The Farm and the Farmer
BY William r. sanborn

tate of the late James NJ. Webster,
consisting of 9315 acres and farm
chattels, the land being located five
miles north of Richmond, on the Arba
pike, says that the realty brought
$500 an acre. He understands that
the buyer, John Davis, of Richmond,
bought the place simply as an invest
ment and does not intend to farm the
place himself
The sale drew large crowd and
there was some spirited bidding in
spots. In the live stock put up were
six horses, IL head of cattle and 48
Poland China hogs, some of them reg
lstered, including sows with pigs at
side. The hog clearance was made
at good figures; in fact fair prices
were realized all along the line. Mr.
Hall states that the chattels sold for
a total of $4,000. This reminds US
| that the sale of the chattels was held
on the T. S. Martin farm, Immediately
/ adjoining the Whistler property which
went under the hammer. One feature
OF this sale was the 65 acres of stand
ing corn. In view of the fact that this
corn brought up to $25 an acre a first
class crop is indicated.
Harry Gilbert, of the Second Ma
t1onal bank, made the settlements, and
the ladies of the church at Chester
served a satisfying and profitable
lunch to all corners.
