Marshall Pryor Buys
Another Farm
Tuesday Marshall Pryor bought
the Frank Rider farm, four miles
southwest of Nemaha, paying
$5,000 for it. The farm contains
49.60 acres, and thus brings with
in a fraction o $101 an acre.
Mr. Rider bought the farm eight
years ago, paying $40 an acre for
it all it was worth at that time.
All the improvements on it then,
though, was an old house and an
old stable. Mr. Rider built a
house costing $1,000, a barn,
fenced the farm, and made some
other improvements, changing
its appearance from an old run
down farm to its present state of
one of the nicest looking little
farms in the community. He
has made the farm pay right
along and now gets two and a
half times as much as he paid
for it. He doesn't expect to
leave here right away, as he has
leased the farm for the coming
year.
Dr. Frazier made a profession
al trip to Shubert Friday night

Brilliant. Meteors
Two brilliant meteors were
seen by many of our citizens
Monday evening, They appeared
about 6:50 p. m. The first one
was in the southern sky. The
second one followed in a minute
or two. It was in the eastern
sky pretty well overhead. The
last one was the most brilliant,
I lighting up everything as bright
as midday. The light resembled
bright electric light. After go
ing in a northerly direction it
exploded. The comets had bril
liant tails streaming after them.
The second meteor especially pre
sented a magnificent appearance.
We understand at Shubert three
meteors were seen.
We had the pleasure of meet
ing our old friend W. H. Stowell,
1 former editor of the Auburn Re

money since he quit the printing

to become a bloated bondholder.
