COLLEGE AVENUE.
What a Walk Down SaIem's
Broadway Reveals.
THE ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.

A more magnificent avenue, and one
more handsomely set off by splendid
and costly structures can not be found in
any OF the booming cities of Virginia
than College avenue, of Salem.
The passenger who alights from the
Norfolk and Western train at the new
passenger depot, which is on this ave-
nue., and which was built at cost of
$4,000, is wonder-struck at the beauty
of this avenue. 1t is macadamized all
the way from the depot to Main street,
a distance of about one mile, besides
being nicely paved with brick the
greater part of the way.
A hundred yards above the depot is
the two-story brick store of Baxter &
Logan, built at cost of about So, 500.
The new Hotel Salem, now nearing
completion, is the next building, and is
by far the most imposing of any of the
new buildings of the city. 1t was built
at cost of SOS, 900, and is master
piece of architectural skill. Many
visitors have said that it is the hand
soonest hotel they have seen in Virginia.
1t is five stories high. The hotel will
probably be opened next April.
This splendid hostelry was built by
the Salem Hotel Company, composed of
the following gentlemen: r. II. Logan,
+. j. Chapman, j. d. Logan, j. G. Lang
horne and John III. Palmer.
The next handsomest structure on
College avenue is the Bank of Virginia
building, built by tie Salem Improve
ment Company at cost of $4,000. On
the first floor is the bank and also a
commodious storeroom. The bank coun-
tiers are now being put in, and the bank
will open probably on the first of April.
A short distance above the bank build
ing is the two story double brick store
now being built by Pope s. Bear, and
which will cost upon completion $4,000.
Diagonally across the street from this
building is the $4,000 two story double
brick store belonging to James Mont
gomery, which is nearing completion,
and whose front is now receiving an at
tractive coat Of paint
The next store on the left hand side
of the street going up is that of r. II.
Carper, double brick, two-story struct-
nre, built at cost of about $1,000. 1t
is now occupied by r. III. Carper.
plumber, and Burns & Mendenhall, fur
niture dealers.
The next store is that of s. Landy,
clothier, which is two stories high and
cost 81, 200.
Above this Duncan & Cumpston have
their large dry goods and notion store
occupying both apartments of the build
ing, which cost 900.
The last of the new stores is that of
billiard Sc Persingers which will be &C.
cupied by the dry goods and notion firm
of j. Y. Phifer & Co., and by tho gen
eral furnishing store of Hunton,& San
ders. The store cost $4,000.
Tho total aynanAnd
ten buildings above mentioned is $780,
600. All Of it has been spent in the last
year. Twelve months ago not brick
had been laid on this avenue.
Outside of the new depot the buildings
represent an expenditure OF 100000.
The avenue gets it's name from Roa-
noke College, and comes to an end in
front of the shady grove of the college
campus.

Meersclaum Pipes. viollns and Poems

Meerschaum Pipes, Tiolins and Poems.
Certain things are good for nothing
until they have been kept a long while.
and some are good for nothing until
they have been long kept and used. Of
the first wine is the illustrious and inn

kept and used / will name three-meer-

meerschaum is but poor affair. until it
has burned a thousand offerings to the

Violins, too-the sweet old Amatii-
the divine Stradivarius! Stained, like
the meerschau1n, through and through
with the concentrated hue and sweetness
of all the harmonies which have kindled
and faded on its strings.

and used like meerschaum or violin.
A poem Is just as porous as the meer-
schaum; the more porous it is the better.
mean to say that a genuine poem is
capable of absorbing an indefinite
amount of the essence of our own human
ity, its tenderness, its heroism, its re-
grets, its aspirations, SO as to be gradu-
ally stained through with a divine sec
ondary color derived from ourselves

THE VALE OF ROSES.
Somewhere hid in lands of sun.

Somewhere hid in lands of sun,
Lies the Vale of Roses;
Where or golden seasons spun,
The golden year uncloses.
Between the rose flushed peaks and skiel
The hidden valley hidden lies.
And happy he whose mortal eyes
Shall see the Vale of Roses.
Seaward from the mountains high.
Slopes the Vale of Roses;
Lazy sails go drifting by
Where the vista closes.
Never stormy wind may roar
Round the placid lower shore
Silence reigns for evermore
In the Vale of Roses.
Long dim aisles of roses shine
Up the Vale of Roses;
Scarlet flowers load the vine,
Where the palm reposes.
OFT the Persian minstrel f1ings
Wilder music on his strings,
AS upon the plains he sings
OF the Vale of Roses.
Sweet the story is to hear
OF the Vale of Roses;
But the heart that holds it dear
On its secret closes. :,
Not to eastern lands alone
Is the tabled valley known
Every cline has for its own
Some fair Vale of Roses.
Heights that lie just out of reach
These are Wales of Roses;
Longing never set in speech
In each heart reposes.
Every soul its vale has sought,
Ghmpses of its beauty caught,
And is nobler for the thought
OF the Vale of Roses.
