The McKay Hill school likewise

capacity point.
Supt. A. G. Miller expressed grati

three public schools. Former pupils,

without a moment’ delay the classes

New I’uplls Are Enrolled.
While It seemed next to Impossible
to crowd other pupils' Into the schools,
In excesa of the number attending the
fall session, provision was made for
the thirty newcomers at Furlow school
and none were turned away.
But In future there will be no more
of crowded rooms. Before the end of
the spring session the splendid new
school building now In process of con

be completed and ready for occupancy.
And this splendid addition will meet

AGED CITIZEN IS DEAD
AT DOME IN PLAINS.
William Jennings Has Passed Away
There.
Mr. William Jennings died at his
home, eight miles south of Plains, on
Thursday, after n lingering Ill
ness. st the age of 74. Mr. Jennings
was familiarly known as "Uncle Bil
lie,” and bad n wide acquaintance
throughout this section of the state,
he haring served his fellow-country
men In the capacity of state represen
tative for one or more terms.
He was a member of the Dawson
Camp of Confederate Veterans. Dur
ing the war between the states he
served in the Thirteenth South Caro
lina regiment, Grigg s brigade; was In
tha front In the Battle of Gettysburg,
and lost his arm In a small skirmish
In the retreat from Gettysburg.
Mr. Jennings was one of the number
who. about the year 1878. came to this
country from Sooth Carolina, and has
been ever since at the front toward
the development of his section. A
good friend and neighbor and father
and grandfather of some of the
staunchest citizens of Tarretl and
Sumter counties.
He baa been a life member of the
Lutheran church. In which he has held
many olfices of responsibility, both In
the local and the state church. The
funeral was conducted from the old
church at Bottaford Friday afternoon.
Twenty-six thousand dollars waa tho
handsome consideration In tho sale
of the Spring Creek plantation In Sum
ter county to Mr. R. T. Humber of
Stewart. The sale baa been finally ef
fected and Mr. Humber adds a second
plantation to hla already large farm
ing Interests in this county.
The Spring Creek plantation con
sists of 1,500 acres fertile farming
lands and is considered one of the
best cotton farms In Sumter county.
It lies about sixteen miles east of
Americus, and formed part of the
well-known Johnston estate on Flint
River. Not only Is the land very pro
ductive, but It lies upon one of Sum
ter's “good roads,” a fact which lends
enhancement to all realty values.
More than a year ago Mr. Humber
purchased for 117,000 a fine farm ad
joining the 8prlng Creek, farm, and he
thus acquires about 3,000 acres of ex
cellent lands in one of the beat farm
ing sections of Sumter at a total coat
of $43,000. And the Investment will
prove an excellent one.
Already the farm purchased last
year at $17,000 has enhanced greatly
in value since that time.
But It la not for sale, aa Mr. Hum
ber appreciates the rapid enhance
ment In realty values here, especially
in farming lands penetrated by good
roads. He knows full well that there
is no better or safer Investment, or
one that assures more substantial casn
returns.
And there are many othera who see
It from the same business viewpoint,
and will act accordingly.
Within the past two months the sale
of farming labds In Sumter county,
and all tributary to Americus, aggre
gated more than a quarter million dot
lars. Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, nearly all of It foreign capital,
thus Invested In real estate here by
new settlers.
One large realty owner alone sold,
during the month of December, lands
aggregating more than $100,000, and
still holds all he needs.
This Influx of new and substantial
planters, and their Investment of auch
an enormous sum as $250,000 In farm
ing lands here, means a vast deal tor
Sumter, and la a magnificent adver
tisement to the world at large' of her
many advantages as a place of resi
dence and Investment.
And others are coming llkawlao to
aid in the material growth and pros
perity of the banner county of all
Southern Georgia.
