Rents.
People are coming into Waterville so fast
that there are score of applications for
every tenement. There are a number of ell
egant residences for sale in the village, at
prices ranging from 81 900 to 1900. l.. l..
Carver. Esq, the capable and accommodating
town clerk, does quite business in real es-
tate, and We advise those who wish to get
rare bargains in nice property to call upon
him. Waterville needs hundred neat dwell
ling houses for her work people Here is a
chance for capitalist to make more money
than he can by keeping his funds locked up
in Government bonds. G. A. Phillips, John
Ware and Charles &. Matthews have taken
step in this direction. They have purchas-
ed the ''Stackpole Homestead near the Lock
wood cotton MILL and are going to cut it up
into house lots and build desirable residences
thereon. The French Canadians mostly live
on the plains, and many of them own their
dwellings. Every manufacturing town needs
large number of small wooden houses for
people of moderate means, who do not wish
to he crowed together in tenements.
A MAGNIFICENT Town.
Is there a lovelier spot in Maine than
Waterville The town is very level It's
picturesquely and BEAUTIFULLY situated on the
right bank of the Kennebec. Its broad
avenues are bordered by elegant mansions,
and shaded by fine old trees. The college
grounds are ample. Society is excellent.
Colby University gives tone and coloring
! of culture to the whole community. The
educational advantages of Waterville are
unsurpassed. Spires of churches of all
denominations point like silent fingers to
!
We gee no reason why Waterville should not
double in population in ten years. Already
enterprsing, shrewd professional and business
men are seeking home in the growing town.
| 1t is said that Senator Bisbee of Buckfed,
one of the leading advocates in Oxford county,
contemplates removing to Waterville and
identifying himself with the place. Capitalists
who are seeking opportunities for investment;
young men who are in search of good business
openings, and skilled mechanics would do
well to inspect the chances there before taking
| their money and muscle out.of the State 1t
