Town Lots in Keirsey Offered for Sale
at Very Low Prices.

The Kiersey Townsite association,
composed of residents of Berkeley
and Frederick counties. is Offering
some very nice bargains in lots in
Kiersey, and from the interest display

full laying tract of land. and there Is
not a rough lot on the townsite. With
it's immense timber, coal and mineral
