the market in this way.
will offer at public sale this desirable proper
ty, consisting of a number of Acre Lots beauti-
fully situated for home sites on Freedom Street
on the site of the old Fair Ground. Also. a
number of Town Lots on Freedom Street, near
Aain; and some on the proposed extension of
Bowery Street.
The City Water System extends past all these
lots.
There are also several lots on East Main Street.
besides a considerable territory of acreage prop
erty that will be sold in two and four acre tracts,
suitable for outlying pasture, or for building
pleasant suburban homes.
No such opportunity has ever been offered be-
fore, or ever CAN be again. to secure so valuable
property in what is conceded by every one to be
the most fashionable and desirable portion OF
our blooming, booming. beautiful little city.
To persons living in surrounding towns who
wish to secure home in Ravenna. this is your
opportunity. We have no railroads to cross. the
land is high and free from frost.
The moral and social tone of the community
is unsurpassed in the State.
Now let me suggest that you use your foresight

the property at your own price. on easy terms
A reasonable down payment, with balance OF
time to euit at legal interest.

The amount of work accomplished by Charles
Hanford every night, in the part of Marc An
tony. is incomprehensible. In the great Grafton
scene in the fourth act, the amount of work
would make dozen of the average modern
dramas, and to do this night after night for the
whole season, is something no other actor, past
or present, can boast of.
