BENEFIT OF The Wheeling
Gazette states that in 1910 the average as.
scssed value of lands in Marion county was
$3.50 per acre; and IN 1850 it is $3.50 per

real estate Of near four hundred per cent.
This increase is almost wholly owing TO the
fact that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
being made through The county.
