Two Farms Sold In Walker.

Still another Illinois man has* just gone home with a quarter section of Jasper county land in his inside vest pocket, next a happy heart. It is James Boyle, of Ogle county, way in the northwest comer of the state. He has bought two 80 acre improved farms in Walker Tp., a half mile north of Kniman. One was bought of Wm, Shirer, being the old John Wolf place, the other of Wm. Schwass. The price was $2,500 cash for each farm. Mr. Shirer bought his place in the fall of 1899, for SI,BOO. Mr. Sohwass has owned his about the same length of time. Mr. Shirer still has 160 acres in the northeast part of Walker and will occupy that. Mr. Schwass will follow his trade of carpenter. These deals were negotiated by Geo. F. Meyers, Kniman’s reliable real-estate dealer.
