January 9, 1902.--W.F.Read and J. C.Kesterson of Sidney, Iowa, closed a deal last week with Winfield & Jessup for the Scheck ranch of 960 acres south of Latham. This is considered one of the greatest bargains in land that has been secured in this locality this season. Messrs. Read and Kesterson will build new dwellings and barns and make other improvements. When all the improvements they are contemplating are complete these gentlemen will own one of the model ranches of southern Kansas. They will move out about March 1st. In behalf of the people of Lathan and the surrounding county, the Mirror offers hearty welcome.--Latham, Kansas "MIRROR".
