is but natural that there is a steady
increase in the population of the
town. And then the superior rail
road facilities between the two cities !;
local trains are running every hour
in both directions, which make the
run in twenty minutes, besides the
through trains, which enables one to
make trip between the two cities at
almost any hour in the day. Right
here may be mentioned the convenient
and cheap communication rates be

At Alexandria can be purchased
tickets over the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and its connections to all points
in the South, East, and North.
1t should be remembered by all
who intend to locate at or near Alex
andria, that the Pennsylvania Rail
road offers complete facilities for the
transporting of passengers and
freight.

Another enterprise of this firm is
their fish curing and packing estab-

Potomac river; they receive the pro-

sometimes the fish are alive when

the labor of loading and unloading

was to be extended from Manassas

andria to this point, where a large
depot was to be built, and the trade
of the Valley Of Virginia was to reach
tidewater by this route. After rails

ing the road to a point just south OF
our cemeteries, for some reason best
known to themselves, work was sus-
