NOWELS HOTEL TRADED OFF.

C. D, Nowels has just closed a deal of his hotel property here for a fine farm of 300 acres in Adams county, 111,, lying 14 miles north of Quincy. Mr. Nowels gets the landlord’s share of the corn crop this year, and as there is 170 acres of fine corn on the place this will be quite an item. He has also sold the hotel fixtures to the new owner for SSOO cash. The farm has a large house, new barn and other improvments, and land in that locality is selling at SIOO per acre, the price Mr. Nowels values his land at. It looks as if he had made an excellent deal, and it is likely the other man thinks he has also. The new owner of the hotel block is Robert A. Minks, of Dewey, 111., and he will continue to lease it until be disposes of same.
