BUYS FARM IN MISSOURI.

Judson and George Maines returned Monday from a business trip to Missouri The latter bought a 120 acre farm two miles from Hume, Bates county, at $64.25 per acre, and expects to move upon same in another year. He has rented it this year to the man he bought of. Jud did not buy, but was favorably impressed with the country and expects to have another look at it. The farmers were plowing in their fields there and the beys say it is usually about three weeks earlier there than here. They have a brother-in-law some 30 miles from Hume who has been there for 22 years, and thinks the country is all right. The soil is good, runs even, and about th* same class of crops are grown ai here.
