What's the Use of Waiting ? "They " say "all things como to him who waits," but we have no been waiting, und wo don't propose to wait. "Wo KNOW our prices are right, our work A-l, hikI if you don't Roanoke, V?_18? M_ To BALL & MAY, Dr. TVm?_GROCERS BLACK & WHITE, Attorneys at Law, P. O. Bo? ?6. Roanoke, Va. bring us work wo will Domo after it, in oa? way or another, oither by bringing to ycur notieo t>ur prices, facilities and quality oi execution, or personal interviews. "Wo are not grumbling ; far from it. Wo'vo had our share ; we are still getting our share. But wo have placed at your disposal a modern, and almost ideal, printing establishment, with such facilities as to command admiration fn>m all ith whom we have business intercourse. "Wo aro not waiting ; haven't timo to wait An Up-to-Date Printing Office. Ono of tho vows tho writer made when ho was "devil" in a country printing oifioe was, in effect, that if ho ever owned or man? aged a printing establishment, it would bo kept clean, at least by comparison. At that timo ho hardly felt the force of tho vow, for ho has learned after years of experience that it is necessary immediately after ono "going over" to start at the beginning and go over it all again. It never ends?just like a housekeeper's duties?but not like the boy who sees no use in washing his faco because it will get soiled again. But, a clean printing establishment is just as necessary for tho proper execution of work in our line as light and heat and power. And the vow has been kept. Como and see. We Do Not Believe There is another city in the Stnto which sends Euch a small propor? tion of its orders for printing and blank books away to our Northern friends as Roanoke. All honor to our bankers and business men; that is?most all of it. "Wo must reserve a little, as this is our "own country." In Our Press-Room Can bo seen tho rapid, diminutive and monster cylinder presses including tho famous " Promiso Keeper," turning out thousands upon thousands of sheets every day. Our largest and best paper cutting machine, tho automatic cutting knife sharp? ener, and tableting appurtenances aro on this floor. Tho wonderful and powerfu'. electric motor, which propels tho machines on all three floors, is also on this floor. Over in one corner, hardly noticeable, is kept in readiness, as a supplementary power, an improved Gas Engine, to bo attached at momentary notice, in case of accident to tho electric motor, or for other causes. ? This precludes tho possibility of a "hole" on tho power question. On the Second Floor A long row of small presses, used for cards, envelopes, statements, note heads, tickets and small work. Here, also, is probably the most wonderful piece of mechanism in our establishment?the Kail road Ticket Printing Machine. Think of it the next timo you purchase your ticket. Secured behind iron bars and double locks, it at once suggests government bum!-, with all these safeguards. Our Establishment Is just opposite and overlooking the lawn of Hotel Roanoke, (ono of the finest hotels in the State,) which gives us a magnificent, bright, refreshing view at all times. Our business office, and press-room aro on tho ground floor (along with our prices). Each floor and depart? ment is connected with tho offieo by Electric Bells, Speaking Tubes, and Elevators ; and all departments aro bountifully supplied with all kinds of Labor and Time-Saving Appliances. Further Along On this floor is ttiu type-setting department, where expert minds and fingers think and act rapidly and correctly, interpreting at times hand? writing that would make Horace Greeley turn green with envy. Largo, extra largo fonts of typo permit the handling of very largo orders in a most satisfactory and expeditious manner. Our force in this department can set up about as many pages in a day as a man car read. A plentiful supply of Algebraical, Astronomical, Geometri? cal signs and characters, acccnto letters, and "odd sorts" enable ua to handle difficult and intricate work in special lines. On the Top Floor Is our Blank Book Manufactory, ruling machines, including on which is probably the largest south of Philadelphia; our various wire Etitchers, which will take wire from a spool, cut it tho proper length, shape it, and drive through a book .three-fourths of inch thick, or ono not so thick, 1"0 a minute; then our paging and numbering machines, board and paper cutters, book presses, which exert a pressure of twenty tons or more, perforating, punching and eyeleting machines, und tho engraving department?which hitter is an innova? tion for this section. We Print Anything That can be desired or devised from movable typo, paper and ink? and brains. Brains aro just as important in our work as paper or ink or type. It is tho combination that tells. Wo do not mean to be egotistical at all; but combining these things to bring forth a harmo? nious result has been our study?and wc do claim to know our business right thoroughly. All logethcr One of the things which has contributed largely to the success of our establishment is tho systematic working "together" of all our forces in all departments. Thi3 has reduced to a minimum the "lost motion" which is usually to bo found in largo industries. If a minute can be saved here, another there, it is done?an hour is gained?thus wo take care of tho fleeting moments. Five minutes Roanoke, Va. Reoeived of-? wasted daily by each of our employes would mean tho interest on $10,000 a year. In these days of close margins each moment of time must bo productive. Quite Recently, Too The times aro hard, money tight, everything handled econom? ically?but it cannot possibly stay that way. So wo are pushing ("not shoving") ahead, just as though good times were upon us. Wo cannot allord to lag behind or worry ; hut in times of peace we are preparing for war. And when it comes we will have an estab? lishment that, can uiku cure oi anytnmg mat comes?uui tnings tar* do not como now. Recently wo placed an order for ono of tho largest lots oi new typo ever given at ono timo in Virginia, And Our Stock-Room! If some of our friends who usually buy ft quire or so of paper at a time, could look in upon this department, they would not ceaso won? dering for days. Wo do not exaggerate a particle v/hen we eay you can Bee A TON OF A KIND} yes, TEN TONS OF A KIND. You say. "What, ten tons of ono kind of paper in a town like Roanoke?" That's what we said. Como and see. And, besides, hundreds of other kinds of plain, fancy and unique; there are stacks of card-board, of a kind, as high as a man, and ho need not bo a Lilliputian, oither. What Can We Not Do With such facilitiesT A card, a circular, note head, envelope, pam phlct, price list, catalogue, book, railroad rate sheet or time table, a ruled blank or a 1000-pago ledger, on any or all, wo assure our friends we aro AT HOME, from January 1st to Decombor 81st.

STORIES OF THE DAY. ^ Borne Interesting; Aneodotee of the Late John Stetson. There wns no better known theatrical manager in the United States than John. Stetson, whoso death in Boston was re? cently recorded. And/ while tho man had his enemies?it was n fnvorito re? mark of his that a theatrical man who had DO enemies was not worth his salt, or words to that effect?tho men who hud harsh things to say of him during his lifo WON a unit in praise of his many admirable personal characteris? tics. There was no man more charitable than be when it suited him to ho chari? table, and, at 'tho samo time, it was next to impossible to impose upon him. Not n fow of tho' anecdotes that aro bo ing bandied buck and forth by tho gen? tlemen nlong tho Rial to bear directly upon this trait of tho distinguished Bos tonian's makoup. Ono of them, for in? stance, boro upon tho cuso of a favorite employee of Stetson's a more or less deserving youth who .served him as treasurer during tho sonson, hot who once fonnd himself in tho middle of a particularly long summer without mon? ey or the next thing to it. He approach? ed Mr. Stetson- with what theatrical preoplo caU "a long hard luck story," and besought him for a loan of $100. "Not a cent!" snapped tho nmuagcr. "G'wan away with youl'' Tho young man retreated in good order and later in the day, having taken counsel of some friends, onco more approached the mail of wealth. Ho told him frankly that a very sweet girl, his fiancee, was on tho eve of starting out with a bur? lesque company and simply had to havo some new clothes. He wanted the $100 to givo to her. "Why tho deuce didn't yon tell me that at first?" inquired Mr. Stetson fiercely as ho handed over tho money. "Everybody knows you can't feed love on hay." Whilo Mr. Stetson justly prided him* self on his ability to draw up a contract without a loopholo for tho other fellow to wriggle through, then* is one case on record whero ho got the worst of it. The Kiralfys woro playing an engage? ment at tho Globe theater with ono of their famous spectacular shows and in their contract had managed to secure tho iuscrtfon of a clauso providing that aU so caUed "extras," including calci tuns, advertising, extra stage hands and 6o forth Kliould bo provided for by tho house. Thus it happened that while the receipts for the week figured up nearly $6,000, Mr. Stetson's Bbaro came to just $(k50. He accepted this facer without a murmur, but took his vengeance in his dry wuy by heading his advertisement in aU tho Sunday papers with tho an? nouncement in large type, "Positively tho last appearance of the Kiralfys at the Globe theater forever and ever. " Mr. Stetson died a very rich man, and while no one knows e xactly how he acquired tho foundation of his fortune he himsulf was proud of his hnmhlo origin and subsequent rise to fortune, and it is qnito certain that no boy ever workid harder than he. It was while his father kept a little grocery storo in Charlcstown that he secured his first position?that of office boy on the Bos? ton Herald His duty was to keep tho lamps in order, and his salary was $1. CO a week. He ran the distanco to and from Ids home?fivo miles?night and morning, and in this way doubtless laid the foundation for his future fame as tho champion long distanco runner of tho world. It was in his famous race with the Indian Lightfont, when h<> was 17 or 18 years ohl, that he received tho facial disfigurement that he bore to the day of his death. It was while Hear? ing the finishing line that sonic evil disposed person, who hnd presumably bet on the red man, threw a brick at the white one and struck him over tho ; eye. Naturally this lost Stetson the race, but in a subsequent match with tho Indian, with brick throwing barred, ho beat him handsomely and soon afN-r retired from that line of business on his laurels. Tho late manager was described to mo by ono of his sorrowing friends as a enrions mixture of brightness and roughness. There aro a great many sto? ries told illustrative of his well known propensity for the commission of so call? ed "breaks" or "bulls," and whilo he has doubtless been saddled with much more than ho over perpetrated in this direction several of the yarns will bear repetition. At a rehearsal of a vaude? ville company on ono occasion tho di? rector rapped for the accompanist to stop, and, turning to Mr. Stetson, who sat alone in tho parquetysaid plaintive? ly: "Mr. Stetson, this piano will never do. We'll have to get another. " ' 'What's tho matter with tho piano?" asked the manager. "It's pitched too high." "That's all right," answered Mr. Stetson amiably. ' 'Send for tho carpen? ter and havp him saw two or three inch? es of its legs off." Another rehearsal story: It was the old burlesquo "Enchantment," and Mr. Stetson had Becured all the availa? ble talent in sight His latest acquisi? tion had been a pair of f anoy roller skat era, and when ho reached tho theater, where tho rehearsal was already in prog? ress, ho inquired for Mr. Orrin Rich? ards, the scene painter. When told that ho was up on the "paint frame, "ho walked forward and tho following con? versation ensnod: Mr. Stetson (from below)?Say, Or? rin, I've hired those roller skaters. You'll have to paint in a scene that'll fit their act Artist Richards (in a load voice from up aloft)?How can I do that when the Bccnery all has to bo tropical? Mr., Stetson?That's all right Paint a tropical snowstorm. That will fit it ?New York Journal. A Popular "Sign." If President Cleveland would affix his name to a document recognizing the Cuban insurgents, it would be the most popular "sign" of tho times.?Chicago Tribune, Perhaps thej '' New Woman'' will be a stronger wo? man thau the old one.

No women who suffers at all from so-called " female weak? ness" should attempt athletics of any sort.

No matter what is the matter with them, it will cure it. It will not cure anything else. It is a wholesome tonic, an invig? orating nervine, or nerve-food as well as a healing medicine, and thousands of perfectly well women have found that by taking it regularly during the period of pregnancy, the danger and pain of par? turition were much lessened, and in many cases, almost entirely obviated.
