REAL ESTATE IN IoWA.-There is
nothing surer than that real estate in Iowa has
reached its minint9m value and that at the
present time 1t has an rd tendency-and
from this date landed property of all kinds in
the State will continue to exhibit healthy in
crease In p ices. Tae revulson in monetary
affairs is now a matter of the past; the panic
is only q mater Of history-it has spent it's
force, and the country lie now in a condition to
recuperate rapidly.
With this view Of the case, and we most sin

chance in this State 10 purchase the choicest
farming lands advautag eously, as will be the
case this Fall. The lands, as before remarked,
have reached the lowest price, and have taken
proper time for those who have desire to
make permanent investments, to do SO The
abundant crop which has been the result Of
this years labor will have the direct tendency
to raise the price of farming lands. In short,
there is every sign to Indicate and every reas-
on to bell We. that these lands which are now
being sold in all sections Of Iowa as "cheap as
dirt" will soon double and triple n value In
that case the rush Westward, and the desire TO
obtain Iowa lands will be overwhelming; but
as we have the interest Of the farmer at heart,
we desire to see that class Of con mun,ty taking
| the advantage Of the times and purchasing
| until it shall have become locked up in the
| snug embrace Of sckeming speculators and
| land sharks. from whom it cannot be obtained
at any reasonably low figures. Iowa has had
ell the experience in the way of crazy land
speculation that she wants for the present cen
tury, and it is the hard fsted, iron nerved
farmer whom We invite to our State and for
thousands and tens Of thousands of whom there
are plenty Of cheap lands. and notle prospect

| In this county-the county of Scott, than

| State for farming and stock growing purposes
| there are thousands Of acres of land that can
at this time be purchased at such prices a. will
enable the purchaser, if he be an active and
energetic farmer, to ray for the same with the
products Of the soil in three years at the least
calculation. These lands, or . large portion o
them, can be purchased at less than one-third
the price at which they have been held and
sold, and the farmer who purchases them will
lind them to be second in productiveness te
none in the world-near by q market, and il
fact possessing all the advantages that q reaa
sonable purchaser could desire.
1t 10 such lands as these-such land as here
abounds, that the attention OF the Eastern
farmers who would fain move Westward
ahoud be directed to. 1t should be made az
object to induce immigration to this vicinity
and the entire State as we'll. Every farmer
that settles here and tills the soil in our midst

another muscle to our system.
Davenport has been growing more rapidly
than has tie country at large. and hence th'
great necessity of putting forth exertions t
to attract the emigrant hitherwsrd. Weca,
