Advanced $15 Per Acre in One Year.

The Wolcott Enterprise has the following item illustrating the steady advance in real estate values in this part of Indiana: W. H. Gerberich has refused an offer of $65 per acre for his fine farm north-east from town. That would of been a clear gain of $1,500 in a year, but Mr. Gerberich wisely considered that the farm suited him and he is contented, therefore will not sell his home. The above is but the experience of all the recent purchasers in Jasper and adjoining counties, and the prospect is for a steady advance until the top mark of other localities, similarly located as to favorable markets is reached. No better lands can be found in any state than those of this locality. The present corn crop is sufficient evidence of the merits of the soil.

That's Jumper County o Stde Partner. Real estate mep have over-run this vicinity again during the past week with a new set of men, and so me transactions have 1 occured. Whitfe county soil is as much in demand as ever, prices ranging from S4O to $65 and S7O per acre.—Wolcott Enterprise.
