D. H. YEOMAN BUYS SPITLER-DAVISSON FARM

330 Ace Farm Sold At Auction At What Is Considered a Low Price. ■B ■ The 330 acre farm, four miles north of town, advertised to be sold, at public auction by Cr'G. Spitler and Harvey Davisson, was sold to D. H. Yeoman Thursday for $105.25 per acre. There were two other bidders, Frank Hoover and E. L. Hollingsworth. The land was considered worth at least $l4O per acre and will probably bring that price or better if put on the market at some future time. It is a part of the former W. R. Nowels farm and originally consisted of a little over 500 acres. Recently 80 acres off the rear end was sold to Amos Davisson for $125 per acre, and a little over 100 acres of which land was sold to Dr. F. A. Turfler for $l5O per acre. These two pieces have no improvements and were considered not to be worth near as much as the land sold Thursday, which is tiled and has buildipgs, and other improvements thereon. Spitler and Davisson bought the farm of Elbert Harris.
