Local Topics
I notice the same old adv. of "Free- port and Merrick lots for $89" is now appearing in the city papers. There ought to be a law against this, making the advertisers punishable by fine for publishing misleading advs. In the case we refer to, a registered letter asking for information as to lots for $89 in Freeport met with no re-iponse last season. Perhaps there are some new ones now but I don't think it worth while writing to find out. I am sorry though for my poor cousins in the city who are so easily bamboozled into giving up their hard eamed cash.
