M.F. Butner, former superintendent of roads of this county, who has lived in Shoals township for years, is this week moving his family to Pine Bluff in Scotland county, near Aberdeen. Mr. Butner makes this move for the reason that he has taken charge of a large boundary of land in that section consisting of 6,500 acres. This land is owned by a large corporation and Mr. Butner has been employed to supervise the clearing of it and planting it in peach trees. The program of work as planned on will require several years of Mr. Butner’s time.
It is with regret that we see Mr. Butner leave Surry, and he carries with him the best wishes of a large circle of friends.
