Express Office Changes.

I. c. Campbell, superintendent of the
Southern Express Company, some time
ago wrote to w. H. Wade, the agent
here, that there was not enough ex-
press business in Salem to justify run
ming free delivery wagon, After con.
sultation with the board Of trade Mr..
Wade obtained permission from Mr..
Campbell to continue the wagon, pro-
vided the small extra charge of five
cents per package could be collected for
delivery, and this will go into effect
after next Monday. The extra charge
is so small that it is hoped all will pay

to have delivery wagon running here

The local corporators OF the Salem

Salem as corporations will be called
upon for subscription, whilst several
large landowners along the proposed
route of this road, both in Craig and
Roanoke counties, have signihed their
intention of giving material aid.
1t is still hoped that some satisfac tory
arrangements may be made so that
Roanoke will unite with Salem and
Craig, but as vet nothing definite has
been done. OF course everyone feels
that this is big undertaking fol Salem.
but the leaders of the movement are
confident and sanguine they can make
a success of the undertaking. AS soon

most grievous grief of all to aryue

mathematics is an absurtlity, for every
thing is n matter of feet and inches and
squares and rcctanglcs, as they have
observed in furnishing their homes. In

unpleaSantly forced to notice that they
are drawing on their own experience

colonies relative to the shooting Of George

J. II. Hetherington of the United States Navy
Hethcrington will be tried by the American
Consular Court, but the English are Watching
the case very iealousy. and should he be ac-
quilted. or let of with light penalty, there
will be great dissatisfaction and perhaps
trouble. Robinson was very popular among
the English colony. and his friends say there
was no good cause for Hetherington's act.
The case has already led to strained relations
between English and American society in
Jaran. and some OF the leading English have
given the cut direct to their American &C.
ouaintnnces. especially Of the official class.
Hetherington's friends are making efforts to
secure evidence that will place him right in
the eyes of the foreign element and give rem
son for his acIuittal. They hope to prove that
Robinson boosted Of his conIuests OF the other
sex and that Mrs. Hetherington was not his
