is here for the purpose of selling lots
in the new subdivision of Sarpy, on
the east bank of the Mississippi river,
about twenty miles above New Or

this new subdivision gives promise OF
becoming town in the next few
years with population of several
thousands. Fourteen hundred lots have
already been sold, and many houses
have already been built, while sever
al more are in course of construction
The lots are sold at prices ranging
fom $40 up and on easy terms. This
