The cool weather makes our farmers, an,
everybody elsa feel bloc. Corn is small an,
stands, IS a rule, very much broken from
cold, drought and bud worms. Cotton look
very web indeed, and stands are good. TIL
oat crop has come ont more than anybod,
expected, and the yield after all, will b.
fairly good. Gathering has commenced, and
they will not be housed before they are YER
much needed. Wheat crop is reported very
poor.
Our people have begun to think abouI
politics anew, and some have requested me t.
say that after talking to some Of thei,
friends, they think a ticket something like
the one suggested by the Narion Star q good
thing. five continue to have two parties
among ourselves We will certainly have
to take a back seat for the Republicans are
doing all they can for Congressman and
Legislators. Just like we said Tillman could
never get in, ve say the Radicals can never
get our State Government again, bus the
work that is being done among taem is
more than some of US care to see. The
eternal Vigilance" is there, and will in
time, if not at this election, have It's reward.
Some Of our best thinking men say they hope
that good may eome to us by Tillman's going
to the o. s. Senate.
There was a picnic at Miss Mary
McLaurin's beautiful place near Wedge6eld on
last Friday. A large crowd attended and the
dinner was superintendent. Several large
baskets were not opened atall ; for the reason
that there was no use for the contents.
Miss Marie Singleton who spent the winter
in Savannah, returned hone last week.
!. Mrs. Eliza Manning, mother of our Rspreseu-

Boykin, at Boykin's.
There were " mistakes published in
regard to the removal of Lewis James
tumor, viz: 1t had been growing seventeen,
and not fifteen, years, and it weighed twenty
four, and not twenty-five pounds, as
published.
Our merchants petitioned the railroad COM
pany to have their Charleston freight come
straight through, and not be transferred at
Sumter, where it had to lie over for twenty
four hours, and the petition has been granted,
very much to their qualification.
A strong effort is being made to establish a
post Office at Middleton.
Mrs.. Richard Belser, Miss Caro- Belser, Miss
Fannie Brailsford and Mr.. Lncien Brailsford
are visiting the family Of Mr.. Robt. Brouu.
Misses Emily Nesbit and Annie Brailsford
paid flying visits to our town last week.
Rev. ]. S. Hartzell who has been assistant
to Rev. Mr.. Kershaw for four years and
recently resigned, has since accepted a better
Parish. One of the places at which he will
preach will be M%cClellanville. He was to
preach his farewell sermons at Stateburg and
Wedge6eld last Sunday, but for reasons did
not appear, very much to the regret of a
great many of us.

have been received and can be seen st
the business Office OF THE TIMES, where
they will be given in exchange for the
full Set OF eighteen numbers and rs cents
or Sl50 additional, according to the
style of binding desired.
The bound volume makes q beautiful
work, appropriate for the parlor table
in any family and collection OF a series
Oh views lnestimable in value as a SOU

educator of the people in presenting
concise Photographic views of buildings,

views are explained in an entertaining
way by the famous descriptive writer.

Inc volumes are the PROJECTIONS of
the bookbinder's art. There are two
styles to select from, one of a rich
colored brown cloth, with the title en-
belished in gold upon the front; the
other an elegant affair in full Ameri.
can Russian leather, with embossed
scrollwork on front and back covers,
with the title in gold on the front and
back OF the volume and the edges in
gilt.
The series Of views is one worthy Of
saving. 1t forms collection OF pic
lures which will prove as interesting in
the years to come as at the present
time. No one who went to the Worlds
Fair at Chicago last season should feel
that he could be without work of this
nature, and "The Magic City" is the
very best production that has been pre-
scented by any newspaper or publishing
house for the same money. It gives to
those who did not attend the very best
conception of the exposition that can
be obtained
The price for the bound volumes barely
covers the cost Of the work Of binding
only rs cents for tho cloth and 81. so for
the leather-bound volume. This is what
you have to pay in addition to the full
set OF the series to secure the completed
work and no time is lost waiting for it
to come from the BINDERS.
Remember that each of tho eipb teen

received in exchange. Soiled numbers
and missing parts will be supplied at
the usual rate OF ten cents and one
coupon for each part.
Come in and make tho exchange early,

Rain Prevented the Game on the Homo
Grounds.
A heavy shower OF rain swept over
the ball grounds yesterday afternoon
shortly after play had been commenced
between Roanoke and Richmond and
put an end to tho game. The visitors
had scored one run on Kain's single,
McGann's sacrifice and Tate's long fly
to center which Maginnis got after a
hard run. Two games will be played to-.
day for ono admission, the first one
being called at 3 o'clock.
Baseball Notes.
The Washington Post. of Sunday, had
the following to say abouth the Virginia
State League;
There was q novel case for the UNI
pire to decide in game in Lynchburg
the other day. A passed ball was COB
bled up by a big bull dog and held until
pite studied an instant or two, then sent
the runner back to third and ordered the
dog out of the game.
Umpire w. D. Belts, of this city, Is
making fine reputation in the Virginia
League. He is fair and prompt in his
decisions, AMI has succeeded in stopping
all hectoring in games that he umpires.

LYNCHBURG, June S.-Petersburg
batted out victory from the home team
to-day by the close call Of seven to six.
But for Switzer's wretched playing at

game. He was taken out in the fifth
inning and Hacker substituted, after
which the pennant winners were
crowded to the end Of the game.
In the ninth inning it looked like
Lynchburg would take the game any

Senator Gorman seems to have Jared tho
worst by the disclosures made at that

situation completely in the following

favorable impression, evidently having

ROANOKE, VA. JUNE 10. 1894.

Lynchburg News: AS announced yes
terday, Colonel Logan, of Salem, is out
for Congress in this district, and now
the ROANOKE TIMES urges some one OF
its numerous public men to enter the
race for Congressman Edmunds' shoes.
It begins to look as II there will be q
multiplicity of candidates at the con-
vention in August; but, unless all signs
fail in dry weather, our respected and
Industrious townsman, Maj. Peter j.
Otey, will capture the prize, and enjoy
the distinction of representing the old
Sixth in the next House. Major Otey,
aside from his approved business ca
pacity and high intelligence, has GER
tainly earned the gratitude OF his party
by his hard and constant work for 1t
in every campaign for many years. He
is being earnestly supported for the
nomination by friends throughout the
district and his adherents are con-
fdent that he will be chosen
With all due respect to Major Otey's
qualifications and general popularity,
we would suggest that he defer select
ing his Washington residence until after
August Is Roanoke will have some
thing to say in this matter yet, Brother
Glass.
THE necessity of Council acting
favorably upon the passage Of some
building laws for the city is very APP
parent, and it is in accordance with this
view that the resolution urging this &C
tion was passed at the meeting of the
Young Mems Business League last
night. The rules drawn up by the
Association OF Engineers OF Virginia
and now pending before Council were
compiled after careful investigation Of
similar laws in other cities with
the proper adaptation to our own
requirements in this direction. They
were carefully discussed and fn-
ally adopted by a full meeting of che
members, among whom are included
prominent practical and theoretical men
of the city. The regulations, abstracts
OF which were published in THE TIMES
upon their adoption, seem to be suited
to tho needs OF the city in this direction
and there could be no Improperly in
showing an appreciation OF the work
done by tho association by enscting
them among the ordinances of Roanoke.
