OF a revival OF t:ade and industry and
bright and healthy outlook along ell
lines of business as to tho future.
Eligible homes which were vacant
year ago have been occupied. The
old places OF business show increased
activity snd larger stocks, while new
stores are starting up in various parts
OF the city. All the industries OF this
locality are in full operation and many
OF them are daily adding to tho num-
Der of their employees. Persons able
and desiring to work need not long re-
main idle, and though the wages arc
not large, in some instances, as they
were two or three years ago. the de-
creased expense of living about COM
pensates for this reduction.
The crops of the adjoining counties
and of ali the Southwest have been
bountifal, Notwithstanding the extended
drouth and the early frost, which un.
deniably cut short the late productions
OF the field nd garden considerably.
There is, however, compensation in
the fact that bettor prices will bs re-
ceived for what has been raised and
thus the losses will be reduced to
minimum.
In the coal fields all is quiet and work
is progressing on constantly increas-
ing scale. Tho supply of co.l and coke
is beginning to come up to the demand
and the iron and other indus tries to the
west OF this city have been revived. On
tho whole the people OF this section
generally, and Of Roanoke in particular,
are to be congratulated on the bright
prospects before them.
The recent outpouring Of our people
to receive the Liberty Bell has demon
strated not only their patriotism. but
their unanimity in all worthy and on
nobling efforts. The whole country has
heard OF it and once again mems eyes
have been turned in this direction as q
most promising field for settlement and
investment. With the same spirit Of
cooperation that has charac terized the
people OF Roanoke in the past, there Is
every reason to believe that all the
most sanguine could ask or expect will
be realized in the future Of this city,
which is und eniably the metropolis OF
Southwest Virginia, and the exponen.
of the hopes and aspirations Of a live,
liberal, energetic and progressive sec
ton.
