belief that Norfolk, with all her God
given advantages, is destined to be
the great seaport city OF the South,
and we are awaiting the cousumma.

reason is to be found in the fact
that on salary of $1,000 day a

The Philadelphia Times speaks
truly when it says 1.-the South's
future is its own" and to very
great extent it will be what We make
it. The Southern people certainly
have the advantage. and if properly
embraced, there is no telling what
they In time will accomplish. "The
New South" says our contempor.
airy, continues to gain and grow at
at the expense of the North, and
marvellous change is noted in almost
every commonwealth.
1t is gratifying to know that the
South, not The new South, nor the
old South, but the South pure and
simple. is advancing in population.
prosperity and development. 1t is
no fault OF the South, however, that
lhis Is being done at the expense of
the North. The devcl opment OF its
industrial enterprises, especially in
iron manufactures and mills, it is
true, has been hurtful to similar en-.
terprises in the North, aud it is
simply their misfortune. 1t will be
remembered how Justify the North.

becoming an active competitor in
the output of Iron or in the manu-.

1t will also be remembered the
thousand and one obstacles which the
South had to surmount before il
could make any head way. But ali
this has been changed. The South's
output OF iron has been remarkable

acknowledged frankly that it is no

My DEAR S1R:-I have received q
copy of HE VIEGINTAN containing q
review OF the business OF Norfolk
city and interesting data showing its
marvellous growth and increasing
prosperity. Permit me to cougrutu-
late you upon the commendable
spirit OF enterprise You have ex-
hlblted. AS former resident of
Norfolk, l shall always cherish the
iondest recollectlons of tho uniform
kindness shown by her people to me
personally, and can never cease to
feel deep aud abiding interest in
her prosperity and welfare.
Alter an absence of several months
it was my privilege and pleasure to
revisit Norfolk recently during tho
Christmas holidays, and it is no ex
aggeration TO say that | was pro-
foundly impressed with the uumis.
taxable signs OF progress and i'm
provement everywhere apparent.
Nothing Is now needed to render
the future OF Norfolk secure but
enrnest effort and bnrmonlous co.
operation on the part of her people.
\ beneticent Providence has lavish.
ed upon her advantages such as are
possessed by no other city in this
highly favored land. Her climate
Is unsurpassed, her tributary waters
are unequalled; her harbor the finest
ON the coast; her back country
abounds IN uudeveloped treasures
OF soil and mine aud forest aud
river.
In addition to these great natural
advantages, it may be truly said
that her people have, during the
last few years, exhibited extraor-
binary pluck and energy in every
prahch oil industry, and III every de.
partment of trade. Instead of cal
ling on Hercules for help, they have
| gone to work to help themselves.
and with courage worthy of the
| heroic race, of which they may be
Justly proud. They have secured
railway and steamship connections
| which provide facilities for easy and
direct communications, not only with
all portions OF our country, but with
! trans Atlantic ports. During the
recent visit, to which | have refer
rcd, my attention was particularly
attracted by your splendid electric
railway limo, and the large number
of new and handsome residences ali
over the city, and especially IN the
west end.
Besides these accommodating eyi.
dences OF material development and
Improvement. 1t is gratifying to OBJ
serve that Norfolk in her public
and private schools affords oxcep.
tlonal advantages for the education
OF the young, and that there is no
city III the land where the sound of
the church going bell is responded
to by larger portion OF tho DOB
ulatlon. All these things clearly in
dlcate the the "City by the Sea"

1t is reported that there are not nearly
as many OF the superintendents and
forcmen included in the bequests of the
late Mr.. Coke as was at first supposed
and that the amount bequeathed to en-
ployes in the codocil is not $26, 900. as
previously stated, but S21 900. The Le-
high university, it is also said, will
receive S11 900. The money will be paid
to the favored ones upon the death of
Mrs. Coke, and in the meantime the
lcgatees will receive interest upon their
amounts at 4 per cent yearly.
