Tho Library.

The circulating library was started
with fear and trembling. 1t was
thought best to mako the first sub
scriptions for a period of six months.
That time has passed and everyone
concerned has been delighted with
the success of the venture. Never
before, perhaps, in the history Of the
town was there such reading done in
the way of new and popular books
and all at n price that was within
the reach of all and hurt no one.
The winter is coming on, when all
will have more time for reading, and
it is thought that the people of the
town will not be willing to give up q
plan which has been productive of SO
much pleasure and profit. All sub
scriptions have expired by limitation
and we must begin anew, if the libra
ry is to live. At any rate,s meeting
is necessary in order to dispose of
the books on hand. So the Book
Committee has thought it best that
the meeting be called at once
A meeting OF all members of the
library is, therefore, called hereby
for Friday evening, Oct. 10, 1900, at
4:30, at the hall of the public school
building for the purpose of making
some disposition of the books oD hand
and for the purpose of discussing
plans for the future looking towards
the continuance of the library. All
the old members and all who desire
to become members are urgently re-
quested to be present. If you do
not come, do not complain If some
thing is done of which yon do not
approve. Cooperation will be much
more appreciated than criticism and
will do more good.
All books must be returned before
the date Of this NEE ting.

WARM TIME IN BLAOKSBURa
Pistols and Razors Again.
Colored Festival.

The colored people had church
"Rally' in the little village OF Blacks
burg-a suburb Of North Tazewell-
last Saturday night. 1t seems that
Joseph Peery, son of q. II. Peery,
one OF our we'll known citizens, was
passing by, aud by some means, not
clearly stated, became involved In q
quarrel very unexpectedly and unin-
tentionally. and cut by colored boy
quite severely, but not seriously.
One of the colored boys. Reese
Floyd, was shot in tho knee. George
Moore the other colored boy has
been tried and fined $500. Reese
Floyd has not been able yet TO ap-
pear for trial.,
We have not been able to get a
full account of this affair, but from
what we can hear there was n warm
evening in the little city of Blacks
burg and the town treasury of North
Tazewell was enriched several dol
lars.

GAINING VOTES.
Northwest Foreigners
Solid for Mr.. BRYAN.

Duluth, Min, Oct. 2.-Hon. Will
liam j. Bryan rested in Duluth on
Sunday. He arrived in this CITY
from Crookston, Min, at z a. m.
With State Senator Charles Baldwin
he attended the Pilgrim Congrega-
tional church, and later dined at the
Baldwin Hotel and called on Charles
A. Towne's father. He also enjoy
ed drive.
La order to be on the ground ON

rior Sunday night, and spoke there

turning afterwards TO this city. y.where
he spoke at 0 a. IN. A trip to StPaul

Yesterday was big political day
in Duluth. Speaker ID. b. Hender-
son, OF the House of Representatives
made an address. Both Democrats
and Republicans worked 10 insure
large attendance at their respective
gatherings.
Democrati, leaders in Min nessota
are practically united in the opinion
that Governor Lind will carry the
the State, but tho electoral vote may
go to Mckinley. Here and in
North Dakota several OF the best
campaigners are Swedes aud Nor
wegians who voted for Mckinley
fonr years ago amp who volunteered
to take the stump for Bryan this
year, making speeches in their own
language. None of this work was
done four years ago. In North Da-
kota there are 20 Scandinavian Bryan
clubs, where there were non, in '96.
Saturday night Governor Lind
rode with MI. Bryan from Crooks
ton to Winnipeg Junction. To your
correspondent the Governor said:
al have at this time no dfinite
idea OF the vote in this State. 1
know, however, that there will be
considerable change in Mr.. Bryan's
favor among AL classes, as much
among the Sweds, Norwegians and
Germans as others. The Germans
are affected by the imperialistic issue
almost entirely. With the Scandi
navians it is different. They have
no knowledge Of the burded of mill.
tarism and are not alarmed on that
scope. but they are a pence loving
people and hate war and blooished.
For the most part they are religious,
and they cannot see the occasion for
the prosecution OF a war that seems
for them evil. The truat question
also appeals to them directls. Salt.
barbed wire, implements, mails and
everything they use has gone up in
prico to such an extent that they be-
gin TO feel the burden. Crop cOndi-
tions have not compensated for this
increase"
Through the States Mr.. Bryan has
visited since he left Lincoln Republi.
cans admit that there is considerable
apathy in their ranks, but attribute
1t 20 the face that that tee campaign
Is too young yet.

at tho FAIR Grounds.

Quite a good time was had at the
Fair Grounds last Saturday by a
mum Der OF our young mon who con.
ceived the idea a short time ago OF
trying the speed Of their horses.
There were no entrance fees or pre-
miums, only plain, old fashioned,
country race. There was quito q
crowd present. Tho first WAS n pac
ing race OF one half mile, best two
out OF three, which was won by Thos.
A. Witten's mare. Clara Thompson,
with Chas. McNeil's chestnut sorrel
second, and Frank Witten's black
horse third. The running race was
won by horse owned 10y Jas. Karr,
ridden by Rush Caudill.
These trials showed that these
horses, all raised, we believe, in Taze-
we'll, are speedy, and with practice
and training could be developed 10 q
creditable record. 1t is to be hoped
that the boys will make an effort to
keep up, or rather revive, this old
fashioned amusement. Some years
ago, when Tazewell had good old
fashioned country fair. trials of speed
between our own county horses was
an enjoyable feature.

Rabbit Foot for Bryan.

Millard Stultz, of Elkhorn, w.
Va. spent several days in town
last week visiting old friends. and
incidentally, while here secured
the left hind foot of a graveyard
rabbit to send to Mr.. Bryan, as he
did to Mr.. Cleveland in 1892, and
which proved successful "hoO-
doc" for Mr.. Cleveland. StuItz, we
suppose, secured the rabbit foot
and no doubt Mr.. Bryan has it by
this time.

AN EXTRA SESSION
Governor Favored Nov,
18th as the Time.

Richmond, Va, Oct l0.-Govorn-
or Tyler was in his Office this morn
ing and received several delegations
of visiting militia officers.
In speaking of his recent declara-
tion to call the Legislature in extra
session, he said
''It is strange to me that the pa
pers carry on so about this question.
IL you look back to the files OF the
Richmon l News you will see that
last May l said an extra session
ought to be called, and that l was in
favor of having it as early as posi-
bic after the national election
In fact said Governor Tyler. Il
was the first person TO name a date,
l favored Nov. 18th as the time and
so stated then. Allthi is old and
there is nothing new in the later re
ports
"The date Of November" said the
Governor, does not seem to suit the

New York, Oct. 5-Richard Gro
ker dogmatically assesrts that Great
er New York will give Bryan 100000
mojority. He reiterates the ASSET
ton with emphasis day alter day
There is no doubling his sincere de-
Termination in the matter. The Re-
publican managers are privately ad-
mitting that the city is likely to go
for Bryan by $4,000. They fully ex
pect Croker's prophecy to be three
tourths fulfilled. His organization is
conceded to be perfect and his meth
ods irresistible by the rank and file
OF the party. More than this, the
Republican managers recognize and
do not privately dispute the fact that
the great bulk of the labor vote in
the city is with Mr.. Bryan. So like
wise is the Irish American vote:
Therefore Chairman Hanna's Co
officials here are proceeding upon
the conviction that to give MI. Nc
Kinley the 36 electoral votes of the
Empire State it will be necessary to
overcome up the State an adverse
majority in Greater New York OF
50,OOO-as against a Mckinley ma
forty of over $4,000 in New York
and Brookly in 1896.

Georgetown, Ky, October TO-
Henry Youtsey has remained in a
comstose condition all day: whether
that is due to the opiates admins.
