Real Estate Transfers.

During the past week there has been quite a bit of activity in the local real estate market. Several good farms have changed hands, and there seems to be an increasing demand for Nobles county soil. Prices are ranging upward and good farms will shortly command first-class prices. In the city, residence properties have changed ownership.

I.F. Kelley purchased the Hawley residence on Tenth street ; Ed Jones has bought the Helmick property and Frank Durfey secured the Ramage residence now occupied by A.R. Albertus.
