FIFTEEN DOLLARS FOR A HOME
STEADILY reference to our advcrtis.
ing columns. it will be seen that there
is now a chance offered by which any
person, although ofvery limited means,
can secure a home for himself and fam
lily at amere nominal price, and within
a very short distance of this city. BY
the laws Of this State, such home is
forever exempt from the rapacity Of
ruthless creditors, and the poor man
can there find an asylum from which
nothing but the hand of death can dis
possess him. As the division of the
lots soon takes place. we would advise
our readers to make early application
at the Office of Charles Wood, POS
