Half Section of Land in Hayes Town.
ship Sold at Public Auction-Mart
Mccullough the Purchaser.

The selling of the 800 acre farm 10.
Gated in section seventeen, Hayes
township, at auction, Tuesday, at
tracted many people to the farm. The
farm was sold at public auction and
Malone Bros. were the auctioneers.
The farm was first sold in quarters,
with the understanding that it would
be offered again in one piece and if
the price received was greater when
sold in one piece it would be so sold.
The north quarter was first offered
buildings. The first offer was SITS
per-acre and it was conditionally sold
to Mart Mccullough for S246. The
other quarter was then offered. The
first bid was $125. Sam Mccullough
owned this for few minutes. The
entire tract was then offered for sale
and the first bid was $201 per acre.
By slow degrees it reached $219 and
passed into the ownership of Mart
Mccullough. He will make nice
piece of money on his investment, for
he has cultivated the habit of doing
this. This farm was sold to settle
the estate of Elizabeth Ayers and was
sold for cash. If time had been given
10 doubt the price received would
have been greater. Even at that there
were about seven biddrs on the prop
erty, which gives an idea of the
wealth of the community. The Ma.
lone Bros. handled the sale nicely and
proved themselves versed in the art
IF selling great chunks of farm land
at public sale.
