Mr. Richardson at the same time. He will build a winter home on the lots, and he expects to bring some of his friends with him to settle for the winter in the Knollwood. section. Mr. Bloodgood and his wife have been winter visitors at Southern Pines and Pinehurst for several years. EXPLAINS PLIGHT OPR. &C. ROAD "Why don't you tell some Scotch jokes?" This question was asked me by a " lady who has been reading this series -of letters, but was doubtless tired of the "little old sorry things" I have been writing about. And, although I . had intended to go to church in this letter, it is better or. rather not so bad to tell a joke before going to church than after returning from church. So I promised this lady I would try my hand on a few Scotch joke3 this week; but since we are speaking of church and jokes in the ' same sentence, we will just strike a compromise and tell such jokes as may in a measure relate to church'es, preachers and presenters. The presenter is a disappearing in stitution in Scotland, but not yet so -completely disappeared as with us. I, still a young man, remember when the presentor at Union church was an important dignitary. Fifty years agor if a newspaper writer volunteered to tell his readers what a presentor was, he would be accused of "carry ing coals to Newcastle," too common to be interesting; but I doubt if half the younger readers of the Moore County News today ever heard of presentor. For the benefit of these, I will mention that a presentor is the Judge McConnell Says Although the man who "raised" the tunes and lined The Dlans all forpo tenorajyj worfc.in tnat country.

It may be imagined that the meet ing will be an interesting one, for when figures like this for plans of this character are involved the time has passed for palaver, and the hour has arrived for serious discussion of big things. Business men of the town act ing with the commissioners have had blue prints made of the proposed im provements and will present to the meeting the proposition in intelligent shape, and a big attendance of men and women is asked. The women are registering in the -town to vote at the forthcoming election, and never in the history of Southern Pines has such an important affair come up . . This is one of the direct results of the big stimulus the Knollwood move ment is having on the Southern Pines section. . ated at a Loss, Creditors. Will Be Satisfied Before Date of Sale. Says Moore Cobfy Land Is Assessed Too High The Board of Commissioners and the County, Board of Appraisers and Review, meetins jointly as a County Board of Review, Monday, "decided that the average assessed value of all real property in Moore County, ex cept town property, is, 25 per cent in excess! of its actual value; and that the averaged value of all real prop erty in incorporated towns and all real property situated in unincorpor ated towns to the extent of the streets laid off and established therein, is 10 per cent in excess of the real value. These' finding will be reported to the State Tax Commission, and if adopted, mean that farm lands will be reduced 25 per cent and town property 10 per cent ;t ' . i i ... ; ; ' has her office at the factory in Wheeling, but the whole United States is her field, and she is not at the home place much of her time. Her work consists in the most complete illumination of the virtues of glass jar work, and the best method of pre serving food by the help of this agen cy. When she was in France she put up such a plea for help in her French work that the concern she is now with sent her a carload of glass jars, and they said later that a woman who could pull a car of jars out ot them could earn her salary working for the company, and they hired1 her. Mrs. Davi3 has had a remarkable exnerience in Europe. Three times she went to France, on the later ex peditions under the directions of the French government, and she made . a decided success of introducing Ameri can practices into the land of those defenders of Europe. But she never meant to stay away from heme very long, and she is well content to have the foreign task off her hands. She has a farm between rinehurst and Southern Pines on which she is planting a peach orchard, and In the future she will give more of her time and attention to this section in which she left many friends when the Da vises; went to New York from Moore county. She can talk French like the mistaken genius who ' invented that funny language, but she likes the roominess of Texas and the rest of the U. S. A .

"Ye do't. a' the same, though," in-. 6isted the presentor. "Sandy, I respect your opinion," said the minister, "but I am satisfied that I am innocent of the charge you have preferred against me, and I now call upon you, if ever on any fu ture occasion you shall hear me exag-1 gerate in the pulpit you will call me down there and then just by whis tling a low, thin whistle."
