Daily Davenport Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1864-1874, 1868-02-22

Coon ADvicE.-Mr. Russell, the famous
landed proprietor in this city. now dscsss-
ed. Was man Of superior judgment as We
all can see. Some fifteen or sixteen years
ago, while here on visit, he bought Of DR..
BArrows bis residence, corner of Brady and
Third street, now known a. the 'Judd
House." for residence for bis son, paying
therefor some $4,000, If ws remember
| Alright. Whom he paid over the money to
The Doctor, he also threw in piece Of ad-
vice. At that time that part Of our city
lying east Of Perry street, Was almost en-
tirsly unimproved by buildings, and Mr..
LeClairs Was selling of lots at the rate Of
two or three hundred dollars per acre, Mr..
Russell advised The Doctor to take his &c..
600 and invest it forthwith in those lots.
The Doctor didn't do it; but that is moth.
ing against tbs advice. Had he done 20,
the money would have doubled many
time on his hands.
We relate this old "reminiscences for the
benefit of our readers who have = little
money to invest At low estimate. unim-
proved property lying in and about the city
will increase - much in value in the next
fifteen years - unimprosed property Of the
same grade did in the past fifteen years,
hence no one who has spare funds need
hesitate about chances for profitable invest
ments. Between Farnam street and East
Davenport there 10 no end Of chances 10
make clear twenty-five per cent. per an
mum. So, too, in The west part Of town,
and North Davenport. II you can't see il
now, some dAy you will to your sorrow.
WAsuINGroN's BIRrHDAY.-To-day is the
natal day Of the immortal Washington, and
were it not that here and there through our
city the stars and stripes Of our national
emblem have been thrown to the brsszs, the
recurrence Of this great anniversary day Of
this nation would hardly be noticed. Az .
people We seem 10 forget our duty-wo
ought not to let tho occasion pass without
paying mole Of homage to the memory Of
the nations great and true guardian. We
should emulate his virtues, practice his
beautiful prscspts, and teach our children to
revere his name, that, amid all the bitter
corruptions Of party aud the shifting politi-
cal scenes that they are destined to take
part in, they may ever return to their coun-
,ry's defence with purpose ~ true, stead
