J. J. LAWLER SELLS FORMER BERRY FARM.

A. S. Laßue reports the sale of the former Berry farm of 240 acres at Pleasant Ridge, owned by J. J. Lawler, to L. G. Frankoviak of Carpenter township for a little over $27,000. Mr. Lawler took in oh the deal the purchaser’s 80 acre farm in Carpenter at $9,000. Owing to the difficulty in securing labor and the trouble of looking after the some 20,000 acres of land Mr. Lawler now owns in Jasper, Newton and Lake counties, he has decided to dispose of considerable of his holdings, it is reported, in tracts to suit purchasers. i
