But il the study of Latin and Greek

that this assertion refutes itself; for #

writer must go behind this to the Latin

that they have made no impress on the

were quite as comfortable there Jas the

Brains in Business

Atthe present season of the year
the farmer and mechanic are busy as
bees, yet it is not always the busiest
who accomplish the most IN a given
time. Brains count as well as muscle.
and sometimes a little forethought
will accomplish more than days hard
labor. For instance a first class sup
ply store will enable the pure :haser to
do his trading and be horne again
with little delay. Halliday Bros, the
enterprising grocery men understand
this and hence when we say you can
get anything and everything in the
grocery line we are but stating a tact
In flour they are very extensive deal
ers buying By the car load and giving

Real Estate Sales.

Nothing better indicates the prosper
ity of 4 people and their condition IL
nancially, than the prices of real estate
and its activity on the market. Real
estate i'll Adalr county has been grad
ually advancing III this county. and
town property is rapidly recovering
from its long depression.
The sale of Llewellyn Park lots,
which we have been advertising for
some time, came off on Monday as an
nounced. There was a good attendance
and all the lots offered were sold at
fair figures.
John Wiles purchased pair OF lots
at 1924.
Judge Jacob Sands, two at 1854.
Joseph Piersee. bought one lot for
s120.
l.. A. Willard took three at 1856.
The bidding was lively through out.
The balance of the lots were not offered,
but will now be sold at private sale by
Mr.. Sllngerland- the proprietor. There
is undoubtedly a better demand for real
estate than there has been before in the
last ten years. 1t is doubtless Just as
safe and much more paying invest
ment than government bonds at four
Der cent.
