The movement of real estste in
Blsir county has fallen off 76 (per
cent iu a yesr. This was learned
in a cursory investigation among
real estate men. Recorder of
Deeds Tbomss G. Peoples is
authority for ihe statement tbat
but 26 papers are placed on record
in his office now as compared
with 100 a year age, in a given
time. Real estate msn corroborate
thia statement, although it bos
not struck aU alike.
Dull ti noes snd non-employment
of course, sre blsmed chiefly for
tbe slump in sales, but it was
pointed oat by one real estate
man that other causes enter into
the situation. For instance, it wss
stated tbat daring tbe period
during and immediately following
the war when wage has increased
and tbe number ot wage earners
in each family had nearly doubled
due to the large number of
women and youths employed,
many people never before able to
own a home of their own had
purchased wltb their savings.
Some of them, of oourse bought
on payments   or  making sabs-
U lontis)  payments    had    placed
fori mortgages on their proerties. That
tbey have been able to  keep np
tbeir payments  is evidenced by
sad journey for tbs home ot ths
wife's yoeth and friends, tba
tuneral party having arrived
here Tuesday; sftemoon at 4.42.
The remains were taken to
home of L. W. Irwin snd wife,
on Maple avenue where they
viewed, by friends.
The services were held at tbs
home ot the parents Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock, being in
charge of Rev. Samuel Barber,
who also performed the ceremony
uniting her in marriage, and
were attended many sympathizing
friends. Interment was mads in
Logan Valley cemetery.
Marguerite Irwtn Wharton wss
a sweet womsn, of a lovable
character snd sll her life a faithful
member of the Presbyterian
church, where she took an active
part from her girlhood days snd
she died full of hope of a blissful
immortality. There is maoh
sorrow over ber esrly pasiog from
this life, yet there is joy to know
tbat all is well. $■■'$

there has been no slump, it ts not
smong the impossibilities.
A prominent realtor snd
builder declared tbst ths slowing
down of realty is not an indication there will be any dwindling in
the amount of building to be
aone. On the contrary, building
supplies and labor bave both
dropped with the result that a
most excellent building season is
contemplated. It is also stated
that the erection of larger buildings and houses is more probable
than small work or repairs, for
those who have planned for
building homes or business blocks
hove tbs money provided for the
work, whereas those comtemplat-
ing the erection of porches, repairs, garages sod tbe like, had
anticipated taking funds from
their monthly incomes, to do the
work sod now tbat this has been
lessened or cut oft entirely, there
will' bs but little done in that line.
