unqualifedly true that he did cause it,
and under all circumstances it is right to
call attention to the fact that he seems to
be hoodoo. The persons, the parties
and the principles which adopt him for a
chief seem to go to smash just as the
Emporia train did.
The poor OLD Democratic party tried to
carry him, and into the ditch, it went.
The Omaha newspaper tried to carry him,
and one or the other had to quit. The free
silver people tried to carry him, and every
word he said on the subject drove away
voters. The railroad men tried to carry
him on his promise to help them strike
whenever they got ready, and the result
was party in power in Kansas, Texas and
elsewhere which has not done thing but
pursue railroads to the end ofcutting down
earnings, which means cutting down wages.
The list of disasters which have gone
along with Bryan might be protracted
without limit, but these are enough toshow
that however good man he may be he is
certainly hoodoo Fortunately, although
an incident of the Kansas City Carnival he
is in no wise responsible for it or legitimate
ly connected with it.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
Their Courage in Nominating Ticket
Commended by Democrats.
Petersburg Index Appeal

A good citizen of Virginia ought to COM
mend the action of the recent Lynchburg
convention in making declaration of its
principles and in putting forth full State
ticket in exposition and championship of
those principles,
The personnel of the ticket is entitled to
respect The nominees are native Virgin
ians, and, we believe, all former Demo
Gratis. We have known Mr.. McCaull init
mately since his entrance into politics as
Democrat, and have watched him in bis
transitions to readiustment and to Re-
publcanism. He is man of fair abilities,
tireless energy and great force of charac-
ter. AS campaigner and rough, roll
and tumble debater on the stump he has
few equals and probably no superior in
the State. No one knows better than he
how to catch and control crowd. In the
days of readjustment he frequently meas
ured swords with Major Daniel with no
discredit to himself. In addition to his
legislative services he has been clerk OF the
Virginia House of Delegates, collector of
internal revenue and once or more unsuc-
cessful candidate for Congress. With this
experience he ought to be a very well
equipped campaigner, and it is to be hoped
that he and Major Tyler, who is also a
powerful stumper, will meet in joint dis
cussion.
The other nominees are clean and capa-
BILE men and will do honor to the party
and to the State. Mr.. Lyons is well known
in this section of Virginia as an accom-
plished gentleman and an able lawyer.
There is not in the present ticket faint
of the old elements of carpetbagism and
scallawagsm that made Repubicanlsm SO
odious in this State quarter of a century
ago.

The ToHn Of Merton Visited by a
Large Fire.
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR LOSS
Amount of Insurance not Known, but
Some of the Losses Held by Compa-
nies Repre- sented by Chapman &
Hurt.

On Monday night the town of Norton
had fire which destroyed large part OF
of the business portion of the town. 1t Is
supposed to have started from the explo-
sion of lamp in the rear part of Lndseys
hotel. The fire destroyed Linds ey's hotel
and stock of merchandise, Halls hotel and
saloon, Bates & Co.'S stock of goods, Clinch
Valley Supply Co.'S, store and stock, Taylor
& Co.'S. store and Norton Land and I'M
provement Company's office and several
out houses. The fire reached the store
of j. H. Wingfeld & Co. on another block,
but for the heroic efforts of the fire depart
ment it would have destroyed the entire
block in which Wingfelds & Co.'S etore is
situated. The stock OF that firm was
damaged by removal from building.
The total loss amounts to about S25 900.
The only insurance known to us was carried
by Chapman & Hurt, of Tazewell, which Is
as follows: On the Norton Land and I'm
provement Co.'S. office building, contents
and out buildings S756. On the stock of
Wingfeld & Co. $3.50, divided among
four companies.
The Palatine Qns.) Co. also carried
$256 under schedule on the Norton Land
and Improvement Co.'S. risk.

Col. H. C. Anderson was out hunting on
Monday and was using the fine English
double barrel gun which Col. May
presented to him last winter. Col. AL
derson aimed his gun at piece of game
and fired, when the right hand barrel
burst and was torn into shreds nearly half
the length of the. The gun was quite a
wreck but Col. Anderson escaped Injury.
If it had been common gun, he, no
doubt, would have suffered serious injury.
A few days ago the editor was taken with
q very severe cold that caused him to be in
a most miserable condition. It was un-
doubtedly bad case of la grippe and rec
ognizing it as dangerous he took immedi-
ate steps to bring about speedy cure.
From the advertisement Of Chamberlain's
Cough remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we concluded
to make first trial of the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results, is
putting it very mildly, indeed. 1t acted
like magic and the result was speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hesitancy
in recommending this excellent cough
remedy to anyone afflicted with cough or
cold in any form.-The Banner of Liberty,

Some Disasters EVidenceing the truth
of This Claim.
Kansas City Journal Rep.l
In assigning causes for bad effects there
appears to be no reason why one mistake
involved should not be held as much to
blame as another. In the recent wreck at
Emporia the west-bound train was late
because the chief of free silver forces.
Mr.. William ]. Bryan, could not get
through the important business Of cheap
talk to the people soon enough to permit
the train he wanted to ride on to start on
its regular time. Hence the late train
and the heavy train and the "double-
header" and the changed orders and the
confusion of trainmen and the wreck.
Poor Jim 3ranham, one of the dead
engineers, is said to nave been an en-
thusiastic Bryan man. In one way it is
absurd to charge Bryan with having
caused the wreck. In another way il is

Dogs Carried Free.
JAMES w. SMITH,
Doran, Va, Oct. 4, '97.

During the hunting season, i. E., from
October 1, 1887, to March 81, 1898, Nor
folk and Western Railway Company will
take free in baggage cars, when accompa-
MED by owner, and at their risk, the dogs
ofsportsmen or hunting parties, not ex-
ceeding one dog to each man.
Owners must show their tickets to agent
or baggage agent, that dogs may be prop
erly way-billed or to train baggageman
and they must furnish chain, so that dogs
1y be securely fastened in baggage cars.
After March 81, 1898, the regular dog

It's a Good hing

That our tastes don't all agree. Think
what an unhappy world this would be if all the
young men fell in love with young woman, OF If
all of the old men thought there 'ony one girl
in this world" It would leave lots Of wall-fowers
on the bargain table, wouldn't it? Last week in one
of the plays in the Hall one of the actors said: Ex-
cuse me Colonel" and half Of the audience roared
with laughter while others did not see the point
During another scene another fellow was heard to
break forth in ecstacy all aone and in the most
tragical part of the play three others were bubbng
over with delight as tear drops trckled down the
cheeks of Others Strange aint it, how tastes do
differ sometimes? Think how we'd feel if we all
thought alike. Think how we'd look if Weall dressed
alike The other day one was looking at asult
here and another man came along and said: ~
wouldn't wear that to a dog fight" The first man
said he wasn't buying it to wear to a dog fight, be-
cause he didn't know the other fellow was going to
fight, That wasn't at all sociable we like our
customers to be- but it shows how tastes differ.
We've got clothes fit to wear anywhere, to
church, to Sunday school, to your best girl to
dog fight or most anywhere else We've never been
in position to show SO many different kinds of
clothes since we've been in business as we now.
We're somewhat in the position of a visitor
who came out Of the gate of the fair grounds few,
days ago. He said he many good looking Ia
dies in all directions that he wished he had more
eyes, and he said, hurrah for old Tazewell Strange
amt it, how tastes do agree sometimes. We've got
so many good looking clothes that we wish we had
more room to show them
We are showing Mems Suits from 81 to $25,
Mems Overcoats from $3.50 to $3.50, Children's
Suits from 81 to &c. Chdren's Overcoats from So to
$5, Boys Suits from So to $40, Boys Overcoats
from $3.50 to $780, and Macintoshes for men,
youths, boys and kids You'll say you never saw SO
many good looking clothes in Tazewell at once, and
we'll say you never saw better lot. Come and
