This Enterprising Town Wants Lots of
Space-Other Notes OF Interest.


Space-Other Notes of Interest.
BUENA VISTA, March 31.-Buena
Vista is very much interested in the
call issued from Roanoke for 3 meeting
on the 10th to organize the proposed ex-
position for next fay. The enterprise
is regarded here IS not only feasible and
timely but also very important, and
german to the best interests of this
section. 1t is entirely possible for the
Valley and Southwest Virginia to mako
q very extensive and creditable display
IL the business men take hold of the
scheme in good earnest, and the result
viii, be that public attention from
abroad will be directed to the fine OPP
portunities for investment, which are
lying around loose on all sides.
Yes, sir, Buena Vista will be repre-
sented at the meeting, and she will
claim no inconspisuous place. She
leads all the younger towns Of the State,
and is likely to keep we'll to tho front
If the exposition materializes she will
take lots Of space and fill it with the
evidences OF her progress and prosperity.
Our city enjoyed an unusually fine
social entertainment this week in the
shape Of century party at the resi-
dence Of Mrs. c. 3 Guyer. The cos
tunes were hundred years old in style,
and some OF them were that old in
reality, ono or two in particular having
been worn in old colonial times by the
great grandmothers Of the present CAV
generation.

organization reported in last weeks

Considerable comment of various
nature has been excited among our cit
liens by the Presidents veto of
the Bland bill. While some Demo.
Gratis arc willing to acquiesce in any
thing Grover does or leaves undone,
others arc disposed to denounce his
policy, and hold him responsible for the
grave divisions IN the party. Every
body admires his courage, but there are
considerable number who seem to re-
gard 1t as the courage of the bull that
tried to butt the approaching train from
the track. In the bulls case it was
dismal failure, but Grover seems to have
got his train in the ditch At any rate
he soams to be boss of the track at this
