A lew months age sale Of section Of
land was something to be talked Of as
"largs DEAL" but now that heavy eastern
investors have commenced TO flock to

be considered large. This last week has

chase Of the year. E. A. Waasworth and
w. Burnside, his fsther-ia-law, both of
Iowa, have daring the past two months
purchased OF Gordon & Lamb over six

land west Of town and brssk up the entire
farm with plows attached to stsan
