Roanoke has a population of $4,000.
It's citizens are from nearly every State
in tho Union. Eight years ago it had
600 people. Its growth at present is on
a moro solid basis and more rapid than
ever before in its history.
Roanoke is located at the junction OF
the Shenandoah and Roanoke valleys.
It's altitude is 007 feet and it is sur
rounded by rich agricultural and min
eral country.
Roanoke is distant just eight hours
ride from Washington and Norfolk, nine
from Baltimore, twelve from Philadel-
phia and fourteen from New York. 1t
is situated at the junction of the Shen-
ern railroads, both trunk lines, and is
easily reached from any section of the
country.
The Roanoke and Southern railroad
is now being built to this place from
Winston, N. c., and will in years
time open up the trade of the Carolinas
to this section. The Valley Branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio runs to Licking
ton, forty miles distant and road filling
the connecting link will be constructed
to Roanoke in q short time.
The growth of the city dates from
1882, when tho headquarters of the Nor
folk and Western were removed here
from Lynchburg, the Shenandoah Val
ley road was completed, and the Roam
oke Machine Works. employing at pre-
sent ], ZOO hands, was established. Since
then millions of dollars have flowed
into the city in tho establishment OF
manufactures and other business enter
prises.
Coal and iron and tho rich agricul-
tural lands of the section have con-
tributed to the growth.
Roanoke has sixty-iive miles of streets
and eight miles of street railway inside
the corporate limits. A dummy line ex.
tends to Vinton, a distance of two miles
east, and to Salem, six miles west
Throughout the city electricity, in a
short time, will take the place of horses
as motive power.
The water works are sufficient to fur
nish city of $4,000 inhabitants. The
supply comes from pure, cold spring
that gushes from the side of Mill noun
tain, and is without equal in any city
in the country. 1t Is undoubtedly
specific for many forms Of kidney dis
ease.
Light Is furnished by tho Gas Com
pany and the Electric Light and Moto
Power Company.

the assessment of this year, is nearl,
