An IMPORTANT SALE.

Last summer the EAGLE took the position
which it tried TO fortify by reason and pre-
cedents-that within ten years the cultivated
farms OF Sedgwick county would command
from sixty 10 seyenty-fye dollars an acre.
We were laughed at not q little for the wild
ness OF our prediction. Dozens of sales
made since the appearance of that article
but the more thoroughly couyinces US that
our prediction was correct ami reasoning
sound. The sale made by j. N. Steele last
week Of Josiah Rcaser's place is a case in
point. This place lies two miles below town
on the Chisholm and is. OF course, finely i'm
proved-one Of the finest improved places in
county, with large residence, good buildings,
orchards, vineyards. etc, and containing
240 acres of land. The place was bought by
MIR. j. =. Shuhart who paid $1,000 cash, or
SG23 per acre. MIR. Rea.er then turned right
around and bought VIM. Mat;hewson's low
or farm, containing $50 acres, for which he
paid MIR. Matthewson sl0,JO0. or 1927 per
acre. Mr.. Steele says there never was such
demand for finely improved farms in this
valley before.

sal satisfaction, Real what some Of them
say:
The New Orleans University Singers, q
double quartette composed of colored stu
dents Of that institution, appeared in the
Kansas Avenue Methodist Church last even
ing, and completely electrified all who heard
them. Their singing is most beautiful, full,
rich and harmonious, and IL superior to the
Fisk University troupe, or any other jubilee
singers we ever heard. Some of their cho-
ruses were particularly impressive, and the
chant of .sLord's Prayer" with which the
concert opened, was rendered magnifcently.
As whole, the concert was Of the very finest
description, and source Of surprise and de-
light TO the audience. -Atchison Champion.
BY special request, "Way Down Upon the
suwanee River" was sung-as never before
in Kansas City. Col. Waters. bubbling over
with music in his soul, interrupted the an
nouncement Of the last number by moving
that the s'Sinyers" be requestedto sing again
tonight, as great numbers were turned away
last evening, being unable to lind standing
room in the church.-Kansas City Times.
Never were sweeter voices raised in
worthier cause, and on special request they
will return, and we can assure them good
houses and . hearty welcome when they
come.-Wyandotte Republican.
