Saturday was the end of court week
at Rocky Mount, the county Beat of
Franklin county. The crowd was not!
nearly so large as usual and there was
not a single light during the week.
Everybody went home with sound
heads and unblacked eyes. There
are three condenine ' murderers now
in jail there?George Early, Bird
Woods and Kann. Wood?. They
were .convicted of burning the ware?
house during the .v jKiuney-Mahone
campaign and were sentenced to he
hung. The pictures of these friends
should be photographed. Inate ras?
cality and ferocious vindictiveness
are features strongly depicted ou
their face George Early, especially
presents a face and shaped head which
commends special study for the phy?
siognomist. Bill Brown, the most
guilty oue, who no doubt concocted
the whole burning Bcheme, was
granted a new hearing by the Supreme
Court, and his new trial will com?
mence next Wednesday.

One reason, no doubt, why so many
people become "pulled down" in
health daring hot weather is that
they do not exercise . are to get their
nececsary amount of sleep. At the
very time when the demand! upon
the endurance are greater than at any
other period of the year, they devote
fewer hours to recuperating then
bodies in nature's perfect way than
at times when the demand upon the
physical reeources is only normal. Ol
course, it is to be remembered thai
this is the season when there is the
greatest temptation to neglect the
good old maxim of "Early tn bed."
At no other time of t he year is a bed
room less inviting than now, when,
especially if it is near the roof, as
bedrooms often are, its air will be
hot and stagnant until changed by
the evening breezes from the
lake. Ar no o! In r season, are the
temptations to sit out on the fron;
piazza so great as now. The latter
practice is one of t!. ? pleasantest ot I
those which characterize imericanl.
informal social life, and need not b>?
entirely sacrificed. Bin to devote to
it hours which should be passed in
sleep is to shorten lite, and one can
be of very little use to society after
lie is dead?or to himself :-i> her. r.o
far as the matters o: this mundane
Bphere are concerned As rhc coniio
Irishman in the rhyme puts it:

Mr. Andrew Huffman, who live:
near Tinkei Knob, tells us that while
out hunting recently for honey in the
mountains, be discovered a" rattle?
snake of enormous size, which ho de
spatchod, after a hard fought battle
with the reptile. According to An
drew's statement the snake measured
twelve feet in length, and when he
got himself into a coil "looked like a
washtub." Thfese?,so&kes are num?
erous in the mountains, but are sel?
dom seen, wo believe, o;:rsido o!
them.

Ex-Congressman W. L Scott, who
had often been urged to try butter?
milk for dyspepsia, received a letter
from an nnknowj fri"nd in .New O,
leans urging the same remedy. Hi
tried it and gained eight pounds in
two weeks. He said to the New York
Press: "My New Orleans friend, who
told me he was eighty-seven yeart;
old, had been using the butter-milk
forty years, had tet out a formula
for preparing the milk. The milk is
brought to the boiling point, but not
allowed to boil. Then the heavy pnrt
is skimmed off. The .vhey which re
mains is set, aside to cool. I drank a
a glass of it three or four times a
day as hot as I r-ould bear itm
my throat. After you get used to
it you will like it better than cham?
pagne. It has a delieiorm acid taste.
I have been a great sufferer with in?
flammation of the mucous membrane,
which caused my dyspepsia, and this
is the only think that has perma?
nently relieved me."

There isn't anything very pleasani
in waiting at a depot for a t.rain. bni
words cannot express the a"noyar.ee,
and at the same time the novelty, of
putting in a whole dght from sunset
to sunrise, expecting (according to
the reports of the railroad men) to
see it pull into the depot every min?
ute.
Such was the experience of a re?
porter of the Virginian on Tuesday
night at, Koanoke. Two freight trains
collided between that city and Salem,
and an engine and several cars were
ditched. At 7:05 p, ra., the hour at
which the train is due, the baggage
master chalked on the bulletin board,
"No-16 forty minutes late!" There
was then about forty passengers wait-1
ing for the train. "Not so bad" they j
agreed. The forty minutes up, the
chalk on the board read, "one hour
and forty minutes late." Then some
annoyance was manifested. A drum?
mer did some quiet cussing, and an
old women who hived six miles down
the road Baid she "wished to gracious
Bhe had walked." The others lounged
around until the baggage master rub
,Y MORNING, JULY 1
bed out tue "1" and substituted a
'2." I
"What I want to know," said a|
drummer, "is who is doing this lying!
about the train?" The baggage master I
then not his "dander"up and said that!
one thing was certain, he w.thii't ly?
ing, and when tl"* "S" disappeared '
and took it/- place, explained that
a fr?J?rhi train was iff the track near
Salern.
Then the old wcaiau entertained'
the crowd with what she kne-w about
railroading. and two men who had
sauntered off to got drinks, took n
look at the bulletin board and cussed
with unusual animation. Half the
crowd then dropped off to hunt up
quarters for the night, while others
piled about on trucks, trunks and
noses and tried to woo slumber, which,
like the train, came not.
Every hour until '.i a. m. the bag?
gage master trudged upstairs and got
fur u res. until his patience was ex?
hausted, and he murmured something
in a sta^e whisper which should not
be sind by a good railroad man. The
trainmen und trink haulers then
agreed that there w: s uo telling when
a wreck could be cleared away, und
one offered to bet $6 that it wouldn't
get in until 10 a. m. A plentitude of
refreshments in tie neighborhood,
however, kept up t: a spirits of some
of the watchers, ; ud one of them
dryly remarked as daylight came on,
that there wu?. ono c inclusion, 'lodg
ing hadn't cost auvt'ng."
THE WORK
Measure* IIHiijr Taken to Annum Hip ]
llcaltIifuln<:mn of Koanoko.
Lust night a two-horse wagon drove I
slowly down Salem avenue. It was!
filled with lime nnd on the front seat
sat a driver whose face contrasted |
strongly with the whiteness of his
his load.
Behind the vehicle, moved another
wa^oo with a long handled shovel in
his hand and every two minutes the
wagon would stop and rhe man who
walked behind would scatter lime
into the damp and noisome holes.
This is a good commencement aDd
the authorities of th>; city should ho
congratulated. But nevertheless this
measure lor the public is begging the
question at issue. The people want]
the cause removed and not simply
commenced by a thin coating of lime.
However, the TIMES is not disposed
to grumble. It is well pleased to sec
tbat its efforts toward cleanliness in
Roanoke, are bearing fruit. Lime is a
good i.hing. It eats away the animal
and vegetable :u;.:t?-r ; it is also cheap,
and that is a recommendation. 1,***
us have plenty of it, and then as soon
as the city is able, let us remove the
cause by striking at the very root of
the evil.

Tun Hammond an<l Bell Team* Try
their Hand-The Score?.
The last of the series of three games
of base hall between the Alexamlrias
ami the Roanokes was played yester
terday, and was as usual, an uninter?
esting and one-sided game.
The Roanokes, for the sake of cour?
tesy, put the very weakest battery at
their eommand in the Held and the
visitors selected Fitihugb and Carrol
for their battery. r;'he Roanokes won
by a score of 22 to 8
When it was decided several years
ago that the con v. ntion was to be
held here, the Alexandria papers
hooted at the idea, and were very in?
dignant that the "Lackwoods Jshould
be selected." If Roanoke is in the
backwoods, the recent series of games
of base ball have effectually estab?
lished the fact that backwoodsmen
are the best ball players. The only
thing the Roanoke association have
to regret is the fact that they lost
considerably on the Alexamlrias.
Following is the score.

Tlic Baltimore ana Onto I.nixl Com?
pany, of 'ialeni,
Offer 1.300 building lots for ?150
each. Weekly payments of $1.50.
The Baltimore and Ohio Land Com?
pany, of Salem, Va., owning 227 acres
of laud within half a mile of Salem,
Va., admirably located for budding
lots, have determined to offer 1.300
lots for sale at $150 each, including
corner lots, in the following manner:
Lot clubs of 100 mom hers each will
be formed. Each member thereof
paying $1.50 per week or $(i per
mouth until $150 is paid. Each mem?
ber will draw for a lot at the n "rula"
weekly drawing, and one lot will be
drawn every week until 100 lots are
drawn. The two members drawing
the last two lots wiil get two lots eaeh
instead of one.
The one drawing a lot can at any
time pay up on his lot and get a deed
to it. as the company own their land
in fee simple; or he can ~ one-third
eaeh, balance in one aL.'?- two years,
and the company will allow such pur?
chaser 10 per cent, discount given on
his purchase.
A purchaser building, within six
months, a house costing not less than
$500, on his lot, will nave a reduction
of 25 per cent, on hit. purchase, mak?
ing his lot cost $112.50.
Several cluhs will be organized in
this e!ty. so that a member can join
one or more clubs, ;..nd draw in each
club weekly by the payment of one
dollar and ($1.50) litty cents in each
club. No interest is charged on thete
payments whatever.
The land has been surveyed, laid
out in streets and the lots numbered.
The laid lies partially in the rear oi
the Roanoke College, and half a mile
from the center of the town. Water
mains run through the land, side?
walks an: also contemplated, ard
pleasant homes, c'ose to business,
could be erected at, small cost, either
as a home for the owner or to rent
out, as houses are in great demand in
Salem.
As a safe investment this is beyond
precedent, and enables one of small
means, to secure jjroperty constantly
on the increase in value.
Remember, one lot is drawn by
some one each week. Then you can
pay up on your iot after you have
drawn, by paying one-third cash
balance in one and two years, or as a
whole, at any time you may elect
within lb mouths from the time you
joineii the club, and secure the re
ductions named above.
Every member must pay his weekly
dues before he wiil b ? allowed to par
ricipate iu any -.rasing. If absent;,
some one wi.l are v U r him, provided
his dues are paid.
Do not be misled by any misrepre?
sentations made about this land, but
go to Salem and see it for yoursel:':
call on Mr. H. G. Brown, president of
the company, who will show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
150. some few are 50xl;3C. The lots are
well situated, and our plan of dispos?
ing of them renders it easy for the
men of small means to secure a home,
or make a paying investment, by the
expenditure of $1.50 par week. Salem
is a healthy, busy place, growing rap?
idly and presents jioie advantages for
investment thananv new town in the
State.
Every working man, be his means
large or small, can go into this enter?
prise and secure a. lot that will con?
tinue to increase in value.
All who wish to secure lots in the
Baltimore & Ohio Land Company
should call on Messrs. Oscar D. Derr
& Co.,the authorized agents for Roan?
oke City, who will fully explain the
manner of conducting the sale, and
can be found at their office from 8 a.
m. to 10 p. m.
There is no investment on which
one can realize 60 handsomely and at
so small a cost as to become a mem?
ber of the Baltimore & Ohio Lot
Clubs, unless it is to be a stockholder
in the Baltimore & C hio Land Com?
pany. We cheerfr.ily recommend
these lots to the public.
