The city's Special Need.

We learn that recently quite .
number Of persons, mechanics and
others, have failed 10 locate here
solely-bccauso they could not find O
single vacant roof in tho city fol-
shelter. Why is this? Lots can be
purchased here suitable for binding
purposes, at from $50 to 5000 accor.
ding to sizo and location. Lumber
and all kinds of building material
can be had at our planning mills, and
from others very chcaply. A good
cottage with three rooms will readily
commandsl2.50 per month. The lot
will cost say 5000, the construction Of
building say not exceeding $500; ag-
gregate 500; rented at $3.50 per
month is $3.50 per annum. Al
lowing 40 dollars for repairs and in
surance, you will have the snug lit
tie sum OF Is per cent. on the money
invested. Since our tobacco and
wheat markets have grown SO rapid
ly, manufactures are silently taking
possession of our city,and II is a source
of regret that our capitalists will not
furnish enough houses to shelter the
busy ariizan and his family.
