lachian Building and Investment Company
a corporation duly chartered under the laws
of West Virginia, and which has secured from

Business lots and 81 Residence lots, for the
sum of $40 500, with the understanding that q
part of said lots are 10 be built upon and other
wise improved by the said Building and In
yestment Company.
The Capital Stock of the Company is to be
not less than $4,000, nor more than 100000
of which amount SlO,500 will be applied to
the payment Of lots. and the balance expend-
ed in discharging the building obligation OF
the Company and for such other purposes for
the Advancement Of the Company's interests
as may be determined by the Board of Direc-
tors.
The par value of the Company's Stock is
placed at $1,000 per share, and is to be paid for
as follows one dollar per share at time the
subscription i made one dollar per share on
the call of the Board of Directors and one
dollar per share on the 3rd Tuesday Of each
month after the date fixed for the payment Of
the first call made by the Board of Directors
until the stock has been fully paid up. or so
declared II is thought that not more than
ten calls will be found necessary.
The plan and management Of the Company
will be thft which has been tested by many
similar Companies in the booming towns in
the great Valley of Virginia in the past few
years The Stock of such Companies has al
ways yielded good returns to the holders, and
is looked upon as one of the most profitable
investments.
II is believed, from careful and conserva-
tive estimate. compared with similar enterpri-
ses elsewhere, that the Stock Of this Company
will pay the holder thereof at least two dol
lars for every dollar invested and it is reason
able to expect that it will not fall short of o.
ther companies, many Of which pay from four
TO nine dollars for each dollar invested.

LETTERS
FROM THE ORIENT.
BY MRS. A. w. WILSON,
With Introduction by Rev. Samuel Rodgers.

''rhc fdi0cafe has received with pleasure this
anticipated volume. IL is charming I'm its
physical makeup, but much more 20 in its
breathing contents. IL is book with a soul,
and that too regeneraied and aglow with the
spirit of the mighty Leader who is still lifting
up his eyes unto the whitened fields. We
learned to admire the authors literary styo, as
well as the evangelistic trend Of her thought
during her now famous tour through the East
accompanying the Bishop and cleaning, like
another Ruth, In his footsteps, but We were
hardly prepared for this delightful book. II
is scenic graphic, soul-stirring. and will be
worth many thousands to the missionary
treasury. That woman. sharp-eyed and cul-
tivated. should have looked upon the modern
abomination Of deSolation at the chief seats
of its ignorance and misery, and then have
written down her impressions in thrilling sem
fences, would be epochal in the history Of the
Church but the present volume has a much
greater significance and should circulate oy-
erywhere. Next to its piety, that which inn
presses us most is its literary perfection. The
illustrations are numerous, and both illustrate
and narrate. II is marvel for cheapness-the
price being one dollar; but we apprehend for
quite other reasons than the last mentioned
that the book will have a great sale. "-Noc
