Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 257, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 October 1910 — A. J. Harmon Returns From Mitchell and Will Winter Here. [ARTICLE]

A. J. Harmon Returns From Mitchell and Will Winter Here.

A. J. Harmon and family arrived in Rensselaer Thursday evening and will remain here during the winter. He has been engaged since last spring In the real estate business in Mitchell, §.-Bak„ and Mrs. Harmon and the children have been living at LaSalle, 111. Rus will engage in the auctioneering business 'in Jasper county this winter and return to Mitchell in the spring. He reports considerable activity in Davison county real estate and some former Jasper county people have figured in it. Jasper Kenton, who about five years ago bought a section of land there, paying S2B per acre for it, sold out about ten days ago and got $65 per acre for his land. The only trouble with Jasper is that he don’t know where he can find another investment for his money that will be as good as the one he sold. Mason Kenton, who made one good trade after going there, and then bought another farm, paying about ,$57 for it, is reported to have recently refused an offer of SBS per acre for his farm. Other former Jasperites seem to have enjoyed, a substantial advance in the valuation of linds and to .have had good crops each season and fine prospects for the future. We will have another car of Michigan sand-grown potatoes in 2»4 bushel sacks, weight guaranteed, 70c a bushel in one or more sack lots.
