520,000 FOR NESBITT
FARM BY R. E. BUTLER
Big Realty Deal made This
Week By William
Tate Holland.
William Tate Holland added one
more large real estate sale to his
record for handling big sales this
week in the sale of the farm of the
late Col. R. T. Nesbitt.
The price paid was $20,000 and
the purchaser was Mr. R. E. Butler,
Mr. Holland-is one of the best
posted real estate men in Georgia
and keeps up with the trend of values
so that when he gets hold of a good
piece of dirt he knows what it is
worth and as he usually has more
customers to buy than he has prop
erty to offer he turns what he takes
hold of into new hands in short or
der.
Mr. Butler, who bought the Nes
bitt farm is so familiar with Cobb
county property that if you name
a farm or tract of land he can almost
tell you the record of title withont
‘stopping to think twice. He will
take this fine farm, which is about
three and a half miles from Marietta
on the Powder Springs road and af
ter making some improvementis will
take possession for a permanent res
idence,
Cobb County has not really been
half way started yet in the way cf
development and with the fast im
provment of her main roads property
is going to get up in the air for the
natural spread of population froin
the growth of Atlanta and the de
mands of the Atlanta produce mar
kets Cobb will be expected to furnish
a large part of the food for tens of
thousands of people in our capital
city.

MR. W. M. McKENZIE
PASSED AWAY TUESDAY
Promiuent Capitalist Claimed|
By Death Aiter Long
Illness.
Mr. William M. McKenzie, one of
Atlanta’s wealthiest residents, for
many years a citizen of Marietta,
died at his home, Brookwood, Tues
day afternoon, after an illness of
several months. His death was m)t“
unexpected. In fact, months ago}
Mr. McKenzie, with that remarkabl=
foresight which characterized him
began to put his business affairs in
such shape that they would not re
quire his personal attention and
when he realized that his condition
was hopeless faced the end with
calm resignation and unfaltering
trust.
He was a man of unusual mental
as well as physical strength and was
a power in the business world. He
was born in Macon County fifty-six
years ago, where his father, Andrew
McKenzie, was a large planter.
When quite a young man Mr. Mc-
Kenzie came to Marietta and enter
“ed business as a clerk. He advanced
rapidly in his career and later form
ed connections in Atlanta. As his
interests grew he was identified with
both this city and Atlanta. He was
one of the leading spirits in the Ma
rietta Fertilizer Company, the At
lanta Oil & Fertilizer Co. and other
great properties. He invested heavi
‘ly in real estate and as his fortune
"mounted higher and higher he or
iganized the McKenzie Trust Com
pany. He was recognized as one of
'Atlanta's most prominent capital
ists.
Mr. McKenzie was married to Miss
Eula Cantrell, of Columbus, and she
has been a tower of strength to him,
a safe adviser in planning his splea
did business career. She survives him
]with their two sons, Messrs. Mar
t shall C.,, and Harold C. McKenzie,
.Mrs. D. W. Blair, of Marietta, is a
sister of Mr. McKenzie. Mr. McKen
zie also leaves two brothers, Messrs
George M. McKenzie and J. H. Me-
Kenzie. He was a mebmer of the
First Methodist Church in Atlanta.
‘ The funeral was held in Atlanta

was in West View Cemetery.
.The death of Mr. McKenzie is a
distinct loss to the business world
of Atlanta and a great blow to his
large circle of devoted friends. The
members of his family have the deep
and tender sympathy of thousands
who knew him and appreciated the
strength of his character and his
worth to Georgia.
