 good prices.

 farms have been sold this fall. Prices range from $100 to $2.50 per acre. 



Report of Fair — Held September 2-5. We had an extra good show of 

 horses and ponies. Only one herd of cattle on exhibition and the swine 

 show was about as usual. We anticipate a better fair next year.
