LIBERAL CORNER SOLD.

K. of P. Lodge Has Bought the Property. At the meeting of the Knights of Pythias Lodge Tuesday evening a committee was ordered to purchase the Liberal Corner of A. Leopold, on wh ch the lodge has held an option. The ground is 63x100 feet and the price to be paid is $4,500. The ground is covered with old frame buildings which bring in a rental of SSOO to S6OO per year at the present time. It is the intention of the Knights when they are able financially to replace the present buildings with a fine business and lodge building, to be built of brick. We believe the purchase of this ground is a wise move on the part of the lodge, and one that will be profitable for the order.
