ROANOKE TINES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.

Mai ". w. Ballard, commemorative
attorney, has been corresponding with
Judge Junkin concerning tho opening
of new dirt road in Roanoke county,
and yesterday had a consultation with
the Price brothers, who live on the
route of the proposed road, in regard to
the matter.
The road is to run from lluff's store.
on Bent Mountain, by way Of Bottom
Creek and Puncheon's Camp to the
Montgomery line, where it joins road
already surveyed to Big Spring depot.
The grade Of the road Will not be over
three degrees to the mile, anywhere on
the mountain.
The people on Bent Mountain will be
greatly benefit ID by the opening of this
road. There is some magnificent timber
on Bent Mountain AMI it has to be
hauled now to Roanoke and Salem over
bad roads in bad weather, whereas If the
proposed new road is built it will enable
the Bent Mountaincers to haul their
lumber and produce TO Big Spring, or
Elliston, rs it is now called, and ship it
there on the Norfolk and Western rail
road to Roanoke, Salem or such other
places as they desire.
The people of Bent Mountain are
thrifty and raise quantities of apples.
corn, wheat and cabbagcs, and some po-
tatoes They will further have this adj
vantage. They will have, after reach
ing Elliston, the use OF the macadamized
road to Salem, the distance being 3
miles.
From Elliston to IIuH's store it is.
about ten miles. The distance from
iluifs sto e to Salem by this route will
not be greater tlan by the present
route now in use by Cave Spring, when
Back creek is to be crossed and in
winter the road is we'll nigh impassab Bile.
Major Ballard will confer u great favor
upon the people of not only Bent Noun
tain but the whole county if he Sue

JUDGE THEM BY THEIR FRUITS.

L
I remark, in the first place, that you
can judge of the moral character OF
any amusement by Its healthful result
or by its baleful reaction. There are
people who seem made up of hard
facts. They are q combination of null
tiplication tables and statistics. If you
show them an exquisite picture they
will begin to discuss the pigments in
volved in the coloring. If you show
them a beautiful rose they will submit
it to a botanical analysis. which is only
the post-mortcn examination of a
flower. They lave no rebound in
their nature. They never do anything
more than smile. There are no great
tides of feeling surging up from the
depths of their soul, in billow after bill
low of rcvcrbcrating laughter. They
seem as if nature had built them by
contract and made q bungling job out
of it.
But, blessed be God, there are people
In the world who have bright faces,
and whose life is song, al anthem, IL
pecan of victory. Even their troubles
are like the vines that crawl up the
side of great tower, on the top OF
which the sunlight sits and the soft
airs of summer hold perpetual carnival.
They are the people you like TO have
come to your hor9c: 10y are people |

by mule kicking him in the head. With
in few hours after he was dead a strange
story came to light. 1t was told by an ac-
quaintance who knew Allen before the war.
His real name was Frazee. He (Allen) was
In the Union army. With few oompan-
ions he one day left the camp. As they did
not return the provost marshal started tor
them. They were drunk and fired on the
marshal. The marshal was killed. Then
the deserters jumped into stream
and in swimming it, one Tom Allen,
who WAS i'll the party, was drowned:
When Frazee came out of the stream and
observed that one of his companions was
drowned he took the name of the drowned
man, as he had done the shooting and was
known. The change of his name aided him
in escaping. He was never captured. He
lived 15 years in Mz1tana under his own
name. Then 15yeezs ago he came here and

Consumption Baciln in Railroad Cars.

Consumption Bacillt in Railroad Cars.
Scientific men have often declared that
railroad cars aid in spreading pulmonary
diseases by means of the bacilli coming
from consumptive passengers, which lodge
in the dust of the cars. According to the
experiments of DR.. w. Prausnity, a Ger
man physician, this danger, however,. is
not SO great as many would have us be-
lieve. A few months ago the doctor, with
the aid of patent instrument, collected
large quantities Of dust from the floors;
been used by consunptives on the journey
from Berlin to Italy. This dust was in
jected under the skins of seventeen guinea
pigs. The animals were killed ten weeks
later. Twelve Of them, upon examination.
were found to be entirely healthy. while
only five showed slight symptoms of tuber-
culosis As confinement undoubtedly af-
fected the lungs of the animals, the doctor
comes to the conclusion that the railroad
cars, if properly cleaned at the end OF each
journey, will play no part in spreading the
disease of consumption.
