A Slow Sunday In our NeiEhboring

The real estate of the late DIR. Israel
Weirick was sold at administrator sale
Saturday, very fair prices being realized.
The residence and store room on WASH
ington street, formerly occupied BY the

Schseffer for So, $50, and fraction of q lot
on the same street brought $3.50. A two.
story brick near the blast furnace was bid
in at $1.OO1, by Joseph Bird; house and
lot in NeHlsnd addition for $3.50; small
frame and brick corner of Locust aud
Fourth streets, by August Rohey for
81, 342; two other small pieces brought
ve,y good figures Considering that all
this property was in rather delapidated
condition. except perhaps the one piece on
Washington street, the prices are very
good, and point to the fact that that Mar
tins Ferry real estate is q good safe in
vestment. Tenement property Of the
proper class and carefully managed, pays
better here than National Bank stock.
AT ST MARY's CHURCH.
Rev. Father Wissel, c S S r, REDEEM

10 BE IMPROVED.
DR.. A. r Ong, c. W. Swartz and Chas.
w. Kuckuck, three business men all rent
ing rooms in the Commercial Block on
Hanover street have decided that they can
make better investment OF their money than
by paying rent with it They have purchas,
ed q lot from the James W. Gray estate,
extending from the alley 70 feet to the
brick house now occupied by 7. II. Heslop
and 100 feet back
More business rooms are needed very
badly, particularly on Hanover and Wash
iugton streets 1t is stated that the pur-
chssers of the Gray lot will commence as
soon as practicable, and construct a fine
large business block. With not less than
three store rooms on the ground floor.
This will relieve the strain little, and
will make an opening for several new
business enterprises which have held of
simply for want of room. Your reporter
had letter one day last week from a
clothing firm which wanted information
concerning q room in which to put $751;
600 stock of goods. Make room for 'ein,
and let 'em come.

teachers in charge. Prof. Sparks will

Some attention should be paid to the
old short cut road from Walnut street Il
the Mt Pleasant Pike. 1t is quite con
venience TO people coming to and going
from town, and small expense would put
it in passable shape. The recent heavy
rains have cut it badly.

the streets with promenaders and thu
corners and store doors with loafers. Quit,
large number took advantages Of the
pleasant day to make trip to the grave
yards and the water works, and had the

trees il would have been filed.
