Among the many idyllic McKinleyisms
which have of late adorned the pages of
the erterprising American press, the
following from the New York Sun are
Of the best:
Aass G-O-Pterness become Han
narhcy? Mckinley writes it: Hanna
Domini 1896. Religion is different from
politics-Mc Kinley can't be Methodist
and a Hannabaptist at the same time.
There may be few Hannachronisms in
the Mckinley history. Is there Han
nanias among the ranks of Mckinley?
McKinley's silence is due to the appli-
cotton of Hannasthetics.
The herald., 1896-06-21

Every mothers son or daughter who
has with patience, industry and inge-
nuity coaxed into existence a slightly
lawn, will sympathize deeply with Mrs.
McKinley's grief over the destruction
by the ruthless mob of congratulators
of the grassy eXpanse fronting the dom
icile of the Republican presidential nom
inee. Incidentally the affair demon
strates that healthy percentage of the
American people are not entirely iino-
cent of the attributes of idiocy.

The First Presbyterian Church

| Editor Herald: There may be no gen.
! eral interest in the history of any single
religious organization, but principles
| may be involved in the proceedings of
| any church which concern both the body
! polite and the body ecclesiastic.
The facts in this case seem to be that
| the First church desires to change its
! place of worship. and by vote of 132
out of a membership of 800 C75 voting nay)
| instructed its trustees to build on q
| site so remote from the body of the con-
gregation than only about 70 members
| resided within an area of four suare
miles of the proposed location.
| That so small a representation of the
| congregation voted for the change
should have given pause to the pro-
, ject, especially when 2S7 names were
| signed to a protest against this action Of
1872. But the plan was carried out.
| AS was pertinent and proper the Pres
! bytery (whose offices, like that of our
! civil courts. is to defend the minority
and the right at this stage interposed,
and said the property of the First church
| belongs to and is for the benefit of all,
| might does not make right, and If ma
| jority proposes to deprive the minority
| of their religious privileges by carry
ing their church beyond their reach it
! is Christian and equitable that a fair
| division of property accumulated by the
| contribution of all should be used to
| erect places of worship that shall be
\ convenient LOT all. OtepS were ldheIl
| by the Presbytery to secure this fair
dealing. and the general assembly IAN
| swering in the church, to the supreme
court of the nation) has sanctioned and
| ratified in all essential points this action
\ of the PreSbytery. In the face of tho
decision of the assembly and the pre-
sumed justice and soundness Of the
| judgment so deliberately given, this
| church now says we sever our relations
| to the Presbytery and to the Presbyter-
! ian church; 1. e., if we may not retain
| our plunder in the church we know how
we can escape beyond its jurisdiction.
| with all the funds of the rich and the
poor, of those within and those we have
deserted and left homeless, and the
| funds now by this action become our
quiet and unquestioned possession
We have heard of honor among
| thieves, but never before have we heard
of a majority of a church saying TO a
| minority and to it's Presbytery ana TO
| the general assembly, you have no
| rights which we are bound 10 respect.
1t was canny that in the resolution
of the First church separating from the
! Presbyterian denomination the real
| merits of the case are so far obscured
| that no reference is made TO the num-
| dreds of other members who In their
vexatious differences have "fallen out
| side the breastworks."

TO THE EDITOR

(The Herald under this heading prints
communications. but does not assume re.
sponsibility for the sentiments expressed.)
The herald., 1896-06-21

A vast army of people will be employed,
as they are now, in sinful occupations,
while another vast army will be en-
ployed in trying to wipe the former out
Of existence, which will of course not be
done.
Good and evil reside in the same thing.
But the use thereof made of 1t makes it
either good or evil. A stone Is neither
good nor evil. and having no feeling or
sensation or perception of things. right
or wrong. can good or evil be applied to 1t
in the sense 1t would be applied by man.
Tut stones may be used by man In BEN
eticial way that one would consider good
or in an injurious way that one would
consider evil
So / have come to consider that sin
and it's concomitants are actual necessi-
ties for the equilibrium of society. Even
the obnoxious word male" in our state
constitution is a good thing. for 1t has
furnished a number of brainy woman
suffragists employment that they might
otherwise not have had.

The Jaeger Band Concert.

The concert given by the Jaeger
Concert Band, Friday night last, was
n great treat to lovers of fiue music.
The music by the band wus of high
order of excellence, and the thanks
of the community are due to Col.
Iueger for his liberaliiy in engaging
the services Of Prof. Hallett rs in
structor for it. The music by the
orchestra, consisting of selections
from Scuthwell, WaldteDfel and Geo.
Resey, would reflect credit on q
much larger Town than Tnzswell, and
many are the compliments we have
heard passed by strangers who were
present at the concert, OIL the music
rendered. The orchestra is com
posed of Mrs. Leola Sexton, Prof
Hallett, Messrs. w. H. Anderson, A
c. Lilly and y. d. Kits,
Two of the most enjoyable features
of the evening were the Baritone and
Trombone solos by Messrs. Kits and
Lilly, respectively,
But il was left to Mr.. w. H,

Anderson TO carry off the honors of
the evening in his rendition of two
violin solos. Mr.. Anderson is a first
class amateur violinist and whenever
his name appears on program the
people arc always certain of rich
treat.
The Jaeger Band is just about
eighteen months old, and up to about
tho middle of September had no
instructor, but whom tue Tazewell
Seminary and Tazewell College em.
ployed n teacber of music for their
respective schools, Col. Jaeger very
generously came forward and offered
to pay a large part OF his salary il
the right man was engaged, provided
he would consent to give q certain
amount of his time to the band. This
was done, and Prof. Elmer w Hal
lett, OF Boston, was employed, and
the result is that Tnzewell has one Of
the best brass bands in tho State of
Virginia.
We understand that there is come
doubt as to Prof. Hallett's returning
to Tazewell next year. Will the peo
pie Of Tazewell be outdone in gener.
osity by Col. Jaeger, or will they
come forward and assist the band in
their effort to keep Prof. Hallett
with us. at least for another year2 If
we do this Tazewell will have one of
the best, il not the best, bands in the
State. We hope when our people
are approach d on this subject they
will contribute to this cause AS liber
ally as they can, for it is matter i'll
which weshould all take a great deal
of pride.

Another old Citizen Gone.

The many friends of Judge S l..
Graham in Tazewell aud adjoining
counties will hear with regret of his
death, which occurred Mt his home
on Plum Creek, near town, Monday
night at 8 O'clock.
Judge Graham was ono of Taze.
wells Oldest and most respected citi-
zcns, and would have boon so Years
old lad ho lived until September
next.
For many years of his life ho took
great interest in public affairs, and
was apr ointod United States Mar
shal by President Cleveland during
his first term, but owing to i'll health
he resigned the position.
Judge Graham in "anG bellum"
days was n prosperous and SUCCESS
fol farmer and grazisr, living about
six miles eust of Tazewell. He he
came Clerk of our County and Cir.
cult Court, and when the great ques-
tons 1860 '6l were calling for repre-.
sentative men,. he aud Major WIN
p. Cecil were called to represent this
county in the memorable convention,
which, in the spring of 1861, passed
the ordinance OF secession. In that
eody lie was n conservative man, but
when the ordinance was passed 10
one was more earnest in the South
ern cause than he. When the war
closed he was financially wrecked,
aud with the spirit of q philosopher
he accepted his changed situation in
life, and, leaving the scenes of his
prosperity, he removed to the county
of Buchanan aud began the practice
of law, afterwards becoming Judge
of the County Court OF Buchanan
and Dickinson counties.
He retained his mental faculties in
all their strength up to the time of
his denib. and was charming com
panion and friend. Ho was II brother
of Col. VIM. l.. Graham, of the Six
teenth Virginia Cavalry, who sur.
wives him, and an uncle of our towns
man. Judge S. y. Graham.
Last September Judge Graham
and the late W. G. Baltimore, ESQ,
assembled at the home of Judge
Graham to celebrate the birth day OF
these two gentlemen, and among
those present was Rev. b. w. S
Bisop. and it was agreed to meet at
tho home OF Mr.. Bottimore at the
coming anniversary in September.
But God had ordained otherwise, as
they have passed to that Gland
whence no traveller returns," and will
celebrate their next anniversary in
that spiritual building, That house
ne made with hands-eternal i'll the
heavens"
He leaves large number OF friends
and relatives to mourn bis loss.
