The tax lists are about all in the
hands OF Revenue Commissioners Turner,
but have not yet been compiled. Some
figures are obtainable, however, which
show the growth OF Roanoke the past
year. All the increase in taxable values
is really in improvements to roal estate,
in houses, business blocks, etc. AS the
assessments average about &c per cent.
of the total values it is safe to assume
that the net increase in tho value of
buildings in Roanoke up to May 1, 1898,
is over 100000.
i. Following arc the figures showing the
increase in realty taxable values by

sermon If this convocation. His sub
ject was, GLOW TO become true gentle-
men or ladies' He said the spiritual
life was the highest, the spirit being
superior to mind. Whatever effects the
soul effects the entire man. Hence the
necessity of making our life more
spiritual. The end and aim Of religion
is to spiritualize every phase of our
life. The terms "ladY" and 'gentlemen"
stand for tho highest development in
our social life. During this nineteenth
century, money has in tho minds of
many become the sina qui non of a
gentle man. Il is on this line that the
devil works. Money and education fur
nish splendid opportunities for a man
to become gentleman, yet they alone
never II ade one; neither did ignorance
and poverty. The way to become re-
fined ladies or gentlemen is by the
religion Of Jesus Christ. We make
ourselves good and great in proportion
as we make others good and great. 1t
is by charity, the oppo ,ition of proud
covetousness, that the simple cottage
woman may become true lady just as
much SO as she who dwells in palace.
Charity is the only true mark OF gen.
tleman or lady.

DismantIing tho Lamps.

Speaking about gas matters, while it
is true that the gas posts and lamps
belong to the Gas and Water Company,
1t is doubtful if the Gas and Water
Company has any right to dismantle
them, as it is doing, without orders
from Council The city has to pay for
maintaining them in repair, and it may
be economy to have the glass tops re-
moved. but in case Of any accident to

The young ladies Of the Girls High

against the action of School Director Hyde

teacher of the high school, and abolishing
that feature OF the curriculum.
The girls sentiments on the question are

result an indignation meeting was held last
night In Pioneer Hall.
A number Of the young ladies, together
with their parents. we're present, and sew
eral indignant protests were made.
Said eX-School Director Shew: 81 con-
