While it has not boon very warm during the past day or two the frost has boon disappearing from the ground rapidly , the snow and ice on the sur face has melted expeditiously and the ditches nro full of water today.

A prominent real estate man is authority for the statement that town property is in n lively mood and that many transfers nre being made. It is believed - lieved that it in but making a start in right direction and that by the time summer lias arrived there will be some astonish ing transactions in city property both in regard to number nnd the money in volved. The real estate man speaks with confidence of Norfolk gaining at least a thousand in population during the next year. Numerous people of the state nnd outbide of the state have had their attention nttracted toward Nor folk nnd its possibilities nnd not n few are planning to make this city their future homo nud either engage in busi ness or simply enjoy its advantages as n residence location. E. J. Carpenter's company presented n repetition of the Russiautmelo-dramn , "For Her Sake , " nt the Auditorium last night to a rather small audience. The play was presented something like a y a" a o and was heartily appreciated the company being evenly balanced throughout nud making good. It was therefore to be expected that the enter tainment would receive n bettor recep tion last night , but it was again ex emplified that Norfolk people do not care to part with their money in order to see a play the second time. The scenery employed by the company was fine , and two or three members of the cast took excellent part , among whom might be mentioned Eugene Shakes peare as Lord Chnmley Hargrave , nnd Agnes Blinl as Philis Gray. The next attraction at the Auditorium is "Devil's Auction , " Saturday , March 14. Norfolk , as well as other towns of the state , has an opportunity to bid for the entertainment of the state G. A.
