think this sturdy old town Will pnt

reasonable conclusion will be that capital
ia off in its instincts for once. On those
DAVIS the Richmond and Harrisonburg
Land Company will offer for sale Duo OF
the beautiful and desirable business and
residence lots in their addition 10 inc
place.
7 saw capital will he off in its instincts
IL these DAYS are not gala-days-that Is,
Il there is not crowd of purchasers
bere-for the reason that capital never
allows such an opportunity to thrust IL
self under its nose without taxing ad-
vantage OF it.
GEM.
Harrisonburg is in itself gem set IN
surroundings of other jewels-such as
beautiful scenery, rich agricultural lands,
and still richer mineral deposits, IN
Gliding iron, coal, lead, and mineral
paints. and that it is destined to become
a big industrial city seems as fixed as the
laws of the Modes and Perslans-aye,
fixed by an irreversible law OF nature.
In fact. as | have mentioned IN previous
communication, it is already an indus
trial seat Of no mean Importance,
and a striking feature of the conditions
is that ITS progress in this direction
was not the result of booming, but OF
the logic of its location and It's ENVIRON
ments. Industries sought it as If by at
traction. The industries here ut present
represent capital OF over 81, 5OO, 0OO
and the same force of gravitation that
brought this amount to HarrisOnburg ls
operating in intensified form to multi
ply it many times.
FoREwARNED is FoRKARMED.
Prospecting in the mineral fields
around Harrisonburg, and its railroad
connections established and to be estab-
lished. have forewarned capitalists that
there must be an imperative demand for
building lots here within very short
time, and ordinary business sagaclty
would seem to dictate that now Is the
moment to make true the motto fore
warned is forearmed by preparing TO
meet this demand. Certainly this pre-
paration appears to guarantee large pro-
fits.
NATURAL EXTENSION.
An observer Of the manner IN which
Harrisonburg is laid out must see that
the Richmond and Harrisonburg Land
Company made no error in securing the
property they now hold, for the simple
reason that the town under the pressure
of the causes that will build it up indus
trialy must grow, and grow in the direc-
ton of this addition. He must see fur
ther that an investment at the coming
sale. which is the first sale OF the COM
pany, will he taking time by the fore
lock.
LIBERAL TERMS.
The sale of lots OF the Richmond and
Harrisonburg Land Company will be on
most liberal terms. The terms OF pur-
chase will be one fifth cash, and the
balance in four equal instruments of six,
twelve, eighteen, and twenty-four
months, and the company will pay the
railway fare of each purchaser to and
from the sale to the extent OF
two hundred miles each way.
As has been stated the company
has begun the work of putting
extensive improvements on their pro-
perty, including 500, 600 hotel, and the
purchaser may rest satisfied from the
well-known character of the gentlemen
controlling the enterprise that they will
do everything possible to enhance the
purchasers interest. When they say
that now is the best time to make invest
ments they mean it. Investors will get
the advantage of subsequent improve
ments which will unquestlonably increase
values. This means that they Will he
