Last April we began to advertise our town lots, making at that time a number of statements in regard to what we would do. Through the non-completion of the Clinch Valley extension of the Norfolk and Western our railroad facilities at that time were very limited. We had no rail? road station and, indeed, one old farmhouse was the total sign of life about the place. Since then the railroad has erected a fine brick and stone freight station, one of the largest on the road, and will shortly erect a fine passenger station, while the Clinch Valley Company has spent, or is under contract to expend, ^350,000. A four-story hotel, the finest in Southwest Virginia, is under roof; a hand? some iron bridge, of 1S0 feet span, crosses the Clinch river; two second-class hotels have been built, and a large number of stores are building under contract. The com? pany has erected a handsome three-story building for its offices, and a fine stone bank building is Hearing comple- ; tion. Machinery for the rolling mill is on the grounds, and the I rack to the coal mines, three miles away, is com pl< 2 I, ..'. I coal is now coming out. A steam brick plant, the most complete in Southwest Virginia, is in operation, and :. large amount of grading and other work is going on. Tbl attracts a great deal of attention, while Rich lauds w rely at the end of a non-completed line. The c< mpletion of the Clinch Valley division this fall, and the r lining <>:" through trains between Washington and Louisville, putting Richlands immediately on a through line, will give an impetus to the prosperity of the town ?sufficient to throw it ahead of all competitors, and the at t tition of investors is called to real estate here as giving : reater promise than any town in Southwest Virginia.
