BODY OF CHILD
FOUND IN PERRY
Kpevlel te The Georgian.
Perry, Om., May 52.—The body of a
child, auppoeed to be not more than
twelve houra old, waa found In New
Hope, a negro euburb of Perry, by
Rhoda Dennard, colored. Coroner Schil
ling waa notified and an Inqueat held.
After examining the child and question
ing Rhoda, the Jury adjourned over
until Thursday.
There la aomethlng, Inspiring and
keenly Interesting about an enthuel
aatlc and well conducted auction sale
of real eatate. In contraat to the so
ber, uerloua, expectant look on the up
turned faces of the men, there la a
fluttering of ribbons and the waving of
plumes, revealing the . presence of the
opposite sex, dressed as for a holiday
occasion. Even the little ones are
brought out to enjoy the fresh air, sun
shine nnd green trees.
The munager Issues a call for order,
makes his little statement, and the
auctioneer takes hla stand, shouting
forth the bids as made by the purchas
er. Here and thero a timid bidder,
whether a man or a woman, lifts a
Anger, or nods the head, each nod and
each uplifted Anger Indicating a will
ingness to swap the cash for real es
tate. The timid bidder and the bold
trader each nerves himself to outreach
the other, until Anally the lot Is knock
ed down, and the purchaser has made
his trade.
The demand for real estate, the prof.
Its that have been made and are being
made, lend seat and acute Interest to
these affairs, both the man of wealth
and the cltlxen of moderate means ex
pressing the limit of his ability and
willingness to buy as Axed by the
amount of his bid.
One of the most Interesting sales of
the season was that of Tuesday In fa
mous old West End, the property sold
being that held for so many years by
the Williams estate, of Richmond, Va.
In February, 1906, this property was
bought by a syndicate of several gen
tlemen. Graders, house-movers, sew
er contractors and plumbers were put
to work. Approximately 36,990 waa
spent In grading, moving nnd reno
vating old houses, and In putting In
sewers In alleys, running water pipes,
gas pipes, etc. Soon they had one of
