His Rise.

He bought brand new pair Of shoes,
He thought he'd get some spats;
He then discovered that he lacked
The latest thing In hats.
He bought one. Then his trousers bagged;
He ordered two new pair,
And then. strange fact! he noticed that
His coat was quite threadbare.
He bought another. Then he saw
Some wastcoats, Just the thingi
He had to get some ties to match;
He bought diamond ring.
He joined three clubs. He bought horse,
Then changed it for team;
He bought sailing yacht at first,
And then moved up to steam.
He bought these things, and many moro,
This man so great and wise;
For during his career he had
The sense to advertise.

COMMERCIAL FIELD.

| In the vast rush of manufacturing en-
terprises to Southwest Virginia, it
should never be forgotten for moment
that the importing population must be
fed, clothed and housed. To obtain
and distribute tho supplies for this
triple-headed necessity is tho mission
of commercial houses.
Roanoke is peculiarly and advantage
ously situated to command tho COM
merco of vast extent of territory.
She has been hitherto n manufacturing
city, but her wholesale merchants can
turn their ponderous ledgers and show
balances which will command respect.
The field is yet wide open for numcr
GUS other Wholesale houses in nearly
every branch. The territory is so ex-
tensive that competition is not yet an
element. Where in other cities rivalry
would be engendered, hero hearty
welcome is extended to new establish
ments. The Wholesale merchants OF
Roanoke are themselves the ones who
call attention to the opportunities
offered.
Roanoke offers the best opportunity
in the South for wholesale boot and
shoe house. 1t would be tho profitable
center for Wholesale ready made
clothing house. lumber yard on
vast scale, which should do more than
supply local trade, would b. a bonanza.
An establishment devoted exclusively
to heavy municipal supplies, such as
paving materials, gas, water and sewer
pipes, would have field unequalled in
any part of the country
Here are opportunities which arc free,
which do not even need the asking.
Come and help yourselves. Opportuni-
ties are Southwest Virginia specialtics.

THE WORLD,S FAIK.

The news comes from Washington

these States which declared their in
tentions of not aiding the Worlds Fair

to do double duty in assisting in what is
to be a magnificent and American expo-
position.

the opinions of several citizens of Roam

are unanimously in favor of sending the
Old Dominion to the Chicago exposition
with series of exhibits which shall
set forth the electric splendor of her in
dustrial achievements in such blaze of
glory that the whole country may look
up to Virginia with pride and affection
At present plans may remain IN tho
background. Sentiment is what the
situation demands. The people OF Vir-
ginia must become unit to the end de-
sired. State love and pride must be
appealed to. 1t is the duty OF every

In commenting upon the bad blood
and heart-burnings experienced by
the Democratic machine bosses in
Milwaukee over the campaign for
Judge between Austin and Ludwig
The Sentinel of the 9th inst. has the
following:
Chris. Koerner was not to be inter
viewed yesterday. He felt the defeat
worse than his friend Mr.. Ludwig.
How Mr.. Koerner is thought of of
late among his followers, the follow
ing remarks of August Kieckhefer will
Illustrate:
The people in the North side wards
know him now through and through.
By going into the Democratic conven-
ton to nominate Ludwig he has re-
vealed himself as the demagogue that
he is. He has always been Demo-
crat at heart. He belonged to the
Republican party AS long as it suited
him, and he has now returned to his
old affiliations. This was illustrated
best by his presence at the Demo
cratic convention and as a result the
Lutherans said: we shall follow him
no longer The Lutherans are still
Republicans, and Koerner ought to
have thought of it. He should have
thought also that they will never
again allow themselves to be led into
a trap"

IN the course Of an article headed
"Revolt in all directions" The Senti-
mel says:
In Wisconsin the same spirit begins
to show itself, although somewhat
differently The rule Of the pair Of
opera bouffe party kings from Mil
waukee, as displayed at Madison for
the last three months, has aroused
the feeling Of resentful and contempt
uous contumacy on the part of their
subjects, the consequence OF which
has been the election to the Superior
ard to the Supreme bench Of the men
whom the organs declared ought not
to be elected, and to defeat the par
ticular candidate for judicial position
whose success was most ardently de-
sired by the two comic opera kings.
These results are none the less salts
factory because somewhat unex-
pected. The Democracy is as much a
menace to enlightened progress on &C
count of the facility with which its
rank and file may be blindfolded and
driven into acts unknown to them
selves, as for any other reason, and
any signs of disaffection among them
is therefore welcomed as symptom
of possible healthy reaction. For
this reason fluctuations are in order
at this time.

Observing ArbOr Day.

The state superintendent has sent
Arbor day, May l, may be observed.
He recommends that pupils, under di-
rection of the teacher, put the grounds,
fences, etc., in order during this month
preparatory to setting out trees May l..
A programme of literary exercises
should be arranged for Arbor day, to
precede the actual setting out of trees.
''The number of trees to be planted, !"
the circular says, "should be previous
ly determined, the excavations made,
the trees secured and the names to be
given them selected. There will re-
main the placing of the trees and the
accompanying exercises. The trees
should be dedicated to and given the
name of some distinguished American,
or the names of the earliest settlers Of
the community. A part of the exer-
cises at each should be the recital by
some pupil of brief sketch ofthe pub
lie service of the person whose name it
is to bear" The governors proclaim
alton calls attention to a prize of 81 900
to be awarded to schools for progress
in tidiness and decoration of grounds.
This prize is divided into seventy parts
so that one school under the jurisdic
ton of each superintendent may have
a share. Directions for planting trees
and caring for them are embodied.
