What's the Use of Waiting ? "Thoy ?? say "all things como to him wno waits," but we have no been waiting, and we don't propose to wtdt. We KNOW our prices are right, our work A-l, and if you don't Rounok?, V?._189 M_ To BALL. & MAY Dr. Toim?_- GROCERS bring us work wo will como alter it, in ou<* way or another, either by bringing to your notice our prices, facilities and quality oi execution, or personal interviews. We are not gruiftbling ; far from it. Wo'vo had our aharo; wo aro still getting our share. But we havo placed at your disposal a modern, and almost ideal, printing establishment, with ?men facilities as to command admiration from all ith whom we havo business intercourse. "We aro not waiting; haven't time**lo wait An Up-to-Date Printing Office. Ono of the vows the writer mado whon ho was " devil" in a country printing oflico was, in effect, that if he ovor owned or man? aged a printing establishment, it would bo kept clean, at least by comparison. At that time ho hardly folt tho forco of the vow, for he has learned after years of ozporionce that it is necessary immediately after ono "going over" to start at tho beginning and go ovor it all again. It novor onds?just like a housekooper's duties?but not like tho boy who ecos no uso in washing his face because it will got soiled again. But, a clean printing osta'blishr.iont is just as necessary for tho proper oxecution of work in our line as light and heat and powor. And tho vow has been kopt. Como and soe. We Do Not Believe Thoro is another city n the State which sends such a small propor? tion of its ordors for printing and blank books away to our Northern friends as Roanoko. All honor to our bankers and business mon; that is?most all of it. Wo must resorve a little, as this is our "own country." We Print Anything That can bo desired or devised from movable type, paper and ink? and brains. Brains aro just as important in our work as paper or ink or typo. It is tho combination that tells. Wo do not moan to be egotistical at all; but combining theso things to bring forth a harmo? nious result has boon our study?and wo do claim to know our ousiness right thoroughly. Ali 'logether One of tho things which has contributed largely to tho success of our establishment i3 the systematic working "together ' of all our forces in all departments. Tina has reduced to a minimum tho "lost motion" which is usually to be found in large industries. If a minuto can be saved horo, anothor there, it is (Inno?an hour is gained?thus wo take caro of the fleeting moments. Five minutes roanoke, Va. rsof.IVEO of_ wasted daily by each of our employes would moan the interest on $10,000 a year. In theso days of close margins each moment of timo must bo productive. Quite Recently, Too Tho timc3 aro hard, money tight, everything handled cconoin. ically?but it cannot possibly stay that way. So we aro pushing ("not shoving") ahead, just as though good times wero upon us. We cannot aflord to lag behind or worry; but in limes of penco wo aro preparing for war. And when it comes we will havo an estab iisnmunt thai can take care oi anytning thai comua?a?d things that do not como now. Recently we placed an order for ono of tho largest "lots of now typo over given at ono timo in Virginia. On the Second Floor A long row of small presses, used for cards, onvclopes, statements, note heads, tickets and small work. Ilere, also, is probably the most wonderful picco of mechanism in our establishment?tho Railroad Ticket Printing Machine. Think of it tho next timo you purchaso your ticket. Secured behind iron bars and double locks, it at once suggests government bonds, with all theso safoguards. Further Along On this floor is tho type-setting department, rvhoro expert minds and Angers think and act rapidly and correctly, interpreting at times hand? writing that would make Uoraco Grecley turn green with envy. Largo, extra largo fonts of typo permit the handling of vory large 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 charactors, acccnte letters, and "odd sorts" onublo us tc handlo difficult and intricate work in special lines. On the Top Floor Is our Blank Book Manufactory, ruling macheins, including on which is probably the largest south of Philadelphia; our various wiro stitchers, which will tako wiro from a spool, cut it the proper length, shapo it, and drive through a bix>k three-fourths of inch thick, or one not so thick, 120 a minuto; then our paging and numbering machines, board and paper cutters, book presses, which exert a pressure of twenty tons or more, perforating, punching and cyolcting machine!!, and tho engraving dopartmont?which latter is an innova? tion for this section. Our Establishment Is just opposite and overlooking tho lawn of Rotel Rounoke, (one of tho finest hotels in tho State,) which gives us a magnificent, bright, refreshing view at all limes. Our business office and press-room aro on tho ground floor (along with our prices). Each floor and depart? ment is connected with lho office by Electric Bells, Speaking Tubes, snd Elevators; and all departments aro bountifully supplied with all kinds of Labor and .Time-Saving Appliances. in Our Press-Room Can bo scon the rapid, diminutive and monster cylinder presses including the famous "Promise Keeper," turning out thousands upon thousands of sheets every day. Our largest and best papor cutting machino, the automatic cutting knifo sharp oner, and tableting appurtenances aro on this floor. Tho wonderful and powerfv! electric motor, which propels tho machines on all threo floors, is also on this floor. Ovor in ono corner, hardly noticeable, is kept in readiness, as a supplementary power, an improved Gas Engino, to be attached at momentary notico, in caso of accident to the electric motor, or for other causes. This precludes the possibility of a "holo" on tho powor question. And Our Stock-Room! If some of our friends who usually buy a quiro or so of paper at a * * timo, could look in upon this department, thoy would not ceaso won? dering for days. Wo do not exaggerate ,a particlo when wo say you can see A TON OP A KIND; yes, TEN TONS OP A KIND. You say: "What, ten Ions of ono kind of paper in a town liko Roanoko?" That's what wo said. Como and seo. And, besides, hundreds of other kinds of plain, fancy and unique; thcro aro shicks . of card-board, of a kind, as high as a man, and he need not be a Lilliputian, oithor. What Can We Not Do . With such facilities? A card, a circular, noto head, envelope, pam phlet, price list, cataloguo, book, railroad rate sheet or timo tablo, a ruled blank or a 1000-page lodger, on any or all, wo assuro our friends we are AT HOME, from January 1st to December 31st.

Roanoks, Va. BIRDS AND KITES. The Feathered Creatures Cannot Vnder Ktuu? the Strance Fliers. Many nmusiug experiences bnvo uceu tho lot of the scientists who havo been manipulating kites for scientific pur? poses, says tho Chicago News. Large birds uro always interested iu tho strango devicos floating iu the air aud cannot quito inako out what they are. Prompted by sharp curiosity, they hov? er around tho floating kito and subject themselves to tho danger of becoming entangled iu tho silken string aud be? ing dragged dowu to earth. No bird, however, has ever alighted on a kito or attacked ono. While ouo scientist was flying a train of five kites a couple of years ago a largo, silver tipped euglo came suddenly out of tho higher air and swooped round nud round tho first kite, looking agaiust the sunset sky like a huge silver ball. As tho t rain of kites was pulled in the eagle followed, visiting one kite and theu an? other, seeming uncertain just what to do. In a few minutes, wbou ho seemod to havo docided that thoy wore not good to eat, aud ho kuow nothiug about them, anyway, ho indignautly flow off aud was lost to view. Another experienco was had with a stork that camo from the New Jersey Bido of tho Hudson and flow straight for tho queer object iu tho air. Ho ap? parently had made up his mind to go straight through it, but changed aud dovo underneath. Ho went around and abovo it, and through n glass it could bo seen that ho cocked his cyo at tho intruder in a most comical manner. Ho stnrted away a few hundred feet, changed his mind, and camo swooping back. He finally reluctuntly went away, mystified over this qucor addition to tbo inhabitants of tho air. Whilo kites wero high in tho air one March flocks of geeso flying in tho wedge Hew over. They invariably stop? ped, broke up, hovered abovo the qucor object, and at last Blowly reformed and flow away. Whilo tho larger birds all como from heights abovo tho kite, tho small birds of tho nir will alight on tho string holding tho kito and sway to and fro. Cigarettes at Auction. A party of regulars in Chartcrland bad been out for some time in tho veldt, and their supply of minor luxuries had long since given out. Thero was not a pipe of tobacco to bo raised iu thewholo force, when somo good, thrifty soul pro? duced a packago of cigarettes and said that he would put them up to auction.
