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. For Infants and Children, W. SMITH, PreaL O. M. Eld ridge, V. P. N. M.
