THE ACKERMAN RECORD
OCTOBER 18, 1901, Vol. 3, No. 32 (CONTINUED)
LOCALS (Continued): Edgar G. Harris, who presides over the Lexington Progress columns, spent last Sunday in town. Ed Harris has a gift for newspaper work as evidenced in the make-up, get-up and splendid editorials that each week make the columns of the Progress glow as if lighted with a coal from off the altar of genius. - It was our pleasure to have a call this week from our long-time friend, John C. McWhorter, who is in the employ of H. C. Dodge, of Fitzhugh, Sunflower county, Mr. Dodge being the agent for the sale of between 50,000 and 100,000 acres of the rich lands in Sunflower and Quitman counties. Mr. McWhorter is the agent and representative of Mr. Dodge, Mr. McWhorter says that the lands will be sold in any size lots desired on installment plan, on easy terms. Mr. McWhorter states to us that the land is very valuable, the timber on it being worth the price asked for the land. We are glad to know our friend John has such a pleasant and remunerative job and advises any of our Choctaw friends who are thinking of investing in lands to see him while he is here.
Messrs. Reuben C. Jones and E. A. Brantly of Louisville were here for a few hours Tuesday. - Our friend John A. Nason was in town this week and ordered the RECORD and thrice-a-week New York World. Mr. Nason is a relative of that greatest of American lawyers the late Chas. O’Connor, of New York, and in his subscribing for newspapers as wisely as he did shows that Mr. Nason is a wise man on his own account.
