The price of land down in Green Hollow seems to be advancing
rapidly since A.W. Turner started his goat farm. Until recently
land in that section could bought almost for a song and the owner
was willing to sing the song in some instances, but Mr. Turner
has bought aout a wonderful change. He says Joe Pierce sold 50
acres at $35 per acre, Loren Kerns sold his 70 acre farm. Frank
Shepard bought Ed Baldwin's 240 acre farm for $45 per acre and Ed
turned around and paid $80 per acre for a farm joining Thurman
and has since
refused $20 per acre for it, John King sold 16 acres to John
Pierce and has refused $40 per acre for 240 acres about one-third
of which lies in the hills.
