ECKER, Sec. How to get Rich. Buy real estate and hold it. TIs wonderful how real estate will increase in value, even in a compara lively unimportant place like Galllpo-lis. In addition to the use of your property old Father Time, assisted by the Influx of people, steadily piles up a goodly Interest on your investment in the shape of an increased value.

Below we give some figures and make some comparisons, from which you may draw your own conclusions, recollect ing that our values are drawn from the tax duplicate, with the uncertain and unreliable figures that are necessarily a part of-an estimate of that character, Those chronic who prate of the. increase of taxation as compared with increase of other values, are fully met and answered. Small Lot 7, on Conrt street, the rest, dence or Franklin Uarel, was valued on the duplicate of 1842 at $848, taxed at 20 77. On the duplicate of 1879 It. stands at $2772, an increase for the 37 years of 320 per cent, or a yearly increase In value of per cent.

The present tax Is $59, an increase less than '300 per cent, a difference In favor of the property for that time of 20 per cent. This Increase In valuation does not tike Into consideration the decay of the buildings. We take the 77 feet mid. of Garden Lot 20, on Front Street, occupied by Mr. Wm.

S. Kerr. Tho duplicate of 1842 values It at $196, with taxes of $4 85. The present valuation Is $701, taxes $15. -Increase In valuation, 359 per cent, or a yearly Increase of 94 tper cent.

Increase In taxes, 309 per cent. Next the Tupper lots 11 and 12, upper side of Public Square, owned by Hen-Idng, Allemong Co. The duplicate of 1842 shows $976 as the valuation, taxes $23 90. Present valuation, $2582, taxes $54 99. Increase in valuation, 264 per cent.

Increase In taxes, 230 per cent. Not so great an Increase as compared with the property above, but still greater than the tax Increase. The yearly Increase in valuation is a little more than 7 per cent. It tsia little cnrlous that-tho'valuatlon in 1823 exceeded the valuation of the last two pieces of property, to-wlt: G. L.20, $544; Small Lots 11 and 12, $1450.

This brings us to the consideration of the value of an acrk op land in oalupolis, making our estimates on lot3 117, 116 and 109 fronting the Public Square. These lots commence with the brick occupied by the firm of J. M. Kerr and down to and include the brick business house of J. J.

Cadot. Probably not so valuable an acre as the property at the lower end of the same square. Footing up the values on the tax duplicate we have $50,000, the true value not being less than $80,000. At this rate, that square of 5 acres would be worth the nice little figure of $426,666. What effect the completion of the O.

W. Va. K. will have on real estate values, remains to be seen. to to of for at Railroad.

Saturday evening the coming force on th'e railroad had passed through the Campbell tunnel, which Is about four miles this side of Eagle Furnace, and the road Is ballasted and finished through the tunnel. The going force, at the same time had the track laid to Nlles Summit, or nearly four miles beyond Vinton. The two forces Saturday evening were about eight miles apart. Between the forces there are two bridges to build across Raccoon creek, The bridges will be of Iron and are to come by rail, only a few days being re quired to have them across. The com ing force will not come more than a mile before they strike tho first bridge, while the going force will go five mllc3 before reaching the other bridge.

The two forces will meet near this last bridge, as there are only about five miles of steel rails here. Monday and Tuesday track 'was laid, some difficulty being experienced In getting ties, and It is thought the Iron will be down by the 20th. The steam shovel 13 at work again, and the gravel trains are ballasting about two miles beyond Evergreen. John Hassett Is boss tracklayer since the death of McCarty.

This consisted of a three inch plank placed straight across the track, near one of the trestles this side of Vin ton. Another attempt was also made during the week to accomplish the same purpose. It Is suspected that certain parties want to venf 'thelr splte'on'the old management, and have chosen the ways ot the sneaking, cowardly assas sin; for murderous It is planned, pre, meditated, deliberate murder as though the perpetrators had stolen unawares upon the unconscious employees of the train and attempted to deal them their death blow with the board.

KERR CO. Frost and Sunshine. Marbiko At the St. Charles Hotel. Friday, July 2d, by Alexander Logue, Mr.

John J. Jonxsox and Miss Maby Hickma.v, all of West Virginia. The above simple announcement'' was handed to us on Monday. Learning that there was considerable richness in the case, our Reporter proceeded to the St. Charles to intervlow tho happy couple.

The groom Is 52 years of age, owns two farms and has some very good ideas the world in, general. The bride is 14, has a doll-baby face, big blue eyes, fair complexion and brown hair. Sep. "We understand, Mr. that yon are the subject of a J.

"Yes, sir. Mary and I havo had a putty tough time on it. -knew her when she was a crawling baby, and when she growed up, I loved her, sir; yes, sir, this love Is a tra'nge business that I can't understand. I might have gone into society and got a wife, but I took that gal that can't read or write, think that she was intended for me from the foundation." Rep. "Then you think there is some thing mysterious about this thing called lovef" Johnson "Yes, sir, it is inexpressible, though she is green, I love her better than myself.

She is In better hands as an old man's baby than a young-man's slave." Jlep. "We have heard that you had considerable trouble in securing your fair bride?" Johnton "I tell you, sir, I wished I was an editor so I could write up my trip. I told Mary I would be after her on a certain night and for her to sit in certain place. Then I walked Into the house with a revolver In my right hand, and her old man had got wind of me coming and sot there shot gun across his knees, and I says, says come on Mary, If the old man says a word I will kill him. She was barefoot, and had nothing on her head and her everyday clothes on, but I loved her, sir, and I m'eant business.

She was so scared that she called me Uncle. When we got to Charleston I watched at her door three nights while she slept." At this juncture "Mary" came into the room with a handkerchief she had washed and hung It across the hack of an office chair. "There Is Mary, now," remarked the old gentleman; "come here, Mary." With Mary's head nestled under his arm, he looked down upon with alt the fervor of a mother scanning her first born. Mary pettishly suggested that she was going to the Fireman's dance and hear the "serenading," and' ''If they charged anything she would, tell them she was single." The aged bridegroom was much bothered because he had failed foseoure his marriage certificate, and'theReporter promised again and again that hn would see the "Judge" and procure him that necessary voucher. Rep "And so, Mr.

you purchased your wife some elegant clothing?" Johnson "Yes, sir, I seed the gals the streets with some long robes (linen, dusters Hep.) on I Mary should have one." "Rep "Well, Mr. Jl, you are making quite a stay In our city. I suppose you wish to let your bride recover from her excitement, before you return to your home on the banks of the Kanawha?" Johnson "Well, I am going to take Mary clear- round to Chicago and let the storm blow over before I go back. Mind you, I am not afraid, my name is John aud lam a regular John Heenan." The supper bell called them, and the Ro porter left with the parting in junction from the old man "not' to go away until T-get back." The City Board of "Education, Satur day elected Miss M. A.
