SOME REAL ESTATE DEALS.

Notwithstanding the cold weather and the fact thaf the snow has covered the ground all winter, Real Estate Agent Geo. F. Meyers has been doing a little business along, and the other day closed up the sale of his 300 acres of land near Kniman, known as the Leopold land, to W. Harvey Martin of Effingham county, 111. Mr. Martin has a large family and will move on the farm this spring. He will build a fine new two-story house the main part, 26x26 feet build a new barn and erect windmills, etc. Mr. Martin is one of those progressive farmers that we like to see come to our county. Another deal which Mr. Myers has Just dosed up was the trading of T. F. Brusnahan’s lid acre farm at Parr for a fine 200 acre farm near Ft. Scott, Kansas. The farm has a 15 acre orchard, a fine ten room house, is all finely fenced, deep, black soil, and is well improved in every way. The trade was an “even Stephen,” and Mr. Brusnahan thinks he made an excellent trade,'which he no doubt has. Mr. Brusnahan has the Harris farm on which he now lives, rented for this season but expects to move on his Kansas farm next year.
