Big DeaIs for '09-'O3.

There is no business which admits of
so many wonderful innovations as the
theatrical business. The present age
might appropriately be styled "the real
istic." Men with vast capital have en-
tered the field and their rivalry and
spirited competition have called forth
the most astounding results. The pub
lie crave amusemenJs as one of the mos t
essential necessities of life, and are so
thoroughly educated as to the merits OF
what is good or bad that it pays best to
cater to them by presenting only what
is certain to be stamped as 20. X

recently, we would ask tho doubters the
following question: II tho shops wore
mono too largo to furnish equipment
whom the road extended only from
Norfolk 10 Bristol, with tho Poca-
hontas b.anch as it's only considerable
oifshoot, with less than COO miles of

Valley division, 344 miles, total in
crease in mileage of over 500 miles, and
with coal tonnage which has doubled in

OUR BUILDING EDITION.

THE TIMES BUILDING EDITI0N is
making rapid progress toward the day
OF publication. 1t will be a splendid
exposition of the still moro splendid
growth of Roanoke in 1892. We believe
that it will forecast strong revival of
business in all branches early this sea-
SOC. There are plenty OF signs to justify
the prediction.
NO city of any considerable spirit re-
NAMED in condition of depression
three full years. Roanoke's stapnation
has been confined to speculative real
estate operations, and the 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 bnildinp lots
for that year. showing that the demands
the future have been anticipated to a
large extent.
The plans for operations for 1893 are
still largely formative So much do.
Ponds upon the developments connected
with the Norfolk and Western railroad
that it is too carly 10 come down to de-
tails as to the particular effect upon the
growth of Roanoke. In general way
1T is safe to say ghtt Tho growth OF Roa-
noke in 1898 will not b" less than in
1892 and probably considerably in excess.

LIVELY TIMES AHEAD.

One Of the banking institutions of
Roanoke has received $4,000 on special
deposit within the past week on very
favorable terms, and this sum is already
making its way into the channels OF
trade. One Of the National banks has
since the first of February received an
offer from New York of rediscounts for
100000 worth of Roanoke paper, but
as yet the offer has not been accepted.
This is good evidence of the strength of
Roanoke's financial standing in the
money centers.
a well-known trust company not re-
ferred to above reports that for tho past
four weeks it's deposits have steadily
increased, and tho indications are that
still greater increases are looked for
from now on.
1t is generally reported from trust
companies and private holders that
where five land notes were held a year
ago not over two are held now, and that
from now on clearances will be effected
mora rapidly than ever.
With opening weather and tho gen.
eral resumption of outdoor work there
will be an improvement of tho business
situation OF decided character
Every leading industry in Roanoke re.
ports an encouraging outlook for the
spring. The city will spend 500, 600 on
public improvements in 1898. Various
corporations contemplate extensions
and improvements OF many times this
amount, and when the energies which
have been directed to liquid ating land
notes are turned in the direction OF
commerce and industry something will
hustle.
There are lively times ahead.

AnIncorrect stntement.

The statement made IN the Evening
World that Mountjoy tho man who was
present at the time Nellie Hendricks
killed herself Sunday night, did not
surrender himself but was arrested, is
untrue. AS soon as Mountjoy arrived
in the city Monday night he approached
officer Norman, on Railroad avenue,
and said he wished to give himself up,
as he understood he was wanted by the
authorities. Norman told him he
knew OF no warrant having been issued
for him and advised him to see the
sergeant. Mountjoy went to police
headquarters but Sergeant Griffin was
not there and he waited until the officer
returned. When he came in Mountioy
repeated tho remark he had made to
Norman and the sergeant informed
him that warrant had been issued for
him on tho charge of carrying concealed
weapons. Mountjoy left collateral for
his appearance. The case was called
yesterday morning, but on account of
the absence of witnesses was continued
until this morning. A TIMES reporter
saw Sergeant Griffin and Officer Merri-
man and they both said that the above
statement is correct.
