ED OLIVER HAD A BIG CROWN SUNDAY

Brought Thirty-Five People to Newland Sunday and Sold Several Tracts of Land. Ed Oliver continues to bring lots of buyers from Chicago to the trucking lands of Jasper county and Sunday had thirty-three men here, It is reported that he Again sold fourteen tracts of land from the Springer ranch, near Kniman. Some of those who made the trip had previously bought. It Is expected there will be many new truck farmers in the Newland and Knimab regions this spring. One of the men who came down Sunday is considering the establishment of a canning factory at Newland. This would be a great thing and would offer an opportunitq for more diversified fanning than is possible at this time. Corn, peas, tomatoes and beans could be profitably raised.
