Liyel, Day For Business.

The number of people on the streets
yesterday was especially noticeable.
From early morning until late at
night there was an incessant and al
most impossible throng, all busily
hurrying to and fro, most of whom
were ladened with parcels. Not only
was the sidewalk seized by the throng
of pedestrians, but the street was fill
ed with vehicles. The country folks
were out in large numbers, and every
thing indicated prosperity and plenty;
happy smiling faces glided forth with
their purchases for old and young;
1t has been so long since there has
been a cry of hard times" or
cant get any work" that one almost
nearly forgets that such state OF af-
fairs ever existed. AT least, they are
almost unknown in this city of thrift
and progressive enterprise.
The merchants all pronounced yes
terday as one of the busiest in their
experience, and especially was this the
case with the fancy and toy stores.

Mr.. John w. Woods, who repre-

the state Legislature, returned home
yesterday morning to spend the holt
days, II recess having been taken by
the lawmakers OF the state until the
LIST of January.
He was visited yesterday at his Of
flee by many of his constituents, and
in the afternoon talked freely and
pleasantly to TIMES representative
about some of the important things
the legislature had already done, and
what it would also probably do before
an adjournment was taken.
Every little of Importance has been
done thus far" said he, most of the
bills passed being of a private charac-
ter. y bill providing for the sale of
tobacco, which was thought to be OF a

There is a strong sentiment among
the legislators in favor of making vot-

There is little doubt but that some
change will be made.

circumstances.
Are there any other important
measures than those mentioned likely
to be passed.
II think there will be some bill to
regulate railroad charges; perhaps a
railroad commission will be appoint
ed. There will also be some measure
looking towards equalizing taxation.
If it can be done without interior
ing with the constitution, measure
will also be passed to prevent Armour

dressed beef into the state in refriger-
ating cars. II is n question though,
whether this can be done

Gated at No 90 Salem avenue. show
what pluck and energy can do in bus

These gentlemen, though compare
lively young, and though they have
only been engaged in their present
business for four years, are by no
means young in experience and that
business tact necessary to make sue
cess of merchandising.
Their cautious actions, fair dealing
and promptness in business have not
only won for them a decided success,
but host OF friends in the different
business circles Of this city. The first
two years their business quarters were
not as large as the present mammoth
size which they were forced TO
build on account of their large and
increasing patronage. They now oc-
cupy n room 10n feet deep, filled to it's
utmost capacity with everything
kept in hrst-class clothing and
gents furnishing house. Their grow
ing trade still demands much larger
quarters, and they will, soon after the
lat of February, extend their present
building back to Campbell street,
which will make the total depth 200
feet with frontage on two OF the lead
ing business streets, Campbell street
and Salem avenue.
Both Of these gentlemen give close
attention to business and are actively
engaged all the time. They also keep
employed Mr.. G.. K. McMurran, who
is skilled salesman and popular not
only with his employers but the trade
generally.
This firm acts upon the plan Of "a
great man, IF you would have your
business done 90, if not send" They
are throughly identified with the
various interests OF the Magic City,
acting in q progressive manner, always
ready to advance the interests in a
business like and liberal way. Not
withstanding the warm weather thus
far this winter, they have been doing
first-rate business, and are fully pre-
pared to supply every want OF dress.
They can fit man from head to foot,
and convert badly-dressed person
into one attired in the handsomest
and most elegant style. They expect
to sell lots Of goods next week.
NJ. HARRISON, THE JEwELER.
This gentleman came from Balti-
more about sixteen months ago, and
has built up a large trade in the jew
elry business He has been prompt
and courteous in business, guaran-
teeing all his goods and work to be
the best.
He served his apprenticeship for a
number OF years, and is master of
his business. He has on hand large
assortment of Christmas goods, and
jewelry Of all kinds, which he will
sell at price that is beyond colnpe-
tition. His present quarters are at
No. 81 Salem avenue, occupying q
portion of the Parlor shoe store, but
his business has increased so rapidly
and patronage has been so large in the
past year that he will at an early date,
occupy large store-room, for which
he has already arranged. He does a
general repairing business in connec-
ton with his store, using only the
best material. Parties desiring any
thing in his line would do well to give
him trial

DETROIT, December 21.-The Rus

the microbes travel in paper money,

been freely circulated in the city, it is

of the employees were sick at one time.

THE PROFITS ON REAL ESTATE.
What Has Been and What May he
Realized on Investments.

1t is O generally-admitted fact that
every man who invests in Roanoke
real estate makes money, and many
have made large fortunes.
A lot bought few years ago in the
now business part of the city for $500
was sold short time since for SIS, 900;
and a handsome little profit, wasn't it?
Well, there is plenty more money
to be made by doing likewise, and no
property offers greater inducements
for profit than that of the River
View Land Company, situated in
the western part Of the
city. The growth of the town is
largely in that direction, the land is
high, well drained and beautifully
located and the property, though just
put Oh the market, is being disposed
of very rapidly. 1t is contiguous to the
site of the new furnace which will soon
be in operation, and large part of it
also overlooks the picturesque Roam
oke River. James s. Simmons & Co.
are agents for the property.
