ABOUT BOOMING TOW .VS.
'Mie I'raetloe is Dyitiir out. Says i lie
Ilrinlol Courier.
The practice of booming towns is
likely to play out. The people are
learning how it is done. A favorable
location is selected; advertisements
are scattered: railroad excursions are
organized, and, in many ^instances,
free passes thrown in. The land,
which cost hut a few dollars per aero,
is cut up into lots and sohl for thous?
ands Then the boomer look- out for
fields that lire new, pastures that are
green, and suckers that are fresh.]
There is nothing legitimate in the
business: in fart it is downright rob-!
bery. There a re except ions, for t here
are towns which from their natural j
advantages and favorable location,
will become places of note. Even
these will require the expenditure of
large sums of money and years pa?
tient toil to bring them to the front.
Hanks must be organized, for capital j
is necessary; factories and industrial J
enterprises must be established, ,for
labor must have something to do:
railroads must be built, for transpor?
tation is to a town what the blood |
vessels are to the body: anda thous?
and other things, such as churches,]
school houses, streets, sidewalks, |

booms and booms, and boomerangs.

World's Pair Commissioner*.
(iovernor McKinney, in recommend
ing commissioners for the World's
Fair from Virginia, writes as follows
to Secretary of State Blaine: "I beg
to nominate the following gentlemen:
Hon. John T. Harris, of Harrisonburg,
Rockingham county, as the Demo?
cratic commissioner, and Alexander
McDonald, esq., of the city of Lynch
burg, as his alternate; General V. D.
Groner, of the city of Norfolk, as the
Republican commissioner, and Mr.
Charles A. Heermans, of Montgomery
county, as his alternate." The (iov?
ernor concludes : "From my knowl?
edge of these gentlemen, I am sure
they will make most efficient repre?
sentatives of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, and I believe them to be the
choice of their respective parties."
Episcopal Council.
The Council of the Dioces of Vir?
ginia convened at Fredericksburg
yesterday. This is the great repre?
sentative body of theEpiscopal church
iu the State, and every church will be
represented at the session wheh will
continue several days. Rev- F. M.
Whittle, senior Bishop of the church,
will preside ovor the deliberations of
the body, and a very intesesting ses?
sion is anticipated,as many important
subjects will be brought up and dis?
cussed. _
A New Railroad.
A railroad is being built from Bed?
ford City to Glasgow, a distance of
eighteen miles. This line will connect
tlie -Norfolk and Western with the
Chesapeake and Ohio system. Mr.
James Berry is the president. This
road will be part of the great trunk
line from Pittsburg to Atlanta.

sergeant, and as such worked like a

Smith will be the next city sergeant."
It seems that he didn't get the neces?

"Hold on," exclaimed Mr. Evans,
"don't be too fast, it may be you
are drinking at the expense of the
retiring mayor." This created quite
a laugh.
It was a tired lot of candidates that
tramped around from the different
polls about 0 o'clock, and as one of
the boys expressed it, "They were as
dry as achip, "Their shoes are covered
with dust, collar limp as a dish rag,

an appearance that would make a

There was one of the most bewild?

day ever seen in these parts. He was
surrounded by about eight candi?
dates and he had both hands full of
tickets and couldn't choose which one
to cast. After much stick talk by the
candidates he was gotten to the polls
and shutting his eyes, drew one from
the lot and put it in.

While so much is being said about
the advantages of West End property
Mid that of other sections west, of
Jefferson street, it must not be for
gotten that there are other portions
ot the city just as attractive.
Roanoke's growth is not confined to
any one particular direction but she
is stretchingout her long arms and
taking in all of the valuable proper?
ties on ali sides, north, south, cast
; nd west, in this reepect Roanoke
is like the octopus and when it
reaches out after a thing, and gets its
suckers on it, something drops.
Among the prominent additions in
the East End, is that of the Oak
Ridge Land Company. The addition

I ie East Side Land Company's prop?
erty arid adjoins the farms of Messrs.

This offers every inducement as a
place of residence. 11 is remover! from
t ie bii-iness portion of the city and
r lerefore gives a quiet, surburban
home, while at the same time it is
near the dummy line and therefore
quite convenient to the city.
The land is high and dry and has
jtibt enough slope to give it good
drainage. Gasand water mains are
b -ing put in and new streets are being
I; id out. Everything is propitious
a id ii is destined to take its proper
p a-.- in the front rank. It is located
near the furnace, rolling mill, bridge
works and the machine works and
off? therefore, greater inducements
to the workingrnan, as it is near his
w .rk. A number of neat-cottages are
going up and others have been con?
tracted tor.
James S. Simmons & Co. are ageuts
for the company, and they can give
good bargains. The property is going
rapidly and if you want to obtain a
good bargain call on them at once.
The prices for the lots are low and the
