Our Roads Again.

MIR. EDToR:-An ever prolific subject
OF discussion is the road question. No
wonder. IL is one which concerns tho
farmers and tho country people moro
than any other. The tariff, currency
and all others pnlo into insigniiicanco
compared with the road problem. II is
not ut oil complimentary to Tazewell to
have IL said, and justly, too, that we
have about the worst roads to be found.
Tho truth stares us in tho face-our
roads outside of tho town limits are
simply awful. by March 1st, next, it
will be almost impossible for us to get
to town on horseback, much less with q
loaded wagon. In many sections Of the
country, notably in Thompson Valley,
the roads are mere lanes-not wide
enough for two teams to pass each
other. or to allow any pulling to ono
side or the other TO shun mud holes.
Nothing but stright pull through nar-
row lanes in mud up to the hub. What
can be done? 1t seems that this is q
more vexing problem than any with
which our law-malers have to deal.
I want to call attention to sug-
gestion which, believe, was first made
through the columns of your paper
some time last year, which seems to be
reasonable 1t is this: Let each farmer
be compelled to keep up the roads in
front of his own farm. AT first glance
this may seem to be inequitable, but the
moro I think about 1t, tho moro plausi-
Bile 1t becomes. A law could be 80
framed, embodying this feature, as to
work no hardship at at all. After the
roads are once put in good condition, it
will be an easy matter to keep them
up.
Why should not the farmers keep up
their own roads2
hope to hear some expression of
opinion on this suggestion. may have
something more to soy on the subject.
Yours,
SUBSCRIBER.

A Half Century Ago.

Just fifty one years ago next January
or therabouts, a woman with eight chill
dren, the youngest an infant in arms,
landed in New York from Eng land.
The family were on their way to Join
the husband and father, who had come
across more than year before, and
who had been working in Tazewell,
In Burke's Garden. The mother and
her children landed in Richmond whore
ono child-next to the baby-died, and
was buried by strange but kind hands.
From Richmond they came to Lynch
burg via the old James River Canal and
from Lynchburg to Tazewell In n wagon
drawn by six horsesAone of the many
regular teams that, in those days, made
regular trips from this section to
Lynchburg loaded with produce and
returned loaded with goods.
When the family reached Tazewell
they took quarters at tho hotel THE
Dodd hotel) then kept by Mr.. Harris
son, the father of our townsman, Col.
10. Harrison. Here they were Joined
by the father, and mother and children
were once more happy. These people
were Mr.. and Mrs. Bourne, the father
and mother of Messrs. Thos. NJ. Felix
and s. S. Bourne, the two former now
living on Clear Fork. on the farm origi-
nally purchased by their father.
When MIR. Bourne came toAmerica as
stated above, he was poor, and worked
for some time IA q hand ON different
farms. But by economy and industry
he accumulated nice estate, which is
now (nearly all of it) still in the family
1t is interesting to visit either of the
Bourne brothers on Clear Fork, and
hear their tales of Tazewell years ago.
1t has been our privilege more than
once to sit around their great old-fash-
ioned wood fires, and while we ate ap-
pies and cracked chestnuts, to listen to
stories of Tezewoll's early history. Sto-
ries OF deer hunts, bear hunts, and ad-
ventures In Bear town, and the Buch-
horn tales, which, in some instances,
were hard to und erstand at this late
day; but which were true-every word.
And then, after night of refreshing
sleep, in great big feather bed, to sit
down to q breakfast tablo-loaded-
groaning-big fat sausages as large as
your hand, buck.wheat cakes big
enough to dance jig on, and enough
of them to carpet a church; back bone
and spare.rib, fried chicken and ham

what he is talking about. Some of the
best people in the world live on Clear
Fork.

Died at his home, neJr Pops
lar Branch, July 18th, 1898, Dir.
Virginius L. Pitts, age Is years
4 months 6 days.
Dr.. Pitts was one OF the most
useful as we'll as one of the most
influential men in this vicinity,
and by his death the communi.
ty sustains al irreparable loss.
The bereaved family and friends
have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community in their
time Of sorrow but more con-
soling than the sympathy Of
friends IS that blessed hope of a
reunion that shall never be
broken IN that land
Where The wicked cease from troub-
ling
md thc weary are at rest
Or. Pitts was veteran Of two
# our great wars. He fought
il the Mexican war under Gen.
Scott, and in the Civil war, unS
der Gen. Lee, and not only was
he an old soldier in the. wars of
his country, but he also was a
valiant soldier III the army of
God. For about fifty years he
was a consistent member Of the
NJ. E. Church and was a devoted
member and au untiring worker.
lie was a most ardent advocate
of Christian education, and for
more than twenty-five years he
was connected with the school
work Of this county most of
which time he WAS either one
of the board Of examiners Of su
pcrintendent Of schools,
Now that he has faithfully
performed the duties and res
possibilities of this life, he has
gone to reap the rich reward of
long life spent in the service
Of God the advancement Of
the banner OF the cross Of Christ.
Friends and loved ones, it is
natural for you to mourn your
loss; but WHY should you !?
Your loss is Heaven gain. Tie

is short that separates him from
