THE EARTHQUAKE.
Most Severe Ever Felt
in Tazewell.

Tazewoll was visited by the most
severe earthquake last Monday ever
felt here. While no damage was
done, our people were much shaken
up, and many of them very much
frightened. The shock occurred
about 2 p. IN. The only casualties
we have heard of were the shaking
down of some brick on one of Col
H. G. Alderson's chimneys, and the
fainting of one of our young ladies.
The shock came from the east, some
say from the south, and seemed to
have been most severe ir the vicinity
of Pearisburg Large quantities Of
stone and dirt were shakec down
i'll the railroad cuts, ETC., and chin
neys were damaged considerably
Several of our lawyers were there at.
tending court at the time, and testify
to the severity of the shock.
Houses were badly shaken up.
brick chimneys were thrown down.
The shock was felt all over tho state,
as well as Tennessee, Kentucky and
Ohio. But so far as heard from no
serious damage has been done.

TAZEWELL WHEATAND com.
Thousands for Import, 6ut
None for Export.

A great deal has been said, though
not enough yet, about raising our
own grain, If the farmers of Taze
well would consider for moment
how much they are losing, yearly, in
being compelled TO buy foreign
grain, surely they would make
greater effort to change their ways.
Notice few facts. At rough
guess not less than $4,000 OF Taze.
well money is spent every year by
the Merchants Of Tazewell County
for flour alone. Every dollar of this
money might be paid to the farmers
of Tazewell.
MIR. Robt Ireson, OF the Fudge
Roller Mills, says that he has bought
aiarge quantity of wheat from Wythe
County, because he could not get it
i'll Tazewell. He bought some at an
average of Sl.09 per bushel. Good
wheat in Tazew ell is so scarce that
he is compelled to buy abroad. He
bought good lot 10 Tnzewell for
which he paid 81 per bushel Much
OF the wheat raised in Tmzewel is Of
All inferior quality. The farmers are
not us careful in selecting their seed
MS they ought to be, and frequently
allow tho wheat and the corn
to become dnmaged after it is cut
and lhrcshed. The same miny DO
said of corn. A pure good corn OF
a decided color, either white or vel.
ow, is almost impossible to obtain
IL any quantity. When we remem
btr that we have fine farm lands,
and usually propitious seasons, wc
think the farmers ought to wake up
to their owl interests. Notwith
standing, most of them will continue
in the same old way.

The Bright Side.

Look on the bright side The
times may be hard, but it will make
them no easier to wear II gloomy aud
sad countenance. 1t ia the sunshine
and not the clouds that makes n
flower. There is always before or
around us that which ahould cheer
aid fill the heart with warmth. The
sky is blue ten times where blark
once. You haYe troubles, it may he,
so have others. None are free from
them; and perhaps it is well that
none should be. They give sinew aud
tone to life-fortitude and courage
to man. That would be dull sea,
and the sailor would never acquire
skill, where there was nothing 20 dis
turb the surface of the sea. 1t is
the duty of every one TO exact nll
the happiness and enjoyment he ean
within and without, and above all we
should look on the bright side of
things. What though things look
a little dark? The lane will turn and
the night will end in broad day. In
the long run the great balance rights
itself. What is i'll becomes we'll
what is wrong becomes right. Men
are notmade to hang down their
heads or lips, and those who do only
show that they are departing from
the paths OF true common sense and
right. There is more virtue in one
sunbeam than in a whole hemisphere
of clouds and gloom. Therefore, we
repeat, look on the bright side of
things. Cultivate all the warm and
genial-not the cold and repulsive,
the dark and morose.-Shenandoah
