LETTER FROM MISSOURI.

ULAH, Mo-, August 27.-Through the
kindness of Mr.. J. L. Watkins l am
furnished your valuable paper 1t is
more read than any paper received. 1t
brings our mind back to the days when
DR.. Fielding Peery first started the
CLINCH VALLEY News on its mission to
do good for our noble party in Sout.-
west Virginia. How we love to look
back to these days, when the first mum
Der of the paper came to our humble
home on the banks of Clinch river at
Richlands. We were about the fourth
one on the first subscription list
While we receive the Tazewell Rcpub-
lican, which issent by Mrs j. +. Ratliff,
OF your town, 1 am often disgusted
with its abuse of the grand old party,
accusing us of so much fraud, such as
stealing votes. etc Well do | remem-
ber the editors father, one of the good
and grand men of his day, and also his
uncle, w. p Cecil, W ho passed over the
river but short time ago, who said in
the beginning of the sixties that Union
man should be rode on a rail out of the
country. They all fell from grace-died
out of the true faith-and are gone.
1t looks like prosperity has struck
northwestern Missouri. Such crops OF
corn and grass, in fact vegetation of all
kinds. were never known here We do
not owe it to Mckinley owe it to
the sweat of the brow-to be gobbled up
by Mckinley and his trusts.
Success to our party IN Virginia and
your excellent paper. l am proud that
you keep the low-down slang out OF
your columns.
Mrs. Ratliff is my daughter; so il
Mrs. Watkins. Yours truly,
w. p. KINDRICK.

ien Now and Original Songs to
Be Had Free.

What will the great METROPOLITAN pa-
pers do next ? This is the question
some one asks nearly every day. But
there is one which leads all others, 1t
has gained the sobriquet of ''America's s
Greatest Newspaper" by just such re.
markablc pieces of enterprise as the one
which has just now attracted the atten-
ton of the press all over the country.
Last week the New York Sunday World
announced that it would give away an
album of new and original music, con-
sisting of ten of the up-to-date class of
songs that are now so popular, such as
songs of sentiment, coon" songs, cake
walks, etc. These ten SONGS the Sum
day World proposes to distribute. one
each week. with every cupy OF the Sun
day World. When it is considered that
the average price of new music. written
and composed by popular authors, is
from 30 to 40 cents, the unparalleled
enterprise of The World in giving the
song away with big Sunday newspa-
per, for which only five cents is charged,
is apparent.

very few persons on the train or
along tho road.
They reached Warncli1, their oh.
lective point, thirty miles east of

hastened to the fort short distance

and they finally surrendered without
any one being injured.

news to Judge Doolittle, who is
holding court here, and asked for
means to convey the prisoners here,
The Sheriff's party and his prisonol5
are expected on the first freight
train from the cast. Tho nows of
the capture created II great excite
ment here, us it was believed that
the Hatfields would never be taken
alive. a number of members of
tue clan wsre here attending court
and witnessing the t.iul of Elias
Hatfield, Jr., who killed Ii. T.. Ellis,
and it is possible that they will at
tempt to effect rescue when the
party reaches here. The party will
at once be greatly strengthened to
deteat such an attempt.
In the party were some of the
men who Il few weeks ago kidnapped
TO Kentucky Bill and Tom Hatfield,
aud against whom for their act the

with them were some Alusons of

The voters of Virginia will have an

amendment TO the Constitution, offered
by Senator Keezell in the last Legisla-
ture, which will abolish the spring
elections of county officers. The
amendment simply postponos the May
election until November, when State
and county officers would be elected the
same day. This amendment ought to
carry with little or no opposition. There
are en- irely too many elections in Vir-
