D. e. Stranger Makes $4,000 Land
Deal Wednesday.
NOW OWNS BLAcHLEY ESTATE
Last of NONRESIDENT Land In the
County. Biggest Deal Ever
Made In County. 1850
Acres In Deal.

The biggest land deal of recent
years in AUDUBON county was made
last Wednesday when the entire
Blachley estate was transferred
from the heir through DIR. Blachley
to D. E. Stranger of this place.
Mr.. Stranger has by this deal be-
come the owner of the last large
body of nonresident land in Au-
dubon county and his manipulation
of this deal at such a low figure
considering the quality of the land
and favorable conditions of the
buildings and Improvements,
marks him at the head in real es-
tate business in this community.
He expects to again throw this
land on the market and as he got
it at low figure, will be able to sell
it at low figure. The tract is now
divided into six quarter section
farms with fair improvements on
each; the remainder in smaller
farms. When he has them ready
to offer to the market some one is
going to get bargains for they will
sell below the average farm.
This closes up, as it were, the non
resident land business in this coun-
ty. All the land now is owned by
people in the county and is sure to
increase in value for it is being
bought and improved as perma-
nent homes and the value will be
above $500 per acre any place in the
| county in less than two years.
