The Great Roanoke Fair, TO take
place Sept, q to Sd, inclusive, in the
city of Roanoke, Va, promises 10
eclipse any exhibition Of the kind ever
held in the south. From present indi-
cations it will far surpass the very sue
cessful fair Of last year, which so ad-
vertised the city, and made il better
known'than ever throughout the United
States. 1t will be under the same liber-
al, far-seeing and aggressive manage
ment
Every department Of the exhibition
will be interesting and complete, but,
of course, the main interest will be in
the races. These will be most exciting
and holly contested. Twelve races are
on the card for the week, and the prem
iums are large enough TO attrast some
very fast steppers. The 81, 900 free-for-
all should bring out the best horses in
Virginia and the adjacent states. The
track is conceded TO be one OF the best
in the country.
The free attractions will be many,
while "The Pike" will be crowded with
shows of all kinds. Roanoke is the
centre Of the Norfolk and Western
Railway system, and this road VIII sell
excursion tickets at q single fare for the
round trip.
An enormous attendance is expected
To arrange for the crowds that will be
in Roanoke during the week, the hotel:
and boarding houses are making every
preparation, and all who attend the
fair will be able to secure accommoda
tions at very reasonable rates. The
Great Roanoke Fair will be one Of the
leading exhibitions Of 1904, which
! should not be missed.

A Soldier's Bones Uncovered.

A few days ago while William Wy
song and his hired man were mending
the road leading into his home east OF
town they uncovered the bones OF a
human being. The bones were In a
perfect state representation, and were
those of large man, probably Con-
federate soldier who was shot and
killed at the battle at the Cement
Mil, September 20, 1862, when the
Corn Exchange Regiment Of Phlla'
delphia was almost annihilated by
General Hills command. The body
had evidently been hastily buried
along the hillside, just as it was, with
out coffin. Mr.. Wysong thinks 1t
was Confederate, because there wa,
no brass buttons such as Union SOL
diers nearly always had upon their
clothes-the fragments Of a SLOUGH
hat such az the Southern soldiers wore
being further evidence. Mr.. Wysong
carefully exhumed the bones and put
them in box, and later turned them
over TO J. Will Taylor and Charles
Terrell, who gave them decent burial
in the soldiers plot in EImwood Gem
etery. How interesting it might be
if the history of the life represented
by these Wondering bones could be
made known.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces.

Emergency Medicines.

1t is great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good linlment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite if not a
household necessity is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. By applying it promptly
to cut, brulse or burn 1t alIays the
pain and causes the injury to heal in
about one-third the time usually re-
ouired, and as it is an antseptic 1t pre-
vents any danger of blood poisoning.
When Pain Balm is kept at hand a
sprain may be treated before intiamma-
ton sets in, which insures quick re-
covery. For sale at Remnants Phar-

House Blown Up.

At Martinsburg last Sunday morn
ing about 2 clock house on East
Race street, back of the Baltimore
and Ohio shops, was blown up with
dynamite, John Harris, a well known
colored man, was instantly killed, his
companion, a colored woman named
Katie Higginbotham, was fatally in
iured, aud a woman named White,
also colored, was severely cut and
bruised. Ernest Hollins and John
Thompson are in Jail, Hollins being
held on the charge of murder. 1t
seems that Harris and Hollins were
rivals for the hand of Katie Higgin-
botham. popular belle among the
darky portion of the population. Hol-
Inns, who was employed at the quar-
riee of the Bessemer Limestone Com
pany, was furnishing her with money
while she W as comforting her affection
on Harris. Saturday night Harris
went to the home of Julia White,
where the Higginbotham woman was
staying, expecting to spend the night
there. Hollins, who was heard to re-
mark that they wouldn't stay in the
house over night, is supposed to have
gone with Thompson, friend, stolen
the dynamite and placed it under the
house. The explosion was terrific and
the house was completely wrecked.
For squares around houses were
shaken, windows broken, and pictures
knocked from the wall. Harris was
one of the best known colored men IN
Martipsburg and the negroes are con-
siderably excited over the matter.
