The Smedley property located on
Cherry and Main streets in this
town was sold at public sale-Hind-
man auctioneer-on Monday for
$2475, III. III. Haines purchaser.
This property had a mortgage on
it about 20 years ago for $4,000, of
course the property was then valued
at much more than the mortgage.
Since that time it was sold for
$4,000. 1t had then dropped to
about half it's former value. Now
under the gold standard and the
"advanced agent" of returning
prosperity it sells at public auction
for little more than half its previous
price and about one fourth it's value
before silver was demonetized or
before the effects of demonstration
were felt. This is not an isolated
case, all the farm property in the
country has fallen, if not to one
fourth its former value, at least to
one half.
If you are due anything on sub
scription, pay it now. Delays are
dangerous. Send what you owe
and include as much in advance as
you can afford and that will make
start in good times.
