The Real Estate Exchange held their
regular monthly meeting last night,
President Hockaday in the chair.
a communication was read from Hon.
Paul c. Edmuds stating that the S75 900
appropriation for public building had
passed the House.
The question of advertising was
taken up an discussed at considerable
length. All present were in favor of
and taking up Mr.. Ieywood's PROPOSE
ton of advertising in screnty-hve
papers which he represented.
MIR. Simmons thought the results to
be obtained from the committee in ad-
vert1sing would be the grandest scheme
yet mado known for bringing Roanoke
before the public. He thought 500, 900
should BIO raised at once for securing
small industries, as it would be in itself
great advertisement.
MIR. Simmons said he would give one
twentieth of this amount himself The
Exchange should use every endeavor to
bring industries to Roanoke, and in all
its meetings this should be the chief
point of interest, and should urge all
land companies to subscribe literally.
This suggestion brought out the report
OF the committee previously appointed
to raise subscriptions whercwith to aid
in securing Il new industry. Mr. Lud-
wig, tho chairman, reported that about
twenty-five firms mad already subscribed
$3.50 each. Other members were re-
questcd to subscribe to the fund. and rs
