Real Egtate.

/ Tim. Riordan, our now and eia-
riont Street Commissioner, sold his
lot on Samantha street yesterday to
Hr. O'Btien Of Burlington, for Eve
thousand dollars, cash down.
Not long Ego he was allowed and
received from the N. N. r. RICO,
u 100 In damage for running over
part Of his yard, 60 that he has real
lied from one lot inside Of . year,
ak thousand seven hundred dollars,
besides retaining tho house, fence, &c.
We think this the best sale OF real
estate ever made in Ottumwa, con.
sidsfine that the lot is located eev-
eral squares from the center of
business. @
Il is understood that the purchase
is in the interest of the B. Il M. r.
r., which Company has been for
years quietly buying all the prop,
erty in that section OF the city, which
has been purchasable with the view,
as,s generally understood, Of build
ing thereon 4 hotel and other build
ings, for the accommodation of their
large and rapidly increasing BUSH
ness.
Tim. Riordan paid $500 for this
lot, about ten years ago, and has
lived on it since. Six thousand
three hundred dollars profit on one
lot in ten years will do pretty well,
and shows the app eciation which
shrewd men and wealthy corpora.
tion has for Ottumwa real estate.
Tim. has our hearty congratula.

BOGUS ADVERTISING AGENTS.

DphbC NV EhIIDlNp AhGNIS
Twin brother to this folly is that of ac-
cepting advertisements from those wild
cats who invest the cities, claiming to be
advertising agents, but sailing under
d fferent names and never paying. If
we cannot get sufficient advertising
without taking it from those whom we
do not knew, and therefore ought to
know will never pay, we had better fill
up our papers with blank space-the
same as the darkey would make can
non-"take a hole and run iron around
it," La New York there are two or three
at the most four-well known and per-
fectly responsible firms, through whom
all our advertising from that quarter
ought to come. If any others would es-
tablish business let them either pay
in advance or give guarantees, the same
as men do in other branches of business.
The Publisher who suffers himself to be
victimized not only loses in that partic-
ular case, but advertises his gullibiiity
to the world, and soon finds himselfover-
whelmed with a patronage which will
neither pay the butcher nor the banker,
nor save his reputation from the FOOLS
undertaken. He will soon find that if
he sells himselfthu cheaply to those who
pay will take him at his estimate and fix
;heir own prices on what they send.
And thus, between the upper and the
neither mill-stones, a product will be
ground out, which, far from making
bread for his children, will only make
paste to seal his doom.
The newspaper has only two possible
sources Of ineome-subscriptio and
space, while its expenses are many. If
1t fails to utilize its resources to the ut
most, it viii. either go under itself or
leave its proprietor under at the end
1t is like a ship, which bears precious
cargoes if rightly sailed, but which be-
comes heavy, unmanageable and almost
