time in building up quite an extern
sive trade, and are considered the
leading merchants in their line in
Northern Virginia

IMMENSE WATER SUPPLY,
ALEXANDRIA HAS THE BEST WATER Of
ANY CITY.
Prescriptions are Filled Without tering the
Water Chemists Send from All Parts OF
the State, and from Washington for It,

Alexandria is abundantly supplied
with the best and purest water OF
any city in the country.
This is proven by the fact that
chemists from a distance send here
to get water, desiring the purest
that can be found for their purpose.
The city is supplied by two large
reseryoils-one ten times larger than
the other, which is kept as a reserve
III case of protracted drouth.
Pipes from these reservoirs grid
iron the streets in every direction,
and the rents are uniform and
reasonable, thus placing the convent
ence withinrreach Of every one.
The reservoirs and water works
are situated on an eminence about
one mile west of the city; and West
End, a suburb of Alexandria enjoys
the benefit of the water supply IN
common with Alexandria.
There has been no such thing as q
scarcity of water hereabouts for
twenty years, or about the time the
new reservoir was constructed.

Steam, the reel, the automatic decker,

the processes OF mixing the dough,

The retail trade of Alexandria has
ever been large.
1t is scattered over large area
nearly one-third greater than it was
twenty-five years ago.
All Fairfax and large part OF
Alexandria counties make this city
their post-otfice and purchasing
depot.
The opposite Maryland country
contributes no little toward this
branch of trade, and communication
is kept up between the two states by
steamers. and other boats.
The people residing on the large
tract of country all around us natur-
ally come to Alexandria for supplies,
and in cases of emergency they find
this city exceedingly handy.
There is room for greater expan,
sion of the retail trade and of late
wears our merchants have shown
considerable enterprise in this
branch.

NEW SHORT LINE TO FLORIDA.
The DAVIDSON x HOUSE Co.
C. \. DAVIDSON, Treas

Railway companies having Florida
connections, the travelling public
generally, and especially orange and
vegetable growers throughout the
State of Florida, are very much III
terested in the new short line how
under construction between Savannah
and Jacksonville, by the Florida
Central and Peninsula Railway
Company, which is under contract
to be completed October l, 1888.
This company having acquired con
troll of the South Bound Railroad
between Columbia and Savannah,
gives them a continuous line, under
one management, between Columbia,
Savannah. Jacksonville and Tampa,
which, in connection with the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad from
Washington, via Danyille and Char
lotte to Columbia, comprises the
shortest line between Eastern cities
and all points in Florida and will
greatly reduce the present schedule
time.
This reduction in time is a matter
of the greatest Importance to the
large orange and vegetable industry
of the State of Florida, and shippers
and growers are anticipating a con
siderable increase in this business
during the coming winter The
Richmond and Danviile Railroad and
its ally, the Florida Central and
Peninsula Railway, therefore, as soon
as the line between Savannah and
Jacksonville is completed, will make
the schedules of not only express
but freight trains so much shorter
than that of other routes now hand
ling this business that a great I'M
petus will be given to passenger
travel and to the important and
lucrative industries of orange and
vegetable growing, besides contribut-
ing largely to the comfort of the
thousands of tourists and invalids
who are accustomed to pass the cold
months in the delightful winter
climate of the Crocodile State.
