Another great sale of lots will take
place in Bristol on the 18th Of Novem-
her next. Over POO choice locations
will, on that day, Toe sold at public
auction. The location of these lots is
admirable. some of them being superb

sufficient foresight Ia anticipate the
destiny of Bristol, will avail them
selve Of this opportunity, for when il
.hall have passed by, there will be no
more like unto il. The recent sale on
the part of the Council OF GoOdsOn,
demonstrated the popular confidence
in the future Of the town. That sale
was marked success. Yet the prices
were exceedingly low, when the beau
" and location of the lots Is taken
properly into account. Some of these
lots were not taken 10y those who bid
them in. Bat for cCeyy one not so to-
ken there at least fire applicants. The
demand for lots has not been satisfied.
To meet this demand, Col. John G.
King has placed in the hands of COM
mittee, the very cream of his land,
lying close up to Main Street and cX-
tending right up to King College, near
the Tennessee Depot, consisting of five
weIl-known gentlemen, selected from
both sides of our double town, and to
he, by them, disposed of upon the
same plan which was adopted in the
Goodson sale, in July. For particulars

The following is from the Baltimo

The following is from the Baltimore
Gazette:
1t is positively stated that Colonel
Flournoy has effected arrangements
with English and New York capital
lists, which will enable him at once to
commence the construction OF the
road from Danville to Bristol the
bonds to be issued being endorsed 10y
the Pennsylvania Central. 1t will be
recollected that in the struggle, few
months ago, in the Virginia Legisla-
ture. when the Pennsylvanians were
endeaVoring to obtain a right of way
from Fredericksburg 10 Richmond, the
charter which was given them was
saddlcd with n condition, requiring
the endorsement of the bonds Of
the Danville and Bristol road
whenever a certain sum-two or three
millions-should be subscribed IN stock.
At the Time the condition was c0nsld-
cred unimpOrtant, as IL was not sup
posed that there was any possibility of
placing such a stock subscription at
least for some time to come. 1t APP
pears. however, that Mr.. Scott has be-
come SO convinced of the value OF the
proposed road, that he has urged upon
the PgnnsylvaniaCentr the advanta-
yes to be derived from the Endorsement
of the bonds. and that the great Penn
sylvania corporation has decided to
adopt his suggestion, although it has
not yet obligated itself to do so, by ac-
ceptiug the Virginia charter. Al
though the immediate advantages to
be gained 10y the construction of this
road may, by some, be considered TO
be doubtful, its value to the Pennsyl-
vania Central, rs a complete check
mate to the Southern connection OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cannot
be doubted. Bristol is the point Vest
of the Allegheny Mountains where
the Virginia roads connect with the
Tennessee lines. Bristol, in fact, is
the key to the Knoxville, Chattanoo-
ga, Memphis, Mobile, New Orleans,
Vicksburg, Shreveport, and the great
Southern Pacific railroad.

The main line of the Route running to

to California. The Middle Branch, entei-
ing Nebraska at Plattsmouth, passes
through Lincoln, the State Capital, and
will ills year be finished to Fort Keerney,
forming the shortest route across the Com
tneut by over 100 miles.
Another branch OF. the B. NJ, divereing
at Red Oak. falls into line running down
the Missouri through ST. Joe to Kansas
City, and all Kansas. Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois, Southern 10 a
and Missouri, and, by slight divergence,
can see Nebraska also,
Loves of fine views should remember
