posed to b local syndicate to build a

the best material. Much machine
work that looks like hand work is
said to be hand work. That, OF
course, is false. Sometimes machine
work is said to be as good as hand
work. IF that is so, why is it that
machine work is never used except
ON poor material and hand work is
only put on good. material? Oul
shoes are priced according to leather
and good hand work. We handle

The Grissom investigation was

these were former attendants. Some

Rev. j. III. Gordon, all of whom testi-
fed that they, held religious services
in the institution, and that DIR. Girls
som was rarely ever absent. They
had an opportunity to observe the
relations between DR.. GrissOm and
the patients during frequent visits,
and had been struck with the kindly
relations which almost resembled
those of father and children. One
lady witness testified to-day that she
had long known Mrs. Lily Parkinson
and that her character wasnOtgood.

Adyosaeipg the Dssinniag Of Work q shs
g. Other End.
The Roanoke Herald il anxious for
work On the Ro4uUke q Southern
R0lpe4 to begin. work at it's end of
TIL line t0wards Winston. Last
Tues6ay's issue a that paper con-
tains the following editorial in this
connection:
''The city of Roanoke subscribed
&1OO, 900 to the Roanoke & Southern
HAih Dad, tobe Paid when ten miles
of the line was completed from this
city south. Wehad hoped the board
of directors, would sec it's way clear
to locating and awarding the con-
tract for the construction of this Sec
ton ere now, but as nothing has been
done in this direction beyond pre-
liminary surveys we suppose it was
impracticable.
Would it not be good plan to
urge upon the board the advisability
OF beginning work at this end of the
road? The 100000 can not be
made available otherwise, and the
commencement of the work here
would revive hope, stimulate trade
and enhance the value of the COM
pany's stock. If q profit can be de-
rived from operating eighteen miles
of the road at the southern end, it
would certainly pay more than ex-
penses at this. We hope the board
of trade and the people will think of
these suggestions and take action in
the matter"
From the following local item, tax
en- from the same paper, it appears
that arrangements are to be made at
once to act upon the above sugges-
ton:
"Hon. b. s. Trout, president of the
Roanoke & Southern Railroad, left
yesterday for Baltimore on business
connected with that corporation. In
conversation with a Herald reporter
on the depot platform he said the
prospects for the early commence
ment of work ON this end of the
line were very encouraging, and that
his visit to Baltimore was with q
view to raising the necessary finances
for that PURPOSE"
