There were many who prophesied
that Lincoln had seen its best days.

here TO support town of 5000 people?"
Then the grasshoppers year after year,
When the subject for the next evening
meeting was announced as What has

Few and discouraged as the Christian
workers were twenty-one years ago, they
had done better than they knew They
had stood for the church as an essential
institution in the new community. They
had maintained public worship for years.
They gave comfort and help to strangers
constantly coming and going. They had
permanently gathered a handful of choice
members rich in love and good works.
Their trials had melted and fused them.
Their seeming failures had taught them
self denial and dependence upon God
The church was dear to them all. They

Any sensible minister might consider 1t
privilege to be invited to such a field.
The New England village pastor, with all
his pleasant surroundings, could scarcely
hope to do more than maintain what was
already so well established He knew
more than one capable minister waiting
and anxious to take his place. Here on
the frontier was a call that appealed
10 his missionary spirit. The place was
vacant. The need was urgent. Here was

church outside saints. whom the pastor
has always hoped and still longs to see
taking their stand among the recognized
members of this church.
1t was agreed at the outset that the
Conversational home missionary society
would contribute $500 a year towards the
minister's support possibly for three
years, while the church undertook 10 de-
crease its debt by that amount from year

final effort. And 10, the stone really be-

when the year closed the first thousand
dollars of Indebtedness was removed.

Mckenzie and Ed Dodd. This was &
pretty lively match from what we can
learn. We haven't been told the number
of rounds, but the fight was awarded to
Mckenzie, Dodd being forced to thow up
the sponge on account of badly broken
thumb
The third contest was between Lewis
Britain and viii White. 1t was pretty
lively scrap, but was decided draw,
White is now wearing pretty black eye
as sign of the contest
The fourth and last contest was between
"Big Chap" and "Pie Eater" gentleman
of color. "Pie Eater couldn't stand up
before "Big Chap, and suffered an in
glorious defeat.
From what we can learn interest in the
manly sport has greatly abated since the
above encounters cameod, broken thumbs,
black eyes and loss of breath being great
deterenfs. Those who participated are
not likely to try it again, and others will
profit by their experience.

The Logan Grazier.

We have come into possession Of a copy OF
poem, "The Logan Grazer, (which is from
the pen of DIR. Thos. Dunn English, and
was published in the Richmond Enquire
in the early fifties, about 1862 or 1858,
DR.. English is the author of a number of
beautiful poems, among them "Ben Bolt. :"
At the time "The Logan Grazier' was
written he was passing part Of his time
in Logan County, Virginia, now West Vir-
ginia, and was well acquainted with the
men and mode of life then found in that
section. The poem is descriptive of those
men, their habits and thoughts, and is
full Of beautiful word-painting and gems of
thought DR.. English was well known in
1azewell County at that peroid, and some
ofthe older inhabitants remember him well.
On a certain occasion it was determined to
have Fourth of July celebration and
distinguished orator, we believe the Hon.
John Randolph Tucker had been invited to
be present to make an address. He had
consented to come, and urge crowd
assembled in the grove near DR.. o 'Keetfe's
house, then the home of DR.. Fielding
Peery. The speaker failed to come and the
managers were at loss what to do. Some
one suggested that a maniby the name of
Thomas Dunn English was in the crowd
and that he might be induced to act as a
substitute. He was called upon, and in his
hunting suit of Logan County jeans, he
took the stand and thrilled the audience
with the sentiments of patriot, couched
in the beautiful words of the writer and
poet.
We publish The Logan Grazier on this
page, and know it will be read with
pleasure by our readers. DR.. English is
still alive, and resides in. New Jersey, we
believe. A few years ago ho represented
one of the districts of his State in Congress.

Do You Want Good Bread?

If you want to enjoy good health you
ought to eat good bread. To have good
bread, you must find the right kind of a
mill, that uses fine quality of grain, with
miller that understands his business. a
great deal of the fancy flour that is brought
here from the West is pretty TO look at,
makes beautiful white bread but the health
and strength giving elements are lacking
The C. a. Fudge roller mill, run by the
Tazewell Dairy and Milling Company, is
splendidly equipped, and is turning out
the finest quality of flour and meal The
wheat and corn used are of the highest
grades and but one grade Of flour is made,
which is. called the straight Grade"
flour. 1t combines or retains all the food
or nutritious properties of the grain, We
have tried this grade of flour, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it excellent, The
Fudge mill has capacity of 30 barrels of
flour day, and can grind 16 bushels of
corn an hour Mr.. r. II. Ireson is in
charge Of the mill, and is assisted by his
father, Col. R. c. lreson, who is the vet
eran miller of this section: The flour and
meal ground are sold principally for local
consumption, but some shipments are made
to Blueield and other points Ifyou want
good bread you can certainly haveit ,ifyou
get your -four and meal at this mill, and
cook it properly.
