In a recent lecture the Rt. Rev. A. q. Garrett, D. D., of the diocese of }allas, told several amusing anecdotes n the pronunciation of several Amer Ecam states by the secretary of the PenrAnglican congress that assem- bled about the time of the queens iu bflee in England. In calling the name of Bishop Kinsolving of Texas the secretary gave the acc5mt on the last syllable of Texas. The prelate, Bish- op Garrett says, stood it for some time, and, losing his patience, he walked over to the secretary and said to him: Lock here, if you don't pronounce the name of that state right I'll punch your head" It is needless to say to those who have seen the splendid form of Bishop Kin solving towering six feet and six inches tall, and developed in propor- tlon, that the secretary, after that re- hinder, pronounced Texas correctly. That, however, was not the only mis- take of the secretary. For instance. he called the bishop of Tennessee "the bishop of Tennassey,' while the bishop of Michigan had to submit to the sobriquet of the Bishop of My chicken and Bishop Wells of Spo- kane refused to be called the s.Bishap of Spoken"

The amethystineI lines of evening were growing into darker purples and the purples into black. On the little vine-clad porch of the old house the two sat silent, as they had been sit ting since the sun had thrown it's last long farewell shadows across the fields. What thoughts were in their minds no look or motion of theirs be- trayed. They were as silent as the stars, which one by one began to peep above the dark lines of the hills. Here

Bank Cashier In q New Role.

We frequently read about bank cashiers
running of, but it is new thing to hear
of one being "run away with" Tazewell
has a record of that kind. On last Friday
afternoon Mr. Henry Preston, the popular
and efficient cashier of the Bank OF Cllnch
Valley, brought his fine Spendrlit mare
from her stable to exercise her IN the
stable yard, for the amusement OF his
children. He then took her to his front
yard that she might browse on the tender,
iuicy bluegrass that looked so tempting.
While he was holding her with only a
halter on, and no saddle, he was tempted
to get on her back to test her moving
qualities. As the sequel will show he had
fine chance to test her gaits and also his
capacity as bareback rider. Mr.. Pres
ton thought he would ride the mare out into
the street and around by the alley east OF
his lot to the stable, and undertook to do
so. She moved along quietly until the
corner of Railroad Avenue and the afore-
said alley was turned. Then she began to
quicken her pace and by the time she
reached the point where she should have
stopped to enter the stable lot she was
going pretty fast, in fact too lively for MIR.
Preston's comfort or peace of mind. She
rushed by the stable, and up the hill she
went until Mechanics Avenue was reached.
There her rider attempted to turn her
westwardly course, so as to make herrun up
hill and tire her out, if possible. But the
mare concluded to 60 the other way. In
his efforts to turn her Mr.. Preston was
pitched forward astride the animals neck.
He managed to work himslf to her back
again, without being thrown. Down the
hill, by Messrs Doak's and Crawford's at
that rapid and wild gait which runaway
horses 60, the spirited animal rushed. She
flew across the branch at the base Of the
hill, at one bound cleared the street railway
and turned up Tazewell Avenue, At the
Seminary she turned to the left and ran
with unabated vigor along the Wytheville
road until she passed the Cemetery. There
she seemed to have become satisfied and
stopped. Mr.. Preston turned her around
and rode her back home, satisfied that he
knew something about bareback riding.
His friends insist that he shall join Rob
inson's Circus and be published to the
world as its champion bareback rider.
Our suggestion is that the Management Of the
Tazewell Agricultural Fair secure his SER
vices for the exhibition next Fall and have
him perform the ''Preston bareback act. "

Struck Oil at Last.

Monday morning the company who
have been boring for oil on lands near
Princeton, made a strike that bids fair to
to be gusher. They have been working
day and night for probably six months
and had reached depth of two thousand
feet when the strike was made. As yet
there is no telling whether it is there in
paying quantities or not, but indications
are that it is.
Experts say that there is oil in this sec
ton and this strike proves the assertion.
The company operating is composed of
a number of our citizens, AMI they are in
great spirits over the strike.-Bluefeld

ATLANTA, GA, April "a special from
Rome. Ga, to the Constitution says that
J.P. Atkins, the 17-year oldson of Georgia's
governor, was married to-day to Ada Byrd
a. year.oid Atlanta girl.
The bride is the granddaughter of Mrs.
Mary E. Bryan, the authoress. Governor
Atkinson and G. p. Byrd, the brides
father, had offered SlO0 to any officer who
would arrest the eloping couple and pre-
vent them from marrying. The boyslipped
away from the executive mansion here in
Atlanta yesterday morning and went to
Kingston. He found his sweetheart with
relatives near there.
An appointment VAS made for today,
and the couple we're married in the coun-
try. Then they went to Rome and regis
tered as ]. P. Atkinson and wife. The po-
lice found them, and notified the governor,
who left Atlanta tonight for Rome.

A Thrifty Manufacturing Enterprise.

We have been urging in quiet way the
wisdom of starting number of small man.
ufacturing enterprises in and about our
town. 1t has been our conviction that
such industries would pay those who en-
gagged in them and would add greatly
to the business interests of the community.
A recent visit to the wooden mills Of Mr..
NJ. l.. Peery, near town, has deepened our
convictions. Mr.. Peery has asmall factory,
but one that is giving substantial employ
ment to a dozen or more persons, and
paving the owner handsome return for
his capital invested, and good wages for
supervision. There are $50 spndles in the
factory that spin 125 lbs. Of wool each day,
four cloth looms and one blanket loom!
with a capacity of $50 yards day. Moth
ing but good grade of wool is used in the
manufacture Of cloth and blankets, which
insures to purchasers safety from shoddy
fabrics. The dyeingis done by steam, ,and
the colors are pretty and fast. The cloth
and blankets turned out are excellent, land
Mr.. Peery finds ready market for all
he manufactures, in Tazewell and adjoin-
ing counties. He has in operation, in con-
nection with the woolen mill, full roller
process Touring mill, which has a capacity
of 80 barrels day. Two grades of patent
flour are made: "Peery's Patent Pearl"
and 'Peery's Sea Foam.' Both are pop
ular brands, and find ready sale in our
markets. Mr.. j. w. Ports, an expert
enced miller, is in charge of the Touring
mill

Lee to Hold His Post.

New YORK, April A Washington
special to the World says:
The President is availing himself of every
reliable means of information as to the real
state of affairs in Cuba. Consular reports
are carefully read. The long and finally
effective effort of General Fitzhugh Lee in
protecting the lives of citizens of the Uni
tel States have been fully appreciated.
The Administration is behind him. 1t is
not likely that he will be allowed to resign
for several months.
Although wearied by his long struggle
for American rights, General Lee will stay
to protect them now that he has that
power. He will not have to ask for war
ships. The palace in Havana has changed
its policy, and Americans no longer stay
"incommunicado" over the treaty limits of
seventy-two hours.

A POLITICAL RIOT.
DiSgraceful Street Scene in Hunting
ton, w. Va.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, April 3. "A scene
unparalleled in the history Of Huntington
was witnessed on Third Avenue, the lead
ing thorougbfare of the city, at II O'Clock
this morning. 1t was riot between Dem
ocrats and Republicans, the result ofThurs-
day. city elections.
The fight began between Dir, L, f. Sage,
Republican leader, and George Ingram,
Democratic leader In five minutes fifty
people became involved, and knives and
clubs were used, with telling effect on both
sides,
Women, who were on the street, fled for
their lives and riot reigned supreme for
half an hour.
The police did not try to quell the dis
turbance, but rushed in and used their
clubs on the heads of private citizens
against whom they had personal grudges.
Matters finally quieted down, but an
other outbreak is expected any moment
1t is impossible at this writing to give a
list of the injured 1t is not, however,
believed that any Of them will die,

FOUR BUTTONS IN A HOLE.
The Members of n Gang OfAssassinS Swung
BY the Neck.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, April 2 THE mem
bers Of the Borrego or Button" gang Of
assassins were executed in the Jail yard
here at 910 O'Clock this morning. The
Jail was under the guard of Territorial
militia all night and an additional guard
was put on this morning. There was no
disturbance of any kind.
The convicts spent the night in prayer,
and at 9:05 walked from their cell across
the Jail yard and mounted the scaffold
steps without tremor. They made no
statement. Vicar General Fourchegu said
the last prayer, and in the most perfect
and orderly manner the fatal drop fol-
lowed. Only Patricio Valincia's body
showed the least sign Of of life after the
drop. He died of strangulation. The
neck of the Borrego brothers and Alafrid
were broken. The bodies were cut down
at $3.50, at 10 O'Clock were placed in pine
coffins and turned over to their families.

All yes, this life is full of days
That lonely are and sad,
That seem to hold no single hope
To bid the heart be glad;
And yet, we know behind the cloud
Whose course will soon be run,
There will appear to us again
The bright and radiant sun.
Again, we suffer woundings deep,
No matter how they're given,
That cast their gloom upon our hearts,
To hide the smiles of heaven
Ireckon that tbs wiser far,
Forgetting petty sorrow,
To grasp the sunshine of today
And hope for peace tomorrow.
