As a traveller in many lands, | hap
pened to he Il locker on in Venice last
night Mt the german given Mt the Roam
oke Inn, and cannot suppress the i'm
pulse To say that l seldom ever saw n
lovelicr german anywhere. The array of
feminine beauty and gallant beauX who
throngcd the salon and sun parlors
would have made radiant almost any
ballroom; but gathered in so charmincly
disposed and ideal locale rs the pala-
tial parlors of the Roanoke Inn, they APP
peared like diadem of gems. Any city
that can furnish such resplendent
german rs that last night need never de-
spair OF ultimate success. l earnestly
hope That | may live to witness such
another in the same place. And, mean
time, Roanokians, take fresh heart of
courage and press onward with your
Magic City, for nothing can possibly stay
or stop your ultimate success.
