Never before were there such efforts
made in behalf of the masses as are made
in these days of ours. All sorts of
schemes are gotten up having for their
objects the amelioration of the condition
Of the people. Those who are compare
lively without means receive all the
benefits Of capital by the consolidation Of
the means of several in cooperative So
cieties. Loan and building associations,
real estate and improvement companies
give to the people the benefits aocruing
from the massing of capital and the using
Of large credit. With all the facilities
thus extended in these days, there would
seem to be no excuse for any man or
head of a family who does not own his
home. The first step to the accomplish
ment of this end is the possession of lot.
This need not be in the exact spot that
you desire to live in, but as a beginning
will certainly lead to something more
valuable. No better opportunity can be
had for making such beginning as the
sale Of lots advertised by G. Ii. Dorset for
Thursday afternoon. ado.

The First Hundred.

The experience of all men of means
agree in the one particular that the first
hundred dollars, or the first house or lot,
was the hardest to get. That obtained,
others seem to follow with greater ease.
The possession of one seems to whet the
appetite for more. The pOssessor seems
to enjoy the dignity and appreciate the
responsibility Of being a free holder. A
new interest in affairs is awakened. Ends
and aims unknown before are formed for
the future, and unwittingly one becomes
in his own eyes and in the estimation Of
the community more important person
age than formerly. All of these benefits
can be enjoyed, and this distinction be
had, in fact is made easy to obtain. by
the facilities offered in these days to
wOuld-be-buyers of real estate. A large
number Of lots will be sold this afternoon,
in the western part of the city, by G. H.
DOrsett. Doubtless these will be sold at
moderate prices and upon easy terms.
What better chance can young man
have than this for commencing the i'm
pOrtant work of accommodating and be-
coming Of some Importance in the COM
munity in which he lives !-AdU.

and has found it a good one. Why, nine
times out Of ten, any frst-class tailor will
refer you to Simon Mitchell, if asked

The above heading of our advertisement
is quotation in one Of Shakespeare's
plays. But we take the liberty of using
it in reference to all this foul advertising.
For instance, one will claim he is selling
belOlC cost, and the other he or they are
the largest clothing house in the city, or,
in other words, as much as to say will
give you their goods and give you a
basket to carry them away in, and all
such blowing, which does not amount to
a row of pins. We can not afford to give
our goods, nor sell them at cost, for we
must live. But our past reputation for
fair and honest dealing guarantees our
future. 1t is true we advertise, and that
extensively, but do not say more than we
can justly come up to, We only adver-
tise to let the public knew we are still
alive and in the Clothing and Gents
Furnishing Goods business. b. II. Levy

The tendency of the cotton trade seems
to be to concentrate its warehouses in
the western portion of the city. Large
pieces of land with frontages suitable for
turning out cotton are becoming very
scarce, and when found are encountered
with improvements, which add too much
to their value to make them available.
There are some tracts, however, in the
vicinity OF the canal having good wide
streets on two sides, which could very
advantageously be used for Gotten ware
houses. Some of these tracts contain from
three-quarters to an acre, and have all
the advantages of position, size and
shape. There are twenty-seven lotto be
sold this afternoon which could well be
made avSilable for this purpose. See
