Probably one of the largest
loans ever made in the country on
land was made last week by w E
Sweeney, the amount being $40, 900
on 1900 acres. The time was but

would have been sufficient to
mortgage several townships of
land. Our prediction is that in u
few more years less than section
of land will call for Il loan of that
amount.-Ihe Fairplay.
