REAL ESTATE CHANGES IN AUGUSTA.

REAL ESTATE CHANGES IN AUGUSTA.
There are more real estate changes In
Augusta now4than was ever known in the
memory of this generation. Since the last
term of the County Court nearly one hun
dred deeds have been recorded, being just
about twice as many as the usual mum Der.
OF these, some were partitions and divis-
ions of dead mems estate. A few days
since we noticed the fact that on last court
day twelve farms were buIletined for sale
by Mr.. E. M. Gushing the county auc-
tioneer, and of them he informs us nine
were sold. They were purchased by per-
sons residing in the country. Mr.. Cush-
ing who has large experienc in land SELL
ing tells us that the average price OBJ
tanned for what are called good farming
lands in this county is from $25 to $2s per
acre. Excellent farms may be obtained in
Augusta at that price. Of course there are
higher priced and lower, but a man who
expects to make good living out of his
farm and save money can get good one
here at $25 an acre.

excitement in Revenue circles some months

Office from Harrisonburg to Staunton. He
was an active officer of the service and had
made himself so obnoxious in Southwest
tern Virginia that an attempt was made
to assassinate him, in which he was shot
and manned for life. He has gone to Wash
in gton to ascertain the cause of his remov-
al, and being what is called troublesome
man will probably make things warm for
whoever hoisted him. Mr.. Thompson of
