MANUFACTURES
At the meeting of the stockholders of
the Buena Vista Company held in February
of last year QS90) the directors informed
the stockholders that they could secure a
number of industries if they pursued q
certain policy. The confidence of the
directors was pretty strong, but that they
did not reckon without their host is Justi-
fed by the following plant exhibit for the
year made at the last annual meeting.

SOME TELLING FIGURES.
A conservative estimate of the amount
of capital that has been invested in the
iron and dependent interests alone since
the Norfolk and Western inaugurated its
development policy IS estimated at S25.-
10000, and the debt Virginia owes the
COMPANY is put Mt $135, 900. This is
represented by the interest above men,
toned, $50, 900, 900 in the road and fran
cbises. $4,000 900 in coal and coke compa-
MES. etc, and 1888, 100000 in land compa-
MES and miscellaneous enterprises. And
still. as has been said, this is but the be-
Ginning, as must be clear to any who will
read the reports of uninterested experts
upon the properties through which the
roads extensions are being pushed.

BuESA VISTA. March 1.-THE outrageous
behavior of the grounding and its wes.
thor consequences have not had ire euoe.
of retarding progress at Buena Vista. l.
is true TINT affidavit has been made that
the grounding was seen disporting MIN
self and making astronomical observations
day late. but that proves nothing, except
that he did not receive his pstent-mea-
cine almanac on time. All know that tno
weather has been miserable since ground

But these people do not stop Tor vino,
rain, mud, or ANYTHING else. Notplng
short Of q 6rst-class earthquake WIN
chasm accompanlments would cause q sus-
pension of building and other operations
here and that would be only. temporary.
IL would be just the good luck OF tne
Buena Vista people to have these cDasms
reveal new deposits of minerals and decrease
the already small cost of mining. Iney
would bridge the chasms with substantlal
aud pretty IRON bridges and rig them Win
endless chains of buckets run by eiectrici-
ty for hosting the ore.
MARyEILoUsLY ENERGETIC.
Seriously speaking, Buena Vista Is one
of the most maryellously energetic anu
progressive places of the nineteenth CEN
tury. All through the winter and spring
monthsl It has been industriously engaged in
making good the promises of the autumn.
n has Gathered fine harvest, made big
profits on it, and is breaking ground for
still more fruitful and paying one. Nothing
about Buena Vista has hibernated,. Every
thing enters the spring season plethoric,
rotund, crescent, smiling, and reinvigor-
ated.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
Twelve months ago Buena Vista set no
claims as to what was going TO be done
here that excited great expectations. These
expectations have been more than realized.
The most sanguine are more than satlshed.
The most pessimistic haven't been left a leg
to stand upon. The prophets OF good have
got the prophets of evil on the stool OF re-
pentance, and those who didn't have faith
are very, very sad.
DWELLINGS.
A little over year ago the dwellings OF
Buena Vista mum bered ninetv-three. and
their value was put at 100000 This was
marvellous progress in itself, but on JAN
nary /. 1891, there were four hundred and
nine dwellings, costing S49s, 200. When
there were ninety-three dwellings in the
place there were only four stores which
carried a stock aggregating $500. NOW
there are some forty-fiye stores and the
value of their stock represents Sl14,60O.
There are in the place to-day three hotels,
two or three restaurants, thirty-odd board
