A Sign Of Better Times,

When everybody is hoping for the re-
turn of better times, each straw that
shows the wind to be blowing from
that quarter, is worthy of special notice.
There is no barometer so reliable as the
demand for goods. Nobody buys stock
for fun or for appearances
Our advertisers, The Charles E. Hires
Company, of Philadelphia, transact
business over a very wide field, dealing
in every city, town, village and cross
roads in the country. They report that
the sales of Hires Root beer so far this
season are very much in excess of the
same period last year. When it is re-
membered that their annual sales have
before this reached the enormous total
of 2,SS0,27 packages, which equals
more than a gallon for every family in
the country, it would seem at first
thought that there is little room for
further growth. Thirst for it, however
seems to be universal, as this years re-
port shows a very large gain, indicst-
ing that ere long the person who does
not drink Hires Root beer will be
somewhat of a curiosity.
No temperance beverage has ever
anywhere nearly approached Hires
Root beer in popularity. Its wonderful
success can be accounted for only on
the ground that it is just what the
manufacturers claim-an honest ex-
tract of natures most healthful roots,
which Stakes thirst, improves health,
and pleases every member of the family.
Its remarkable sale certainly proves
that millions enjoy Hires Root beer.

Jail Burned.

About 3 o'clock yesterday morning
the prisoners in Jail gave the alarm of
fire, and in a short time the Court house
and Church bells called the people to-
gether, to find the county Jail on fire.
There was thirteen prisoners in the Jail:
nine for violation of the Internal Rev.
enue laws, three State cases and one
insane man. John Perry charged with
robbing McClellans store and the Glover
Bottom post office, in the confusion in
cident to fighting the fire made his es-
cape, the others were taken to the
Court house, and the United States
prisoners will be taken to Knoxville
and the State prisoners to G~reeneville
until the jail is repaired.
Perry, who escaped, it is thought set
the Jail aire with matches secured in
some way. 1t was fired in the ceiling
over the iron cage, and the other pris-
oners claim to have been asleep and
knew nothing of the fire until Perry
gave the alarm.
The fire brigade as usual turned out
in force, and went to work to save the
building, but the tin roof made it i'm
possible to reach the fire with water
for sometime, and the upper part of
the Jail over the cage was completely
destroyed, but by the herculean efforts
OF u volunteer fire company, com
posed of the substantial white and
colored men of the town, the balance
of the Jail vas saved from destruction,
though somewhat damaged by the
flood of water poured ON the flames.
Sheriff Hawkins and family saved
nearly all their household effects, but
some of them were considerable dam
aged. He will probably secure the
John Bell Shipley house to live in I'M
til the Jail is prepared.
The damage to the Jail may reach
$500, but the County Court may de-
eide to remodel the Jail and make it
more in harmony with the progress of
the age than the old cage system, if so
the cost will depent upon the style and
extent of the changes made.
A reward of $50 is offered by the
Sheriff for the arrest of Perry who es-
capped.

Tired, Weak. Nervous.

Means impure blood, and overwork OF
too much strain on brain and body.
The only way to cure is to feed the
nerves on pure blood. Thousands of
people certify that the best blood puri-
fer, the best nerve tonic and strength
builder is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
it has done for others it willtalso do for
you-Hood's Cures.
Nervousness, loss of appetite and
general debility all disappear when
Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep,
strong body, sharp appetite. and in a

The strong point about Hoods Sar-

Resolutions Adopted by the Temperance
People Last Night.
At a mass meeting Of the citizens Of
Roanoke, held at the courthouse last

lutions were unanimously passed:
That whereas the bill known as the
Miller bill, now before the legislature,
having for its object the repeal Of the
local option law in cities and towns Of
1850 and over, strikes at the funda-
mental principles OF our government
and the destruc ton of personal liberty,
and takes away that liberty which is
guaranteed to us by the bill of rights
that we shall have all the rights and
privileges that are enjoyed by the peo-
pie Of any other community; therefore
be it
Re olved, That we instruct our SEN
ator and representatives. to do all in
their power to defeat this infamous and
un. Dam ocratic measure.

lutions be sent to Hon. j. Allen Watts,
