1t may not be out Of place to take tho
public, which has SO staunchly sup
ported TIE TINES, into its confidence,
that they may fully undcrs stand the en-
deavorS which have been made to give
them first-class newspaper. From the
day that THE TINES PUBLISHING
COMPANY was organized up to date, a
little over thirteen months, the cxpcn-
Sos of conducting TIE TINES have been
nearly $40, OO0 and it's receipts have also
exceeded expectation. Its increase in
circulat ton and patronage have more tn; n
anticipated the hopes of it's projectors.
To-day THE TIMES is spending moro
money than any paper in tho State out
side of Richmond and it has moro men
on it's salary list than any paper in tho
State, with the exception of the Rich
mond Times and Dispatch. Tho en-
penses of THE TIMES are larger than
those of both of its local contempora-
ries gether, and it's receipts and earn
ings occupy a similar relation.
A newspaper, in the eyes Of tho gen
eral public, is not regarded in the light
OF an industry or manufacturing cstab-
lishment, yet TIE TINES bears on it's
pay rolls twenty-five employees, whose
time is devoted to the paper, to say
nothing of some score of correspondents
at leading points throughout Southwest
Virginia. TIE TINES pays larger
average of wages than any other con-
Germ in Roanoke of equal size. 1t is
essentially home industry and brings
into the city for disbursement yearly
thousands Of dollars moro than it sends
away. Four-ffths of it's expenditures
are purely local, while over one-third OF
its receipts come from outside of Roa-
noie.
TIE TINES now predicts for the COM
ing year, and will refer to this predic-
ton when the year has passed, that
still greater actual increase in circuia-
ton and patronage will fall to its lot
during the coming year. 1t will grow
with the growth of Roanoke and South
west Virginia and will flourish like the
proverbial green bay tree. When ar
other twelve months have rolled by,
with the numerous improvements con-
templated and in view, TIE TINES will
have grown to be the best and strongest
paper in Virginia.

'With this number The ROANOKE
Times makes new mark in the journal
paper not only proud of the section,
but of which the section will be proud.
1t is equipped with the latest mechani-
cal appliances. With new dress and
in 4 new building; with full tclcgraphic
service, large corps of correspondents,
and 4 trained staff, it proposes to give
the great mineral belt Of Virginia such
q newspaper as it ought to have-such
newspaper as it never had before
THE TINES will give it's readers the
general news of their localities and of
the world, of Roanoke and Southwest
Virginia. 1t will tell of the daily prog
ress of manufac lures, the development
of enterprises and the inflow of immi-
grafton. 1t will tell the investor living
at distance the condition of enter

will lay before the capitalist and manu-
facturcr material facts which should in

millions Of outside capital have been

the great problem of tho Republic is be-

and South are uniting for the downfall
of scctionalism by the upbuildng of
great industries and mutual interests
Not the New South, nor Il Northern

be clean, and never scurrilous. 1t will

without llat'cry. II will be neither

oppose factions and rings. 1t insists
that the city's business shall br honestly

In looking back over its record fol-
the past year TIE TINES can truthfuily
say that it has advocated no scheme,
made no proposition nor supported any
measure that was not in its entirety iol
the good Of Roanoke.
TIE TINES has been strong because
it has inspired confidence in the public

it has been guided at all times, by the

As the campaign proceeds it be-
comes more and more plain that Mr..
Allen has a practical walk over. The
day after election Mr.. Wegman won't
be in it.n He won't be in sight.
The campaign is a quiet n 1t is
not one of drums and rockets. 1t is

blindness. The taxpayers of the
community are those who are making
it and they care more for one solid
fact than for all the platitudes DIR.

pl.h Washing Made EasIor.

While we are on this vulgar, but
most highly respectable, topic let me
say to those ladies who do themselves
the honor of attending to their own
housework, and consequently have it
done by ladies as to ladies' taste, that
there is no need of spelling hands by
ever so much dishwashing if the right
care is taken. 1t is the scalding
water, the hard water, bad soap and
hasty half drying which makes hands
coarse. A little soda, a half teaspoon
full or less to a gallon of water warm
enough to heat the china well, but
not parboil the hands, and decent
soap. not the strong kitchen bar
which ruins skin wherever iJ touches,
still less as some would-be refined
woman advises toilet soap for this op-
Grafton. The notion of scented soap
in dishwashing would bar the use of
it forever from most toilets.
The white cotton oil soaps, in which
we are sur of clean oil and no more
alkali than is needed, and which sell
as cheaply as any, should be used TOR
china and light washing.
ALI stronger cleansing should be
managed with a mop with a handle
fifteen to eighteen inches long, which
a few of the best furnishing stores
have the ms to sell, and which
keeps hands and dress effectually
from injury while doing the work
with speed and sureness.-Shirtey
