SCHOOL LAND SALE

held in this county, there is no doubt that
there were some very elegant bargains
made by purchasers on Tuesday. We
venture to say that the state made
money on all the land not sold, as at the
next sale it will! probably bring much
larger sums than the appraised values
at the present time.
None of this unsold land can now be
purchased until another sale is adver-
tised. Those holding rental leases on
the sold lands will have to surrender
their titles to the new purchasers, as
the lease reads subject to sale.
The following is list of the lands
sold, price paid and purchasers.

The offerings for the day amounted to

beautifully chaste and unique design,
and an ornament to the town.
The dear housewives opened their
hospitable doors and cordially provided
