examined by the correspondent, $5 200,
uniess Mrs. HarTison's purchase of $2l,-
793 worth of property for the nominal
consideration Of 81 be counted. The
lots purchased by this lady are in the
pleasantest part OF the splendid tract
fronting on Matchmaking or Dahlongsa
roads, and two OF the lots running
through from one road to the other. As
yet no deeds have bsen recorded in Pres
ident Aarrison's name.
The deed FOR Mrs. Harrison's purchase
having been recorded the 7th of this
month, the first lady of the land must
have already embarked in her real estate
ventures when she expressed, at least by
implication, her disapproYal of ex-Presi-
dent Olsvelapd's suburban investment at
Oak Visw. The Rev. John w. Scott,
considering his sge, would scarcely go
into the real estate speculation on his
own account.
