treat for families and invads from the heat and

Each successive sale of real estate shows a strk-
ing advance upon previous sales, and admonishes
purchasers to buy at once.
From facts within my personal knowledge, am
satisfied that 20 per cenum on an estimate invest
ment Of $4,000 can be realized by sagacious
owner or company annually from this property in
its present situation.

prudent business men is, that this property has
already greatly increased in value and that its
prospective value, looking to--as certain ereRt--

comprising as they do all the elements of an i'm
portant village is incidentally great. Nothing
could tempt me 10 forego the certain great pecun-
airy advantage, that will assuredly accrue, in few
years, 10 an enterprising owner Of this property,
but The earnest desire on my part 10 diminish the
cares Of business and 10 devote my energies in
their accustomed and more appropriate sphere.
