LABORING TOR ALL SINNERS
mother" Van Colts Earnest Discourse
Last Evening.
What People Owe to God For All
That He Has Done
For Them.

Mother Van Cott preached at the
Sixth-street NJ E. Church last evening,
and the edifice was comfortably filed
with friends gathered to hear her
Several months ago she conducted
series of revival meetings in this city
and during her absence has continued
her labors in Montana, Wisconsin and
elsewhere.
Mrs. Van Cott took her text from
Luke, chapter ii;15: Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass, which
the Lord hath made known unto us.
In her own inimitable manner the
speaker explained how the shepherds,
after they had seen the glory of the
angel. heard the words of promise and
listened to the music of heaven, doubt
ed no longer but went forth to do the
will of the Master and see for them
selves that which had been revealed.
From that point she diverged, stat
ing that she had returned to find out
whether those she had left firm in the
faith We're still working in the vine
yard. Religion, she submitted, was
not all joy and happiness and singing

Nelson's Famous Order.

Captain Alfred T. Mahan contributes
to the Century an article on Nelson
at Trafalgar" Concerning Nelson s
famous order, Captain Mahan says:
After returning to the deck, Nelson
asked Blackwood whether he did not
think another signal was needed. The
Captain replied that he thought every
one understood perfectly what was ex-
pected of him. After musing a while,
Nelson said, Suppose we telegraph
that Nelson expects every man to do
his duty The officer to whom the
remark was made suggested whether it
would not read better, England ex-
pects." In the fleet, or, for the matter
of that, to the country, the change sig
rified little, for no two names were
ever more closely identified than those
of England and Nelson: but the latter
welcomed it eagerly, and at 11:3O the
signal which has achieved worldwide
celebrity flew from the Victory's mast
head and was received with a shout
throughout the fleet.

In previous issue of our paper
we asserted that the majority of
the white people of Tazewell are
Democrats, that if the colOred vote
was eliminated the county would
give a democratic majority. All
three of the town papers came ont
in positive denials, ridiculing the
very idea, giving us "down the

county, stating as clearly as posi-
BILE the reason for our faith, and
challenged our contemporaries to
show wherein we were wrong. Up
to this date neither of them have
said word. They are as silent
as Broker Chapman. Perhaps
they are proceeding upon the prin-
ciple, that "the least said, the bet
ter" We claim the field. While
nothing of special value is to be
gained, still we claim the victory.
We assert again our claim, that if
the cOlored vote was eliminated
Tazewell is democratic, according
to the figures. We propose to do
as our contemporaries nave done,
"shut up" after this, unless some
one challenges our position.

A WORD ABOUT PROMISES.

The Richmond Dispatch of the
past two Sundays contained an
article signed "Bryan Democrat"
Both articles were along the same
line and in some parts of them
they were precisely the same, word
for word. The author or authors
of the said articles were not talk
ing about the promises of Hanna
or the promised prosperity of
Mckinley, but for the time being
they were worrying themselves
much about the promises made to
Major Tyler in the last Democratic
convention. The fact that promi-
ses were made cannot be denied.
The fact that one convention can
not bind another cannot also be
denied, but individual Democrats
who made the promises so often
referred TO ought to keep them, for
their word has been given to that
effect.
1t will be remem bered that Mai
or Tyler, was defeated for the nom
nation four years ago by Mr.. OFFER
rail-. when the result was an.
nOunced, Mr.. Tyler's friends moved
to make the nomination unanimous,
which was done with a whOOp.
Mr.. O'Ferrall was sent for and he
made his speech of acceptance.
Major Tyler and Col. Buford were
sent for, and like men they en-
dOrsed the conventions work and
pledged their support to the nOmi-
nee. Major Tyler began his speech
by saying: 81 came here to make a
speech accepting the nomination
for governor, but you have given it
to another" Right here the con-
ventiOn arose Ell maSse and amidst
the waving of hats and wild en-
thusiasm the exclamation went up
from thousands of delegates,
WE'LL NOMINATE YOU NEXT
TIME!" TO say that that promise
amounts to nothing is something
we cannot understand. We freely
admit that it does not bind the
1897 convention, but the indi
viduals who uttered the above
pledged themselves to Major Tyler
and to deny it is folly.-RoanolIe

"Dear Sir: If you will allow a

The above is from

that our friend represents a class OF
Democrats and Republicans, too
who are not strong in the faith.
We believe in the Democratic doc

among that class known as "unre-
constructed southern rebels" and
therefore we speak. We have de-
termined not to be offensive in our
criticisms or statements, but
equally determined to be true to
our conviction, even though the
butter on our bread is spread Int
tie thinner thereby. A wishy-

public favor at the expense of true
conviction is contemplate in the

PASSING or WATTERS0N.

The papers have had a good deal
to say of THE Passing of Bryan. -
Why don't somebody say something
of the passing of Wattersou. for he
is evidently pGssing,-passing out

away from life long principles, and
must inevitably pass out of power

accorded him, and felt honored in so
doing. The State pertinently says:
Colonel Henry Watterson. who ut
one time stood high in the councils
OF the Democratic party of the South
anil who VAS regarded AS a very
brilliant editor, of late years has as
sociated himself with a small faction
which has separated from it's party.
de has become so uncertain aud or
ratio that even that faction is at
times uncertain whether he is for it
or against it. Last week Mr.. Wat

ANOTHER BUSINESS FAILURE.

+. Z. Cummings, one of the first
business men of POcahentas, made
an assignment Monday to w. j..
Turpin, as trustee, for the benefit
of his creditors. This is the fourth
failure here since January, but it
is not likely to be at the bottom of
the list very long unless things
change for the better very soon.
Mr.. Cummings liabilities are
about "a, 1000, with assets to more
than cover this amount, provided
the actual valuation can be realiz-
ed on them. He made desper-
ate and earnest effort to withstand
the storm Of depression, but when
he fOnnd that failure was inevita-
BILE, he did what he thought best
to the interest of his creditors

Mr.. Cummings is well known
here, and his misfortune is regret
ted by his friends. We hope the
situation in POca is not so bad as
our neighbOr seems to think. We
don't know how soon the inevita-
BILE may come to some one or more
of our Tazewell merchants, but
there seems to be no indications
of such disaster in the immedi-
ate future. Tazewell has a most
remarkable record in this respect
There hasn't been a straighout
business failure or assignment in
Tazewell for more than ten years.
We don't pretend however, to say
that we have no failures.
