VOLUME XII.

It is thought the old man Birch ,referr- ed to in the article "The Musty Past, of November 22, was Samuel, son of William Birch, who left Newtown when he was seven years old. His sister was mother of John Tousey of New York and they were grandchildren of Nathan iel Northrop, whose home was where Walter Rutlles now lives. Samuels playground was flat rock in the lot op- posite the house, where an old chestnut tree stands. While playing there, his parents came for him from the place where Arthur Peck now lives, or near there and started for the then far West with their family. We next hear of him in Nicksburg, from which place he came here in 1863 or 'Gl, putting up at Dicks hotel, visited the old homestead with his granddaughter with the desire to see and stand on the old rock once more, which he remembered so well playing upon when q child.

IMPORTANT MEASURES.

Several matters of Importance were
touched upon at the meeting of the
city council Tuesday night and
allowed to go o1er for future consider
alton add action.
One of these was the question OF
raising money to provide for the erec-
ton and maintenance ola city hospital,
and the other was the ACCESSIBILITY OF
appropriating an additional 100000
for he Roanoke aud Southern railroad.
Both OF these matters vitality concern
the city's future prosperity The
railroad will bring increased material
development and the hospital, if built,
would be a valuable addition to the
towns ability to property care for the
sick and afflicted.
Nearly every town in the country
as large as Roanoke has hospital ard
the only reason that one has not pre-
viously been started here is that the
city is quite young and that the peo-
pie have not, in the midet Of their bust
ness, had the time TO con-
slider the necessity and advantage OF
such an institution. In great many
cases such institutions are erected and
maintained either by different demon
nations, or by some charitable or
benevolent society, and 1t is still a
question whether the money ought 10
be provided by the city lust now. The
council will, 10 doubt, consider the
matter carefully, as it deserves. and
act upon il accordingly.

INFORMATION WANTED.

The TINES is constantly receiving
letters from parties living in different
states ofthe Union, asking for informa-
ton about Roanoke and Southwest
Virginia, aud the desirability of both
places for residences and investment.
The letters usually, too, are accom-
panied by postage stamps to pay for
specimen copies Of The TINES, in ad-
dition to the requests for whatever
special information the persons may
desire. For this kind Of Information
there is a constantly increasing de-
mand, and there isn't a single one OF
the passenger trains that pass
through here in day that doesn' t
bring some one prospecting in the sec
ton. all of these persons read the
newspapers and read them closely, adj
vertisements and all, and judge of the
town very much 10 accordance with
the matter contained therein.
If you have ever been placed 10 a
similar situation yourself, you know
the statement is true. If you are not
already doing so, there is no better
time thar the present. to advertise.
The town will experience the largest
growth and development this winter
and spring it has ever known.

TWO SIDES.

We hear much of the millions OF
dollars that are being invested in GER
tain sections Of Virginia, of railroad
building, of the development of mines,
of the construction Of manufactures.
All this is taken by the optlmlst as
increasing the taxable values IN Vir-
ginia and as promising an Increase IN
the revenue Of the commonwealth.
But those whose eyes are dazzled by
this bright side of the question are too
much absorbed liz delightful speculation
to see another side, and dark one.
They do not see that while wealth is
increasing in one section of the state
poverty is increasing in another.
Whilst in the mountains of Virginia the
smoke of new furnaces obscures the
sun by day and the glow OF melt
ing ore outshines the moon by night,
the darkness of want and depression
oyerhangs the worn lands of the east
ern section of the state. While the
people in the rugged and once un-
searched highlands of Virginia are dig

true. There is no doubt that The min
