pie We're very much annoyed by blind

the authorities will be better able to
cope with that d.testable animal this
time. They are sustained and backed
by more stringent State laws now than
then. and even those people who voted
against prohibition say they are going
to see to 1t that the odium OF "bllnd
| tigerism'' does not tarnish the skirts of
| Danville in the future
| OF course there are differences OF
opinion as to the effect of prohibition
on business, some contending that whis-
key and prosperity go hand in hand and
that too much "dryness', leads to stag
nation in commerce, but I am of the
impression that Danville is going to

very dry. and yet maintain its proud
position as one among the Invest, most

Dnnville's Many Attractions.
Danville is a city OF churches. I have
not counted them accurately. but 1
doubt II there is a city OF It's size In
the country that has more churches or
handsomer houses of worship. All de-
nominations from Catholic and high
church Episcopalian down to the! latter
day seams, known as Holy Jumpers
are represented. The people are church,
goers, and no preacher here is ever
known to complain of too small coz
gregations.
Two first-class colleges for young
women. magnificent high and graded
schools under the public education sys-
tenn OF the State, several private
schools and prospect OF a military
school for boys, all combine to make
Danville an educational centre Of 70
little Importance.
There are perhaps no people in Vir-
Sinia or anywhere else who give more
literally to public institutions OF a
charitable nature than to these people 81
Danville. The magnificent General Hos
pital, the iDanville Orphanage and other
institutions are evidences of this fact.

It said that the Danville men are the

prosperous and the social side Of life

BLACKSBuRG, VA, May 9.-Messrs.
A. j. Miller and Sons. of Clifton Forge,
have force at work now completing
the laying of the concrete sidewalks
In Blacksburg. The contract for these
walks was made last fall and work be-
gan in January, but had to be aband-
oned on account of the severe weather.
Much Of the walk put down was so in
jured by freezing that 1t had to be re-
placed by new. An additional contract
has now been made with the firm for
sidewalks on two streets, one leading
to the high school building and the
other to the town limits on the north
end. When finished this will give
Blacksburg concrete walks the entire
length of Main Street on both sides. and
on the side streets leading to the
churches and most of the residences.
The town has born half the expense
and the property owners the other.
The long promised Improvement in
the telephone service has materialized
and worlsmen are engaged in putting In
an almost new equipment. The line to
Christiansburg has been taken down
and new poles and wires put in place.

Mr.. Robert Patterson on Roanoke Noun

will be occupied In July by Professor

with water, furnaces and electric
lights. The new home OF Mr.. Walter
Stranger, near Palmers' Spring, is also
finished, and Mr.. Stranger expects II
move in this summer.
Crops aud Fruit.
In the country around the farmers
are delighted with the prospects for
fine crops and plenty of fruit. AL

We'll Dressed Folks.
The thing that always attracts the
attention of a stranger here is that all
of the people are well dressed, wearing
the best of clothes and adhering to the
very latest fashions. Well-to-do women
folks everywhere are we'll dressed
(hcaven bless them forevermore FOR
IT'D but nowhere are they ahead of the
Danviile women.
There Is nothing strange about this,
but the, thing that invariably attracts
the attention of the stranger Is the
fact that every man he meets, week
days as we'll as Sundays, is. we'll dres-
sed, that is every man who Is in active
business. This has ever been a Dan
Vile CUSTOM I have been told that
famous merchant tailor who located
here forty-five years ago when Dam
Vile first commenced, after the war, to
make big money out of tobacco, posi-
lively refused to make up into suits
anything but the very best of goods
and thus got the men in the habit Of
wearing only the best tailor-made
clothes The merchant tailor's name was
Gipson, and since his time Che has been
dead number of years. Danyille men
will not wear anything that is not up
to the Gipson standard. second-class
tailor cannot succeed here. The fact
that David Jones and Company work a
large force Of hands and keep busy all
the year around and have been at it for
twenty odd years is evidence that they
are first-class.
Their reputation has gone beyond
their home and they keep two measure
ers and filters constantly on the road.
They sell quite as many suits III the
Ineighborlng towns in both Virginia and
North Carolina as they do in Danville.

that hour, and just as promptly at 1
o'clock they go to dinner. A large
majority of them are equally as prompt
to return to business at about . o'clock.
Between the hours of ] and 2 P. NJ. the
business part of Danville has a Sunday
or holiday appearance.
This is all in accordance with an
ancient custom that was probably born
in the lifetime of Winn's Falls. or more
likely 1t is custom that was brought
about by the regulations of the leaf
tobacco warehouses for their sales.
Anyhow. If you have any business to
attend to when you come to Danville,
and 1t is necessary to see any business
man In order to attend to It, you must
get near him before l o'clock or post
pone the job until after o'clock, and,
IL you happen to be here on the days
when the Danville baseball club is
sweeping up the home grounds with an
other club of the Virginia State League,
you had better get through with your
business by noon or postponement to
the next day will be the result.

A Pleasant Feature Gone FROM s"e

of Pennsylvania to provide turkey
