President Continental Credit Trust Visits Newland.

A. R Tones, president of the Continental Credit —Trust of Chicago, came <•< and went out to Newland today. Mr. Janes says that Mr. Oliver 'has sufficiently recovered from his recent illness to be able to go out walking and will possibly be able to come to Rensselaer by the first of June. j . Mr. Jones says he has received some complaints from unsecured creditors of Mr. Oliver claiming that if they had brought suit against Mr. Oliver last fall they would have been paid. He says that that would have been impossible for on account of the crop failures Mir. Oliver could not have paid these obligations. He says that they have now put the matter in such shape that the land is now so that a good deed can be executed, the titles have been cleared up and passed upon by tire Chicago Title Company and there is now standing in the name of Mr. Oliver same 2330 acres, against which the Greenbaum’s have a mortgage of $175,000. Besides the above land there are 160 acres on which Mr. Hollingsworth has a mortgage. Mr. Jones is anxious to have every acre of this land farmed this-year and is sure that every obligation of Mr. Oliver can be met and that he can have besides a nice snug fortune. The Continental Credit Trust is providing the money with which to carry on the cultivation of this land. Mr. Jones impresses one as being a man of splendid ability and from our investigation we believe he will be able to pay every dollar Mr. Oliver owes and as indicated above still leave him a considerable estate. The Continental Credit Trust is rated high and all who have done business with them speak very highly of thdir manner of conducting affairs entrusted to them.
