John Makeever to Divide His Estate.

Gncle John Makeever has- concluded he has too many business cares on his hands for a man in his 88th yemr, even tho his mind be as bright and clear as ever, and his physical strength marvellously well preserved for a man of that age; Therefore be has conclude*! to divide up a considerable portion of his estate, along with the worry of caring for them, with his two daugh'erq and only children, Mrs. Almira Stockton and Mrs. J. W. Williams. Between them he will divide 2,500 acres of land, worth about $160,000. Mr. Makeveer will still retain the ownership and management of enough land to make four or five big farms, and among the best of his land, too, as well as all his town property, which last in itself is quite a large estate.
