Jt. isom Wm. and Elizabeth Lunger, owners of the southeast quarter of section twenty-two, of township eight, range fifteen, about ten miles south of Holton and a short distance west of South Cedar. The depot was located at this point answer to the prayers of a large num ber of petitioners of Cedar township.

Mr. and Mrs. Lunger have determined to lay on a new town around tne oepop and soon soma good business houses will be erected. Eldora will be the name of the new town. Lowell Avenue.

M. Beck and W. II. Rob inson, commissioners appointed to con demn property for Lowell avenue, met on Monday, September 27th, and proceeded to discharge the duties for which they were appointed. Their report, filed on Wednesday evening, September 29th, awarded damages as follows: L.

Ten days are granted, from the filing of the report, for appeals. New towns spring into existence to day and boom to-morrow, but the third day there comes a biting frost that nips in the bud the bright prospects of those who fondly hoped to build a city in a month.

There has been no "boom," no unsteady or uncertain growth about Holton during all the years that have elapsed since John Coffin and his Wisconsin party looked down on this virgin soil and pronounced it a fit dace for a town, but there has been a gradual, healthy developement, which has brought to real estate investors certain and fair returns. To invest in Holton real estate is to try no experiment; what has been done in the past, when certain inconveniences were against us, can be done in the future when every "prospect pleases." There never has been a time in the history of the town when real estate was not advancing. Invest your money at home. SOLDIER SQUIBS. Monday, October 4th, 1SSC.

"It is amusing," says an exchange. "when soliciting to hear a man say it doesn't pay to advertise. Why does this man put out a sign? That's advertising. Why does he obstruct the pavement front of his store with samples of the goods he sells? This is advertising, too. Why does he daub the head of a mackeral barrel or dry goods box with the words: "AIloUk gOoDs cllep," and stick it up in a keg of beans or a bale of calico in his store?" Bids anted.
