value of real estate. we notice that
Reeves mill stand near GAINESVILLE. which
was appraised al $4,000. sold al 81 1000.
The Courier says: Real estate in this
vicinity. under the influence of some po.
tent cause is destined to go up in value.
This tendency may be attributed to caus
les to suit the fancy--but we are inclined
TO the belief that the prospect of the
speedy completion Of the Central Ohio
Railroad has some bearing on this
point.
