LII WHO WISH TO EMBA ARK
IA IN the enterprise of putting up Saw Mills

the following notice.
The writer of this notice, owns large tract of
land, in the County of Norfolk, and known as
Forks Patent 1t was granted to Gen. Washing
ton after the revolution, ana then granted to Col
camp.
1t is situated miles from Norfolk and Ports
mouth, and containing from five to six thousand
acres. The Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad
passes through the centre, and the Seaboard and
Weldon Rail Road through the North end of thr
land, and Goose Greek ear the centre which
empties into the Elizabeth river at Norfolk and
that forms the Elizabeth river with the Eastern
branch, forming to Hampton Roads with the
James River, thereby giving free outlet to the
ocean-which gives free access to all the markets
of this Country and Europe.
The character of the timber, both for Saw
Mills and Cording purposes, is very SUPERIOR
And to all capitalists who wish to embark in the
lumber business, would advise to call and get
further information.

A RARE CHANCE FOR INVEST
IN MENT In CITY LOTS!
THE BEST HOTEL SITE IN TIE CITY,
--Ol-
ELEVEN VALUABLE BUILDING LOTS FOR
SALE.
Owing to the great and increasing demand for
stores, Offices, and Dwelling Houses.
In the central part of the city, the owner has
been induced to offer for sale
THAT VALUABLE UNIMPROVED PIECE OF
PROPERTY AT THE CORNER OF MAIN
AND NEBRASKA STREETS,
On which the old City Hall and Jail formerly
stood.
This property stands next to the centre of bust
ness in the city, and is so located Of necessity
1t must Immediately be brought into requisition
or business purposes, in view of the rapidly i'm
proving condition Of the city, and consequent ex-
tension of ST ,res for the accommodation Of trade.
The location of this property is tH
Midway between the Market House and
the Depot of the Norfolk and
~f.s Petersburg Railroad,
Which will be in operation now in few months.
EQUALLY CLOSE TO MOST OF THE
STEAMBOAT LANDINGS. @
And the entire site presents an
UNSURPASSED LOCATION FOR 4 NEW

Which the increasing business of the city already
calls loudly for. A Hotel built on this entire
property could be arranged to have
TWO FINE STORES ON MAIN STREET
AND THE HOTEL ENTRANCE,
Besides Eight or Ten stores on Ne

All of which could be rented at once, so great is
the demand for business locations.
If not sold entire the property will be divided

here in regard to the rapidly increasing value OF

THE SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD

| The discussion of the merits of this pro-
ject and the good faith of those who have
control Of it, in these columns, has drawn
out t he Pennsylvania Railroad company, at
great length, il an article which viii be
found in another column Of this paper taken
from the U. s. r. & M Register which en-
deayors to satisfy US (of which we
were satisfied long ago. of the importance
and superiority of this route, and that the
Pennsylvania Railroad intend to build the
road (of which we are not so well salts
fed which We hope every reader interested
in the project in this county viii read In
brief commentary upon our article of two
weeks ago the Register says
The Southern Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has all the legislation itrequires
the Pittsburg and Connellsvile Railroad
Company has not Hereinis the difference,
and a very substanstial difference it Is, too,
as some folks realize.
All but the very Oldest residents on the
route of the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad
will pass over 1t in good time, in eomiorta-
bic cars. 1t is too big road to be built in
hurry, and time and money spent In
survey and location will be amply repaid out
OF diminished cost of construction, ana also
out Of the greater economy with which the
line will be operated, after it shall have been
opened for commercial uses.
There ought to be a new edition OF the
old song Wait for the Wagon, with rail-
road adaptations.
The allusion to our Inpatience is all very
well; this place has been waiting for the
wagon for at least twenty years and if that
brief space Of time is not sufficient to wear
out our patience then we cant see it, -
that's all. One Of the principal arguments
used by the parties concerned in the
construction is that they cannot pro-
ceed until the litigation in which they
are engaged with the Connellsville company,
is terminated. The why and the where
for no one understands. IF they intend
to build the road, as is asserted over and
over again by the Register, what has the
Connellsyille road to do with it? The boast
that the Central company has all the Legis-
lation that it requires, land we mean to hold
them to it, is sufficient for their purpose II
they have all the Legislation they want,
then the Connellsvill Company is no barrier
to the building of the new line. 1t is to be
hoped that the Legislature having done its
work so well, the Central Company viii pro-
ceed without unnecessary delay to perform
its part of the programme We know the
Register does not use the argument spoken
of above, but this is the argument used by
Mr. Scott and others IF the road is not
to be built, provided the litigation should
terminate adversely to the Southern Penn
sylyania Company, we want to knowit now?
