Newton county has a few big farms. ■ One farm contains 17,000 acres and the next largest 14;000, and the third 10,000. A farm of 160 acres is only a truck patch when compared with these large ones. These large tractsof land are a detriment to the county so far as increase in population, wealth and improvements are concerned. f The Rensselaer papers each contained a write-up this week regarding that city’s two oldest residents. James T. Randle and Uncle David Nowels, aged respectively 77 and 88 years. Mt. Ayr has a resident who is older than either ofthe above and who is still quite spry.. Every day he is on the street and walks around considerable. We speak of the aged father of Dr. Merry, who, if he lives until next April-raad it is quite likely that he will —will be ninety years 010. It is no uncommon sight to see Mr. Merry out early every morning, either tottering along the street or going to the well after a pail of water. His main occupation until a short time ago was sawing wood and he is occasionally seen at this now,-but not frequently. Mr. Merry has been an aged man as long as the writer can remember and if be is nbt taken sick he may live to be a hunderd years old.—Mt Ayr Pilot - - HOUSEHOLD GOODS FOR SALE.
