BEGINNING OF DEVELOPMENT.

The development Of Southwest Viz
glnia In the next few years, by North
ern and home capital, without a1as-
geration, will be without parallel in
the history Of the state.
The first work Of this development
has already begun, and will increase
with geometric progression as it pro-
ceeds. Half dozen or more new
towns, and equally as many furnaces,
are being laid out and constructed in
the Southwest, and capitalists are con-
tinually seeking new places for invest
ment in the surrounding country.
Some idea Of what one company is
doing and intends TO do in this line can
be obtained from the interview with
the manager of the Virginia Develop
ment company, published IN another
column. This company has already
completed negotiations for the invest
msnt Of nearly q half million dollars
in furnaces, lands and mines at Buena
Vista, Salem, Graham AID Max
Meadows, and have "a, 100000 more
which they contemplate expanding in
similar way.
The persons who comprise the COM
pany are staunch, shrewd American
and English business men who have
thoroughly examined the section and
have great faith in its future.
They expect -to-see many good sized
towns along the line of the Norfolk
and Western and Shenandoah Valley
roads, and have invested largely in
= rsa! estate at different points. They
havs also ascertained that the iron
mines in the vicinity are almost mex
haustible, and have placed good pile
Of money in new furnaces.
All of the investments being placed
by the company sre made on the most
thorough business principles. Their
mansger is man of long experience
in the iron business, and profit is ex-
pected from every dollar invested.
While the Virginia Development
company is the largest of the kind in
this section, there are number OF
other smaller ones devoted to the same
work, and individual capital is also
doing considerable in the same line.
Northern capitalists are here almost
every day, and in another column will
also be found an account of party Of
Pennsylvanians, who are prospecting
near Big Stone Gap.

rrowro IMPROVE ROANOKE:

The TIMES has already published
numerous interviews with prominent
business men of the city in regard to
the adyisability OF approprlatlng
800, 900 additional in order to secure
the construction Of the Roanoke and
Southern, and also many valuable and
interesting suggestions as to what
ought to be done TO aid it's growth.
Among the latter interviews were a
nun Der of comments about the need for
internal improvements, more paved
streets and better sewerage, and the
TINES purposes now to publish the
views Of citizens as to what ought to ee
done by the city council, under the
present circumstances and financial
condition, for the benefit Of the town.
OF course, in new town where hun
dreds of buildings are in course of erec-
ton. and the suburbs are growing
rapidly, streets Uttered with bricks
and mortar and la,hes and building
debris, cannot be helped, nor can side
walks be constructed fast enough 10
keep up at once with the laying and
grading Of new streets.
Reasonable person perceive this,
and do not expect to find everything in
completed shape, but there is no doubt
also that much can be done at the
same time both to make the city more
attractive to strangers and more COM
Portable to the people residing here.
The members of the city council in
their works are guided largely by public
opinion SO far as they can obtain it,
and the interviews representing differ.
ent shades of thought and opinion will
be profitable as suggestions to them,
and as consensus of the views Of the
people.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in
dividual. Such a remarkable event
is treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in
praise of Electric BitterS. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use of the Great Altern

I admire the puck and push that has

Florida | want to go there to get ideas
that will aid us in building up this coun-
try. Such excursions as you propose do
a great deal of good in that direction.
Last fourth of July one of your principal
merchants came here on one of these ex-
cursiOns. He saidTarpon Springs was the
prettiest place in the State with the ex-
ception of DeLand. Now this did not
make me feel particle jealous, on the
contrary from all had heard of DeLand
/ thought if Tarpon Springs was a good
second we ought to feel proud. Butsaid

The Biggest Gold Nugget.

There have been big gold nuggets
found in various countries, but the largest
ever discovered was found in New South
Wales, Australia, on May 10, 1872. It's
weight was $40 pounds; height, feet 9
inches; width, 8 feet 2 inches; average
thickness, A inches, and it was worth
$l4S,SOO. 1t was found imbedded in
thick wall of blue slate, at depth Of $50
feet from the surface. An interesting
feature of its history was that the owners
OF the mine were living on charity when
they found it.-Jewelers Circular.

the same merchant, st think the beau
tiful bav ouwnnld he improved If there
were few more palmetto trees around
it. giving it more tropical look, and if
a little larger opening was made in the
pines so that the Gulf could be seen a
little palmer" I had not tht ught Of it
before, but saw the criticism was good,
and the next day had men at work
making larger opening to the Gulf, and
had fifty more palmetto trees set ont.
So yon see that in bringingsus together,
we exchange ideas, become better ac-
quaintpd and are far more useful to our
selves and others. By all means getu
the excursion and we will endeavor to
meke it DeLand's greatest dav.
Since writing the above it has occurred
to me how nice it would he if we had a
railroad to connect the O. B R'v with De-
Land. Then we would be no longer
strangers. We could send Won fresh fish
and oysters every day, md for q change
you could come to the Gulf ard fish and
boat ard bath. think that it. is a rea-
sonable hope that the same energy that
has made DeLand what it is will reach
out and bind it to the Gulf with iron
bands. A.P. K. SAFFoRD.
*x*
The young people Of DeLand are ex-
actly thirteen years behind in their ideas
in reference to the fashionable hour of
going to balls. The old an of 'severy-
body waiting until everybody gets there
is obsolete. At the Carrollton ball Fri
dav night the "crowd" did not put in an
appearance until nearly ten O'Clock, and
as consequence lost about two hours of
good solid dancing.
*x*
AS town noted for its good morals,
its fine class of people and it's religious
institutions DeLand stands head and
shoulders above all places in this Sec
tion. Where else in the state can you
find a town of our size that has nine
places of public worship? Where else
is there town where criminals are SO
few and crime SO little? Why is itthus-
ly2 DeLand has no saloon.
*x*
Yes, DeLard is a good town and a
pleasant place to live. Still there are
some things 1--WE are glad to say that
they are few that should be suppressed.
They would disgrace community with
less pretensions to morality than
DeLand. We refer to the negro brothels
and gambling dens on Rich avenue. The
Keepers OF two of these houses were ar
rested Monday and put under bond to
appear before the grand jury.

The railroad mentioned in Gov.
Saftord'sletter is notentirely anew idea,
but it is good one all the same. The
plan as proposed some time ago was to
build the road from here to Sanford and
make connection with the Orange Belt.
and finally extending it to the coast,
thus making a continuous line from the
Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico.
