  Michael Schuller of Chanhassen has sold his valuable farm to his nephew Mike Jacques, who has
resided upon and cultivated the same for the past two years. This is a valuable farm with good
buildings and will make a cozy home and we hope Mike will live long to enjoy the same.
  Mr. S., is an old gentleman and will pass the balance of his days in quiet ease. This fall he will go
to Washington, to pass the winter with his two sons, who have good farms in that far off state. he
has earned a good rest and we hope he will enjoy his well earned competency.
