Harper Property, Halfway Between
Slate Sanitarium And Allen’s Will
Be Sold in Lots oi May 10, Nexf,
One of the most interesting and im
portant announcements made in the local
real estate world recently is that of the
sale of the Harper tract in Midway,
which will go at auction May 10, next.
The property is one of the most valuable
places in Midway nnd contains several
desirable locutions and there is no poa
sibility of decrease in value because the
groat institutions there are continually
enlarging and there is no vacant house
in Midway now. With several new
dwellings erected on the propertv offer
ed for sale there is no doubt but that
they would he rented in advance of con
struction, for there is a great demard
r them. There w'H be approximately
C3 .ot3 in the new place.
The sale will be conducted by Mr. J.
O. Bloouworth, who is associated with
a party of local business men who | ur-
cliased the tract a few week ago. T! e
auction will be held Wednesday, May
10, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Any
one desiring elegant property in a desir
able section will no doubt be pleased
with an inspection of the place in ques
tion and Mr. Bloodworth will be glad to
givo full particulars. It offers an op
