 Mir. II. A. Heller, of Felsenthal was in the city couple of days this week advertising his town and trying to in terest our citizens in town lot sale. The town lot salen business has been overworked here for sometime, and he met with no responsive chord. That is well. If our citizens have money to
 invest in town lots, let them invest here at home, and if they will improve them they will advance rapidly in price. This Is not mere talk. Lots which sold just few years ago Tn the Russell Addition, for instance, at S25, are now being sold at S75 and 800, and are rapidly advancing. Our citizens do not have to go elsewhere to get paying real estate investments.
