"Tboy " say ?'all things come to him wno waits," but wo have no been waiting, and wo don't propose to whit. Wo KNOW our prices are right, our work A-l, and if you don't RcinoK?, V?. M_ To BALL & MAY Dr. T?tm?_ GROCERS bring us work we will come, attor it, 'in on* way or another, either by bringing to your notice our prices, facilities and quality ol execution, or personal interviews. "Wo are not grumbling; far from it. We'vo had our share ; we are still getting our sharo. But we have placed at your disposal a modern, and almost ideal, printing establishment, with ?jucn facilities as to command admiration from all ith whom we havo business intercourse. Wo are not waiting; havon't tinio to wait An Up-to-Date Printing Office. Ono of tho vows tho writer made when he was "devil" in a country printing office 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 time ho hardly felt the forco of tho vow, for he has learned after yoara of experience that it is necessary immediately after ono "going ovor " to start at tho beginning and go over it all again. It ncvor ends?just liko a housokoopor's duties?but not like tho boy who sees no uso in washing hia f.ice because it will get soiled again. But, a clean printing establishment is just as necessary for tho propor execution of work in our line as light and heat and power. And tho vow has boen kept. Come and see. We Do Not Believe Thoro is ar.othor city h tho State which sends such a small propor? tion of its orders for printing and blank books away to our Northern friends as Iloanoko. All honor to our bankers and business men; that is?.aost all of it. Wo must resolve 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 mean to be egotistical at all; but combining these things to bring forth a harmo? nious result has been our study?and wo do claim to know our ousincss ngnt thoroughly. All "logether Ono ol the things which has contributed largely to the success of our establish men t is tho systematic working "together ' of all our forces in all departments. This has reducod to a minimum tho "lost motion" which is usually to bo found in large industries. If a minute can bo saved here, another there, it is done?an hour is gained?thus wo take caro cf tho fleeting moments. Five minutes Roanoke,V a. RSM/I'ED of - wasted daily by each of our employes would moan tho interest on $10,000 a year. In thoso day3 of closo margins each moment of timo must bo productive. Quite Recently, Too Tho times aro hard, money tight, everything handled cconom. ically?but it cannot possibly stay that way. So wo aro pushing ("not shoving'-) ahead, just as though good times wero upon us. "Wo cannot afford to lag behind or worry; but in times of peace wo aro preparing for war. And wher it comes wo will have an estab tisnment thai can taue care 01 anytniug mat cornea?uuu things that do not como now. Kecontly wo placed an order ior ono of the largest lots oi new typo over given at one timo in Virginia. On the Second Floor A long row ol small presses, used for cards, envelopes, statements, noto heads, tickets and small work. Hero, also, is probably tho most wonderful pieco of mechanism in our establishment?tho Kailroad Ticket Printing Machine Think of it tho next timo you purchase your tickot. Secured behind iron bars and doublo locks, it at once suggests govornuicnt bonds, with all these safeguards. Further Along On this floor is tho lype-sotting dopartment, "/hero export minds ar.d fingers think and act rapidly and correctly, interpreting at times hand? writing that would mako Horaco Greeley turn green with envy. Largo, extra largo fonts of typo permit tho handling of very large orders in a most satisfactory and expeditious manner. Our forco 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, acconte letters, and "odd sorts" enable us to handlo difficult and intricate work in special lines. On the Top Floor Is our Blank' Book Manufactory, ruling macheins, including on which is probably tho Kfgest south of Philadelphia; our various wiro Stitchers, which will tako wire front a spool, cut it tho proper length, shape it, and drive through a book three-fourths of inch thick, or ono not so thick, 1JU a minute; then our paging and numbering mat nines, board ami paper cutters, book presses, which exert a pressure of twenty urns ur more, perforating, punching and eyeleting machines, and the engraving department?which lattor is an innova? tion for this section. 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 otlice and press-room are on tho ground, floor (along with our prices). Each floor and depart? ment is connected with tho office by Electric Bells, Speaking Tubes, and Elevator-; and all departments are bountifully supplied with all irinds of Labot and Time-Saving Appliancen.

VA Slack & WHITE WOMAN AND FASHION. latest In Dress Skirts?A Qown For a Garden Party- Metal and Enamel Belts and Neckbands. Onco upon a timo tho woman whe wished to economize took hex* bodice to a celebrated fitter and let n seamstress make her skirt, but wo bnvo changed all tbut now. As The Puritan says, tho woman who makes a science of dress knows that that intangible thing which she calls "stylo" depends upon her out? line. She may buvo tho most beautiful DRESSED FOi: A GARDEN PAHTV. materinl in tho world, and it may be cut into shapes and figures of adorn? ment whose intricacies bewilder the eye. hut if the outline of the whole figure is not satisfying, harmonious and full of something better than piotnresqucne.ss, something more to be desired even than grace?uiodisbness?tho gown is not a success, and this supremo quality is given by the set of tho skirt moro than anything else. Tin- following points concerning the new skirts aro also furnished by the authority just quoted: The new skirts are froo from crino? line, haircloth or any artificial distend- ! er. They are not narrow, but fall in full, handsome folds. Many of them an; fitted to the figure by tucks all around, but the most graceful have a plain front breadth and largo plaits turned toward tho front over the hip.-, for large hips are fashionable just now. There is: an unusual proportion of thin materials this season?organdies and canvases in linen and cotton, und silks. Among the summer silks, tho flowered satin finished foulards, aro the most to be desired. It is not necessary that these pretty things should be made up over silk. Many people find them much more desirable for summer wear when com? bined with colored lawns. Tho lawns aro more delicate in color than former? ly, and the under skirt is as beautiful in finish as tho outer, in somo cases being ruffled with lace to tho knee or above. The outer skirts of all the thin silks | and satins us well as tho muslins aro made separate from the linings, giving a very full and airy effect. The skirts of the gowns aro all fluffy. Old fash? ioned bareges and mozuinbiques are re? appearing as new fashioned goods. Spanish flounces, accordion plaiting and ruffles, besides lace insertions and tucks, uro all used as skirt garniture. One pretty white organdie skirt has not a scrap of lace, but is trimmed *? fie km c with close laid ruffles of tho or? gandie. A good sample of this sort of costume is shown in a garden party dress. The separate skirt of the moment is of black satin. Tho velours poplins which tho manufacturers pressed upon ns all winter have never been popular. Tho full, rich skirt of plain black satin is tho accepted background for tho real? ly effective bodices for little dinners and the theater. Those skirts must al? ways bo worn with h-igh necked bod? ices, nothing being in worst; taste than a low necked "emergency waist." It is tho last confession of being induced to a makeshift for an evening dross. Belts and Neckbands. Fancy metal and t mimel belts set with colored stones arc now much worn in conjunction with neckbands or orna? ments fo match. These es? icdiugly pretty hands look besl sewed mi a dark A JEWELEU BET. velvet band, which is tied round tins high collar of the dress. Tho correspond? ing belt is made in divisions of leather and connected with bronze or other metal medallions nud rings. Tho clasps nud medallions in both belt und neck? lace are ornamented with colored enam? els and stones Hui'haxurd Jottings. Purple is fashionable this season by request of Queen Victoria, who decided on purple for (ho jubilee color. A report frt m tho office of tho regis? trar general of ISnghind shows that tlx re are more female than male irentcuuriaiis. It is no nnconimbu thing in France, nnd often in Knglund, for an old lady to adopt a costume which fi?ilfl her and which is more or lesn individual, and wear it altogether, without tiny attempt to follow the changing fa-hums.

He is blown hither and thither by the winds of disease. A traveler by rail or steamer has a regular track. "He is reasona? bly certain of reaching a given destination; but the balloonist is at the mercy of totally uncertain elements. No track, no course, no rudder, no certainty that any breeze may not bring destruction. So with the sick man. His disordered constitution renders every natural operation uncertain. No organ can be depended on to do its normal work. The stomach will not digest food; the liver will not filter bil? ious poisons from the blood; the kidneys and skin will not excrete the waste. No regular nourishing or purifying process is going on. There is no certainty except the certainty of suffering. In all dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated con? ditions, what is needed is to change the ab? normal, erratic operations of the system into a natural, regular, straightforward pro? gress in the right direction. Nothing in the world will do this so rapidly and certainly as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It directly regulates the vitalizing func? tions. It sets the stomach and liver into natural, healthy operation and gives the blood-making glands power to manufacture an abundance of pure, rieh blood. It creates appetite; builds up muscular strength, and banishes nervousness and neuralgia. As it can be assimilated by the weakest stomach, its nourishing properties are far superior to nauseating cod liver oil in severe coughs and all wasting diseases.
