The farm paid well, also.

Then mother died and the place did not seem quite the same.

A railroad was built through the town and the land I owned there rose enormously in value.

I had a splendid location for a modern store but I could not seem to make up my mind to change.
So I sold out everything--store, land, the home farm and all, and received a good figure--a _very_ good figure.

I was very fortunate in owning practically the whole townsite--the new townsite, that is.
