VALUABLE PRoPERrY.-We ask the attention
of those DESTROYS of purchasing valuable i'm
proved real estate in Shreveport, to the sale of
property belonging to the succession of William
Paxton, deceased. 1t embraces some of the
best situated property in town, including the
Commercial hotel, two fine brick stores on Tex
as street, a number of dwellings, ETC., and as
the terms are exceedingly liberal, affords arare
opportunity to those DESTROYS of making good
investments.
