note in 1893 will not DO less than in
1899 and probably considerably in excess.
AS to the increase Of the Roanoke
Machine Works forecast in TIE TIMES
recently, wo would ask tho doubters the
following question; If tho shops were
mono too largo TO furnish equipment
whom the road extended only from
Norfolk to Bristol, with tho Poca-
hontas branch as it's only considerable
oiIshoot, with loss than COO miles of
main track, how much larger should
they be to supply additional equipment
for the Shenandoah Valley division,
239 miles; tho Lynchburg ond Durham
division, 113 miles; tho Winston Salon,
lei miles; tho North Carolina division,
Is miles; the Clinch Valley division,
103 miles; the Ohio Extension and Scicto
Valley division, 34i miles, n total in
crease in mileage CT over 500 miles, and
with q coal tonnage which has doubled in
five years?
Secondly, which is better, to buy cars
from Pullman OH twenty years time at
G per cont. or to sell 100 year bonds
bearing per cent. and build equipment
at Roanoke. There are somo things
which do not need Z fish plate certificate
fastened with railroad tie, and sealed
with n car coupler to be evident.

OUR BUILDING EDITION.

THE TIMES BUILDING EDITION is
making rapid progress toward the day
OF publication. 1t will be splendid
exposition of the still more splendid
growth OF Roanoke in 1892. We believe
that it will forecast strong revival OF
business in all branches early this sea-
son. There are plenty of signs to ju stify
the prediction.
No city of any considerable spirit re.
manned III condition of depression
three full years. Roanoke's stagnation
has been confined to speculative real
estate operations, and tho monetary
stringency due to the necessarily enor.
nous use of money to pay real estate
notes, which would have otherwise re.
manned in the regular channels of trade.
Still it will be found that the real estate
transfers of 1892 have been largely in
excess OF the demands for building lots
for that year, showing that the demands
the future have been anticipated to
large extent.
The plans for operations for 1893 are
still largely formative. SO much dc.

with the Norfolk and Western railroad

EDIToR OF THE HERALD-In your
Sunday edition we noticed card signed
by j. 4. Smith. K. A. Stow and f. j.

Reeds lake resorts. OF which we are,
and We think Grand Rapids is, justly
proud. A quotation from the card re-
ferred to reads as follows: I'VE under

too much OF gentleman to resort to
such untruthful statements as the one
quoted above. by reference to the let

that very few OF the liquor men are con-
tributors 10 that alleged fund, ana the
perusal Of the same will show that the

AN ARLE EFFORT.
A Credltable Entertainment Given by the
Pupils OF UniOh school, at the Opera
House, Last night.

A Creditable Entertainment Given by the
Pupils of UniOh school, at the Opera
House, Last Nig,ht.
Last evening She Opera House was
the scene of lar sc AsSemblage, called
out 10 witness thet entertainment given
by the pupils OF pnOn school, under
the auspices Of PROT. }, NJ. Hammond
and his efficient corps Of teachers. The
children performed their assigned parts
In a manner which rejects deserved
credit upon the school.
At S o'clock the programme opened
with the anvil Chorus" In which the
best voices Of the entire school were
represented, and all seemed TO blend in
perfect harmony.
Jolly JokerS," a dialogue in which
four young boys took part, was the
next number. Each boy spoke dis
tinctly, and their performance provoked
much merriment throughout the audi
ence.
a vocal solo entitled, what will you
take for me, papa" by Maize Jacobs,
little Miss OF not more than
eight or nine summers, was
received with applause. Her
voice while tender, managed to, pene-
trate through the audience enough TO
compel her 10 respond to an encore.
The Flower Drill, in which fully fifty
little girls, attired In various COSTUMES
TO represent flowers, performed some
very pretty evoIutionS.
Miss Stella Kraus followed with
recitation entitled Annette" She DIS
played considerable elocutionary ability
in her rendition of the piece.
The Doll Song, in which selectionA
from the comic operas wang" aud "A\
Trip 70 Chinatown" were sung and
brought forth loud applause.
The Children's Crusade Against the
Sultan Of SulkydOwn" was the next
number on the programme. The affair
represented number Of children be-
decked in different garb, and was re-
plete with bright and sparkling music.
David Crawford took the part OF the
Sultan.
Messrs. William Merchant and
Charles Israel In their colloQuy entitled
Trying the Characters" deserved the
plauditS they won.
Miss Laura Schlosser's rendition Of
'Mrs. O'Toole and the Conductor" was
excellent; her impersonation OF the Irish
brogue was great.
The entertainment closed with
pleasing operetta-''A Merry Compa-
ny" during which Mr.. viii Merchant
drilled twenty boys in manner which
would have done credit to an expert
enced drill-master.
