STAR reporters was detailed to look up a
few points in relation to the matter. LOca-
ted within radius OF ten miles from
Fourth street, Cincinnati can boast of as
lovely suburbs as can be found any where
in the West. Twenty or thirty minutes
ride either by horse or steam cars will take
one away from the noise, confusion, dust
and smoke of the city to where you will
find all around you green fields lovely gar
dens, the magnificent residences of the
wealthy, and the neat and tasteful cottages
of those whom fortune has not SO rich v
favored.
Further out from the city, say ten miles
or thereabouts on the lines of any of our
principal railroads are delightful locations
where land is comparatively cheap. Take
as an illustration the new and beautiful
subdivision known as
@ wooDLAwN,
situated on the c., II. Il D. Railroad about
half hours ride from the city. This

land is admirably situated, lying high and

and Glendale and less than q mile from
either; its society, church and school
accommodate ms are all that could be de-
sired. Its facilities for getting to and from
the city are ample. Sixteen passenger

grocers, ice.wagons, ETC., take orders and
deliver goods at the door. Water of the
purest kind is obtained in unlimited guam
titles simply by boring from 90 to rs

been laid out with good deal of taste, the
streets and avenues graded, shade trees and
shrubbery set out and turee hundred or
more of the original forest trees preserved,
and there ere on the grounds about 900
choice grated fruit trees. 81. .p.
| Taking its natural advantages into con-
sideration, the improvements that have
already been made as prestige
for the future, Woodlawn prom.
ises to be one of the handsomest
villages upon the road, and one of the most
desirable places for city people seeking
suburban or country homes. 1t was first
laid out about three years since, by the
owners OF the tract Messrs. T. T.
and g. S. Brown, two well-knowr
merchants, who have each erected very
handsome residences upon the property il
which they reside. ......, .,. ....
