Has Some Valuable Walnut Timber Reserved in Illinois.

Included In the estate of B. J. Gifford was forty acres of walnut timber over in Illinois. Mr. Gifford sold the land nineteen years ago but reserved the timber for twenty years. As there is now less than a year of the time left the timber must he sold or it will revert to the owner of the land. The executor, George H. Gifford, and Thos. Callahan were on the ground last week to look it over and to try to make a sale, but missed connections with the prospective buyer and another trip will be arranged. Walnut timber in the tree is now worth about s6d per thousand and the estate will derive quite a little jmoney from the timber.
