Quarterly Meeting.
Communicatod.l

Communicated
In the days pas! the quarterly meet
ings" of the Methodist church and "eacra'
mental occasions" of the Presbyterian
church and meetings Of this character were
great occasions in community. People
lived far apart and remote from places Of
worship. When these occasions came they
gathered from far and wide. Hospitality
was free as mountain air. But with rail-
roads and multiplying population, people
live near each other and every man has q
church within easy reach of his home.
While this is true, and people do not go
long distances to church nowadays, yeti
is still possible for us to enjoy the benefits
of the inspiration. of large and enthusiastic
religious assemblies on the high days of re-
ligious worship. Though there are churches
everywhere and congregations ale held by
local or denominational obligations we find
occasional opportunity to worship together.
Such an occasion was the meeting at the
Methodist church on last Sunday. All the
congregations of the town worshlrped to-
gesher. There were no regular services
elsewhere, and the people of other churches
acted as became Christians, and met IN
hearty fellowship. Rarely are so many
seen together at the Lords table. There
were members of every church in town at
that feast of the Lord.
Rev. ]. T. Frazier, whom every one IN
Tazewell knows, did all of the preaching.
lie preached four times. Many persons
express great pleasure at hearing him
again. lie is almost Tazewell man, haT-
ing married in the county.
The love feast on Sunday evening was a
season both of pleasure and profit. Warm
hearts spoke of experiences of past life and
praised God for blessings from His hand.
This was one of the most pleasant quar-
terly meetings which Las been held in
Tazewell for long time.
The business meeting on Saturday was
one of real interest. There is much OF re-
ligious life where there is such planning for
work. And yet the work looks to the IN
crease of life. If the churches stand for
anything they stand for religious purity
and the salvation of men from sin; and if
the churches of Tazewell will lay aside all
narrowness of denominational sellishness
and make strong united effort much can
be done to save this entire people. The
results of such united effort could be moth
ing less than the upbuilding of all the
churches. "Work worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness
and meekness, with long g-suferipg, forbcar-
ing one another in love; endeavoring to
keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of
peace, Then in one body, and one spirit,
even as ye are called in one hope of your
calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
one God and Father of all who is above all,
and through all and in you all. "-Ephe-

During our visit to the Bluff, we went
around to Clinch Valley Roller Mills, and
found its proprietors very busy filling or
ders for the large custom they have already
secured for their fine -four, meal and chop.
They told us their greatest trouble was get
ting grain to keep their mill going, as they
are compelled to send out of the county for
wheat and corn. They are paying thous-
ands of dollars for grain that ought to 90
into the pockets of the farmers of Tazewell
County. This shows that the views we ex-
press in an editorial in this issue, "What is
the Reason?" are substantially true. Hig-
ginbotham & Kirby have no trouble in
selling their flour and meal, lei the farmers
of Tazewell supply them with the grain
they need.
We also made visit to the Woolen and
Knitting Mills, which are now being opera
ted by Mesars Scott, Mcclure & Goodman.
The mills are running at their full capacity
and are turning out excellent goods, in
considerable quantities. The products of
tie mills are sold readily because they are
all wool and honestly made.
The, Blue Sulphur Inn, of which Mr.. E.
B. Scott is proprietor, is a place where the
weary and debilitated may safely go fCr
comfort and regaining their health. The Inn
has attached beautiful shady grounds, and
just at the base of the hill in the rear of
the hotel is ore of the finest mineral
springs we ever drank from. 1t is fine for
indigestion and good for many other COM
plants. The rooms of the hotel are COM
Portable and the table well supplied with
the most substantial food, nicely prepared.
We like Cedar Bluff and hope to visit it
often.

Under the new management Tazewell
College during the last scholastic year
enioyed degree of prosperity greater

The merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla
Is literally written in blood.
1t is traced in the vital fluid
Of millions of the human race.
Its positive medicinal merit
And curative power is written
Upon the hearts, and craven upon
The minds Of thousands
Of people whom it has cured
And given good health
When there seemed nothing before
Them but darkness and despair.
1t cures all diseases arising
From or promoted by impure
Blood by its intrinsic merit as
The One True Blood Purifier.

SLAVERY IN THE BRITISH
 EMPIRE.

The Republicans statement that British public opinion during the queens long reign seems to have grown callous regarding the treatment of aboriginal populations received strong confirmation in the debate iu the house of commons on slavery in West Africa. Mir. Curzon admitted that slavery has legal status in the British empire today, and slave hunt ing and catching is performed by British officers and that 2u0, 900 of her maiesty's subjects must be reckoned as plantation slaves. The governments huge majority, it is noted, fell to 52 on this question, but why did it not be- come a minus quantity? How can any British government live day after making such admissions? To Amcri- cans, wno have had tragic experience with slavery, and who in years gone by bore many taunt from humanitarian England, it is au amazing fact Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

The fiye.pointed stars in our flag and the six-pointed stars in our coin age are odd survivals of mediaeval her aldry, says the Globe Democrat. When the designs for the United States flag were made France was a friendly power, and the designer of the flag followed French heraldry in the use of fve-pointed stars in the azure. The colonies already had coinage which was copied from that of Great Britain. In British Leraldry the six-pointcd star was used, and the colonial coinage copied this pecalisrity from the medals and coats of arms of English royal and noble houses. Thus the stars of our flag are emblemstic of France and those of our coins of England. It should be noted, however, that the coin use of the star is not uniform, for even on the two sides of the same coin a difference is observable, the silver quarters having six-pointed stars on the obverse and stars with five points on the reverse.

Fhe three gilded balls of the pawn broker correspond to the three gilded pills which appeared in the arms of the famous Medici family of Italy. The first of the Medici was doctor, whence his name, but Giovanni Medici, born in 1860, accumulated an enormous fortune, and left the business of pill making for that of banking and money lending in Florence; the three gilded pills on the arms of the Mediei were adopted as signs by the Medici bank. and gradually became known through out Italy as branch banks were estab- lished in other cities. By and by the three pills were used by banks other than those connected with the Medici system, then the use of the three pills spread until this sign was adopted as that of bank. After a time money lenders who made trihing advances on personal property began also to use the sign, whereupon it was promptly abandoned by the larger establish ments, and so in the end became re- stricted to pawnbrokers' shops

The New York Engineering and Mining Journal says: Business con- tinues generally in dull and halting condition and little change can be re- ported. An effort is being made in certain quarters to manufacture "pros- perity" by newspaper reports, but business mea do not accept the state- ments thus presented. There are, it is true, some hopeful indications here and there, but they are not wide enough to affect the general situation materially.
