Leopold’s Addition.

Adjoining the original plat of tha town of Rensselaer on the east, is a tract of some seventy acton of aa jjltjr * land as Jasper county affords. This body is owned by Mr. A. Leopold, one of the most enterprising, for ceding and proepemus citizens of the town, who has juet completed the suryey and platting of the tract ijtto blocks, lots, stroetsrtand Rileys. Moat of the vacaht lots iu the original plat of, and older additions to, Retisielaej' have been held by the owners at prices beyond the reaeb of meehatilen irtd tnett who support tbeir famines by anta/U jobs and day’s labor. It Is to' afford this class of people an opportunity to procure homes of their own, and at the same time to realise -a profit for himself, that Mr. Leopold how placed his pioperty on the market in Ik* present shape. It will he seen by referring to tire advertising columns of this paper that Mr, Thom a* Boroughs is agent for the sale of 246 of Uteas lots. We are informed by both Mr. Boroughs and Mr. Leopold, {lint the prices, which of course Are graded upon a basis of ineatfoh, have been made with a full eonstderatinu of the E resent condition of finances and usiness, and are barely enough to give a reasonable margin over tha actual cost of the tract and pay expenses of surveying, platting and Incidentals, while the terms are so liberal as to place a home within the reach of any Industrious man or woman. White it Is preferred to sell these lots to those who will build upon juid improve them, a portion 01 least will be disposed of in bulk to persons desiring to make an investment of surplus: money where a reasonable profit may be confidently anticipated. Leopold’s Addition covers many choice sites for dwellings* and at no distant day, will, no doubt, be considered the handsomest portion of Rensselaer. * 9-17-aps.
