THE BuENA VISTA ADDITION.

An Opportunity to Get In on The Ground
Floor.
The property of the Buena Vista Land
Company is the old home stead tract of
Colonel George p. Tayloe and has been
known as Buena Vista for almost q
century It is n magnificent tract
crowned in the center with an elegant
mansion OF colonial style, surrounded
by beautiful grove.
The center of this property is less
than mile from the Union depot.
Numerous efforts had been made pre-
viously to place it on tho market, but it
was only recently that Colonel Tayloe
consented that his beautiful estate
should become part of the growing
city OF Roanoke.
The Roanoke river skirts the property,
forming horseshoe about it. The land
on the river Will be reserved for manu-
featuring sites. The property is beauti-
fully rolling and from its SUBMITS
views of unsurpassed grandeur can be
obtained.
An electric street car line, running in
nearly every section of the city, is to
take the place of the present poorly
equipped and inadequate horse car line.
This property speaks for itself It's
u,
less than one mile from the Union pas
seugcr depot. and is still nearer tho
location selected for tho Roanoke and
Southern freight and passenger stations.
1t is bounded on the south by Roanoke
| river, along which numerous manufac-
| turing sites have been secured. Tho
land is rolling, and aboundss. in pretty
! views and residence sites.
The lots, 80 by $50 feet in size, are
offered at 500 each. TO those familiar
with the rapid growth of Roanoke it is
not necessary to say this price is low
and offers a splendid opportunity for in
vestmcnt with the certainty OF large
| profits in the early future.
The large amount of money to be ex-
pended by the city on internal improve
mcnts, the erection OF $4,000, 900 worth
of buildings, the conversion of the
street horse car line into an electric
line, the shelf hardware plant, carriage
works, knitting factory, engine works,
and other manufacturing plants on tho
lands of the Roanoke Dcvelopmont Com

New Ci,stlc. Nn.

This is an old town, and is the county
seat of Craig county-Thc Iron County
of Firgina-which probably contains
more iron and manganese than can DO
found in any one countyin the Southern
States. Craig county lies midway be-
tween the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
on the North, and the Norfolk and West-
ern railroad on the South; and until tho
building of ,ho mineral branch of tho
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad this coun-
~ was so completely isolated that its
mineral value was almost unknown.

The School Book Law.

In some quarters discussion is going
on as to whether foreign languages can be
taught in the public schools of the state
under the new school textbook law.
This act applies to all parts OF the state,
except the cities of st. Louis and Kansas
City. Ii the law means anything at all,
it means that only the English language
can be taught in the public schools. On
this point we reproduce section of the
law:
If any of said bids be satisfactory to the
commission, then it shall proceed to select
the cheapest and best course of text BOOKS
so offered, as follows, to wit: Chart, reading,
spelling, English grammar, arithmetic,
geography, history, civil government, phys
iology and penmanship: Provided, always,
that all of said books selected shall be
printed in the English language.
As our readers are aware, a series of
textbooks have been selected by the COM
mission, and the section referred to has
been complied with IN every respect.
The right of school boards to use other
textbooks is abridged by section II which.
reads as follows:
Any school director or board of school
directors of any school district within this
state who shall sanction or permit any other
text book or books in the same bran :hes
and of the same grade as those hereinabove
provided for to be used in any public school
of such district, after the date herein above
specified in section eleven, shall be deemed
guilty Of a misdemeanor, and upon convic-
ton thereof, shall be fined not less than five
nor more than twenty five dollars for each
offense.
Section II a.. referred to in the last quot
ed, fixed September l, 1892, as the date
after which it will be unlawful to give
instructions from any other books than
the series selected by the commission.
Doubtless the law will prove Very unsat-
isfactorv in some localities where it is
customary to teach foreign languages
and church creeds as part of common
schO oil education, but there is DO such
thing as changing the law now, and the
only option directors have Is to see that it
is. enforced for otherwise they will be the
first co suffer lis penalty.-Jefferson City
Tribune.

The work men employed at the Everett
furnace, on the Huntingdon ard Broad Top
railroad, went out on strike one day last
week and then returned until the manager,
who was in Philadelphia, could be telegraph
ed. His answer "bank the furnace and stop
work at all departments" surprised them.
aud brought them to the belief that they had
better go back to work, but it was too late.
Mrs. Davidson, the managers wife, helped
the few non strikers to bank the furnace on
Saturday and now over three hundred men

In the joint debate between the
rival candidates for Governor, at Ada,
Ohio, last Thursday, Mr.. Mckinley
said:
The Governor saws we pay the tax. Ii we
do, why, L ask, is England making such a
fuss about our tariffs? daughter and ap-
plause.l Why is Germany crying out against
the new tariff law If we pay all the tariff?
IApplause.l II you want TO know who pays
the tux ask the Canadian farmer who brings
his wheat to Erie county-Buffalo, n. Y.
The Erie county farmer takes his there, too.
They meet at the same market place. The
Erie county farmer takes 80 cents home
with him; the Canadian farmer takes 90c.
less 25c-the American tariff. They say tar
If is tax and the Governor cites a nhmber
of things 10 show that we pay the tax.
Great God must you have chart to tell a
man: [Great laughter.l A chart to poin,
out your poverty in the midst of plenty and
prosperity? Who pays the tax?
1t is such demagOgery as this that
makes the average citizen lose faith in
the integrity of his neighbor when that
neighbor becomes what is popularity
termed politician. Certainly, if the
Canadian farmer should bring his
wheat into the United States and sell
it for ninety cents bushel, after pay
ing tariff of twenty five cents, when
he can ship it to Liverpool and sell it
for ninety cents, or more, net, he
would need guardian, and get one
on the score of being n first-class i'm
beetle. On the very day that Mr.. Nc
Kinley was talking to his audience,
wheat was selling in Liverpool at 81 Is
per bushel. This, of course, included
cost of transportation, commissions
and charges, but after all these were
paid, enough was left to net the farm
er here or in Canada at least ninety
cents bushel. If, with an open mar
ket at ninety cents, the Canadian
farmer would prefer one that he has to
pry open with quarter of dollar
for each bushel of wheat he has to sell,
then of course he would pay the tax.
He could also throw his whole crop

The veteran editor, DIR. d. r. Me
Anally, who, has been in religious
Journalism for half a century, has just
returned to this city, says last Satur-
days GtJbe Democrat, after a ten
days visit to his native East Tennes-
see. Exactly forty years ago this
month, he left Tennessee at the COM
mand of his Bishop, to come to Mis-
souri, and take charge of a church
paper in this city, and with the ex-
ception of one or two short visits, he
had seen nothing of the men with
whom his younger days had been
passed. The HolstOn Conference,
with which lie connected himself six
ty-twO years ago, was this year con-
vened at Chattanooga, September %,
and the main purpose of DR.. Mean
aly's journey to Tennessee was to at
tend the sessions of this body. In
some respects the meeting was sad, for
of the $50 men who were his fellows
in 1929, not one survived, and indeed
few were living even of those who be-
1onged to the Conference when he left
it in 1851. The sessions of the Confer
ence lasted during one week, and in
spite of the intense heat which pre-
vailed, were largely attended. The
sermon usual at the ordination of ell
ders was preached by DR.. McAnnally,
and the Conference passed resolutions
expressing the qualification of the
members at his presence. After leav-
ing Chattanooga he spent some days
in Knoxville, where, for eight years,
he presided over the State Female
Institute, and during his short stay
was visited and congratulated by
scores of old friends. His friends will
be pleased to learn that his health
was greatly improved by the visit.
