Advertising Epigrams.

Lying advertisements are and al
ways will be failures in the long run.
Pay as much attention to your adver-
Using as you do to your other pur-
chases and you will get equally salts
factory results.
Avoid superlatives, since constant
use weakens their effect. Successful
advertisers employ the simplest words
and forms OF expression.
1t may be safely asserted that an adj
vertisementpossesses more value when
tits first printed than it does on second
appearance, and that it lessons in value
as it grows stale; hence the import
ance of frequent chapges.-J. Walter
Thompson.
'sTo discontinue an advertisement, "
says John Wanamaker, Philadelphlas
great merchant, sis like taking down
your sign. If you want to do business
you must let the public know 1t;
Standing advertisements are better and
cheaper than reading notices. They
look more substantial and business like
and inspire confidence. I would as
soon think of doing business without
clerks as without advertising"

A Little Story from Real Life That
Carries u Moral.
When you got married to the bright
est and best girl in tho county, where
did you look for that notice that meant
so much to you, and SO little to nearly
everybody else? To your Home Paper.
When your home was invaded by
the blue eyed girl, or the bouncing
baby boy, to whom did you make it
your business to convey early infor-
nation as to the sex, the time and the
weight2 To the editor of that Home
Paper
In after years, when some manly
young fellow takes the blue eyed girl
to a home Of his own, or your once
bouncing boy-now MANS given a
partnership in the store because he has
just brought homo somebody else's
daughter and set up an establishment
of his own, to whom do you personally
exhibit the wedding presents and load
up with the brides cake, and to whom
do you lool, for that complete descrip-
ton of the interesting event, down to
! the last pickle fork and individual salt,
which, once more, means SO much to
you and a very few others, and so lit
tie to anybody else2 To this same edi-
tor Of that same Home Paper.
And when trouble comes in the

that dcsolatc bit of realty, the lot in

doesn't seem to shine just as it uscdto,

GLADE ADDITION.
n Beautiful and Convenient Location
for Buildings.

No city in the South has grown with
greater rapidity than has Roanoke,
and probably not one is Oh firmer
foundation considering its age.
Roanoke swells and grows each day,
and unlike most cities, does not grow in
any one direction more than an other,
but is being rapidly built up or every
side, north, east, south and west.
The influx of population since 1884
has been enormous, and hundreds OF
buildings have gone up TO supply the
demand There has been no lull in
the erection OF houses this winter, ez-
cept that occasioned by the rain, and
drive in what direction, you will hear
the sound OF the hammer and evil
dences of building meet your eye.
Hundreds who rented houses a few
years ago pay taxes now, owning
their dwellings,, and the erection of res
licences is the best index TO the growth
Of the city and the strongest assur
ance that the city is here to stay.
The homes that have been built
here within the past year are, many
Of them, as handsome, artistic and
expensive as can be found anywhere.
To accommodate the ever increasing
population, numerous additions have
been laid off and the lots placed on
the market. Among the many valu-
able properties hereabouts, none Of
fer greater inducements as place of
residence than the Glade addition.
This property is situated just east
of Glade creek and is traversed by the
Vinton extension of the Roanoke
street railway. which places it in d.
rect communication with the central
portion of the city, person can live
in that section, and if his place of
business is in the upper part
of the city, or even in the
West End, he can take the street car
and be ready for the days work at
the usual time Every benefit of a
suburban residence is obtained, with
out any of its discomforts.
The property is well drained and
therefore healthy. 1t has been di-
vided into lots by the laying off of
wide streets and avenues. The view
to be obtained from Glade addition is
beautiful. On the east, towering
hundreds of feet in the air, are the
Blue Ridge mountains. while on the
south the Roanoke river winds itself
like silver thread among the hills,
forming one of the most beautiful
bits of scenery anywhere in Southwest
Virginia. One of the principal feat
ures about the Glade property is the
easy terms upon which the lots can be
gotten. The prices have been placed
so low that it is within the power of
every man to own his home. Messrs.
William NJ. wager & Co., are the
agents for the company and they will
take pleasure in giving any informa-
ton concerning the property. Call
on them at their Office on South JEFF
ferson street.

Concerning Home Patronage

No paper can I've published without
home patronage, aud every one is IN
terested in keeping up home paper.
If railroad or factory is wanted, the
newspapers are expected to work for
it. II a. public meeting is wanted Tor
any purpose, the newspaper is called !,
upon for a free notice. If any OF the
societies have supper or reception OF
any kind, the newspaper is expected
to give the necessary notice. The news
papel must puff the schools and every.
BODY else to advance the interests OF
tht, business men of the place, and
then give them handsome notice
when they pass away. And yet some
VIZ them DO nothing to keeptn q home

EAST END ADDITION.
ID esirabiIfay Of and Demands for Lots
There.

As the summer advances much &C
tivity in building operations is
noticed, and many new houses are il
process of construction. This natur
ally makes the real estate market
much firmer, and agents are CORES
pondingly happy. Simmons & Co.
have been doing a rushing business,
one of the best since the firm was es-
tablished. The East End property
is changing hands very rapidly, and
many new houses will be erected this
season.
Among the prominent additions in
the East End, is that of the Oak
Ridge Land Company. The addition
lies Just east of Belmont and south of
the East Side Land Company's prop
erty and aojoins the farms of Messrs.
George Taylor and e.. w. Carr.
This offers every inducement as q
place of residence. 1t is removed
from the business portion of the city
and therefore gives a quiet, suburban
home, while at the same time it is
near the dummy line and therefore
quite convenient to the city.
The land is high and dry and has
just enough slope to give it good
drainage. Gas and water mains are
being put in and new streets are be-
ing laid ont, Everything is propi-

Tho Electric Current.
To The INDEPENDENT-I noticed in your
issue of this mornings paper that some
body has rather an erroneous idea of the
strength of the current carried by the over
head wire of the electric line. The current
is five hundred volts, which is considered
not strong enough to be deadly. There ID
no instance in the railroad business where
a person has been killed by the current,
and as have had a little experience with ii
myself, think know what l am talking
about.
In the case of MIR. King, he had ample on.
portunity to try its strength on two COCA
sions, and he is still alive up to date. Mel
ther was he confined to his room for two
days, as stated in your paper. but was out
attending to his business two hours after
the accident occurred.
Another thing, there is no danger from
the overhead current provided person is
not connected with the ground. Men have
been working ON the line when the cars
were running, and in no case has man
been hurt. In case of a telegraph wire or a
telephone wire dropping upon the trolley
there is an automatic arrangement at the
power station which Immediately breaks
the circuit and stops the flow of current.
The electric current, If properly handled
is harmless, and nine-tenths of the acci-
dents caused by it are due to carelessness. i.

In my garden of roses
My sn owtake repOses--
The flowers are so fresh and so gay,
1t seems that the season,
For some unknown reason,
Has taken the place Of sweet May.
Perhaps twas to meet thee.
Perhaps twas to greet thee,
And welcome the home, lovely bride,
That the winds of the north
Have delay'd to come forth,
And that spring is as yet by our side.
In this land of flowers,
And deep shady bowers.
Their hearts are so warm and SO true
Many friends may you find
Who will ever be kind
To one who's all kindness. like you.
