His Recent visit 10 Roanoke.

The Hagerstown baseball team re
turned from Roanoke Yesterday after
noon victors of two of the four games
played in that city with the Roanoke
club. The last of series Of foul
games was played on Saturday in the
presence of about eight hundred spec
tators, our boys entering the game
under great disadvantages, and drop
ped it to Roanoke by a score of / to

previous, and in the second inning.
with the score of to Q in favor
of Hagerstown, Shank, who
was catching Burns i'll fine
stvle, was struck squarely in
the face with red hot ball,
and was compelled to retire. HELENE
succeeded Shank but he could not
hold Burns, and after q number OF
passed balls the fielders became de-
moralized and the Roanokes piled up
run after run. While this was unfor-
tunate in itself, our boys had to face
a professional pitcher, and the record
they made of capturing the two games
is one of which they can feel proud.
They afforded the Roanokes the best
ball playing they ever witnessed, and
came out of the contest stand-otf
with a club that was and is the pride
of Virginia, and one that anticipated
an easy walk-oyer with the amateurs.

AS the summer advances much 9 =
tivity in building operations is

ally makes the real estate mark It
much firmer, and agents are CORE $
pondingly happy. Simmons 4 Co.
have been doing a rushing busine! ;,
one of the best since the firm was $
tablished. The East End proper y
is changing hands very rapidly, al d
many new houses will be erected til 5
season.
Among the prominent additions 4
the East End, is that of the o. K

lies Just east OF Belmont and south #

GLADE ADDITION.
n Beautiful and Convenient Locatio "a
for Buildings.

No city in the South has grown with
greater rapidity than has Roanoke,
and probably not one is on a firmer
foundation considering its ago.
Roanoke swells and grows each dal,
and unlike most cities, does not grow n
any one direction more than an othe',
but is being rapidly built up on eve y
side, north, east, south and west.
The influx of population since 1e a
has been enormous, and hundreds IL
buildings have gone up to supply tie
demand. There has been no lull II
the erection of houses this winter, ey-
cept that occasioned by the rain, al d
drive in what direction, you will he r
the sound of the hammer and eN l.
! dences of building meet your eye.
Hundreds who rented houses o few
years ago pay taxes now, ownil e
their dwellings,, and the erection OF IT $
licences is the best index to the grow h
of the city and the strongest asst
ance that the city is here to sta :
The homes that have been bu 1t
here within the past year are, maj y
of them, as handsome, artistic 81 q
expensive as can be found anywher b.
population, numerous additions ha e
been laid off and the lots placed n
the market. Among the many val L
able properties hereabouts, none f.
fer greater inducements as a place )f
residence than the Glade addition.
This property is situated just ea st
of Glade creek andis traversed by t lie
Vinton extension of the Roano ;e
street railway, which places it in J.
rect communication with the cent? Al
portion of the city, person can Ii re
in that section, and if his place of
business is in the upper pa TT
of the city, or even in tie
West End, he can take the street II
and be ready for the days work It
the usual time. Every benefit OF a
suburban residence is obtained, wit l,
out any of its discomforts.
The property is well drained al d
therefore healthy. 1t has been i.
vided into lots by the laying off If
wide streets and avenues. The vie y
to be obtained from Glade addition is
beautiful. On the east, toweril
hundreds Of feet in the air, are tie
Blue Ridge mountains. while on tie
south the Roanoke river winds itst II
like silver thread among the hll 5,
forming one of the most beautlf u
bits of scenery anywhere in Southwe Il
Virginia. One of the principal fei t.
ures about the Glade property is the
easy terms upon which the lots can 'e
gotten. The prices have been plac' d
so low that it is within the power d
every man TO own his home. Mess $
