BELDEN — J.W. Creamer, Editor of the Belden Progress, died Sunday at his home in Belden.
For some time Mr. Creamer had been in poor health but had attended to his professional duties. The acquaintance of the editor of this newspaper with Mr. Creamer was very slight, but he seemed to be a most excellent gentleman and those that knew him well speak highly of him and greatly regret his untimely death.

HARTINGTON — On Monday, George Dewey came up from Bancroft and closed up a deal whereby he comes into possession of the R.C. Chase livery business and also the barn occupied by the same, the barn being purchased from F.M. Kimball. Mr. Dewey will return to Bancroft Saturday and move his family here. They will reside in the J.B. Greenwood house in the east part of town.

HARTINGTON — A cement gutter along the walk on the north side of the City Meat Market was completed yesterday. The work is a decided improvement and will doubtless furnish ample means for carrying off the water from heavy rains that formerly flowed over the walk at the place.
Sept. 16, 1919
HARTINGTON — A new high price record for Cedar County land was made a few days ago when Tom Barker sold his 20-acre farm east of Hartington for $500 per acre. Frank Riibe was the purchaser.
Mr. Barker bought the place two years ago for $315 an acre. He cleaned up the tidy sum of $3,700 on that deal, equaling approximately 60 percent, which is a tidy profit considering that he also had the use of the land for two years.
While located on the place, which is located opposite the Fairgrounds, Mr. Barker started raising pure bred hogs and has developed a very successful business.
While he has not yet secured another place, he hopes to get one that will enable him to continue raising pure breds.
The place is nicely improved and is well adapted to the pure bred hog business. Mr. Riibe has not yet announced what he will do with his place.
