BOYD PORTER TAKES PLUNGES COMES OUT A FARMER.

Boyd Pouter, employed by the flrm of Rowles & Parker, has blossotned out as a farmer. He’ll not be what you call a real farmer, however, just one of those Retired farmers who sit tight and wait for the hired man to gather in the harvest. Mr. Porter’s plunge occurred on Tuesday, when he purchased of David R. Melieh, of Hartford City, an eighty acre farm lying nine miles east of this city. The farm is known as the old Percival farm and was sold to Mr. Porter for $10,400, or $l3O per acre.
