 "When I frat joined our lodge it's con- dition was weak. In it's need Nr. Willis Curtis stuck to it and has been with it since. During his time he has worked for the order in every way in his power. He has done many favors for the
 members of this lodge and the members desire to show their appreciation. During all this time his wife at home was not forgotten. She shared his we'll wishes for the lodge and aided members show their appreciation, Mr. Curtis, by presenting you with these two chairs. One of these is for yourself and the other is for your wife. You may ask why we make a present to your wife. I will tell you. We all know that this will
 be pleasure to your wife, and what is a pleasure to her is pleasure to you. So, Mr. Curtis, this is in testimony of your faithfulness and fidelity"
 Mir. Curtis was completely surprised. He, however, thanked the members in 8
 few happy words.

Why, Oh Why the Delay.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I last week noticed communication in your paper asking why the Winchester Avenue Horse Railroad company did not start their cars.
 1 have hoped there would appear some satisfactory reply. None being forthcom- ing, I, as one of many appeal once more for infeSmation as to why there is no progress madei I am fully convinced tha: there was never more long suffering community than live on this route. We are the only part of the city unprovided with some means of reaching the center. And yet from beginning to end of the line it is thickly settled with people, few of whom have any way of getting to and from the business portion except by walk ing.
 Three years' ago these cars were prom ised us, but nothing was done until last November. Now after laying the track as far as the corner of Chapel street again we are left with hope deferred. I really think our last stall is worse than the first, it is certainly more exasperating.
 Why, oh why cannot the company be persuaded to run their cars at least as far as the track is laid and give transfer to connect with their own line below Trinity churche What is one block to people who now are obliged to drag their weary feet twelve or fourteen?

Fire on Howard Avenue.

At little before o'clock last evening
 an alarm was sent from box 62, corner of
 Park and South streets. The fire was
 found to be in the sub-cellar of MT. E. H.
 Buffers residence, 547 Howard avenue.
 How it started is not definitely known,

To TIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: In con-
nection with the various suggestions
you have made in regard to raising
funds for the Decennial Celebration, all
of which have read with interest, has
the adoption OF some method, similar. to
that used by the larger cities at the
time funds were collected for the Johns
town flood sufferers, occurred to YOU,
whereby a depository would be located
at some principal point in the city and
allow the public to make contributions
in cash? You may recollect that large
glass globes were used for this purpose
Oh the said occasion above referred to,
and why could not the same method be
adopted at time Of rejoicing? It oc-
ours to the writer that many who can
not afford to place their names on the
subscription lists for any considerable
amount, would probably be inclined to
drop their mite in public depository
and thus have chance to help also.
Roanoke, among its visitors, CONNER
cial and otherwise, must have friends
who would also help in this direc ton,
but who cannot we'll be approached with
q subscription list. A LADY READER.
