NOTE.

This company is formed to meet Il
growing necessity. The phenomenal
development in Virginia presents I'M
rivaled opportunities for safe invest
mcnt and large and quick returns. Cap
ltal can nowhere earn surer or more spcc-
dy profits than here, whether in town
property, mineral lands, stocks or Sc
curities. Large fortunes have been lc-
ultimately and quickly acquired by in
vcstmcnts, both by individual effort and
especially by combined capital To
those who have the time and means to
come and see and invest for themselves.
no field offers richer returns. But the
visitor is embarrassed by the very null
titndc of opportunities offered him on
every side in the many localities, and
can, with difficulty. determine where il
is best for him to place his money.
Again: Even those upon the grounds
are often compelled to let Slip rare op-
portunitics daily presenting themselves.
simply because of lack of sufficient in
dividual means. 1t is frankly believed
that this Company meets both of these
embarrassments.

The third anniversary OF the ST.
Andrews Literary and Benevolent So
cioty was celebrated at their hall on tho
corner of Second street and Fifth ave-

literary and musical entertainment.
The entertainment began with Sc
lection on the piano by Professor Paul
Corner, followed by vocal chorus

society participated. Miss Lizzie Shehan
presided ut the piano. After the cho-
rus little Miss Mary Carr recited ''My
Dolly" in q manner that elected much
applause. Next followed vocal solo,
The Farm Home" by Mr.. James
Lindsey.
Councilman John Sheehan, on behalf
OF the society, then made few appro-
pirate remarks in regard to the occasion,
after which he introduced Hon. Charles
A. Mcliugh, solicitor for the Iron Belt
Association. Mr.. McIIugh spoke of the
benefits to be derived from such Organi-
cations as the benevolent and literary,
and made speech rcplete with sound
logic and practical suggestions. Ills re-
marks were listened to with deep atten-
stion.
~ Next on the programme was a vocal
solo by Mrs. s. NJ. Trophy. which was
sung with such power and sweetness
that In response to II hearty encore she
again came forward. and in voice of
exquisite richness and pathos sang, Il
am saddest when sing
The vocal duct, The Larboard
Watch" by Mcssrs. keenan, and Thomas
Cummerford received long and continu-
GUS applause.
Mr. Jack Cummerford captured the
house when he sang the parody on
called me Back Again. and when in
response to an enthusiastic encore he
sang piece on imitation of English,
Scotch, Irish and German peculiarities
the applause was deafcning.
This concluded the programme for
the evening and in making the announce
mcnt Mr.. Sheehan thanked the audience
for their presence and appreciation and
promised that series of similar enter
tainments would be given during the
