This Rattle is not intended as a trap or mo-
ney-making scheme. The property is such as
represented, and the most desirable in our flour
ishing Mountain town. The reason for putting
this property up in this manner, is for its imme-
diate disposal Mr.. Edwards being desrous of
changing his residence, and converting his pro-
perty into cash. Tie valuation of the property
is less than its actual cash cost. Good bona fide
deeds will be made soon as the drawing is had
