THE ALLEN PROPERTY SOLD.

Reid Livery Sold.
A deal was made Wednesday after
noon whereby Mrs. James Brown and
A. w. Ferguson became the owners of
the Allen property in this village con-
sisting of l2l feet frontage.
For some time past different persons
have been trying to secure a building
site on this property, but Mr.. Allen
would not sell in part, and in order to
bring about the desired results for the
present owners they decided to buy the
whole piece as above stated, Mr.. Fer
guson taking the north Is feet and Mrs.
Brown the balance.
We do not know at this writing just
what buildings there will be erected,
but we understand that Mr.. Fergu-
son will build a brick building soon,
joining walls with his present block,
also Mrs. Brown expects to build next
spring. Mr.. Brown will utilize the
place now occupied by Mr.. Allen for
an insurance and justice Office in about
ten days. In the mean time Mr.. Allen
will offer his stock of goods at 25 per
cent below first cost if sold in bulk, as
he expects to move to Carsonville as
soon as convenient to look after his
property interests there.
This important change will no doubt
be the means of several fine build
ing being added to our village soon, as
the site is one of the best that could be
had.
