A FINE FARM NEAR WINDER
CHANGES HANDS THIS WEEK
Mr. June IJ. Wopd sold for the
owner this week the former home
place of Mr. Hilliard Maynard on
the Lawrenceville road, two and a
half miles from town. The price
paid was more than $365.00 per
acre. Land on the Bankhead
Highway sells at a fine price ev
ery time it changes hands.
It is understood that the pur
chaser intends to make this place
his home and that he will do con
siderable improving on the place.
Farm lands in Barrow county,
are continually climbing in price
and it is bard to find the man now
who thinks it has reached the top.
Imagining that land was at tl
top price has caused many a good
man being a renter when he might
have been the owner of his own
home. A few times, during de
pression and panic, land has stood
still for awhile, but who ever
knew it to go down in price?
