PRESS PEOPLE.
TO THE SOUTHWEST
ON THEIR EXCURSION.
Two STOPS In THIS CITY.
1t VIII BIO Large and Talented Crowd
They VIII be Banqueted in Norfolk
And Ali Along tho Line--A Visit to
Pulaski and Misunderstanding

A telegram received by the TIMES
last night, from Boston, announced
that the suburban Press Association
had sailed for Norfolk on their trip
through Southwest Virginia.
They will arrive in Norfolk tomor-
row at noon and will be entertained
by the Business Mems Association.
At 10 o'clock they will leave for Roam
oke, where they will arrive at 1916,
and for three hours will be entertained
by the citizens.
From Pulaski the party will go to
Ivanhoe Furnace, staying there about
four hours, and then returning to the
former place, where they will spend
the night and eat breakfast the next
morning.
Wednesday at 500 the train will
pull out for Salem, and from 10 until
o'clock they will be the guests OF the
citizens. They will reach this city in
time for a half past-one o'clock din
ner, and at 7:05 will leave for Natural
Bridge where they will spend the
night and the succeeding day in visit
ing this great curiosity of nature:
Luray will be the next place visited,
and night and day will be spent in
exploring the wonders and beauties
of the caverns
The party will then leave for Wash
ington where they will remain from
Friday until Monday. The route, as
outlined, may be slightly changed so
as to allow the press people toattend
the unwilling of the Lee statue, in
Richmond, but this has not yet been
definitely decided upon. From Wash
ington the party will go TO Baltimore
thence to Norfolk and thence back
to Boston.
1t is hardly necessary, we trust, to
remind members of our commercial
and individuals aside
from their utilization with such bodies,
that it should be pleasure, as it is a
duty, to make the necessary effort
and personally in the way
of attendance upon the visitors, for
their proper reception and comfort
here. This delegation will make
more extended tour than the former
one through Virginia.

ABOUT THE HOTELS.

Hinton Helper, the well-known cor
respondent, who has been travelling
in the north in the interest Of Roam
oke, stepped off the sleeping car of
the morning train yesterday, and will
spend several days in the city. He
was looking bronzed, somewhat, from
his trip, and has travelled over the
greater part of three States since last
he was here. He visited various
cities in New York, Delaware and
Pennsylvania, and presented the adj
vantages of Roanoke in sections it had
never been advertised before. He car
ried thousands of neat little circulars
with him, printed on yellew paper
and choke full of statistics, and sue
ceeded in enlisting great deal of
interest wherever he went. When he
returns he will bring down three or
four excursion parties with him from
Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Arthur Henry, staff correspondent
of Frank Leslie's, has been in the city
for the past few days gathering data
about Roanoke and the surrounding
section for descriptive article to APP
pear in an early number of Frank
Leslies. Mr. Henry is a slight young
man with blonde bushy hair and
wears Eyeglasses. He has Just come
from the lum Der region Of Michigan,
but says that he has seen no section
equal to the Roanoke valley in fertil-
ity. He left last night for Natural
Bridge.

ALYNCHRURG COMPANY.
The Rive-mOnt Land Company is
Strong Orc.

The RivermOnt Land Company Is II
Strong One.
One of the most substantial corpo-
rations of Lynchburg is the River
mont Land Company. The men at
the head of it are all thorough bust
ness men and are going into this with
vim.
The property of the company con-
tains about 1000 acres of land lying
contiguous to the city and company,
which are within the city limits. This
embraces the triangle between the
Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake
and Ohio railroads, and is only sepa-
rated from the city proper by a
small ravine which can be easily
bridged. This is the intention of the
company, and they will very soon
erect one or more handsome bridges.
The first one will be sixty feet wide,
of iron, and put up in the best style
and of the best material. This place
is within less than five squares of the
main busip ess portion of the city.
Among the enterprises that will
probably be established there will be
a mandatory of all kinds of cars; a
furnace to manufacture Bessemer pig
iron. belt line running three miles
through the Company's lands and
connecting the Chesapeake and Ohio,
Norfolk and Western, Richmond and
Danville, and Lynchburg and Dur
ham systems, and other railways CEN
tering at Lynchburg; a complete sys-
tenn of electric street railway, includ-
ing a line from the Union Depot, con-
Meeting with line which will cross
the new bridge in the Company's
lands; water works; a handsome mod
ern hotel and other large enterprises.
as utility suggests. The property will
be laid off into streets, drives and sites
for residences, business and manufac-
turing purposes, which will be placed
upon the market as speedily as the
scope of so large an enterprise will adj
NIT of.
Lynchburgs. environments and
rapid growth have made THE River
mont Company a necessity. 1t will
afford new homes to it's overcrowded
population and singularly attractive
sights for its rapidly expanding in
dustries.
The Company starts out under fav-
orable auspices and will, no doubt, be
big thing for Lynchburg. Roanoke
will probably be allotted block OF
stock SO look out and don't get left.

SECURE A HOME.
Rcnd the Inducements Offered II
Those Seeking Homes.

The real estate market has been
very active in Roanoke during the
past week. Owners agents and pur-
chasers were all in a good humor, and
everybody is satisfied.
The market during the week has
shown largely increased sales in every
department, and James S. Simmons
e. Co. report a number Of large sales.
Not only is this increase of sales very
noticeable in the transfers OF property
for speculative purposes, but also for
permanent investors, men who pro-
pose to build homes for themselves.
As the summer advances much &C
tivity in building operations is
noticed, and many new houses are in
process of construction. This natu-
rally makes the real estate market
much firmer, and agents are cores
pondingly happy. Simmons l. Co.
have been doing rushing business,
one of the best since the firm was
established The East End property
is changing hands very rapidly, and
many new houses will be erected this
season.
Among the prominent additions in
the East End, is that of the Oak
Ridge Land Company. The addition
lies lust east of Belmont and south OF
tie East Side Land Company's prop
erty and adjoins the farms OF
Messrs George Tayler and q. w.
Carr.
This offers every inducement as Il
place of residence. 1t is removed from
the business portion of the city and
therefore gives a quiet, suburban
home, while at the same time it is
near the dummy line and therefore
quite convenient to the city.
The land is high and dry and has
lust enough slope to give 1T good
drainage. Gas and water mains are
being put in and new streets are being
laid out. Every thing is propitious,
and it is destined to take its proper
place in the front rank. 1t is located
near the furnace, rolling mill, bridge
works and the machine works and
offers. therefore greater inducements
TO the worhiiGngman, as it is near his
work. A number Of neau-Gottages are
going up and others have zee con-
tracted for.
James S. Simmons & Co., are agents
for the company, and they can give
good bargains. The property is going
rapidly, and if you want to obtain a
good bargain, call on them at once.
The prices for the lots are low and the
terms easy, so every man can own his
home.

issue will be. Both parties are split

Time was, and not very long ago
either, when the mountain streams of
Southwest Virginia were not consd-
cred bad by sporting men. They could
spend a week or more with the rod
very profitably. but few try it now
Progress seems to deal n death blow
to that kind of sport. The mines
along the streams are running the
fish away The practice of washing
ore keeps the water muddy nearly all
the time and mud is fatal to bass,
trout and every other kind of game
fish. Hut the Southern chubb thrive
and grow fat on it. Who cares to
catch chnbb, though. Might as well
hang an old piece of drift wood.
