High Price for Land.
The old Evans eighty situated :
" ' two miles out of Verdon was sold :
to Christ Fisher this week for
$100.50 an acre.
The reniarkable thing about
Otis price is , that thc farm is n..k- .
cd land not even being fully fenc-
ir. cd. If there is another county in
the state that can beat this wc
would be glad to hear from it.
