Circuit Court.

We mentioned last week the fact tina
during the present term of the circui
court an unusual number of importan
cases were being heard; and that one, the
case of the Mayor and Council of North
Tazewell VS.. w. w. Peery's administrator
ct ais was then being heard. On Wednes'
day of last week the issues that went be-
fore the jury in that case were decided, q
verdict being brought in deciding the is-
sues as follows: First, that the road in
question was public road by dedication
and usage. Second, that the cost of main-
tanning the bridge in question where it
now stands is greater by one-third than
where it originally stood. Third, that
there has never been ford at the point
where present bridge is located, but there
can be one at considerable cost. Fourth,
the owners of the dam had not maintain
ed the bridge since 1882. The bridge
since then has been maintained by the
county of Tazewell On motion of de-
PENDANTS counsel the case was postponed
until Tuesday, that another witness might
be introduced; and on Tuesday morning
the case was decided by the court in favor
of the defendants. The principal reasons
given by the court for SO finding were, that
there had been such laches by the county
and other parties in interest that it
amounted to a waiver of their right to en-
force the contract against the estate of w.
w. Peery; and that the removal of the
bridge to another point also operated as q
discharge of the liability of Peery and his
heirs and assigns to MAINTAIN the bridge in
question.
The case of Rosa Hilton vs. The Norfolk
and Western Railway was tried last week
and resulted in hung jury. This was the
third time the case had been tried, each
time there being mistrial. 1t is dam
age suit for an alleged injury received on
a train of the defendant company at Poca-
hontas, Va. The case has been pushed
with great vigor by counsel for the plain
tiff and defended with equal vigor by
counsel for the defense.
On yesterday the following order was
entered by the Court:
"On motion of H. G. Anderson, ].
Powell Royal, who personally appeared in
court and produced evidence that he is
duly licensed as lawyer in the State of
Kentucky, and that he has duly qualified
as a practicing lawyer in that State, and
after having taken the oeth prescribed by
statute, is allowed to practice the law in
this court"

his stay here.
MIR. Horatio L. Sprague, United States

VAST NATIONAL PARK.
MlnnesOta's New Reservation to Embrac'
500, 900 Acres, Worth $5,OOO,OOO.

Minneapolis, Sept. 3.-Dr. Northrup,
president of the University of Minnesota,
and also president of the proposed Mime
sofa National Park Association, and Thos.
Shevlin, of this city, have prepared an
entirely new scheme for the proposed
park. TIE. discard as impracticable the
proposition to acquire the necessary lands
by purchase and present the following
scheme:
Utilization of 800, 900 acres of the Indian
reservation in and about Leach and Win
nibibigish lakes, with the possibility Of
an extension of the park confines north to
the Canadian border at future time.
The sou, 900 acres include 200, 900 water.
The town of Walker is left outside the
park lines, as is Deer River on the east.
Both Leech and Winnibibigish lakes are
included. The value of the land today as
it stands is estimated at about S., ,O00,O 900.
OF this sum one-ffth is represented by the
land itself; 100000 by the standing
timber. All Is Government Iands IL is q
reservation for the Indians, but neverthe.
less part of the public domain and without
action on the part of Congress may not be
made to respond to any other use.
Mr.. Shevlin anticipates that there will
be no little difficulty in having passed q
$4,000 appropriation, but he claims an
exception from all rules for the national
park. To the north of the limits of the
proposed 100000 acre park there lies 8
stretch of pine, hardly large enough or o.
the quality for the ak. Mr. shevlin sug
gests that it would be Eell if future
extension were found advisable to incor
porate within the park an area thirt:siz
miles wide extending to the Canadian
line.

To The Elections of Tazewell /:
CORRESPONDENT.

To the Electors of Tazewell
After a somewhat general interchange OF
views with men of both political parties
hereby announce my candidacy for the
next General Assembly, as your repre-
sentative in the House of Delegates. am
impelled to this action largely by the gen.
eral consensus of opinion amongst leading
Republicans that member of the Demo
cratic party would best subserve vital
local interests, and to this end pledge
myself to secure such legislation as may
appear best calculated to give our county
a good and efficient Road Law. Impressed
with the unequal and ungenerous appor-
tionment of the legislative districts OF the
Commonwealth, promise my best efforts
towards securing such Encouragement as
would give this section of the State its just
share of representation in the General
Assembly. Certain other measures, in my
opinion, now on the statute books should
be repealed or modified. In the first class
I mention the law known as the Land
Grabbers' Act, and in the second class |
include the Walton Election Law, which
in my opinion $50 often heretofore ex.
pressed) should be amended so as to elm
mate any provision which gives our polti-
cal opponents an oft-recurrlng opportunity
to charge the dominant party with fraud
in elections and thus bring our State and
its institutions into disrepute abroad. 1t
would seem unnecessary for me to say that
| .sffl enter into no canvass for the honor
seek. The honor will he barren unless l
can secure your approval through earnest
effort IN your behalf, and it ID quite un-
necessary to say that will not spend a
dollar in the hope that | will be reim-
bursed by the emoluments pertaining to a
seat in the General Assembly.
have the honor to be, very truly,
your friend and servant,

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

There is to be an industrial convention
at Huntsville. Ala, on the 10th of next
! October. There will be q number Of inn
portant questions discussed by distinguish
ed speakers, all bearing on the industrial
interests of the South. But for the Re-
publican policy of protection no such con-
Yention would soon be held at the South.
Our section is making wonderful progress.
but stands solid against the policy which
produces such happy conditions.
The Democratic party is producer of
disaster and lives upon calamity.
Very few gold Democrats seem to be
anxious to avail themselves of the invita-.
tation to crawl upon the Chicago plat.
form.
1t looks like Mclean is going to have as
stormy times in Ohio as Goebel is having
in Kentucky. Already some of the most
influential Democratic papers in Ohio have
announced that they will not support
Mclean. They say no greater calamity
could befall the party and the State than
for Mclean to be elected Governor.
The New Orleans Bee has just celebrat.
ed the seventy.third anniversary of its
birth. A pretty old bee. We wonder at
which it has been the most successful,
stinging, or making honey?
The Memphis Appeal (Dem.,) says:
"Whateyer We may think of President
Mckinley, there is no doubling that in
his speech welcoming the return of the
Pennsylvania volunteers at Pittsburg he
voiced the popular sentiment of the
country" This is not very comforting to
the so-called anti-imperialists and anti.
expansionists.
The efforts of the Richmond Times to
convince the National Democracy of the
unwisdom of making MIR. Bryan it's can.
didate for President in 1900 are very COM
mendable, though hopeless. It is fore.
gone conclusion, however, that Mr.. Bryan
will be- nominated if he lives. If the Times
wants to do its country a service it had
better try to so shape public sentiment in
Virginia in favor of honest elections, go
that the electoral vote of the State would
be counted against Bryan, as it will cer-
tainly be, if there is fair election.
The two Democratic factions in Virginia
are now busily engaged abusing each
other. Let them proceed. They can cay
nothing about each other that the Repub-
licans will not readily endorse as being
true.
1t is stated that Mr.. Bryan will go to
; Kentucky on October lst and spend
twenty days in that state, speaking and
working for the Goebel ticket. A delega.
ton from Virginia to show Goebel how to
manipulate his election law could he more
useful to him.

engine was being used as pusher.
We are informed that the train stalled
and in the effort to pull out the tunnel be.
come SO full of smoke that the engineer on
the smaller engine was overcome. His
fireman cut the engine loose and backed
out. Almost the same state of affairs was
occurring on the large engine, where the
fireman had become suffocated and the
engineer had cut his engine loose and pull
led out. This left the train standing in
the tunnel on grade and 1t ran back coll
iding with the small engine killing the
fireman John B. Chain, the flagman--
Mays, tramp named Mcclure, and two

wrecked a short distance west OF Narrows
in Giles county. Three cars left the track
while tie train was running at speed o.

The old farms in Canada that
command the highest prices are
said to be those on which sheep
have been kept from the time they
were first occupied. The pastures
on them are comparatively free
from bushes and weeds, while the
sol is firm and productive of the
best sort of grasses. A farm on
which large number of sheep have
been kept for many years is very
desirable for diary and other pur-
poses. The lesson Of the value of
sheep is one that farmers seem to
learn but slowly.

FOR THE FARMER,


Prof Bailey, of Cornell Univer-
sity, says:
Good drainage, natural or artific-
ial, is essential to success. Trees
are impatient of wet feet.
Good tillage increases the avail
able food supply of the soil and also
conserves its moisture.
Tillage should be begun just as
soon aS the ground is dry enough
in the Spring, and should be repeat
ed as Often as once in ten DAYS
throughout the growing season,
which extends from Spring until
July or August
Only cultivated crops should be
allowed in orchards early in the
season. Grain and hay should
never be grown.
Even hoed or cultivated crops
may rob the trees of moisture and
fertility, if they are allowed to stand
above the tree roots.
Watch a sod orchard. 1t will
begin to fail before you know it.
Probably nine-tenths of the apple
orchards are in sod, and many oil
them are meadows. OF course,
they are failing.
The remedy for these apple fail.
ures is to cut down many of the
orchards. For the remainder, the
treatment is cultivation, fertiliza
ton, spraying-the trinity of ortho
dox apple growing.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to b,
applied to fruit trees, particularly
after they come into bearing.
Potash may be had in wooC
ashes and muriate of potash. 1t il
most commonly used in the lattel
form. An annual application o
potash should be made upon bear
ing orchards, 500 pounds to the acre
Phosphoric acid is the secone
important fertilizer to be applied
artificially to orchards. Of tn
plain superphosphates from 300 t.
500 pounds may be applied to tn
acre.
Nitrogen can be obtained cheapes
