Gently made by Messrs. Millikin and

This is sure and unmistakable
evidence of the growth of our town.
Real estate in Providence has been
greatly on the increase during the last
year, aud houses have been built in
every part of the town. In the last
four years more than fifty house
were put up in town, and to-day. we
do not know of single residence for
rent in or near Providence. Lots are
selling very well in the New Provi-
dence, aud there is already quite q
number of houses in what was last year
cotton field. 10 fact, there is gen
eral desire for every one to get home
every one wants to quit paying rent
and get little home that they may
call their own. Lumber is much
cheaper than il used 10 be, brick will
soon be down to eight dollars thous-
and and the town is bound 10 increase.
We are not booming, but steadily and
healihily growing.
