5. Emley has sold his l6O.acre
farm east of town for $3.50 an acre.
MIR. Emley bought this farm nine.
years ago. During this time he has
lived comfortably, enjoying life as we'll
or better than the average Of mankind,
and has 100000 more money than
when he bought the farm. We are
sorry to say to our readers that after
such prosperity, during a time of gen
eral depression, Mr.. Emley has decided
that other places hold out and really
have greater inducements. He left
for Grand River, Decatur county, to
invest in cheaper land which he ex-
poets to use for a stock farm. We hope
he may yet decide to live with us and
go on prospecting and adding to the
wealth, growth and advancement of
our county. w. H. Kitford, of Carroll
county, the gentleman that made the
purchase, has been for a number of
years one that county's best farmers,
and the people of this section are glad
the farm will be settled by another
representative farmer.
