Stop AM c)i;iI,s.

This proposition: We have in
our hands for sale that valuable res-
idence property recently sold by DIR.
A. F. Hargrave to Mr. j. b. S. Nc
IntOsh, situated in this town. This
property consists of good house and
necessary out-housea, and about four
acres of beautiful lawn. q large mum :
Der of excellent fruit trees, berries
vines etc. The location of this prop.
erty commands splendid view
north and east, of which ones eyes
never weary. In fact this is one of
the most elegant and desirable resi-.
dence sites in this, or any other town
in Southwest Virginia. Now, we
want to sell this property. The
owner lives in distant city, and
cannot look after his interest here
personally. He has large business
interest in New York and other cities
which require his time and presence.
We mean business-this property
must be sold. Ifyou want to buy IL
come to see US at once, and make as
an offer. We will make prices and
terms to suit you.

The Water Rate.

We publish elsewhere the new
Water Tariff, as adopted by the
Town Council.
Upon examination and compar-
ison with the old rates the increase
is not as much as we first supposed.
Something seemed to us to be a lit
tie "Out of whack," when poor men
such as ourselves, pay $If.00 water
tax and rich men in town pay only
about the same, or not near so
much. But it isn't their fault that
we have so numerous progey.
"POor folks for children, and q
fool for luck" they say. So we
suppose it is alright. The harder
the storm the sooner it's over, so
the high the tax the sooner the
debt incurred in putting it in will
be paid. We do think, how
ever, that the tax on printing Off
ces is excessive and we hope the
Council will reconsider this asses
ment.

with his party. If he could see his

many Of its adherents are ashamed
of. There are other parties besides
the party he belongs to at present,
and there are men better fitted to be
