Farm Brings Good Price
Samuel Cox, who lived just one
half mile west of Murdoek, last
Thursday sold his farm home, which
J consisted of SO acres of good Cass
county dirt, and with but moderate
improvements thereon at the rate of
$;',7r per acre or $30,000,000 for the
SO acres. The purchaser was John
Bornemeier, who well knows the val
ue of the land which he has been
purchasing. While this seems a good
price at this time it no doubt will
sell for a greatly advanced figure
before it has been owned long by Mr.
liornemeier, and if not will have en
hanced in price in his possession.
Cas3 County land Good Property
The sale of the 70 acres of land
which was formerly owned by Jacob
Gochry has been disposed of by him
to G. Paur and Joan Iieckmeyer ot
Murdoek at a figure which is consid

abuts the city of Murdoek and has
the house in the city. Mr. Goehry
