A NEW LAND SCHEME.
Twenty two New Houses to be Built I'M
der It.

twenty-five New Houses Co De Built IN
der It.
There is prospect that twenty
two new houses will be built on twenty
two contiguous lots under a very new
and novel scheme which is very soon
to be sprung on the public.
A certain club in town has been or
gained for the purpose of taking up a
piece of property in the western part of
the city. This piece of property,
which is already bargained for, is to be
divided into the number of lots stated.
Then the club will issue, tickets to any
one who is willing to pay ST. week
for them. There will be about 200 of
the tickets. When the entire 200
tickets are disposed of slips of paper
containing the numbers from.l to 200
will be placed in hat and one drawn
out. The holder of the ticket CORES
ponding in number to this number will
at once get deed to the first lot. That
drops this man out. He gets his lot
for 81. Now, the 100 ticket holders
left will contribute ST. apiece again and
another drawing is held, the lucky
drawer to secure the second lot, and so
on until the entire list of twenty two
lots are disposed of, the last man to
draw getting his lot for 500. Of course,
the l78 people left get nothing. The
money thus made out of the scheme is
to be loaned back to the lucky lot get
tiers to assist them in building the
twenty two houses which enter into the
scheme.
The club has not yet selected a name.
nor started the scheme beyond arrang
ing for the land. 1t will be opened up
in full blast in the course of a week or
so. The people behind the scheme are
enthusiastic pushers and they propose
to make a 60 of it.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous sur
faces. The perfect combination of the
two ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.
