The Roanoke Industrial and Agricul
tural Association will hold Its annual
fair. beginning September Oath to 9th
inclusive, four days. The program is
so arranged that every day will be a
big day and 1T makes no difference

many successful! farmers can point with
pride the many improvements of their

influences of the Great Roanoke Fair.
Tue association makes it a point to
work incessantly all the year and make
it draw as great stock exhibit as pos
slble and the finest herds of cattle
shown anywhere in the world congre
gate here for the benefit of the Vir-
ginia farmers. This year will be as
great. if not greater. than any as no
expense bas been spared and the pre-.
miums raised so as to bring the finest
cattle here that ever were shown. The
premiums and purses aggregate $751;
900. An enormous sum to be distrib-

How 1t Works in North Carolina.

Richmond News-Leader. 10th: So
railways in North Carolina are not
murdered by the two-cent passenger
rate, after all. Reports from ticket
agents of the Southern in that State
show that last month ,645 tickets for
points in the State were sold against
2 500 for August, 1906 The amount
of money received was IS .272.25 against
So, $50 So in 1906 The increase in pass,
engers was 2 .149, about ninety per
cent, and the increase in cash receiv-
ed was 1851 70, or over twenty-five per
cent. This is not cOnfiscatory or ruin
GUS. We never have been able to un-
derstand why it should cost more to
haul hundred passengers than fifty
on the same train, over the same track
and with the same rolling stock and
crew. It looks to US as if instead of
being destroyed the Southern railway
is about $500 ahead on the month over
last year.

A Wonderful Cavern.

Your reporter on Saturday visited
the StauntOn Caverns. which have re-
Gently been opened to the public by
Messrs. Larner & Smith. This cavern
is located on the Middlebrook road,
just beyond the city limits and is with.
in easy walking distance. The owners
have made an opening from the road
and the passage is covered with crush
ed stone which keeps it dry and makes
walking easy. 1t is brilliantly lighted
and the large chambers and many
curious and interesting figures are the
object of much favorable comment
from visitors far and near. Some of
the formations are very ine-fOr in
stance the figure of the giant eagle. on
whose left wing is the perfect fOrma-
tion of an angle. The clasped hands
are also perfect, as are the tigers head,
the buffalo. and the woman with a
child in her arms, the O'pOssum and
the turkeys head are also features that
attract. Besides the three large cham
bers now open there are several leads
that will be opened at an rly date,
making six or eight rooms il the cav
ern.
There have recently been good many
visits from strangers, and all express
ed themselves as more than pleased at
what they saw. Two ladies were sc
taken with the cavern that they made
another visit to them the next day.
One gentleman who had seen the IA
nous Luray and Weyer's cave, told
me that the Staunton Caverns COM
pared favorabIy with both, and that
in some respects exceeded them. There
is no doubt in our mind that the day is
not far distant when the caverns will
be drawing card for StauntoD. A
souvenir card maker was here a short
time ago and took flash light pictures
which be said were perfect, and they
will also attract the attention OF strang-
ers.

Beautiful windows at Trinity.

Last week at Trinity Episcopal
church, two beautiful memorial win
dows were unveiled. They were ex'
ecuted in Favrile glass by the Tiffany
Studios of New Y ork and we're design
ed by Mr.. Frederic Wilson. The win
dows, which are placed on the east side
of the church, are gift from Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Walter in memory of the
father and mother of Mrs. Walter.
The subject of the first window is
"The Good Samaritan" In Its COM
position and detail of design it is pro
foundry expressive of the lesson of the
parable of Christ. This window bears
the inscription "In Loving Memory OF
John Duryea." The subject of the ad-
Joining window is 1.-The Angel OF
Faith" and is an equally thoughtful
EXPRESSION of the theme. In the panel
at the base is the dedicatory inscrip
ton "In Loving Memory of Jane A.
Duryea."
The form of the window openings has
given the artist an excellent Opportu-
nifty of treating the subject with full
breadth of scriptural expression and
has also permitted an exceptional eff
feet In color. Although two ideas are
shown in the subject and design, the
coloring of the windows is in perfect
harmony, and also in harmony with
the window on the opposite wide of the
church, which was executed at the same
studios.
The windows are worked out in rich
soft tones. and the glass. which was
made especially for them. is character
ized by brilliant depth of quality.
