TO THOSE INTERESTED IN ADAMS COUNTY INVESTMENTS. Dear Friends: We have an attractive farm (not quite 80 acres) that we believe is certain to prove interesting to you. One half black ground, sixty-four acres in cultivation last year, yield excellent; well tiled; fences good; 8 room modern house, 30x16, 12x14 and 12x34, cost $1800.00; barn 36x90, fair condition, but good roof; good natbuildings; the hog house cost $600.00; value of buildings. $3500.00; drove well and windmill; on stone road conveniently located. This all reads pretty well, doesn't it? It sound like $175.00 per acre but can be bought for great deal less than $125.00 per acre.
