AUCTION
SALE
BLUEFIELD LOTS
In Addition to Five Hundred
Dollars Given Away Every
Purchaser of 5000 gets
Free Transporta-
ton.

We are in receipt of an announce
ment of an auction sale of lots which
Will take place i'm Bluelield ON Octo-
ber 18th, tomorrow week, which
should be of interest To all our read
ers who may have a little money 10
invest, or who are i'm any way in
terested i'm real estate speculation.
The announcement states that so lots
Will be sold 10 the highest bidder on
easy payments, or at n good discount
for cash, and one lot, valued at $3.50.
90 Will be given away, and in ad-
dition $50. 90 in gold will be given
away OH the occasion, also, making
5000. 90 free gifts 10 the people. To
still further induce larger number
of buyers, every purchaser of as much
as 5000 worth of property, his railroad
fare and expenses will be refunded.
These extraordinary inducements are
held out by the company in order 10
get people TO inspect the property.
They feel sure OF sales after that.
The lots are located i'm what is
known as Eastview addition, an ex-
tension of Princeton Avenue. the
most important thoroughfare of the
city, leading, as it does direct to
Princeton. This property we under
stand, has city water, and the city
sewerage mains are continguous.
Princeton avenue is now being paved
and mcadamized by this property.
The city has already built up TO the
Eastern part of this Eastview addi-
tion. The property is within about
three squares or so of the car line.
and the Traction Company, under
the new franchise, is under contract
to extend their lines beyond this pro-
perty within three years, but, the
rapid development and growth of the
Summit City" will force this
extension long before the iimitalIow-
ed. In short, here is an opportunity
TO make an investment or secure n
home in town whose future is no
longer question, and whose past.
rapid and permanent growth is an
absolute guarantee of its continua-
ton. There is no risk, whatsoever, in
buying property in Bluefield at reg
ular standard prices, but when fine
business and residence lots are to
be had at reduced rates, il would
seem TO be an opportunity which
would be eagerly seized upon.
Capt. ID. b. Baldwin, the veteran
real estate dealer, of Bluefield, will
give any information desired.

The Same Here

For instance, ticket from Rich
mond to Alexandria, or from Alex
andria to Richmond, may be bought
for two cents mile, or $3.50. For
many years the fare between AIexan-
dria and Washington, just across the
river, has been twenty-five cents.
But the railway station in Washing
ton city is few hundred yards be-
yond the Virginia line, and availing
itself of that technical fact, the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
charges SO. 80 for tickets from Rich
mond TO Washington, and from
Washington to Richmond.
How many people do they think
they deceive by that? 1t simply
puts men who do not choose to be
swindled out of seventy-five cents to
the trouble of buinyg ticket from
Richmond to Alexandria, for which
they pay g. 80, and another ticket al
Alexandria for Washington, fol
which they twenty-five cents, instead
OF ticket straight through from
Richmond to Washington, for which
they would be charged S3.5O.-New,

No New Depot at Graham

Tazewell, Va, Oct. Z.

Our information is that the new
depot for Graham will not be built.
Some changes Will be made at the
present depot, but the new building
asked for, and considered by the
company, will not be constructed.
The Corporation Commission was
asked to look into the matter, which
was done, and evidently reported that
a new depot was not an immediate
necessity. At any rate the N. & w.
refuse to build a new dpeot.
