To-morrow Is I be Day Set For the Auction Sale of the Houses aad Lots on Western Avcaue. The Daily Gazette has "before made extended mention of the mammoth auction sale of veal estate. Including several residences and twenty-nine desirable building lots, which Is to take ptace to-morrow, beginning at 10 o'clock a. at the premises on Wes tern avenue. The sale is one of the largest which has taken place in Chillicothe for number of years, and seldom has there been a more favorable opportunity offered to those who wish to buy a perfectly appointed home or a suitable location on which to build one.

All the property described in tbe bill of sale Is to be sold to the highest bid der, without reserve, and those who have money to invest In property, which is bound to Increase in value, a chance of a life time offers itself in the sale of these splendid lots In the R. O. Lewia sub-division. The old Smart homestead, which Is one of the finest suburban residences In the city, situated within five square's of the court house, should command a good price, as it la a desirable house in every particular, commodious and convenient, and in good repair, both as to the house and Its surroundings. The other cottages are of good size and built on a style strictly modern and up-to-date.

Bargala seekers should not fail to be on the grounds when the sale commences, as an opportunity will surely present itself which some one may afterwards wish he had taken advantage of.

The impression- seems to have gone abroad that Frank Wills, who was such a favorite here with Henshaw, In "The Two Old is not a member of the above company. This 1s a mistake, and furthermore.

Manager Sol oman, who called at The Daily Ga zette office this morning, makes the guarantee that he will forfeit the receipts of the house, to be given to any charitable Institution, should the performance of "My Dad, the DevllVnot be one of the cleanest, Brightest and most laughable entertainments ever given in Chillicothe.
