Townst,ip Farm Sets New Mark.

Continued activity, with slight fall
Ing off in the briskness with which city
property was moving, but an expansion
OF farm land movements and a lively
! interest in small town properties, were
! the features Of the realty market OF the
| county for the week. The transactions
for the week totaled 3s4,210. compared
| with $65,477 for last week, and $751;
$50 for two weeks ago.
Farm property represented SCI, 100 OF
| the total; $4,000 was the value OF the
city property transferred. The village
property changed owners at . total OF
| 1920.
The feature of the transactions was
| the sale of the Fred w. Wehrmann farm
of 1853 acres in Logan township to
Aaron Burris, of near Newton. Wehr-
mann is also Jasper county man
Burris paid $35,550 for the land. which
| is at the rate of $225 an acre, price
that very probably establishes the
! highest mark at which Logan township
property has ever changed hands.
Wehrmann took back q mortgage for
| $4,000 drawing per cent and running
| for ten years as part Of the purchase
Iprice. Old residents of Logan town
ship will remember the Wehrmann
farm better as the Henry Emmert
| farm.

straight south of Melbourne. 1t is a
good tract, but 1t is said the improve
ments are not exceptionally good.

NJ. Friend has sold to William E. Tom
linson the property at II North Eighth
street for $4,000. The lot is 60xs0 feet
| fronting the long way on Eighth street
This was one of the properties Friend
