Trustee Blue Is Selling Some of the Hartsell Land.

Philip Blue, administrator of the estate of the late Dr. W. W. Hartsell, and who is also the trustee for the sale of the real estate, has sold some of the property. Frank King, the blacksmith, bought 80 acres adjoining the 37 acres he already owned. His purchase includes the barn and windmill on thd- north side of the road. He paid $45 an acre for the land, which was the appraised valuation. Chas. Schleman bought 40 acres adjoining his farm, being the land south of the road and to the northwest corner of. the Hartsell land. He paid $55, also the appraised price. There is still about 236 acres in this farm, and it can probably be bought at a reasonable price. Most Of the city lot property remains unsold, thg only sale being that of the lot north of Mrs. Lucy Clark’s residence on Weston street, which Mrs. Clark purchased. The fine lot on the corner of Weston and Cornelia streets on which the big barn in which Dr. Hartsell kept bis horses is located, was appraised at $1,700 and is still unsold.
