A Handsome and Neat nisp,ay.

The attention of a TIMES representa-

handsome and neatly arranged display
windows of the Bowdre Shoe Company's
establishment on Jefferson street as
being the most attractive he had seen
in Roanoke. These windows are dec.
Grated every other day and contain the
preStiest and most stylish shoes made.
The windows, however handsome, only
give faint conception of the display
in the interior of the store, which in
itself deserves praise. Besides the
handsome stock, which includes ever,-
thing in the shoe line in every la;e
style and make. the store is beautifully
furnished and is as neat az a ladies'
parlor. Here the purchaser can find
shoes of every description at prices lust
as low as can be sold in Roanoke. The
stock OF ladies slippers in all the latest
styles, shapes and shades is unoues.
tionably the finest largest and bes.
assorted that has ever been displayed
In Southwest Virginia and cannot be
surpassed in the South.

RUMORs come from Washington
that Spain and Brazil are averse to
keeping their reciprocity trade agree
ments with this country, and are
throwing obstacles of one kind and
another in the path of complete sue
cess. Undoubtedly the difficulty
could be overcome without great
deal of trouble, if the authorities at
Washington were disposed to handle
it with little tact, but it is not
probable that they will attempt to
straighten the matter OUT. 1t is their
disposition to undo everything possi-
bic, which was introduced and pro-
noted by the Republicans. In Meir
assault upon the protective system
they much prefer to have reciprocity
out of the way. They have tried all
along to belittle it, and now there is
a chance to get rid of it and place the
responsibility for it's failure upon
other shoulders. But they will not
be able to blind the people in this to
any great extent, and if they take no
steps to make the treaties, which
have been made, successful, but let
them fail by neglect, upon them must
rest the responsibility.

ment of the Allier. This martial per-
sonage is barely 10 centimeters in height.
which is just about % inches, or 2 feet
inches, in our measurement. Little Ber-
nadat came Of age this year and was
summoned to draw his number out Of
the Consumption urn like his fellows Of
the same age, and he gravely presented
himself as hidden. At first, when his
name was called out, it was thought he
was some child who had been brought
in and was told to answer as joke. But
on looking at him again it was seen that
he was a dwarf with slight mustache
AS the top of his head did not reach
to the level of the table on which the urn
was placed, gendarme in attendance
laid hold of him by the collar and lifted
him up to draw his number The father
of this lilliputian soldier, who of course
will not really be made to serve, is a
we'll to do farmer, who is very fond Of
him and has refused several seductive
offers from showmen who have wanted to
exhibit him.-London Views.
