SALEM ADVERTISEMENTS.
SALEM ADV ERTISEMENTS.
REMARKABLE GROWTH
Of Salem, 1.-THE Queen City of
the Southwest" in One Wear.

The Salem improvement Company,
tho most successful organization of it's
kind in Virginia, had its first sale of lots
December IL, 1880. Since that time the
growth of Salem has been marvellous.
About 400 houses have been built; ST.
100000 spent in buildings and improve
ments; the population nearly doubled,
and the business OF the postoffice and
telegraph Office increased 500 per cent.
The iron furnace about to GO into blast,
tho factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure the doubling of the
present population of 1000 in another
year. Among the industries recently
secured are rolling mill from Cincin-
natl, the Olean Speed Cart Works from
Olcan, N. y, and wire nail works from
Parkersburg, w. Va.
Negotiations are in progress for ad-
ditional plants to employ large num-
Der of hands, and the land companies,
with an aggregate capital stock of
84,000,000, have voted liberal sums
for new industries. A wooden
mill NEARLY completely that will
manufacture its goods into clothing,
will employ large number of females.
The early extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
20 Salem VIII make IL an important rail-
way center, and hasten its growth into
q large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center of Virginia.
The proximity of the great Flat Top
coal fields, the cheapness Of the famous
Pocahontas coal and coke, the abundant
supply of iron ore, timber, and other
raw materials, make Salem an advan-
tageous point for manufactures.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may we'll be proud OF
its SUI passingly beautiful location, its
healthful climate, it's refined society, its
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
a place of residence. it now offers un
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town IL
Virginia has ever equalled Salem.
record of progress for the last twelve
months. The stage Of experiment /.
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab
iished on a solid industrial basis.

ment Company adjoins the old town ant

THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Judge Blair to Convene Court
April First.
THE ROANOKE TINES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.


The TIMES correspondent yesterday
heard one of tho most prominent mem
bers of the Salem bar say: "Shepherd
has not only obtained new trial, but
to my thinking his liberty also. don't
See how man tried on an incorrect in
dietment can be tried again. Our
law provides that man shall not be
tried twice for the same otfense."
The April term of the Circuit Court
will convene in Salem on the first of
April, Judge III. w. Blair presiding.
Among the. cases to come arc those
formerly described in THE TIMES, Rosa
B. Yopp vs.. Peter Yopp, for a divorce,
sued for on the grounds of cruelty and
desertion Mary Woodson, the colored
woman who sues the executors of the
claimed as having been promised her by
Mr.. Utz, her master, before he died !;
the case of j. Bealle vs.. f. w. Atkins
and C. d. Strause.
This will be quite an interesting case,
and is in regard to the ownership of
land formerly belonging to the Queen
City Land company. Last March Chip
man, Massie &c Co., land agents, sold
the property in question to Mr.. Beall,
under five days option, and at the
same time Mr.. Atkins, the owner, sold
the property to c. i. Strouse & Co. The
plaintiff and the defendant both claim
the title to the land. Mr.. Atkins will
be represented by Major Ballard and
Mr.. Strouse by Mr.. Montgomery.
1t is expected that a large number of
mechanics liens will be enforced at this
court.
