The largest real estate transaction in years in Jackson county and probably the largest single transac tion in the county was consummated on Monday, Aug. 30, 1900, when Rev. H. N Rainey sold his Mul berry property and lands adjacent to it, which aggregates lift acres, including his beautiful home. We have understood that the purchase price would approximate the sum of forty thousand dollars. Hie purchase was made through W. 11. Toole for himself, 11. T. Flanigan and A. A- Camp. W’e understand that the entire property will be taken , over by a syndicate and thoroughly dcvoloped, making about ten desir able farms, and establish around the home tract a bunch of summer cottages and develop Mulberry into a town site. If this plan is carried to execution it will meet with the hearty anuroval of the thinking peo ple; in that we believe the best thing that can he done now, is the subdivision of the large tracts into small farms owned and occupied by our white people.

In those communities composed largely of tenants, ignorance is rampant and school houses and churches arc scarce. Organize your syndicate, gentleman, buy up all the large tracts, divide them up and sell to energetic young farmers full of hope and something to live for, whose acts are not subservient to the will of a master and you will have ren dered your section a real service. Rev. Rainey is one of our wealth iest and best citizens and it is hop ed by the citizens of Winder that he will make this his future home. RUSHING THE LICENSE BUSINESS. Popular George Robinson, of Gwinnett, is doing a rushing license business. Some weeks age, accord ing to the Gwinnett Journal, a Ix>- ganville man put up a forfeit of $1,000.00 on the purchase price of a Gwinnett girl, and procured a license, but she refused to sign up. Then he brought suit to recover the forfeit and straightway purchased another set of ‘“conic unto me.’’ Now'the Journal tells us that a Gwinnett man has bought a license and bodily ‘ hooked” another man's wife without the formality of a divorce. If this keeps up, Judge Robinson should advertise old licenses taken in part payment for new ones.'' . Col. II S.
