Gavt Report CATARRH REAL ESTATE CHANCES. Ths Priss f Cnrbondalo Property Is Literally Bowsing Thou Days, as Will Appear froea tk, Sam Set Forth IWlow. Notwithstanding the prediction that the price of real estate In this city Is declining, property la still on the boom, as may easily be seen by the prices paid for various' properties in the Inst few -eeks. Among those who have investe ? their money in r;Rl estate Is Furniture Dealer A. Berry, who yes terday purchased of Miss I'.lnnche Ar nold the property on North Main street -which has been occupied by Michael B. "White. The plot In question Is one of the most desirable pieces of property In the city, having a frontage of thirty toet on Main street and beliiK seventy five feet deep. The consideration paid by Mr. Berry was $6,000. which disap proves the prophecy that real estate is on the decline. The house which Is now on the lot will be at once torn down and work on a three or four story build ing will be begun shortly. The new building will be of brick and will h:ive all the modern Improvements. Includ ing these will be an elevator which will run to the top. The building will prob ably be devoted to the exclusive use of Mr. Berry and his rapUUg growing business was one of the principal rea sons for 'Mr. Berry's purchase. He can carry but a small stock in the store he now occupies, and half of Ms storage room being separated from the main tore makes it very inconvenient. The rooms -rill not be partitioned off. and will afford an excellent opportunity for (he display of furniture. MR. PHILLIPS DEAD. A ProaiUMBt Yoaag Mas Passes Away oa Monday Meat.
