Back Again Tomorrow.

1t took nearly four pages of the reg
lister at Hotel Roanoke Yesterday to
enroll the names of the large crowd
of strangers there, the majority of
them being from the North. After
breakfast was over they began to as
semble Oh the portico to get good
look at Roanoke and the beautiful
views by which she is surrounded.
BY walking among the gentlemen
and listening to their conversation
one would soon come to the conclu-
sion that they were closely interested
in our city's welfare; and SO they
were, for nine out of every ten men
there was either an officer i'll the large
corporations that have made the
Magic City" or otherwise closely
connected with them. Mr.. Charles
q. Eddy, Colonel Frank Huger, Major
w. w. Coe, Mr.. d. w. F'lickwir, MIR.
S. Is. Haupt, and other prominent
railroad men were on hand, extending
them every courtesy and doing all
they could to make their stay among
us pleasant
After enjoying cigar at the motel,
nearly every member of the party
was driven in carriages over the city
and from the frequent EXPLANATIONS
uttered il was plainly to be seen that
their establishment at the growth of
Roanoke since hey were here in May,
1889, knew no bounds.
The reason of this vast assemblage
Of big guns here ut this time is that
all of the large companies with head
quarters in Roanoke were to hold their

hour or two in looking oyer tue city
the gentlemen repaired TO the Offices
of their respective companys, and
