thunderstorms and the lightning
Sunday night was fierce in it's dis
play. The water came down in

we are able to learn.

Evans Marquesen last week made
a couple of good land deals. Evans
has some of the very best land in
this county and elsewhere listed for
sale. BY the way, Mr. Marquesen
/ sestablishinga reputation for turn
ing good farms in this and adjoin-

facility and ease that attracts per-
sons having land to sell.
People have asked us the ques-
| ton. rs not $3S7.50 an acre too
much to pay for farm land in
Iowa?" 1t may be too much in some
parts of Iowa, but not around the vi
cinity of Audubon county, Iowa. No,
| people are not going crazy over
Iowa land They just simply real
ize the value of land in this locality
and know that it will always be
sought after. Better get hold of a
chunk while it is dirt cheap. We
know personally of farm not a
great many miles southeast of town
that $500 an acre will not buy and
doubt if IL can be purchased for
5000. In fact the owner will not
set price for fear it will be snap
ped up.
