ROCKVILLE REAL ESTATE.
An $4,000 Sale-Proposed Change of
Location of the Race Track-Notes.

Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR
ROCKVILLE, May 8, 1889.
Cooke d. Luckett. real-estate agent. acting
under the authority OF the trustees OF the Rock
vile academy, has sold to Washington syndi-
cate, for 800 per acre, the West farm, con-
tanning 100 acres. lying partly within the cor
poration of Rockville and at the west end of
the town. 1t is understood that the purchasers
will proceed at once to open streets through
the 80 or 40 acres lying within the corporation,
and place building lots upon the market The
remainder of the tract will be subdivided into
villa sites of from to 10 acres, to meet the
demand for property of this character. Mr..
Luckett, who was formerly principal of the
Rockville academy, has only been in the real
estate business for few months. and attri-
butes the most of his great success in the same
to judicious advertising in The STAR.
1t is learned that the committee appointed
at the last meeting of the board of manage
ment of the Agricultural society to ascertain
the cost of six acres of the Dawson farm, adj
joining the present fair grounds, for the pur-
pose of extending the race track to half mile
have waited upon the owners of the farm and
learned that the price asked was $500 per acre.
AS the committee were limited to 500 per
acre it is not likely the purchase will be made,
and the project of selling the present grounds
Chandler Keys, near the northern limits of the
town. is now agitated. This land which has
| been offered them for 5000, lies immediately
ON the line of the railroad and would afford
! ample room for all purposes
Tuesday night an attempt was made to burn
the dwelling house of Mr.. Willie Musser near
Germantown. A portion of the weather board
| ing was consumed before the fire was discoy-
cred and extinguished by Mr.. Musser and his
| farm hands. There were evidences of coal oil
having been used to do the work Of the incen-
| diary.
The meeting of the Teachers association. held
here to-day, was largely attended. and much
| interest manifested in the discussion Of the
| various questions. At the conclusion of the ex-
ercises the teachers were paid in full for the
spring term. The next meeting will be held in
June next.
There is general expression of dissatisfac-
! ton among the republicans here at the reten-
| ton in Office of MIR. Calvin German s. AN
G. Advertising is profitable only when prop
| erly done,-that is, in the medium sure to reach
| the largest number Of those whose attention is
sought Money otherwise expended for that
purpose is wasted. To expend it wisely, ad-
vertise in The STAR. It not only claims the
largest circulation, but gives the figures, and
] swears to them!
