Some Rapid Increases in Jasper County Land Prices.

A land sale took place this week that is of interest for two reasons. One was the amount involved, and the other was the greatly increased price over the figure stated as the Selling price about a year ago. The land consists of 519 acres and is situated near Zadoc. George F. Meyers is to have bought it for S2B per acre of B. J. Gifford. He sold it to Frank P. Smith and others, of Piatt county, 111., and was macle their agent to sell it to some one else. Mr. Meyers found a buyer in the person of John MHart, of Bunker Hill, and the farm sold for $46,710, which is S9O per acre.
