Hayes called R. E. Knox by telephone
Thursday morning, asking what he
had in Parker county in a good stock
farm. Upon receiving the reply that
he could be provided with what be
wanted he took the train for Weather-
ford, arriving here late Thursday-aft
ernoon. They looked at the. Hum
farm and before noon Friday had fin-
ished the whole transaction. An ab-
stract had already been examined 'by
H. C. Shropshire, who happened to be
Mr. Haynes’ attorney, to examine -.he
papers and no delay was- caused
through this side of the deal. Mr.
Hayes is to move on the place Nov.
I, 1918, Mr. Hum remaining on the
farm until that time.
The farm is four and a half miles
from Weatherford on the Jacksboro
road and is one of the best stock
farms in the country, having about lV5-
acres in creek bottom land ia rtdtiya
tion and 250 acres of fencedO'
goat proof pasture with llvibg stater.
Mr. Hayes was reared,' ih- Denton'
county and said he would not leave
there but for the fact that Ifcnd has
gone too high for his purposes and'
was soon convinced that Parker coun-
ty affords the kind of home that he*
desires.
This is the fifth Parker county firm
the Knox Realty Co. has, sold this
week to men outside of the county-
coming here to live, the total cash-
sales of the farms amounting to $38,-
430. Mr. Knox says the deal's ire-
through advertising the merits of Par-
ker county, and that largely' through*
newspaper advertising.

The Htabit of’ Taking Cold.
With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is eas-
ily broken. Take a cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed—not ice cold, but a tempera-
ture of about 90 degrees F. Also-
sleep with your window up. Do this
and you will seldofti take cold. When
you do take cold take Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and get rid of it as
quickly impossible. Obtainable every-

HURN’S FARM SELLS FOR
$21,250 TO DENTON MAN
What is considered one of the big
gest farm sales made in Parker coun-
ty in several months was made Friday
through the Knox Realty Co., when
the 500-acre farm of L. D. Hurn sold
for $21,250. He received the whole
amount in spot cash and the whole
transaction was made in only a few
hours, closing up title, delivery of mon-
ey' and all. Thfe buyer is John S.
Hayes of Denton county. He had’sold
bis farnr there, saying Denton county
land is getting too high for him.
A peculiar feature of the deal was
till shortness of the time in which the
whole affair/ was closed up. Mr.
