SETTLE THE DEBT.

Public sentiment in Virginia is I'M
doubtedly in favor OF the settlement of
the State debt. Public meetings are
being held in many of the cities and
towns of the State to hear expressions
of opinions On this subject, and so far
the voice of opposition has not been
heard.
Not only from public meetings and
organizations of business men, but also
from prominent citizens, individually,
in every part Of the State come express
sion, in favor Of Virginia's breaking
the shackles that have hindered her
progress.
The resolutions adopted last night by
the Commercial Association in reference
to this matter voices the sentiment of
the citizens of Roanoke.
If there are any people who should be
unanimous on this subject, it is the
people OF Southwest Virginia, for this
section will not fail to receive its
full share Of the benefits that will
result from the settlement of the
debt, and there should be large attend
ence at next Tuesday nights public
mass meeting. Let every citizen raise
his voice in behalf of Virginias ad-
vancenent.

ROANOKE AND WINSTON.

The resolution favoring suitable
celebration of the completion of the
Roanoke and Southern railroad,
adopted by the Commercial Association
last night, is timely. This will be one
of theimportant events in the history
of Roanoke and the day should be at
tended with such ceremonies as will
make it stand out prominently in the
city's annals.
Winston is looking with longing eyes
toward Roanoke, and will stretch out
friendly hand as her acquaintance with
Roanoke grows moro intimate. Winston
is alive to the mutual Importance that
this acquaintance must be, and is al
ready beginning to talk about celebra-
ton at that end of the line with a
thousand dollar supper to the news
paper men and a few other prominent
citizens of Roanoke, as a nero side show
to the affair
The time is approaching when the
important event will occur and there is
not much time for delay of propara-
tions. Roanoke and Salem never do
things by halves, and the THE TIMES
suggests that they act together in this
matter. The grand success that follows
united effort will be inevitable. Let the
Commercial Association take the next
step by appointing a committee to confer
with the Winston Chamber of Com
merce in regard to arrangements.

Cotton Market.

For the past day or two the cot
ton market has shown a slight up
ward tendency, cotton that only
brought u at the opening of the
season selling for eight cents, and
in CONSCIENCE the receipts have been
considerably augmented amounting
to over 600 bales here Saturday,
The total receipts up to Saturday
night went beyond 5000 bales, which
for an interior cotton market we
dare say has not been excelled by
any place of this size in the State.
Cotton buyers are of the opinion
that the price will depreciate in
September, but we cant see any
reason why it should, as it is now
becoming more and more evident
every day that the crops are short.

WINE OF cARpy! for Weak Nerves.
IN MENIORIUM.

Mr.. W. 81. Cleveland, whose
funeral took place here Friday
afternoon, was one of the Oldest set
lers of Texas, and a pioneer of the
Baptist church. He helped organize
the first Missionary Baptist church
ever established in Texas, and was q
member of the first Baptist Associa-
ton, not single one of whom now
survives. They have been passing
away for years, narrowing down the
number until Mr.. Cleveland alone
was the only surviving member, and
now that death has laid its icy hand
upon him, and removed him from the
cares of this vain world after long
life spent in the unequal struggle for
existence, only the history of the first
work of this church which he helped
establish now remains, but he lived
to see it grow~to the magnificent
proportions Of more than 100000 in
Texas before his death, and passed
away firm defender of the faith af-
ter having been member more than
so years, revered by all who knew
him. He was an honest man,
which is said to be the noblest
work of God. Simple in his habits
circumspect in his life walk, a kind
husband an indulgint father, good
neighbor, a consistent christian
gentleman, and it could be appro-
priately said of him that Father
in Israel has gone to his reward"

The colored folks are trying to
make arrangements for an excursion
to Oklahoma. This is a pretty good
scheme for them inasmuch as there
has been talk of an exodus of col
ored people from here there. By
getting up an excursion they will
have an opportunity of taking a
peep at the country before going
there to settle, and we are of the
opinion that they viii come back
better satisfied than ever with their
old homes. As a rule negroes
raised in an agricultural country,
where cotton raising is the leading
crop, are never satisfied to get away
into q country where the conditions
me different. By going up there
on an excursion they will see that
there is no more for them there than
here and viii return better satisfied
to remain.
