. LARGE SALE OF REAL EsrATE-THE
BLACKBOARD LoTs.-The lots known as the
Blackford property, situated in the upper
part of the city, were sold on Saturday at
public auction, by Thomas E. Garvin,
Real Estate Agent They were among the
most desirable residence lots in the city,
and have been much sought after, but
have heretofore been kept out of the MARI
ket, much to the detriment of that portion
of the city. The safe was largely at
tended by the most prominent men of the
city. and attracted much interest on the
part of property holders. The result of the
sale exeeededz the ex pectations-of.event the
most sanguipe, of our citizens. Itwascon-
Z tenn plated THAT the present stringency of
money and the apparent fear pervading
the country that the early future must re-
suit in commercial embarrassment, would
Have h depressing effect upon THE sale.
The figures below are the best evidence
that we can have of the confidence of our
business men in the prosperity of Evans
willie. 1t does rot look much as if ours was
a doomed city" We understand that it
is designed to.erect a number OF fine, resi-
dences on some of-the lots the coming sea-
son.
We are gglad to- note rthe purchase of
PROPERTY by two gentlemen from neigh
boring towns, who, we are informed, con-
template a removal TO this city. They win
make valuable additions to our business
