The enterprising men who have
built city in a few months. in Okla
homa show thorough knowledge oil
the question in all its bearings, aud
furnish an example which older COM
munities would do we'll to fellow. An
exchange says "Oklahama City starts
from the stump to be manufacturing
city," The people there have COM
menccd the construction Of canal
bringing the water power of the North
Canadian river into the city, where
with fall of thirty-two feet, it will
give power to several mills aud fac
tories soon to be erected. They pro-
pose in this way to save the waste OF
long transportation, both on manu-
featured products and the wheat, &c,
given in payment therefor, and thus at
the very beginning are laying
the foundations for a thrifty
and rapidly growing city. 1t
is this disposition to encourage the de
yelopment of Industries which has
done so much for Roanoke IN the past.
and is DIES tined to do so much for hex
in the future. Her peo lie realize the
fact that to be self.sustainipg and in-
dependent they must have developed
system of industries, aud they are con-
stsntly working erergetically in this
direction. Every effort in that line
meets with substantial encouragement
if it is deserving, and at no distant day

ing city of this state aud section

MOVING ON.

The year 1890 has indeed opened
auspiciously for this city, aud the In
creased activity in business, along
with the undated confidence of our
people in the future, gives promise Oh a
greater growth and more substantial
prosperity than has ever before beeL
known in the history Of Roanoke. The
demand for real estate is active, and
the tendency Of prices is upward with
out any signs Of speculation. Numer-
Gus buildings are already in process OF
construction, and contracts lave been
signed for the erection OF many others.
Work on the West End furnace is pro-
crossing rapidly. The brewery will
soon be built, and other substan-
tial industries will be added to
those already in operation here.
The Improvements contemplated
by the Norfolk and Western
railroad company, such as enlarging
the shops, offices, Hotel Roanoke,
freight depot and west end yards. will
add at least 5000 people to the city in
the next twelve mon tbs, while the
commencement of work on the Roanoke
and Southern railroad in the spring
will bring at least as many more peo-
pie here in the same space Of time.
Notwithstanding the opposition OF a
few property-holders, the vote for the
appropriation of an additional $l00,0 900
will be practically unanimous, and
with the throwing up of the first shovel
of dirt at this end of the line, there will
be such a rush Of people here as has
meyer before been seen. The settle
ment of the question of appropriation
will be followed by the entrance of the
valley branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad to the city and the establish
meut OF another route from thu North
and South for the Magic City. All the
dications a:e that when the Craig
mineral road is completed from Eagl e
Rock to New Castle, the line will
be extended from the last named place
to this city, and completion Of these
railroad lines means the increase aud
extension Of trade, the establishment
of industries and population, in few
years, Of fifty thousand or more. With
such bright prospects before them
surely our people cannot commit
municipal suicide by defeating the Or
dlnance appropriating 100000 addi-
tional to the Roanoke and Southern
j railroad.

The Pauper'S Burial.

Lower him down softly, the poor pnuper deau,
Reverently down to his last earthly bed;
Cast the dull burden of clay on his breast
Lower him down softly, the paupers at rest.
Lower him dowr gently, he's Mother Earth's
child:
She'll never shrink from the clay, sin.defled,
Fondly she'll clasp him close home to her
breast
The lone, wandering pauper, SO weary for
rest
Lower him down slowly; how welcome this
bed
To one who on pave-stones has pilIowed his
His inglorious strife with existence is Ger;
He needs not our pity, our charity, more.
He was worthless, say you-a beggar, fraud,
All, we'll, he was human, his judge should be
God!
Our judgments are biased; we see but span
And not the circumference OF heavens wide
plan.
Should we, then, deride? What know we OF
q life
Who heed but its errors, its hunger, its strife
We miSjudge the hearts that beat nearest our
own
The soul, as God sees it, to us is unknown.
Then lower him down softly, the poor pauper
dead;
He'll not be commanded to rise from this bed,
Cast the dull burden of clay on his breast
Lower him down softly, the panper's at rest.
