The Great Roanoke Fair.

The sixth annual exhibition of the
Great Roanoke Fair will be held next
week, September p to %. 1t is eX-
pected the crowds attending the fair
this year will far surpasS the throngs
that have ever passed through the gates
of any fair grounds in the state of Vir-
GINA. Some people may think this q
broad assertion in mind the state fair
at Richmond But the Great Roanoke
Fair is in many respects a bigger fair
than the Richmond fair And certain
ly the Roanoke Fair is of more interest
to this section. Roanoke is our neigh
Dor and Roanoke people are our friends
every day of the year. Every county
in the great Southwest will be well rep
resented by fine exhibits of various
kinds at Roanoke and the people of the
Southwest will be there by the thou
sands. The cash premiums exclusive
of horse racing) amount to eleven thou
sand dollars and that the people in this
immediate vicinity will fetch home
with them many of the money prizes
goes without saying.
The Roanoke Fair will be open four
days and four nights. The night show
is new feature and the association has
this year spent many thousands of dol
lars to put it on. There will be airship
flights each day and night of the fair.
There will be great pyrotechnical dis
plays each night and other lines of free
amusement for the visitors. The rail
roads offer low rates for the Roanoke
Fair and it is sincerely hoped that this
section will have sea of faces on the
grounds each day.

Confederate Window.

Mr.. and Mrs. d. B. Taylor, who have
just moved into the nice residence
formerly occupied by Mr.. w. o. Sydnor
and family on West Frederick street,
have had Confederate window made
and placed in the back hall. The idea
is novel one and all who have seen
the window have greatly admired it.
The window was made in Chicago and
was ordered through Captain c. w,
Lambert. 1t is BEAUTIFUL shade of red
with cross bars of roughened glass,
making perfect representation of the
old red and white Confederate flag. 1t
is combination of the Maryland cross
and the Southern flag. Mr.. Taylor
having been a member of the Army
and Navy Society for twelve years and
a gallant Confederate soldier through
out the war of 1876. He has also
placed two handsome pictures Of Lee
and Jackson on each side of the win
dow, carrying out the Confederate idea
to degree that at once marks his de-
votion to the cause for which he so
bravely fought.-Leader.

Like Unto Moses.

Young Mr.. Beveridge was carefully
parliamentary in his illusions to Mr..
BRYAN. In fact, his most severe meth
cd of discrediting the Democratic nomi-
nee was to damn him with faint praise,
Sacred and profane literature were lib
orally drawn on by the Indiana orator
for comparison between the two candi-
dates, favorable to Taft without being
discreditable to his opponent. Some OF
them were fairly apt, some decidedly
strained, and one at least was unfortu-
nate, considering that Taft has just
been called to the stump in the forlorn
hope of restoring his wavering lines.
"Taft," said the Senator, 'is the
Moses of the campaign" The parallel
holds good just where it is most I'M
fiattering to the man intended to be ex-
allied. For Moses, though smart with
his pen and well up in the Law, was
hating of tongue and sensibly kept in
the rear when spell bindIng was the
mind Moses Taft of this deficiency in
his endowments just as he was about
enter on an oratorical pilgrimage de-
handing the ready eloquence Of an
Aaron.
NOT Was THAT suggestion Vi SlInlllGuue
happy which challenged the recollec-
ton that Moses never reached the prom
ised land but only got glimpse Of it
from afar. Surely it was the reverse
of nice to intimate Republican leader
was not only poor speaker, but also
that his race would terminate short OF
the goal of his hope and his ambition.
The comparison seems to us to have
been one Of those that Shakespeare
calls ordorous. Virginian.

Augusta Hotel.

Monday night the Hotel Augusta
was opened to the public under the
most suspicious conditions, and from
8 to 10 o'clock the lobby, halls and
rooms were thronged with visitors and
not an unfavorable comment was heard
during the evening. From an orchestra
in the rear of the lobby sweet music
helped to entertain the visitors and
bOuntiful refreshments were served.
The dining room was spotless and new
er looked so beautiful. 1t seems almost
impossible to have made the wonder
full changes, and the old Eakleton
would not be recognized. The entire
house has been repainted inside and
out Every room and hall has been
papered and the furniture all looks new
and attractive.
The parlors and guests chambers are
handsomely furnished. The wall de-
corations are in exquisite taste, the
blending of colors harmonizing
throughout. The office is quite a trans
formation in this respect.
Even the spacious kitchen was in
pected and all showed that everything
has been done to make guests comfort
able.
Mr. and Mrs. J. +. Porter have every
reason to feel that they will succeed as
proprietors for they have most attrac-
tive house and their friends are inter
ested in helping them to succeed. Mr..
Lee Gregory was present as clerk. AL
ready many of the chambers are occu
pied.
Ever since the opening the hotel has
been filled to its capacity, and Tuesday
night the genial proprietor had to give
up his room to accommodate his guests
