establishing postal savings banks
a nation carries its people forward a
step in civilization, inasmuch as it is
giving to them an additional security
against misfortune. A person who

HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

1t is understood that some vandals are
destroying the mile posts placed on the
various roads leading out of this CITY by
the Roanoke merchants. 1t is hard to
understand such an act OF vandalism, as
the destruction is evidently wrought by
the very ones whom the posts are design
ed to benefit. Certainly no one would
taSe the trouble to walk four or five
miles out on dusty country road simply
to destroy the mile posts, and the pre-.
sumption is that the destruction is the
work Of those who travel along the road
The posts placed along the road to Bally-
hack have been almost completely de.
stroyed.

NO FOOTBALL TEAM.

The athletic association of Roanoke
College have decided that they will have
no football team this year, owing to their
inability to secure the service of H. j.
Mcintyre as trainer. Mr.. Mcintyre has
for some years past been their trainer
and is the one man that controls the men
and makes them practice regularly. The
students are very much disappointed over
the failure to secure Mr.. Mcintyre, as
their prospects for a good team this year
were unusually bright.
