The Great Roanoke Fair.

Next Tuesday, the Goth inst, the
Great Roanoke Fair has Its opening
day, and continues four days. The
entries are larger than ever before in
its history, and the amusement fea-
lures are too numerous to mention.
N ext week will be record breaker for
Roanoke, and every visitor will be well
repaid for the trip. Not only will the
fair be full as to exhibits, but in point
of attractions it will simply be over
flowing. All of the ground space that
can possibly be spared for that purpose
has been assigned to side shows, exhi-
billions, palaces of mystery, circuses
menageries and similar concessions
And, then, there will be all the differ
ent games of skill and the various
amusements that go to make up sue
cessful fair, such as will have interest
for the general public, so that all tastes
can be gratified.

J. II. Hipplegate, Supt. of Public
Works, 81 West 9th ST., Lexington, KY,
writes:
81 find that Peruna is an excellent
medicine especially for catarrhal affec-
tons and all diseases leading to con-
sumption, bronchial troubles or stomach
troubles. 1t also acts as preventative
and keeps the system in a healthy con.
dition so that it easily throws off dis
ease. 1t is an excellent tonic and a
great appetizer and As a large number
of those who have been using it speak
very highly of its curative powers, am
satisfied that my opinion of it is correct,
and that it is deserving of high praise"
j. II. Hipplegate.
Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. AL
most everybody knows that by hcarsay
and thousands know it by experience,
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming q national curse. An I'M
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DR.. Hartman. This remedy has been
years. Peruna cures catarrh in all
phases and stages. There is no remedy
that can be substituted.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
FULL statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj

wallace Circus.
]. n. 3 ELL,
sep % ct

The fOrerunners of the Great wal
lace Show have made numerous prep
arations for the coming of that circus
to StauntOn, Thursday, September 2S.
From now until that date, large
portion of our juvenile citizens, with
the same proportion of the older ones,
will be anticipating with much salts
faction the promised visit of the Wal
lace Show. In front of the circus rings
and in the presence of the sawdust and
action. and within the hearing OF a
great symphony band, politics are laid
aside, creeds are shelved, cares are
shifted, and kings and queens of socie
ty and of business affairs touch elbows
with the professional and lahoring
man. A big circus like the Wallace
Show brings all kinds of people on
level for brief time, at least.
1t is with pleasure that we announce
the early visit of show of the magnl
tude and the character of the Great
Wallace Shows.
