AN ANNIVERSARY EDITION.


THE TIMES has been reading the
signs. 1t has pored over hugo array
of facts. 1t has studied the situation
And it has arrived at unanimous YER
dict, backed by all the evidence, that
Roanoke and Southwest Virginia are at
the threshold, we'll within the doorway,
of long period of active. solid develop
ment and marked prosperity.
There will be an aggregate of enor-
nous sums of money sent in for invest
ment. 1t will be moro evenly distri-
buted than in previous years, and for
that we may all be thankful. 1t will be
more conservative. Instead of starting
more new towns it will be content to
enter towns and cities which have al
ready demonstrated their financial
solidity.
Instead of ninc-tenths going into
land the investor will buy up second
and third payment trust notes at profit
able discounts. He will purchase stocks
and bonds in safe enterprises from over
loaded holders and divide the profits.
He will build moro railroad tracks, cars
and locomotives. New industries will
start into life. The older ones which
have proven prof table will increase and
extend.
Vast sums will GO into building
houses and business blocks, into estab-
fishing lines of trade, into developing
the field of municipal improvements.
The city and section will grow from the
i'll proportions and ungainlincss of
youth ard new developments into SYM
smetry and an even fullness.
Seeing these things clearly, THE TIMES
is about to undertake an important
task-a duty. One year ago the 10th of
September TIE TINES appeared for the
first time as an cight-pago daily paper.
1t has had year of phenomenal prog
ross, increase and rosperity. In celc-
bration of it's anniversary THE TINES
will print on Monday, September 20, an
ANNIVERSARY EDITION of $4,000 copies,
which will be in every respect the most
notable edition ever published in the
State of Virginia-and THE TIMES al
ways does what it promises it will.
This edition will contain u history Of
THE TIMES, write-up of Roanoke and
OF Southwest Virginia. 1t will set forth
in graphic manner the forces which
have made tho city and the section the
marvels of decade. 1t will contain
probably twenty four pages OF descrip-
tIon and illustration and may run to
thirty-two.
THE TINES ANN1vERsAKY EDITION
will be work Of typographical and il
Illustrative art. 1t will be placed in the
hands of every man who has invested
dollar in Roanoke or Southwest Vir-
ginia. and their names are Legion. 1t
will be circulated all over the civilized
world wherever blow can be struck
for the good of this section.

An Old Biscuit.

An ex-Confederate soldier resid-
ing in Carroll County exhibited a
biscuit at the Hico reunion recent
ly that was baked during the war.
Who knows but what it was baked
in the same skillet with the one ex-
hibited by Hon. John M. Taylor at
the reunion in this county two
years ago. These two veterans re-
siding in adjoining counties could
have hastily divided a meal in prep
aration on sudden signal to adj
vance-the boys never retreated
only when they were outnumbered
about five to one.
