Bought Farms in Jennings Co.

Mala Garrison of Jordan tp., who was down in Jennings county prospecting last week, bought a 200 acre farm there, paying $4,000 for same. Chas. Capes of southwest of Remington, has also bought a farm of 210 acres in Jennings this week, consideration $6,500. Quite a number of other Jasper couuty farmers who are seeking cheaper lands have signified their intention of locating in Jennings county. There are now probably between forty and fifty families from Jasper and Newton counties who have located there during the past three or four years, and so far as we have learned each and every one is well pleased with their change.
