Second; I will and bequeth to my Son Davy Tell Wall the farm on which he has resided 15 years (known as the T. M. Wise home) about 50 acres and this farm is valued at $4000 and this accounts for the provision in above paragraph that Willie Grady Wall shall pay or settle with Davy Tell Wall shall pay or settle with Davy Tell Wall in the amount of $1500 to even these farms as equally divided between them.

It is a part of this bequeth regarding both above farms that they are entailed with the provision that they are willed to them and their
