REMARKABLE GROWTH
OF Salem, "The Queen City of tho soutk-
west.'

OF Salem, "The Queen City of tho soutk-
west"
Tho Salem Improvement Company,
the most successful organization of its
kind in Virginia, had its first sale of lots
December IL, 1889. Since that time the
growth of Salem has been marvellous.
About 400 houses have been built; ST.
100000 spent in buildings and improve
mentS; tho population nearly doubled,
and tho business of tho postofiice and
telegraph office increased 500 per cent.
The iron furnace about to go into blast,
the factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure the doubling of the
present population of 1000 in another
year.
Negotiations are nearly closed for ad-
ditional plants to employ several thou
sand hands, and the land companies,
with an aggregate capital stock of ST.
600, 900, have voted liberal sums for new
industries. A cotton factory and q
WOODEN mill (nearly completely that will
manufacture its goods into clothing,
will employ large number of females
The early extension of tho Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail
way center, and hasten it's growth into
large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be tho great industrial
center of Virginia.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may well be proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location, it's
healthful climate, its refined society, it's
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
place of residence, it now offers I'M
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever cqualled Salcm's
record OF progress for the last twelve
menths. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly cstab-
lished on solid industrial basis
This property adjoins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
erty, it will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Limo to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and tho town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue, which has been we'll graded and
macadamlzed at 4 cost of So only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
On it, the Hotel Salem, costing S65,-
600, exclusive of the land or furniture,
is under roof. the Improvement Com
pany's bank and Office building-50 by
so feet, three storics-is nearly ready
for occupancy, and number of large
business houses are in course of cree
ton. This avenue is sure to become
one OF the finest business thoroughfarcs
in Virginia.

1t is not generally known that the bell
boys at the first class hotels make more
money than mechanics, while the earnings
of some Of them will far exceed those Of
many professional men. The pay Is small,
seldom amounting TO over twenty or
twenty-five dollars month and board,
but the tips are what count There is one
bellboy, or rather bellman, for he is over
thirty years Of age, who has been at the
Fifth Avenue hotel for years. He says
himself that his income is a good 500
month, in addition TO which be gets his
meals at the hotel.
"A bellboy, to be successful, has to re
member several things" remarked this
party the other night. For one thing, he
needs to be polite and respectful, but never
familiar. Further than that, he must be
careful in his dress. A slovenly or poorly
dressed bellboy will disgust the fastidious
patrons Of the house, who are our chief
standbys. On the other hand, it does not
do to be too stylishly dressed, as then the
guest will imagine that the boy is so well
fixed that he would scorn to receive tip
Attention 10 these two rules will generally
bring success 70 a bright bellboy. New

When Captain Alva Bradley was twenty
years old he heard of circus at Elyria and
desired to 20. Money was scarce, but the
temptation was SO very strong that young
Alva determined to 20 if he had to walk
all the way. He went by a tie pass, but
when he reached his Mecca he found the
admission to be fifty cents, and he had
twenty-five. He was too big to be adj
mitted as boy and too proud to sneak his
way in, so he stood outside disconsc otely
and looked at the flaming posters prouigal-
ly displayed about the grounds. While
walking aimlessly about he was found by
an old farmer, neighbor of his at home.
''Well. Alvy, my boy, " said the farmer,
faint you going INF"
mop" be answered, 81 just came to look
at the pictures"
But the old man was lonesome and
wanted company, and on that plea sue
ceeded in inducing the young man to enter
the enchanted place. So "Alvy" saw the
show aud carried his quarter back home
with him.
Long afterward, one winter evening,
when the boy Alva had grown to be
wealthy shipping merchant, he sat in his
study in deep conversation with Captain
Stone. The door bell rang and the servant
admitted to their presence an old, white
haired, stoop shouldered man.
81 wanted 70 see my boy Alvy once
again. he began, but you don't know
me. do you, boy: you don't remember the
old man who took You TO the circus oncew
The tears came TO the captains eyes as
he recognized in the aged man the kind
benefactor Of his youth He extended TO
him a cordial welcome, and they sat to
gether all the evening reviewing the years
since last they met, for fortune had not
been kind to the old man; his home had
been removed to the far west and be had
found it hard struggle to get the neces-
saries of life. As be was about TO leave an
envelope was thrust into his hands and he
heard the words in the captains trembling
voice, Heres the money you took me TO
the circus with when was a boy, and
little more as interest which 1t has gath
cred all these years"
The old man was overcome with surprise
and could not express his thanks, but
when he reached home he opened the paper
and found il contained check for 500
fifty cents for the circus ticket and the rest
for interest.-Cleveland Plaindealer.

story Of a Dog Mother.

One Of the most pathetic incidents to be
read in dog biography is given by DIR. Dio
Lewis in his Life" He was travelling in
the west and came TO a ranch, the owner Of
which showed him a shepherd dog which he
said he would not sell for $500. She had at
that time four young puppies. While they
were admiring the little mother and her
babies on the night OF their arrival, the
assistant herder came in TO say that there
were more than twenty sheep missing
Two male dogs, both larger than the lit
tie mother, were standing about, but the
herder said neither Tom nor Dick would
find them; Flora must 60 1t was u-ged
by the assistant that her foot was sore,
that she had been hard at work ali day,
was nearly worn out aud must give her
puppies their supper The master insisted
that she must 70.
The sun was setting and there was no
time 10 lose. Flora was called aud told to
hunt for lost sheep, while her master
pointed TO the great forest through the
edge Of which they had Just passed. She
raised her head, but seemed very loath to
leave her babies. The MUSTER called sharp
ly to her. She rose, looked tired and low
spirited, and with head and tail down trot-
tctl NfdIlil pit toNdfu tue lbicSl.
THAT is too bad, " said l.
"Oh, she'll be right back. p was the as
sured answer. 'She's lightning on stray
sheep"
The next morning went over TO learn
whether Flora had found the strays.
While we were speaking, the sheep re-
turned, driven by the little dog, who did
not raise her head nor wag her tail. even
when spoken to. but crawled to her pup
pies and lay down by them. She had been
out all night, and scarcely able to notice
her babies, she fell asleep.
How often that scene comes back TO mel
The vast, gloomy forest, and that little
creature with the sore foot and her heart
crying for her babies, limping and creep
ing about in the wild canyon, all through
the long, dark hours, finding and gather
ing in the lost sheep.
