A local paper speaking OF city Improvements in
Murfreesboro says
Never before perhaps, in the history OF Ayurrees
boro has there been much building forwaru as at
the present time. A new impetus seems to have
seZaa upon many OF our citizens to plan ana psrect
houses. On the site OF the late fire buildings SHe
being erected which win compare favoraby with tfA
from end OF the city to the otner builders aud
artisans are engaged in making improvements that
Will add greatly to its wealth and beauty. In future
number we Will speak OF these in detail.
A correspondent writing from Chicago says:-
a vefy large amount Of building Is going ON. not
wtistandlng the cry OF dull times and the number
parts OF the city IL remarkable. Architects estimate
that s1O,oo0,0o0 have been spent THIS year In new
region lately occupied by residences on wabash
avenue south to Madison street. Fine houses of
stone and brick have been torn down. and Ave story
marble front b'0cks are rising In their places A
new block OF buildings on Wabash avenue aud WASH
lngton street stands on land which, less than
score OF years ago. was owned by a New York gen.
tlenan, who became disguised with the property
and wrote TO friend here to sell it for few hundred
dollars. The friend could sell It readily, and the
owner then bes0lght him to take 1t at his own 1gures
ana on MS own time. 1t was finally disposed OF In
some way. To-day 1t is worth $1,000 or $4,000
foot.
The Florida Land Register says
The advance OF real estate in Jacksonville during
the last three years has been remarkable Especially
for the last year have the prices increased beyond
the anticipation of the most visionary. TIE great
inquiry for lots by fnvalids and others seeking
home for the winter where The climate would be less
severe and trying has tended to bring up the prices
Of lots generally; but In The more desirable places,
ana particularly in the high grounds in the neigh
the last year, tile appreciation IN value has been the
most decided and considerable. Nearly all The lots In
that vicinity have changed hands, ana each holder
has realized handsomely on his operations One lot
IN block SO was bought in August last for $500 by
party who sold again In December for $3.50. In Feb.
ruary the Florida Land Agency sold 1t again at
$1,000. This instance Is pretty fair example Of
what has been transpiring in that whole neighbor-
hood Another lot farther east and on lower ground
sold in March, 1867 for S1l0 again In April 1858, for
$3.50, and Is now valued at $C00 Four lots lying in
q square form between Adams and Monroe

$4,000 which but two years since were valued at
little over sSooo q o. In tho eastern portions Of the
the west end and hold their lots at nearly the same
prices; yet fewer sales have been made aud less in
that "Westward no the course or empire takes its
onward way" The rapid rise Of Riverside and
Gates that decided and general interest Is awak-
ened in our city, all OF which promises brilliant
future for Jacksonville.
