the postmaster general. asking for the es-
adjustment of postothce at that place to
he known as the Forest Beach postot'ce.
t,oose Rocks summer resort offers
plenty of attraction to the perennial pleasure
seeker but the word is misnomer. Re
peated inquiries and the most careful search
on the part of visitors, have alike failed to
determine the location either of the goose

order to free themselves from the blight Of

more euphonous appellation of Forest

RoAMoKE,s HEALTH.
But Little Sickness and Few
Deaths in the Magic City.

Although the month of March has
been unusually wet and some OF the
streets and vacant lots have been GOV.
cred with mud and water, the health of
Roanoke was never better than at the
present time.
Oakley s. Woolwine report that the
death rate is very low and will compare
favorablv with any city OF this size in
the country. G. w. Slsler, funeral d.
rector. said the death rate is lower now
than ever before and the health Of the
city is very good. indeed. A. T. Baker,
the colored undertaken, knew Of only
two deaths among the colored popula-
ton within week, while at this time
last year he had two or three deaths per
day.
Rev. DR.. o. F. Hippo said that there
was no special sickness in his congrega-
ton. Rev. DR.. w. G. Campbell has only
one or two cases of illness in his con-
grepation. The other ministers of the
city have no cases OF serious illness
among their churches.
DR.. John B. Moormnn says the health
OF Roanoke. up until the recent snow
has been better than ever before in it's
history. The health Of this city will
compare very favorably with that of
any city OF twenty five thousand people
in this latitude. Petersburg is the
only town in this section of the South
whose health report can rival Ro-
anoke's. During the epidemic of the
grip, which occurred here in January,
the fatalities were unusually small.
DR.. Kirk remarked that the health OF
the city is very good indeed, and has
been SO for some time. With the ex-
ception of the grip in January, there
has been scarcely any sickness. DR. A..
u. Koiner's opinion is that Roanoke's
health is unusually good, and the city
Is entirely free from anything of an cpl
demic nature. In reply to question
he said, "Fumigating the sewer would
probably be beneficial, but the better
plan would be to clean it out. Cleanli-
ness is the best fumigator."

painfully shocked this morning when they
read the announcement of the death of
Mrs. BOLIVAR ROBERTS, and the melan-
