Sold Farm in White County at Good Profit.

Ed Ranton, formerly of this county, who sold his farm southeast of this city two years ago and purchased almost 300 acres of land near Smithson, White county, last spring, has now sold his farm there and is again looking for land in this county. Mr. Ranton paid $l2O per acre for the land- he bought in White county and has owned it but a few months and sold it a few days ago for $145 per a-cre, thus realizing $25 per acre, or about $7,500. All of us would be glad to have Ed back in Jasper county, for he is one of the best men that ever lived hefb. i-——«.•
