Cooney Kellner Buys Out Jud Maines—Trades Farm.

Cooney Kellner, the former ice man, has concluded a trade with Jud Maines, by which he becomes the owner of Mr. Maines’ interest in the Maines & Hamilton feed and implement business. L. A. Harmon effected the deal, which took place Thursday, but Mr. Kellner will not become identified with the new business until Sept. Ist, thus giving both Mr. Maines and himself an opportunity to'adjust their businesses. Louis H. Hamilton will continue in the business, holding a half interest with Mr. Kellner and the firm name will be Hamilton & Kellner. Mr. Maines takes the farm of 100 acres which Mr. Kellner recently purchased of Mrs. Eva Greenlee, paying $125 per acre for it. Mr. Maines expects to do some prospecting in Missouri and Kansas, with a view of disposing of his farm interests in Jasper county and locating there. He is one of the city’s most excellent citizens and Rensselaer people will regret that he contemplates lehtlng Jasper county.
