On the 25th instant the city Of Roam
oko will be visited by lightweight per-
sons, the members of the Juniata Pross
Association OF Pennsylvania and their
wives, children and swcethoarts. Tho
visitors will stay here several days and
will prac tically be the guests OF the
city, as the City Council adopted resolu-
tions inviting them hero and extending.
to them tho freedom of the city during
their visit.
President James A. Pugh, OF tho Vir-
GINA Press Association, has appointed
press committee and President Buck
ner, of the City Council, will also APP
NO programme has as yet been arranged
for tho occasion, but one will undoubt-
edly be decided upon in q few days.
Several suggestions have already been
made as to tho manner in which the
visitors should be entertained during
their stay. One of them Is that an OK
roast be held at the top of Mill Noun
tain. This would DO novel ana onioy-
able affair and would undoubtedly
please tho Juniata's very much. In adj
dition to Il fine dinner they would have
- AS'' iiOhi AVN VIZ bOp VI buO
tain that would, in itself, repay them
for their trip. OF course, this idea can
only be executed if the weather is good.
Another suggestion is that they be
rendered reception and ball. There
arc several large halls in the city that
could be used for such purpose 1t
has also been suggested that banquet
DC given in honor Of the guests.
The Commercial Association and tho
Real Estate Exchange also extended
tho newspaper men an invitation to
visit the Magic City Of the South and
there is no doubt that the visitors will
be royalty entertained. 1t is ted
that the reception committee will meet
them at some point on the Shenandoah
Valley road and escort them to the city.
While hero they will be CHARTERED at
tho Ponce de Leon Hotel.
The association will visit Salem dur
ing their stay here and an excursion NAV
DO made to some OF the famous springs
IN the immediate neighborhood, but
that is matter that will be decided
upon later. At all events it is safe to
predict that the guests will enjoy their
visit horc.

THE CITY MARKET.
Some Good Work for the Committee on
Health.

Health
The recent law passed by the City
Council compelling the hucssters OF tho
market to haul away the rubbish which
accumulated under their wagons has
wholesome effect.
MIR. Rulc, the assistant market clerk
said yesterday that prior to the enforce
ment of tn , law from three to four wa rOn
loads of filth had to be hauled away
each day by the city. Now it hardly
averages half 3 load.
During the past week 1,OO7 wagons
paid curbage tax at the market. Tho
accumulation OF decayed fruit was yerv
great, but the law was enforced with
cucn good effect that the cutters were
kept pretty clean.
But there arc several Other places
that need attention. The alley between
the market house and Workman's store
sends out IA strong, unwholesome odor.
1t is not draint for lack OF proper
grading.
The water closet attached to tho roar
of the market is in Il dcplorable oondi.
tlon The sewer connections arc mad
equate and fail To work. The floor is
covered with water, and, despite the use
OF lime and frequent washing out, tie
place will present sickening and uE-
wholesome appearance until the prop,r
sewer connections are made.
MIR. Davis and Mr. Rule are both u,g-
ing the health committee to provide he
closet with arrangements like those
at tho Roanoke Machine Works.
Should this be done the place may Le
kept perfectly clean.
There are are several drains in tho
brick paved floor which have been
choked and tho water used for washing
OF the floor stands in great puddles, to
the annoyance of the stall renters.
The floor has been undermined byrats
to such an extent that in many places it
has sunk from three to six inches. In
front of the stalls the bricks are in such
condition that customers who drop
money never find it again. 1t becomes
the property of q horde OF hungry rats.
The stall renters think that il the in
terror OF the market was whitewashed
the transformation would be wonderful.
1t would add to both the appearance and
health, besides making it very much
lighter.
Mr.. Huff, chairman Of the health con-
mittee, is turning mis- attention to the
market and in a short time will have
the sanitary condition OF that place
much improved.
