HOUSEHOLD T

In taking up bulbs such us dahlias,
tuberoses, ETC., it is very important that
they should be thoroughly dried before
putting them away for winter. DaIlias
require less drying than any other kind,
but these should have all the soil which
may adhere to them when taken from
the ground shaken Off and then exposed
to dry atmosphere until they shrivel a
little before being packed away. Tube
roses it almost impossible to dry too
much without one puts them in the
oven. Ii not thoroughly dried they are
very liable to gather moisture during
winter, after which mould'and decay
Don follow. Put all such bulbs into
small cloth bags then hang up in a dry,
warm room, or spread thinly upon
shelves in 4 dry cellar. Examine all
bulbs frequently during tho winter, and
il too wet bring out and dry. 1t some
times occurs that dahlies will become
too dry, and 4 sprinkling OF water is
necessary, but this will seldom be the
case when kept in the cellar.

Does any n wonder at the great de-
%velopment and growth of this section of
Virginia that is fast spreading through.
out the borders Of the Old Dominion?
The causes of it all were brought out
at the Rivermont banquetin L%ynchburg
last night. The facts there stated, the
sentiments expressed which are lived
up to and the enterprise thel displayed,
explain the mystery and strengthen the
conclusion of those thoroughly CONVEX
amt with the situation that there are
greater and more wonderful things in
the future soon to be revealed.
The Rivermont Company has set q
good example that should servo to
arouse the capital Of L%ynchburg to
greater efforts for tho advancement of
Lynchburg's interests. The Rivcrmont
Company has done much for Lynchburg,
and is just getting ready to do greater
and better work. The event last night
will result in incalculable good to the
city, ard it's influence will be felt
throughout Virginia.

LEADS.

The long article prepared by Robert
2. Porter, superintendent of the census,
pointing out the wonderful material
progress made by the South in the last
ten years, challenging, as he says, tho
attention and admiration of the world,
serves to show that no town in the
South, during the last decade. has
equalled Roanoke in comparative in
crease of population.
In pointing out striking Illustrations
of the material progress made by the
South since 1880, Mr.. Porter names An
niston, Ala, that in 1880 had n popula-
tion Of 042, is returned by the census of
1890 as containing 9,S76 Inhabitants;
Birmingham, Ala, unknown when the
census of 1870 was taken, and which in
1880 had a population of 3,OS6, grown in
1880 to a fourishing city OF &c, IT'S in
habitants, and is, in fact, a centre of in
dustrial activity of $4,000 people; Flor
ence, Ala, with a population in 1890 of
1884 or 330 per cent. greater than in
1880; Chattanooga in 1890 had a popula-
tion of 90, 100, an increase during the
decade of moro than l25 per cent; Roa-
noke, Va, which did not appear at all
in the census of 1850, is now a city of
16. 159 inhabitants.
The only city comparing in per cent.
Of growth with Roanoke is Birmingham.
Taking the census returns of the num-
Der of inhabitants within the corporate
limits, and making no allowance for
suburban population, Roanoke's per
CEN of growth is much larger.
Two years ago Roanoke was compared
with Admission, Ala. The census gives
Admission 9,S7G, showing that Roanoke
is nearly twice as large, according to
the census estimates Of both towns.
There might have been some comparison
IN 1885 or 1899, but Roanoke grows.
There is lots of reading to be done be-
tween the lines in Mr.. porter's s.atc-
mcnt, Roanoke, Va, which did not
appear at all in the census of 1880, is
now a city Of 16, $50 inhabitants"
The census was taken nearly twelve
months ago. Toanoke to-day has from
10000 to $4,000 inhabitants. A great
deal has been said about the wonderful
growth OF Roanoke, but there is not an.
other town in the Soth, progressive as
the section has been during the last ten
years, which did not appear in tho
census of 1880, and which has a ~popula.
ton equal to that of Roanoke.

A Progressive Wan

Yesterdays Washington Post.
Among those who stopped at the Ar
lington yesterday was Col. Charles q.
Eddy, first vice-president of tho Norfolk
and Western Railroad, who has had his
headquarters at Roanoke. lie is in
reality the chief executive officer of the
road in Virginia and is a progressive
man of business, impressed with the
belief that in developing the country
tributary to it he is adding to the value
of the road. 1t is largely due to his
energy, foresight and administrative
ability that the great awakening has
taken place during the past year or
eighteen months in Southside Virginia
and in the Valley. Wherever the road
has touched a good central point there
a railway station has bloomed into a
manufacturing town, and the older
towns and cities through which it passes
have been infused with new life. Col.
Eddy not only devotes himself to the
interest of the railroad, but has found
time to inspire newspaper articles in
the interest of the development OF Vir-
pinia.
