Try. Many reasons could be urged
in substantiation of this assertion,
but a few only will be cited at this
time; enough, however, to convince
any one who will soberly weigh our
city S advantages in point of location,
healthfulness and pleasantness.
The citys central situation has
often shown-its proximity to great
centres, the ease and rapidity with
which one could pass from Alexan-
dria to Washington, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia and New York-and plausi-
BILE reasons given why Alexandria
should and surely would grow into
Importance in the near future. But
apart from its bright prospects of
becoming a manufacturing and COM
mercial centre, the fact that it is
peculiarly adapted to those seeking
comfortable homes should not be
ignored, and now while the cost OF
living is becoming matter of seri-
Gus consequence to many in our
larger and over grown neighboring
cities, parties are turning toward all
points of the compass in quest OF
localities not too far removed from
the great centres where they can en-,

DANIEL HENRY'S THEATRE.

Mr.. Daniel Henry, the well-known
proprietor of the Henry House, cor
ner of Fairfax and Princess streets,
has completed a handsome addition
to his property on the Fairfax street
front, to be utilized as a theatre and
concert hall. The new building has
a frontage of thirty-fve feet and ex-
tends back one hundred and ten feet.
The hall is well constructed and has
an excellent ventilation, and being on
the ground floor, affords ample means
Of exit in the event of fire. At the
east end of the hall is a stage 35 feet
by 80, on the north side of which are
spacious dressing rooms, toilet rooms,
&c. The scenery painted at the back
of the stage is finely executed, and
the drop curtain, representing a scene
at Kinsale light house, on the coast
of Ireland, is fine work of art. The
stage in all its parts is well adapted
to the uses of the hall, and is thanked
on either side by neatly arranged
private boxes. The hall has seating
capacity for five hundred persons,
and is provided with chairs, settees,
&c, and is well Lighted by numerous
gas brackets. In the orchestra is a
fine rosewood piano, which was the
nroperty of Mr.. Jackson and was In
the Marshall House at the time Els
worth was shot down by Mr.. Jackson
for tearing the Confederate flag from
that building. 1t is the intention OF
Mr.. Henry to give a grand opening,
The hall will be engaged to various
companies who may be con the road,
and at other times be used by Mr..
Henry for concerts, &c. This new
enterprise is a valuable and handsome
addition to the wants of the city, and
has been erected at much expense to
the proprietor, and there is no doubt
the public will reward his efforts to
please by the bestowal of a liberal
patronage, as he is determined that
" Henry's Theatre" shall be success.

terms. Here are brick and lumber
yards, saw mills and mechanics, the
two former ready to furnish the
material at prices much more mod
crate than those in hundreds of other
places, and the latter ready at mod
crate compensation to erect in a
workmanlike manner anything in the
way of plain, substantial or palatial
architecture.
1t has long since passed into a
proverb that Alexandria, for some
unaccountable reason, escapes most
of the dire dispensations Of Proyi-
dence. Epidemics are extremely
rare; hurricanes, cyclones or any of
the other terrible commissions of
nature are unknown hereabouts; the
storms which annually sweep over
the country are mercifully tempered
or considerably spent when they
reach this neighborhood, and such
signal exemption is often commented
on and furnishes a theme for thanks
giving from the more thoughtful.
Besides, health abounds here-people
living to enjoy ripe old age, said to
be due in part to the superior ex-
cellence and purity of Alexandria

All who may act on the hints given
above will find those who have lots

situation of Alexandria, being now
the focal point OF four Or five railroads
and possessing the best natural ship
ping facilities, is sure to attract the
attention of the business people. Be-
sides, as is known, movements for
making the city large coal shipping
station are being vigorously pushed,
and it is confidently predicted that
in short period cars direct from the
mines will be running into Alexandria.
in which event the city will gain
much more than it has lost by the
collapse of the canal.
The country to the west and south
of Alexandria is rich in metals, coal,
timber, and everything else needed
in manufacturing, and half dozen
railroads leading from the sources of
such supplies traverse our streets
and have their tracks extended to
the ends of our wharves, and the en-
pansion of our shipping trade is
merely matter of time.
Let US take survey of the railroad
facilities offered by Alexandria.
Attention has been directed to the
fact that her central location alone is
destined to make Alexandria promi-
nent as soon as her advantages are
better understood, for, as has been
said, we live in a moving age, day
when people pass to and fro, and the
facilities for travel are such that a
trip to New Orleans or Florida is re-
garded as matter of little import,
ance, while few years ago such a
Journey was weighed as seriously as
trip to Sitka now is. Trains pass
through Alexandria daily for every
section of the country, and there is
no conceivable place in North America
that is not accessible to Alexandra
by rail.
We have the best railroad facilities,
superb river and bay, hotilla and
telephone stations throughout the
city with connections with Washing
ton, Baltimore, and for fifty miles to
the west of us in Virginia. A line is
now in operation between this city
and Mount Vernon, in conjunction
with the one now running through
Fauquier and other counties. We
are literally within speaking distance
of large purchasing communities, and
may reasonably look for large share
of their trade Our streets are better
lighted than any in the country; our
fire department is composed OF
modern steam engines, and com

having an opportunity of spending
the greater part of the day where his
business interests lie. Of course
living in Alexandria and conducting
business in Washington is just as
easy as living in Georgetown and
prosecuting avocations on Seventh
Street and Pennsylvania avenue.
It is not so much to the active
business men, however, that this
article is directed, though We, Of
course, invite their attention too;
but it is the artisan, the clerk and
toilers at the thousand and one avo-
cations of life whose interests, we
believe, would be enhanced if they
dwelt here where an ordinary me-
chanic can in few years own home
of his own by paying monthly about
one-half the amount he is compelled
to pay in the way of rent in larger
cities. There are thousands of house
holders in Alexandria to-day thanks
to our system of building associa-
tions) who, had they lived in more
pretentious places, would barely have
been able to meet the monthly de-
mands of inezorable landlords. Here
every man, be he in any way frugal,
has an opportunity to become the
owner of his own house-a privilege
denied him in cities where ground
sells by the spoonful,

N. LINDSEY & CO.,
Wholesale Grocers and Flour Mer-
chants, Nos, s, s. 10 King Street.

The importance of Alexandria as
a great and thriving commercial cen
tire is abundantly demonstrated by a
review of the leading representatives
of the various branches of trade.
At the head of the wholesale grocery
trade stands the old-established and
influential house of Messrs. N. Lind
sey & Co, whose premises are SO
centrally located at Nos. 6, 8 and 10
King street. The business was
founded in 1869, and for many years
thereafter was carried on by Mr..
Lindsey in copartnership with his
brother. The latter finally retired
in 1885, since when Mr.. Lindsey has
continued as sole sroprietor He
occupies the Exchange Building, in
which the business has been con-
Quoted since 1872 1t is fine three
story structure, 10 10 feet in di
mansions, and fully stocked with the
choicest of staple groceries, flour,
etc. For storage of stock he has
capacious three-story warehouse on
the wharf, and where he always car
ries heavy stock of flour, meal, fish,
provisions, etc. Mr.. Lindsey has
achieved an enviable reputation for
handling only the best qualities of
groceries, and laying in such large
quantities direct from producers and
manufacturers, he is prepared to offer
substantial inducements to the trade.
He is proprietor of those Justly cele-
brated brands of hour-"Wife's
Pride" and Golden Eagle" and
which have the preference with the
public all through Maryland, Vir-
ginia, and also in the District of Co
lumbia. The choicest growth of
wheat only are allowed to go into
the mill to produce these brands,
and under the guarantee of such a
responsible house as this, consumers
can always rely on getting the best.
Here is headquarters for the highest
grades of sugars and molasses, fresh
crop teas, select coffees, strong and
pure spices, salt, etc; fish, smoked
meats, etc, etc. Mr.. Lindsey is

conclusion, we cordially commend
