passed the following resolution, offered
by j. c. Scheifer:

this company the terms Of sale until

title to the lot to be retained until all
OF the purchase price is paid, when the
purchaser shall be entitled to & deed
This arrangement will enable the
holders of stock of the company to put
it in on the purchase of lots at its par
value.
The lands of the company have been
cleared off, plotted. and every lot desig-
mated. The attractive location of this
property, apart from its advantageous
surroundings, and the great demand for
houses, offer Inducements to those wish
ing to make profitable investments,
rarely offered.
There will, we expect, be large at
tendance upon the drawing of lots by
the subscribers on the I'd inst; and when
the company's lots are placed on the
market on the Sd, we have no doubt
there will be rush of bidders. Every
dollar invested at Clifton Forge will
yield handsome return, and the longer
the lots are held the better it will be for
the holder.

Western Lunatic Asylum, furnished a
pleasant evening to the patients and a
few invited guests at the Amusement
Hall of the Asylum Tuesday night last
Miss Fannie Delmar Hunt, of New Or
leans. kindly offered to aid by her splen-

err and his son rendered some beautiful
instrumental pieces. Miss Hunt sang a
number of songs, some showing the
beauty, strength and compass of her

pleasing compositions calculated to have
q fine effect on her hearers. Miss Hunt
sings well. We must not forget Mr..
Page, nor the string band of the Asy-
lum, composed of Messrs. McQuaine,
John and Will Price, Whitsell, Miller and
Franklin.
1t was pleasant evening. Two fea
lures were striking to the visitor-the
neat, tidy appearance of the patients,
and the earnest interest manifested by
DIR. Blacllford in those under his charge.

Dr. Blackford shook hands with and
spoke kind word to every one he met,
going among them for that purpose.
They all seemed delighted at the atten-

Tennyson- Dawson Show.
The Tennyson and Dawson Grand Gift
Carnival and Refined Specially Company
closed a most successful three nights
engagement at the Opera House last
night. This company labored under
some disadvantages, having never played
together until their opening. The re

combination visiting this city. 1t has
been pleasure to our people to patron
iZe a performance so refined in every
part and feature. OF the people of the
magician, ranks with the best. The
Irish team, Mccoy and McEvoy, are
simply inimitable Mr.. S. T. Su Ter is
decidedly expert with the rife. Little
Nellie is the ladies' favorite and the gen
tlemen's pet Her dancings are wonder
full. The original Majilton, the fantastic
and comical, is too well known to need
special mention To see BIN is to laugh
and laugh heartily.
Prof. James F. Lamb is certainly
Americas great ventriIoquist.
The presents given away are elegant
and useful 1t is good show and will
receive q hearty..welcome by our citizens
should return engagement be played.
We wish them success.
