2& LöhAt i o'clock, P. M., when

ice LotsWeComprising the very cream of the Company's property, willbe offered. The property of the Salem Development Companyis generally admitted to be the finest property in Saleni.Salem is located upon the main line of the Norfolk anrTWest-ern railway, six miles west of the City of Roanoke, and is thechartered terminus of the Valley branch of the Baltimore andOhio railroad, and may be justly styled t' gateway to thegreat mineral and coal region known as "Southwest Virginia."It is the point where the products of this famous region willfirst find competition on their way to the Northern and Easternmarkets. The Roanoke and Southern railroad will enterSalem through this conipany\s property. No town in theSouth has kept so steadily advancing during the summer-months as Salem. The number of buildings erected duringthe summer has been astonishing. The population of Salemhas doubled within the past ten months. The Dummy Rail¬way from Roanoke is completed to within one mile of SalernoThe postal and telegraph business has increased 350 per cent,in the past ten mouths, and money invested in lots has madefrom 400 to 800 per cent, in less than eight months. Thefirst sale made by this company was made on the 13th ofAugust, and over $230,000 of lots have been sold at an averageof $612 per lot. The lots to be offered are located in the centerof the company's property, and very near the new passengerstation of the Norfolk and Western railway. Three passengertrains each way daily.
