rerr,hle Wreck Near Roanoke.

An east-bound passenger train on the
Norfolk a Western Railroad was wrecked
at Thaxtons, about twenty miles from
Roanoke, about one o'clock last Tuesday
morning. The rain which had been fall
ing continuously and at times very
heavily in that section tor nearly two
days previous to the accident had swelled
the mountain streams greatly beyond their
normal state. On the night before several
trains had passed over the road and when
the fatal train left Roanoke II was

were unprecedented for its safety. Al the
place OF the accident, however the water
had undermined the road bed and caused
a washed ont eighty feet long and nifty
feet wide. The water al this point was
eight to ten feet deep. Into this watery
gulch the engine made irightiul leap
while running at a rate OF forty miles an
hour. carrying with 10 the tender and
eight cars.
As the engine struck bottom, the rush
ing Of the water into the locomotive ex-
ploded the boiler. This fact greatly
augmented the catastrophe Debris was
thrown in every direction by the force Of
the explosion, injuring some of those on
train by the dying fragments and scatter
ing Gre.brands, which igniied the wood

and destroyed the baggage, express

besides causing panic among Che al

The Advertiser

is the man who has goods He is the
man who wants TO sell them. Having
the goods and wanting to sell them, he
tells the people so in an advertisement
that cannot fail to catch their eyes He
knows his goods-their quality and price
and he wants both examined by people
before they purchase. Come into Wood
stock and take a look at the men who
don't advertise. They are satisfied to
sell 81. 80 worth Of goods day. 1t makes
little impression on their shelves and
their profits are equal to the hustling ad-
yertiser who gives you twice the goods
for the same money. There are several
stores here whose pIoprietOrs don't know
where the HERALD Office is. One active
man can sell for them all and superintend
a 900 acre farm a mile away. They
buy a bag Of coffee, one barrel Of sugar
and saw four sacks Of salt, and divide
They must all sell alike, because they
buy alike. Competition il the life OF
trade. The advertiser invites il from
other merch ants and from the people
who purchase. Dry goods, ready made
clothing and all other kinds Of merchan-
disc are cheap. The people will only get
advantage Of rises in the marketing and
decline in goods by watching the truly
business mans advertisement.

Woodstock needs a good cleaning up.
During this oppressively warm weather
it is certainly an important factor in pre-
venting disease. There are unpleasant
odors in some parts Of the town that

proper authorities to find these places and
they should require the owners OF the Of
