railroad, by water route, or bv ~
hour and a half drive over an 4yoaI ~
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isolo
ted spots that is only laid ont "p
paper, but a thriving prosperoUa
town that recommends itself ~
capitalist and laborer, to fatbaS
ami wives who are vigilant ovs,
their own interests and the weIfara
of their children, to those who ara
seeking homes and those who bava
capital to invest for speculation
The land can be obtained at ra
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of eyery
purchaser. At the present low
figures poor man can make rpcn.

greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson
Vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day and
the round trip will only cost TWEEN
ty-fye cents. Trout creek, large
stream passes right through the
vicinity, thus affOrding pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity

you will have TO secure a GOOD
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in DinSmOre are
enjoying a good trade and the

timber to build, and labOrerS who
desire work can get from a dollar

EXECUTIVE MANSION, J,ese %. Isss.


Judging by the meeting at Hancock
Hall ON Tuesday afternoon of last week,
we infer that many of those citizens of
Ellsworth who reside outside of the city
proper. are entertaining the erroneous
idea that the interest of those living in
the outlaying neighborhoods is not idcuti-
cal with the interest of those living in.
or near to, the business center Of the city.
Such an error, if it exists, is greatly To
be regretted Tor it is a very mischicNiou>
one. The municipal interest of every
portion and ward of our city is Identical
Whatever of good an evil comes to one
portion is a good or an evil, which, di-
rectly or indirectly, comes To all. 1t i
not the merits or the dement's of the
disposition which was made of the rcSolu-
ton before the meeting which have given
rise to the foregoing words, but rather
the irrelevant remarks that We're dropped
relative to the water question, abStractly
considered, in its bearing upon the out.
living districts. The forcibly old saving
