Online auction of Nicole Smith diaries fails
BEIJING, April 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Two bidders for two Anna Nicole Smith diaries pulled out of an online auction Saturday because of allegations the diaries had been stolen, an auction house spokesman said Sunday. The two diaries -- written in the early 1990s -- failed to sell and are now available for a minimum bid of 25,000 U.S. dollars each. "We have a buy-it-now situation," said Doug Norwine, the director of music and entertainment memorabilia at Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas. Among the two bidders' concerns were allegations by Smith's lawyer/partner, Howard K. Stern, the diaries had been stolen and should be returned to her estate, Norwine explained. "They just got cold feet," he said.
3 North Hanover farms to be sold at auction
The State Agriculture Development Committee will sell three permanently preserved farms in Burlington County at public auctions in June. The farms, all in North Hanover, are the 180-acre former Limm property on Meany Road, the 138-acre former Erb farm on Sykesville Road and the 310-acre former Russell farm on Jacobstown-Arneytown Road. The auctions will be held at 11 a.m. June 8, at the former Russell farm at 274 Jacobstown-Arneytown Road. Tours of the farms, where SADC staff will be available to answer questions, will be held on Wednesday at 10 a.m. for the former Limm farm, 10:45 a.m. for the former Erb farm and 12:30 p.m. for the former Russell farm. Farmland is most commonly preserved through the sale of development rights, in which landowners retain ownership of the land but give up the right to develop it for anything other than agricultural uses.
