Mr. and Mrs. John Jones Bought Farm Near Wheatfield.

Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, of Newton township, have closed a deal for the 80-acre farm of John A. Williams, just south of Wheatfleld. The price is understood to have been S6O per acre. The sale was made by E. J. Duvall, of Rensselaer. It is the intention of the purchasers to materially improve the farm by the erection qf a silo and other building improvements. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are among our best farmers and as tenants they have made and saved the money to buy this farm. Mrs. Jones has sold butter and eggs in Rensdelaer and during the year 1913 from 11 cows and 200 hens she earned $1,150. This is a record that has probably not been excelled in the county and with this kind of thrift it is only s a question of time until Mr. and Mrs. Jones will be looking about for a larger farm than the one they have just purchased.
