CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. June g.
Every citizen of Charlottesville is loud
in praise OF the progressive move on
the part Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway in sending an early morning
train out Of Richmond, SO that tho peo-
pie OF this city are able to get an early
morning paper. The Times Dispatch now
reaches its readers at 1880 o'clock in
the morning, an hour and half before
any other morning paper Is on the
streets. This is not only the case on
week days, but on Sunday also. The
Tlmes-Dispatch is in the hands OF the
people before any other paper. A prom,
3inent gentleman said to-day: Eve buy
The Times Dispatch for one-half the
price OF the other Sunday papers, while
1t Is as good II not better, than any
other that comes to our city.
Charlottesville Is upon q great steady
advance in all Its branches. It's popula-
ton is increasing in great strides; Is
natural advance is nothing less than
marvellous Its public schools and educa-
tional advantages are beyond those OF
cities five times Its size; its city income
is more than ample to keep abreast OF
the times, and its civic and internal de-
velopments are such that8it Is attract
Ing residents Of the very best class.
Rapid Improvement.
Perhaps nowhere in the State has there
been a more rapid Improvement In civic
conditions and in municipal improve
ments than in Charlottesville. which, IN
few years. has arisen from the narrow
lines Of a small town to the broad plano
Of a progressive and we'll ordered city.
1t is a fact OF which Its citizens are
proud, that in the "boom' OF several
years ago, which spread all over the
State, Charlottesville stands as being one

The description of the new hotel by the

the new hotel will be:

1t more complete from the standpoint Of
accommodations than 1t ever was-that
Is to say, the scope Of the accommoda-

rooms will be largely increased. The
new house will have over five hundred
