GrinneIl.
An important real estate deal was
made Tuesday whereby three Upton
men got possession of fifty-two lots in
Hadley's addition to Grinnell. and an
option on twenty-five acres adjoining
the plated portion on the east. The
fifty-two lots comprise twenty-four
acres. which We're sold at an advance of
about $3.50 per acre over the cost to Mr..
Hadley. 1t is very likely the Upton
men will buy the east twenty-five acres
at the price agreed upon and plat the
same into lots at once. Mr.. Hadley will
then have left thirty acres in the cor
poration and fine tract lying just out
side. We are informed that the Upton
men will offer the lots at auction soon.
