Low Moor Inn.

Mr.. j. r. Wilson is in charge of the
hotel erected on the property of the Al
leghany Mining and Development Com
pany. The house has not been fur
nished yet, but to comply with the de-
mand for accommodations, Mr.. Wilson
has prepared half dozen rooms, which
are occupied. Arrangements will be
made, before the spring opens, to fur
nish the house in an economical and I'M
pretentious way to meet such demands
as may be made on it. 1t is very neat
and conveniently arranged hotel, with
water piped through the building, bath
rooms and water closets complete. The
Inn is elegantly located, and COM
mands an attractive and picturesque
stretch of country. The alum water on
this property is being ING uired after. 1t
is said it is an almost certain cure for in
digestion and dyspepsia. The chalybe-
ate and freestone waters on the proper
ty, the latter piped to the house, will
add greatly to the advantages of the
place as a summer resort.

A Bright Outlook.

The indications at this time are that
with the opening of the spring there
will be the greatest building boom in
Clifton Forge which the town has ever
witnessed. Buildings, especially resi-
dence properties, are in constant and
growing demand, and we hear of builds
ings in contemplation in all directions.
The few spring-like days we have had
have set people to thinking of their
plans, and furnish an index of the ac>
tivity which will prevail when spring
comes in earnest. Building has really
not ceased during the winter, but there
has been lHll, of course, and when good
weather sets, (mark the prediction), the
sound of the hammer and saw will be
heard on all sides.

Valley Railroad Extension.

The Richmond Times says that ''the
object of Senator Walton, of Shenan-
doah, in offering to the Senate last week
his resolution directing the committee
on roads to ascertain and report whether
the Valley Railroad Company has lost
its charter privileges, was to induce that
company to complete its proposed ex-
tension to Salem. If SO intended the
line would connect at that point with
the Norfolk and Western. The resolu>
ton did not pass the Senate last week,
but went over at the request of several
senators. Mr.. Walton says the people
of the Valley are anxious for the com
pany to prosecute the work on the pro-
posed extension. Under the present
circumstances others who might possibly
desire to do SO are prevented from con-
structing a parallel line covering the
same route.''

Change of Firm.

We direct attention to the dissolution
of the firm of Eaton & Morris, and the
new advertisement of Mr.. G. w. Ee.ton,
the successor to the old firm. It's hardly
necessary for us to say word for MI.
Eaton to those who know him. He is
one of the most popular young business
men of Clifton Forge. and besides, is a
first class druggist. His popularity and
fair dealing is sure to win for him good
share Of the public patronage of this
section, which we bespeak for him.
Mr. o. c. Morris, the retiring member
of the firm, who is well and favorably
known here, will return to railroad work,
having been appointed agent at the
depot here.

Salem and Craig Railroad

The citizens of Roanoke are moving
actively in the organization of the Sa-
lem and Craig Railroad Company. Gen
eral enthusiasm exists, and it is believed
there will be ample subscriptions re-
ceived to proceed with the organization
at once. A notable feature is that the
colored men are Offering, in large num-
bers, to devote a certain amount of La
Dor free towards it's construction. The
farmers are subscribing rights of way,
and other evidences of encouragement
are mentioned. The road will penetrate
the rich ore fields of Craig, and cons
mand large traffic in timber, bark, and
farm products, as well as minerals

The third popular excursion to Wash>

Wheeling, Parkersburg, Lexington, and
intermediate stations to Washington
Junction, Md, is announced for Thurs
day, February 18th. The popularity of
these winter trips to the National Capi>
tai via B. & O. is due to the exceedingly
low rates, the excellence of the train SER
vice, with Pullman accommodations,
and to the fact the b. & O. is the shortest
route.
The journey is delightful as we'll as in
structive, while in Washington are more
interesting sights than in any other
American city. The museums, the art
galleries, the White House, the public
buildings-to all of which admission is
free-are attractions at all times APP
preciated.
Tickets are good for ten days, affording

Dnnhle Tracking.

The work Of double tracking the Ches-

Moor to Coyington is progressing favor
ably. That portion of the work next
to Covington, for which W. A. Rinehart

ting along finely. The heavy work near
Low Moor, by Gooch and associates IS
being pushed with energy, as is the en-
tire line between the two points named.

also in good condition.

preach but once more at this place until
after the annual conference. The gen
crafty of the people here are anxious for
him to be sent back to Elkton circuit for
another year. They have a right to wish
him back, for he is a lively, energetic
preacher. The people have been bored
by dry, juiceless, prosy preachers in
years past, and they do not want any
change for fear they might have to
swallow some more dry uncoated ''gos>

well enough alone and assign the Rev.
