Real Estate Matters.
The real estate business in this town Is
very quiet but it Is the opinion OF those
who are posted that there will be boom
in building this spring. They argue that
as times are duh, labor will be cheap,
lumber will be cheap, and any one can
build house at small expense. Many are
desirous of safe investments and during
unsettled times will lay away their spare
cash in real estate. Land is low and under
such circumstances money SO invested
should pay good returns.

The proprietor OF one OF our we'll known

ran ahead by several dollars of that Of the
corresponding month last year. How
many business men can say the same!
