The demand for residence properties in Geneva is constantly increasing. The proprety owner who has u residence to sell does not have to bid long for a buyer. Some of the very best residence properties in town have changed hands during the past week. Adam Buettel sold his new resilience, also his old home place at a good price He has already given Contractor Callihan the job of building another good residence. The price of lots is a barrier to extensive building up of the town. In many cases the owners of lots have put the price so hgih as to shut out persons who would otherwise purchase and build resiliences that would lie of liermanent value to the town. Everybody’ should encourage the building of homes.—Geneva Horn'd.
