ANYONE who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety o. government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season and the great tide of immiA
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
rigourous cold winter, added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money he has invested in it.
If you are looking for a safe place To
invest money, where it will pay you Q
large and sure profit, or if you are farm
er and want farm of your own, call OF

for about so worth of work on the
crossing on the south side of Seventeenth

there was not much travel on that street.
And AS for the street commissioner, he
thought the crossing was all right with a

is pot good enough for me to spend
500 on the walk. and especially as every
body knows, there has been oney cX>
pended where it was not near as much
needed as the said crossing. Take for
instance the crossing on Third avenue
and Eighth street and other places which
could be mentioned. That was no more
needed than ten feet of tile at rlckety
crossing that never was any good. |
have spent over $500 in filling and grad
ing my lot for the benefit and looks of the
city as well as myself. and would have
graded the sidewalk with cinders long

will do so as soon as possible. and hope
that every thing will lbe o. k. Now
