THAT MEDAL BUSINESS.

THAT MEDAL BUSINESS.
Mr. Editor:
On my return from Princeton, I
was surprised to find my friends
somewhat excited over n card in the
CLINcH VALLEY News from Messrs.
Buchanan & HARRISON, in which they
denied Offering medal to the stu
dents of Tazewell High School.
1t is due me and the Board of Di-
rectors to say that I blundered in the
matter, and give an explanation
thereof.
1st. In the first place, my cata-
l"gue was gotten up quite hastily,
and consequently, there was little
time for deliberation or consultation.
I'd. Messrs. Buchanan & Harris
son and Mr.. j. S. Chatwell have been
giving medals to the school.
Sd. Ip my haste to get out my
catalogue, L clipped several para.
graphs from the old catalogue. At
the tim E, my attention was called to
the fact that these gentlemen had
not been consulted in regard to med
ais fof this year. But knowing the
liberality of these gentlemen and
their former friendship for me, ex-
claimed, "Let it go in just as it is.
They wont go back on me. I will
see them hereafter" Aud, indeed,
1 considered it one of the best Jokes
of the season. But it turns out to
be serious matter. Messrs. Blu
chanan & HARRISON do not wish to
encourage the Tazewell High School,
and hence their card. beg pardon
of these gentlemen. Mr.. Chatwell
has not "gone back" on us yet, and
has no notion of doing so. We stand
together.
4th. The medals will be given, all
the same. If the Principal is not
able to purchase them, he has many
friends who will rally to him in this
medal business, as we'll as all other
interests of the school.
