You cannot blame the juvenile fingers
that find their way into barrel filled
with our groceries; in fact it would be a
mystery it you could keep them out
If there is anything in the world that
should be sold at popular prices, it is
what goes into the kitchen.
That which you cannot do without
ought to be purchasable at the slightest
possible advance over cost of production
and we are guided by this principle in
every sale we make. Whenever we can
see our way clear to marking down
prices that is what we promptly do.

ROANOKE is SOLID.
a Few Facts Which Prove it
Is So.

Roanoke is solid"
Roanoke will pass through the Anan
cial crisis unscathed."
mo other Southern town can make as
good financial showing as Roanoke"
'"There are fewer protested notes and
trustees sales in Roanoke than any city
in tho Southern states"
These and similar opinions OF Roam.
oke can be heard every day by any man
who is disposed to listen to business
men who are wont to collect together
and discuss the financial situation.
Roanoke is solid and the present
stringency in the money market will not
seriously effect her. Every bank pre-
sents statement that confirms this
opinion. A recent interview with the
officers of our financial institutions
shows that very few notes are allowed
to go to protest and very few are re-dis-
counted.
The president OF a trust company
said: cover $4,000 in notes matured at
my bank in June. A very small per-
centage was rediscounted. Many of
the notes were anticipated by the
makers"
The president Of one OF tho natio aal
banks said: MANY Of the makers of
notes held by my bank arc paying them
before maturing We are asked to re-
new only very small percentage, and
the protests amount to nothing"
interviews with parties named as
trustees to secure deferred payment on
lots ls just as favorable.
No more than one lot in every 500 is
advertised for sale, and not moro than
in nv. ID.
real estate auctioneGr in Roanoke has
next to nothing to do.
These statements are true. We chal-
lenge any man to dispute them.
The future of Roanoke is assured.
Her industries are multipl wing rapidly.
Within the last few days contracts have
been awarded for the erection of build
lngs for the machinery of the Duval
Engine Works. of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and
the Shelf Hardware Plant, OF Norwich,
Conn. The WOODEN mills will be let to
ontract in a few days.
The muck bar and plate mills, near
the West End Furnace, arc about ready
to begin operations.
Tho Roanoke Gas and Water Com
pany are preparing to erect an observa-
tory on Mill Mountain. This is the
forerunner of Il Casino and magnificent
hotel.
Much moro proof OF the progress of
Roanoke could be brought 70, ward, but
1T is not necessary. Property is in de-
mand and there is no decrease in values,
nor is there likely to be.
The shrewd investor who has money
cannot do better than purchase now. l..
IL. Powell 81 Co. have long list of the
most desirable property in any portion
of the city. and carriages for the use of
parties who desire 10 make personal

George Crenshaw, the crazy negro,
presented pitiful plight at police head

He said he had been picking tobacco,
and all he talked about was tobacco.
In cell near by two women were con-
fined for fighting. Ono of them called
to the mayor and said the crazy man
was her father, and told him if he would
let her out she would take him homo
to his wife, who lives near Blue Ridge
