Unimproved Farm Near Kentland Brings $175.00 an Acre.

Kentland Enterprise. The high price for fanning lands in Newton county was set in a deal closed yesterday, wherein the 120 acre farm of G. W. McCray, lying two miles north of Kentland, passed to the ownership of Herman Messman. The price paid was >175.00 an acre, and there is not a well or stick of improvements on the place. This is another step towards two. hundred dollar land, which is sure to come so long as Illinois land, no better in quality than our own, remains at its present high figure.
