NOTE: Part I of this Prospectus may not be distributed
unless accompanied by Part II
THE TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND OF VIRGINIA
Prospectus, Part I,
dated October 20, 1995
The Fund
The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of Virginia, Third Series (the
"Fund") is a unit investment trust formed for the purpose of
gaining interest income free from Federal and Virginia income
taxes while conserving capital through a diversified investment
in tax-exempt bonds. The Bonds in the portfolio of the Fund
consist of obligations of political subdivisions,
public authorities and agencies of the Commonwealth of Virginia
that were rated "A" or better by Standard & Poor's Corporation or
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. on the date of deposit. All
bonds deposited in the Fund were accompanied by copies of
opinions of recognized bond counsel to the effect that interest
thereon is exempt from all present Federal and Virginia income
taxes, except in certain instances depending on the
Certificateholder. In the opinion of counsel, such interest is
not taxable to the Fund and, with certain exceptions, is exempt
to Certificateholders from all present Federal and Virginia
income taxes, but may be subject to taxation by localities and
states other than Virginia. Capital gains, if any, will be
subject to Federal income taxes and may be subject to Virginia
income taxes to Certificateholders. (See "Tax Status of the
Fund" in Part II). Payment of interest and conservation of
capital are necessarily dependent upon the continuing ability of
the issuers of the bonds to meet their obligations. Each Unit of
interest ("Unit") at October 20, 1995 represented a 1/4,000
fractional undivided interest in the $740,000.00 principal amount
of the Bonds and net income of the Fund in the ratio of 5.41
Unit for each $1,000 par value of the bonds in the Fund. For a
summary of information about the composition of the portfolio,
see "Information Regarding the Fund" on page F-5.
The Units being offered by this Prospectus are issued and
outstanding Units that have been purchased by the Sponsor in the
secondary market or from the Trustee after having been tendered
for redemption. The Units are being offered at the Public
Offering Price plus interest accrued to the date of settlement.
The profit or loss resulting from the sale of Units will accrue
to the Sponsor. No proceeds from the sale will be received by
the Fund.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED
BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE
COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO
THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Sponsor: Craigie Incorporated

Public Offering Price
Units are offered at the Public Offering Price, plus
accrued interest. The Public Offering Price per Unit is equal to
the aggregate offering price of the underlying Bonds in the
Fund's portfolio, divided by the number of Units outstanding,
plus an amount equal to 4.439% thereof, resulting in a sales
charge equal to 4.25% of the Public Offering Price. (See
"Public Offering Price" in Part II). At October 20, 1995 the
Public Offering Price was $197.64 plus accrued interest to
expected date of settlement (five business days after such date)
of $1.70, or a total of $199.34. The Public Offering Price on
the date of this Prospectus or on any subsequent date will vary
from this price in accordance with fluctuations in the prices of
the underlying Bonds. If the Bonds were available for direct
purchase, the purchase prices thereof would not include the sales
charge included in the Public Offering Price.
Estimated Current Return
Estimated Current Return per Unit, which was 5.73% on
October 20, 1995, is calculated by dividing net annual interest
income per Unit by the Public Offering Price. Since net interest
income will vary with changes in the expenses of the Fund and as
Bonds are redeemed, paid, sold or exchanged and the Public
Offering Price will vary with fluctuations in prices of the
underlying Bonds, there can be no guarantee that the Estimated
Current Return as of a particular date will be realized in the
future.
On January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of 1992, the
Fund distributed to Certificateholders interest income of $13.96
per Unit, on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of 1993,
the Fund distributed to Certificateholders interest income of
$8.73 per Unit and on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of
1994, the Fund distributed to Certificateholders interest income
of $3.00 per Unit.
Retain both parts of this Prospectus for future reference.

HOUSING AUTHORITIES. Approximately 79.33% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds consists of obligations
of Virginia housing authorities. Because such Bonds are
obligations of issuers whose revenues are primarily derived from
mortgage loans to housing projects, the ability of such issuers
to make debt service payments will be affected by events and
conditions affecting finance projects, including, among other
things, maintenance of adequate levels of occupancy and rental
income, increases in operating expenses, changes in laws and
social and economic trends affecting the localities in which the
projects are located. Weaknesses in Federal housing subsidy
programs and their administration may result in a decrease in
subsidies available for payment of principal and interest on
housing authority bonds. Economic developments, including
fluctuations in interest rates and increasing construction and
operating costs, may also adversely affect revenues of housing
authorities. In the case of some housing authorities, inability
to obtain additional financing could also reduce revenues to pay
existing obligations.

SPONSOR'S PROFITS. Cash, if any, made available to the
Sponsor prior to a settlement date for the purchase of Units may
be used in the Sponsor's business, subject to the limitations of
17 C.F.R. Section 240.15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, and may be of benefit to the Sponsor.
MARKET FOR UNITS. The Sponsor intends to continue to
offer to purchase Units of this and other series of The Tax-
Exempt Bond Fund of Virginia at prices, subject to change at any
time, based upon the offering side evaluation of the Bonds in the
Portfolio of this series and other series, but is under no
obligation to do so. (See "Market for Units" in Part II.)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Sponsors, Trustee and Unit Holders of
The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of Virginia, Third Series
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities of The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of Virginia, Third
Series, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of
December 31, 1994 and the related statements of operations and
changes in net assets for each of the three years in the period
then ended, and selected per unit data and ratios for each of the
five years in the period then ended. These financial statements
and per unit data and ratios are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and per unit data and ratios based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements and per unit data and ratios are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation
of securities owned as of December 31, 1994 by correspondence
with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per
unit data and ratios referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Tax-Exempt Bond
Fund of Virginia, Third Series, as of December 31, 1994, the
results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes
in its net assets for each of the three years in the period then
ended, and selected per unit data and ratios for each of the five
years in the period then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1994
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, as a Unit Investment Trust. The
following is a summary of significant accounting
policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The Fund maintains its books on a cash basis. The
accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to
record the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments and to record expenses and interest income
on the accrual basis.
Securities
Securities are stated at value as determined by
the Evaluator as explained under "Public Offering of
Units - Evaluation of the Fund" (Prospectus, Part II),
based on bid side evaluation. Cost was based on
offering side evaluation at the date of deposit. The
difference between cost and market value is reflected as
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments.
Realized gains and losses from securities transactions
are determined for federal income tax and for
financial reporting purposes on the basis of the cost of
specified certificates. Security transactions are
recorded on the trade date.
Income Taxes
The Fund's policy is to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are
applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all its taxable income to its certificate-
holders. Therefore, no income tax provision is
required.
NOTE 2: DISTRIBUTIONS:
Net investment income is distributed to unit holders on
the first day of each calendar quarter. Such
distributions are accrued on the record dates, which are
March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. The
income distribution payable at December 31, 1994
amounted to $2.46 per unit. Distributions of principal
from the sale or maturation of securities, if any, are
made and recorded in the manner described above.

Evaluator is paid a fixed fee of $35 for each portfolio
valuation plus expenses.
NOTE 4: ORIGINAL COST TO UNIT HOLDERS:
The original cost to unit holders represents the
aggregate initial offering price as of the date of
deposit exclusive of accrued interest. A reconciliation
of the original cost of units to investors to the net
amount applicable to investors as of December 31, 1994
is set forth below:
Original cost to investors $5,532,766
