The Cemetery.

Mr.. Mack Williams has been at work
for some time at the cemetery, cutting
grass, briers, bushes, etc., from few
OF the graves out there. 1t is little
singular that the people, many of them
living in the country, and people of
wealth, too, should take so little inter
est in fixing up the cemetery. The
town council should no be expected to
do all this work. Respect for the graves
and memery of the departed loved ones
demands that more care should be be-
slowed on the cemetery. Every where
care for the graves of the dead is regard
ed commendable virtue except in
Tazewell.

An Interesting Relic.

In the basement of the old Moss

Call For Volunteers Will

The Officials at the War De-

Call for $4,000 Volunteers.
Aguinaldo May Attack San
Fernando.
Washington, June 23.-When
President Mckinley returns to Wash
ington it is anticipated that he and
the secretary of War will take up
the subject of eulisting more troops
for the campaign in the Philippines.
The war department officials have
been studying the situation closely
and have been making preparations
to muster in about 10000 volunteers.
1t Is understood that the confidential
advice from Major GeDeral Otis are
to the effect that he will need $4,000
troops for field operation, and he
ought to have considerable force to
do garrison duty. The size of this
garrison force has not been deter.
mined, but the officials at the war
department are now figuring on
$4,000.
Washington, June 49,
The President has returned to
Washington, and with Secretary
Alger, began at once to devise
means to supply the necessary force
requested by Gen. Otis. More
troops will be needed at once, as the
invalided and sick soldiers in the
Philippines must be sent to the
United States, and thus the ranks
of Gen. Otis army are being depleted
by sickness every day. To keep up
the army to its present number and
increase this number to 10000, is
the problem now before the depart
menr.At Washington.
MAY ATTACK SAN FERNANDO.
Manila, Sune 23.-Aguinaldo do es
not seem satified with the attempt
OF the insurgents to take San Fer
nando. He has taken command of
Gen. Lunas' army and he's massed
the largest force yet modified
bringing thousand men from the
Atipolo region.
He is exceedingly troublesome.
Last night his men wounded two
members of the Seventeenth regi.
ment.
MacArthurs men are constantly
ON tho alert to repel any attacks of
the rebels and are sleeping on their
arms. Macarthur thinks Aguinaldo
will make desperate attempt to
take San Fernando. His force is
now estimated at from six to eight
thousand men.
