n ISTS,-Fhe valuable Ballard
Hotel, in the City Of Rich mOnd,
Va. and Fixtures attached there.
TO, for sale AT AuctiOn..-Att the request
of the owner, Mr., John Ballard, we shall sell
at public auction, on the premises. on THURS
DAY, the list June, 1865, at . o'clock NJ, the

tablishm, Mt and regarded the best arranged one
| in the South.
The premises are in perfect preservation except
as to painting and cleaning, which are now In

ready for occupancy. The Hotel contains III
rooms Ia six stories high with offices and stores
fronting on Franklin street. A sketch of the lot
will be shown at the SALE
The II, tel until it was closed last year enjoyed
| a large and lucrative patronage; and when it
shall I've re opened under the present favorable
auspices, cannot fail 10 do q much larger and
more profitable business, for the reason, amongst
Others, that the recent confagration destroyed
quito number of hotels.
To capitalists IL presents great inducements, as
there are number of applicants to rent the pro.
perty and to hotel keepers no better opportunity
| to make money can be offered. To those who
may be unacquainted with the property it may
not be amiss TO say, that 1t cost originally more
than $3.50 900, when building was cheaper than
| il now is.

portion of the furniture will be sold. consisting
of % very large Mirrors, the Cornices, Chande.
