High Price for Augusta Land.

On Saturday last. VIM. Patrick, 20 NJ
missioner, made the highest salA of land
that has been known for many years in
Augusta. 1t was the VIM. NJ. Bush farm.
about mile GU side of the town of Way
nesboro, and it brought eighty -t,co dollars
an acre, or $13 255 for the whole. The
purchaser was W. Cary Smith. This farm
has been in the Bush family for three gen.
erations. Martin Bush came from Penn
sylvania with Casper Conner, and in his
employment. BY work he got two loads
OF flour. sold 1t. and with the money
bought, for IS cents an acre, the land that
sold Saturday at $50. Martin Bush died
there and left the farm to his son JAMES
S. Bush who also died there and left it to
VIM. M. Bush, whose recent death there
we recorded. To show what estimate
they put on the land in that vicinity in
old times; old Casper Conner was offered
500 acres Of it in his day at two shillipgs
an acre and refused it. remarking that he
had sten two wild turkeys there that he
would rather have than the whole tract.
Now, 1t is hard to buy it at $lU0 ap acre.
