staid at home to take advantage of tie
good weather for pushing forward their
Spring work, while some, no doubt, were
kept away by the wild rumors about
small poX.

Quoted services at the Episcopal church at

From what we can learn the farmers OF
Tazewell county are preparing to plant
large crops of corn this year We hope
they will. 1t is shame to see SO much
money sent out of the county for corn
when we have as good corn lands as are
found anywhere in the world.
The council has determined to use the
Old water pipe, which was taken out when
the new main was put in, on Tazewell
Avenue and Gildersleeve Avenue. Fire
plugs will be placed at the followinglpolnts
near the Presbyterian church, at corner
near Baptist church and on the corner
near Mr.. Henry Preston's residence.
Tazewell county is now splendily equip
ned with fine Touring mills. There are two
at North Tazewell, two at Cedar Bluff, one
in Burkes Garden and several smaller ones
in other sections of the county. The far
mers of the county ought to raise enough
wheat to keep these mills busy, so that
the importation of flour would cease.
The Supreme Court of Appeals has
granted wit of error in the case OF
Charles H. Jackson vs.. Commonwealth.
1t will be remembered that Jackson was
convicted at recent term of the county
court of felonious assault, land sentenced to
confinement in the penitentiary for term
Of one year.
