Some Lund Sells Very Low In Jasper County Also.

D. W. Waymire bought 200 acres cf land last week at a bargain. The land had belonged to Adam Griffin, who died recently and his nephew, Harry H. Griffin, of Sheridan, Ind., was the .executor of his will. The_land was advertised by him after being appraised and there were no bidders; the land was again advertised and nc bidders, and finally the land was reappraised and again advertised. The sale took place last Thursday and the land was bought for $9.55 an acre. Ou the morning of the sale B. J. Moore went up to look at the land, expecting to get back in time to make a bid on it, but the automobile in which he was traveling broke down apd when he arrived at the court house the sale had been made to Dan Waymire. Most of the land is in timber but there is about 40 acres of prairie, part of which is in cultivation and with some fixing up the land should bring S3O or more an acre. Mr. Moore offered Mr. Waymire a substantial advance for the farm Hut Dan was not in a selling mood.
