ter, Democratic to the back bone, there
fore accepted the decision of tho people
and ceased to agitate the subject. but
now that Roanoke city people are agi .
tating tho holding of an industrial ex-
position in or near that city, we will
again take up the thread Of the story,
believing that the whole Southwest
should be represented at this exposi-
ton, and especially Salem and Roanoke
county.
At a meeting IN Roanoke last night of
those interested in the movement it was
resolved to hold convention in the
Academy OF Music April 10 to perfect
plans, and that the Southwest should be
thoroughly represented the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
Resolved, That the mayors of the
several cities and towns in South west
Virginia and the sections contiguous
thereto and the judges Of the several
county courts be requested to appoint
five delegates each from their cities and
counties to attend said meeting"
The Times Register trusts, therefore,
that Mayor Younger and Judge Moffett
will appoint ,pable delegates to prop

The Scheme Will be a Success.
From the Fincastlc Herald.
The people of Roanoke are distin-
guished for their progressiveness. Her
citizens are wide awake, and enter
heartily into any scheme that is likely
to rebound to the good OF the city. The
latest scheme on foot is an industrial
exposition, which is to be held there
next fall. A meeting of citizens was
held last Monday with this purpose in
view, and committee was appointed
to put the matter in shape.
