RENEWED ACTIVITY.

The renewed and wholesome activity
which oharacterizes Roanoke's leading
industries is source of qualification to
the public. The season OF prosperity
is growing, and will continue to grow
into the future.
The Machine shops are running
up to the mark of the flush year OF
1890. The various plants in the West
End are coming into full operation.
The Hardware plant is increasing its
forces week by week, and the Roanoke
Iron Company's rolling mill will star.
Monday. Shipments over the Roanoke
and Southern are increasing in volume,
and receipts from that line show favora-
BILE dimensions.
The danger which seems most immi-
mont is that many Roanokers will not
recognize the return wave of prosperity,
and will miss the golden opportunities
of 1892 by being too slow TO act. Time
must BIO seized by the forel ock this
year.

A CITIZENS srANDpoINT.

We all recognize the power which the
Norfolk and Western has been in devel-
oping the resources Of Virginia. Its
policy has been a wise one, and has
been carried out by long-headed men.
The letter elsewhere addressed to Hon.
nj. O. Thomas by vce-P President Eddy
shows how thoroughly he can divest
himself OF his position as a railroad
man and take up his position as pri-
yate citizen.
The Kent bill, as viewed from the
standpoint of the private citizen and
taxpayer, presents greater objectiona-
BILE features than as an anti-c rporation
measure. for it proposes to paralyze the
productive energies of the State, even
more surely than those of the railroads
themselves.

Furs In Favor.

Moss-green camel's-hair, plain or with
shaggy bars or dots. is combined with
various furs and looks remarkably we'll
with nearly every sort. 1t is extremely
effective and stylish with black fox and
black braiding. or with black astrakhan,
looking brighter and richer by con-
trast. It combines excellently with
mink or senlskin and is in equally good
taste with beaver or lynx. Rolls of fur
as a finish to all the edges of garment
are quite as fashionable as bands or
wide borders Golden-gray beaver is
much used with fawn color and gray
cloth by women of clear complexion
and rich color. The deep. rich shades
of brown are, however, becoming to
more types of faces than any other
color that is made up unrelieved with
other color. Redingotes of golden brown
Velours du Nord are both stylish and
eminently becoming. Cloak dresses
made of this material are slashed ut
the sides, showing petticoats of golden
brown corded silk or India cashmere
figured with small flowers or gray hucd
tufts tinted like autumn leaves Chs

fnrtune, lowered above the happy pair,
just embanking upon the sea OF matri-
mony. After collation. at the residence

FOR THE MAYoRALTY.

The TINES publishes this morning a
petition in favor of the mayoralty candi-
dacy of Mr.. E. G. Pechin, president of
the Commercial Association and general
manager of the Virginia Development
Company. Mr.. Pechin's response will
be awaited with interest.
AS president of the Commercial Asso-
citation, Mr.. Peohin has been thrown
closely in contact with the business
men and business interests of Roanoke.
To his strenuous aud wisely directed
efforts the reviving of the Commercial
Association is due. In the meetings
and committee work of that association
he has shown grasp of business and
administrative affairs which has i'm
pressed itself deeply upon all who have
been oognizant of the facts.
1t is not now opportune to lay before
the public the facts of Mr.. Pechin's
public utility and service. These will
come in due season, provided Mr.. Pechin
will consent to become a candidate.
Suffice it for the present to say that the
fact that public sentiment seeks out a
man of Mr.. Pechin's standing and
known abilities is q hopeful augury of
the right direction OF public thought
toward thoroughly reformed and ad-
vanced municipal administration.

THE LINE OF GOOD ENGLISH.
A School Teacher Says It Ia Along tn
Fortieth Parallel OF Latitude.

A School Teacher Says 1T 10 Along tn.
Fortieth Parallel OF Latitude.
The Cincinnati school teachers were
informed the other day by one of theii
own number that the line of maximum
purity OF speech lies along the fortieth
parallel of latitude. This is an impor.
liant discovery in the geographical al
iotment OF language, and the educator
who made it is entitled to pinnacle
beside that of Columbus, although the
tendency of each district to have it's
own verbal peculiarities is well known.
A college instructor once told his class
that nobody but u New Highlander was
sure to be able to distinguish properly
between shall" and "will." and the
Scotch are SO famous for their weakness
IN this direction that the story is told of
Scotch newspaper man that when ap-
plying for work in London he was
asked: "Have you learned the differ
ence between SHALL and 'wilr?" NO"
he replied sadly, and never will"
The line of the fortieth parallel of
latitude passes through Philadelphia
and Columbus, and near Wheeling and
indianapolis. In order to bring the
average purity language up to the
Cincinnati pedagogue's standard an
excellent article of English must be
spoken elsewhere along the line to
make up for the peculiarities of the
Pennsylvania Dutchmen. who are
reported to use such expressions as
die cou has over the fence gejumpt,"
which the most enthusiastic advocate of
fortieth parallel speech would harshly
defend. In Philadelphia itself certain
queer uses of the mother tongue at once
suggest themselves. The statement
that lady is out in the hall wiping her
gums on the mat becomes less startling
when we know that gums" is Phila-
delphian for rubber overshoes. In this
region, as in the south, suspenders are
known as "galluses and the Rev. Sam
Jones characterize ton of his pugilistic
opponent as a ''one gallus mayor" was
perfectly Ineligible. Just across the
river in New Jersey u tin pail is known
as "bliclscy," while in Philadelphia
itself the fayoritc pronunciation of
my Is me"
If we must look to Columbus, Wheel
ing and indianapolis for lessons in En-
glish, some remarkable phrases will be
forced upon us We will no longer
throw stones, but "heaye dornicks;" we
must learn the meaning of "faze;" we
will say fright when we mean very
"bucket" for pail" and even for
'coal-hod;" commit the unnautical act
of going "boat-riding" instead of boat
ing and stop guessing" in order to
''reckon;" watch out" will take the
place of '1ook out" Worse yet, we
must reconcile ourselves to that present
nightmare of a phrase: 1T looks like it
was going to rain"
On the whole, there is reason to
question the accuracy of the Cincinnati
teachers dictum. No doubt there are
plenty of solccisms peculiar to regions
north of the fortieth parallel. but until
we have better security than Bar
dolph's for the elegance of diction
along that line, the theory which the
Ohio pedagogucs accepted with enthu-
siastic approval will find few adherents
along the northern frontier Buffalo

1he meek man walked slowly to the
back platform, followed by the student
of human nature. In his rush to get out
of the car, this confidential philosopher,
who is determined that you shall not
read your paper after he finishes his,
trod on the toe Of the man whom he
had been studying. The man raised
his shoulder and threw the philosopher
over to the other side of the car, then
turning to the conductor said:

Now that the music festival is over peo.
pie will once more begin q oundo of gayety.
The school and college commence ents
are interesting many and the public ex-
aminations are attracting friends, who an
tjcIpate the success of their particular
fsvorite. The weddings announced for
June are numerous. Among them are those
of Miss Lille May Orner to Mr.. William
III. Bockstahler. Miss Camilla Walker and
Mr.. Howard A. Dill. Miss Birdie McKerpan
and Mr.. McMorrow. Miss Burnett Bloomer
and Mr.. Horatio Kelsey. Miss Edith Kahn
and Mr.. Steifel of Fort Wayne. Miss Hattie
Weed and Mt. Willard F. Cox. Miss Daisy
White and Mr.. Harry Porter. Miss Grace
Adams and Mr.. Frank Wood. Miss Kate
Shepard and Mr.. s. A. Townsend. Miss
Cara Atkins and Mr. A. D.. Gates of Chi
csgo. Miss Harriet Atkins and q gentleman
of Colorado Springs, Miss Ella Sullivan
and Mr.. John Heffern. Miss Ora wilkins and
Mr.. Lash. and a few others not yet an
nounced. As weddings are the most alb.
sorbing events, before. at the time and
after the ceremony, the social world will
be submerged with gossip relative to the
occurrences. Whether zach one will cling
to the old adage and wear
something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue,
is q matter which usually falls to the best
friend or maid of honor to attend to. The
duties of o maid OF honor and best man are
an art in themselves. It 10 to be hoped
that no best man will allow the embar-
RAISING situation which one did not long
since. The bride and her maids arrived
at the church at the appointed hour
and after arranging themselves proceeded
up the aisle, ito the strains of the Wedding
march," They reached the cbancel, but the
minister, groom and best man were not
there to meet them. A half minute. q whole
minute. and then two, three and four
minutes passed. and just as the fifth minute
began its career they appeared. Four
minutes at such o time was like unto q
thousand years" The agony endured was
something never TO be forgotten. The
minister had q previous engagement which
barely gave him time to get to the church
at 8 O'Clock. and q very small delay almost
wrecked the good temper of the bride and
happiness of the occasion. If the best man
had understood his duty it could not have
occurred.
