RECORD PRICE FOR FARM.
Land Value in chiekasaw County
Trsblss in Five Years Time.

Special to Times Republican.
New Hampton, June 30.-Five years
ago William Carroll purchased forty
acre farm. one mile west of New
Hampton. paying the fabulous sum OF
$50 per acre. For this bit Of foolish
! ess his friends joked him to such an
extent that he was ashamed to come
to town. All of which sounds like a
fable, but 1t is the truth. A few days
ago MIR. Carroll sold this same farm for
$500. nearly trebling his money in
five years, realizing Il net profit of So
900. His jocular neighbors now are
wondering who was foolish and who
was wise. Mr.. Carroll has lived on the
farm these five years, during which the
land has yielded many times the needs
of the family, thus adding extra pro-
fit to his investment. The present
crop, valued at not less $1,000, belongs
to Mr.. Carroll, as he does not give pos
session until the 1st Of March, The
new owner is +. Bettin, of Richland
township. who has purchased the place
for a home for his retirement. AS far
as can be known this price exceeds
anything ever paid for a Chickasaw
county farm.
