John sawyer Of Princeton. Ill., and his sister,
Mrs, Lillian Hussey of Geneseo. were with Rev
IL \ Goodhue and Mrs VI T. Miller their cous.
ms, Tuesday and Wednesday. Their father
Anthony sawye r, is a brother of Mrs Ira Good
hue, few years younger than she is. Mr. Saw
yer went TO Illinois 60 ears ago ana settled upon
a large farm, seven miles from Princeton in lsi2
IL was then a very new country. but Is now a fine
farming region Nth land worth from $50 TO slOd
an acre. The Sawyers own a farm Of more than
80 acres and are engaged chiefly IN raising cattle
and swine for market. They have some 20 or 70
acres In corn every year and about p in oats
Every acre IN their farm can be cultivated Mr.
HuSsry is superintendent OF schools for Geneseo
which is about forty miles from Princeton II re-
qulrts large ca pita now 10 own and run a farm
IN that region. Mr. Sawyer says that no Young
man with no more than one or two thousand dol
lars need expect to buy farm there and be able
10 pay on mortgage. The interest up1n the
large amount required i'll surely eat up the
whole annual profit He does not think much Of
the little patches which farmers here cultivate
nut he would advise the young man 10 put In his
thousand dollars here, where he NAV expect 10
clear the debt after a time, rather than to think
west, he might have located ms ID acres in Chi
caEu as well as Ia Princeton at even less cost but
Il was rot good farming land and that is What he
was after then.
