MUCH ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE.

-----

AVERAGE PROPERTY AND TOWN LOTS

ARE IN DEMAND.

-----

    The real estate market has been rather active in Marlin the past few days. With the advent of the visitors from Mineral Wells, San Antonio and Alabama, mention of whose arrivals and objects has been made, there has been a marked improvement in the tone of the local demand for Marlin dirt.

    These gentlemen have made a number of investments, including about 30 acres in Threadgill addition, other acreage property east of town and a number of smaller tracts in town.  Options have been secured on considerable other property.

    The papers have not been perfected in some of these deals yet, but are in course of passage and will be closed up within a few days.

    The gentlemen know the value of property and they have not misplaced any confidence or any money in Marlin, the "Belle of the Brazos" and all together lovely.

    As to what these men are going to do with their holdings--well it will develop in time.  Suffice it to say just now that the town is in for a good deal.
