FROM BAPTIST VALLEY.

Miss Efhe Williams, our most efficient
school teacher, is getting along nicely with
her school in west Baptist Valley.
The good people of our community or
ganized Sunday School on last Sunday at
Bandy's chapel, with 7. 6. Brewster as
superintendent.
Mr.. ]. NJ. Alley has purchased the Will
lam Boyd farm, and has moved in our
midst. Mr.. Alley is good man and we
are glad to have him among US.
Mr.. John Wynn, late of Burke's Garden
is now resident of Baptist Valley, he
having purchased the M. M. Hankins
property. We welcome these good people
to our community.
Rev. ]. w. Hubbard has been appoint
ed to the East Tazewell circuit, to the de-
light of all the people. He will preach at
Concord Church, near Grafton, on the
Second Sunday in April.
Charles Henkel, while rolling logs one
day last week, was accidently caught by a
rolling log and got both bones Of one OF
his legs broken. DR.. Baylor was called in
and gave the necessary surgical treatment,
and the patient is getting along as well as

A beautiful wedding occurred on last

The young folks spent the evening with
music and innocent plays until the wee

A Gracious Revival.

Tbs protracted meeting that has been
in progress at the Methodist church here
has developed into a gracious revival.
For more than ten days numbers of per-
sons, men, women, boys and girls have
presented themselves at each meeting ask
ing to be prayed for, and many have made
professions. Indeed it has been Penti-
costal season for Tazewell. There have
been at least 60 conversions during the
meeting and many lukewarm members Of
the different churches have reconsecrated
themselves by open confessions of their
unworthiness.
Since Rev. Shugart left Rev.. S. French
has been doing all the preaching, and be-
gins to show the wearing effects of such
bard and continuous labor. Meetings are
held twice each day, at 1870 in the morn
ing and 7:45 at night; and they will con-
time as long as the deep interest now
manifested continues.
Rev. John A. Taylor, of Kansas City,
has rendered invaluable assistance in con.
Quoting the song service. He will preach
today at the 1890 service.

The Farmers Institute.

The crowd which attended the Farmers
Institute held at this place on last satur-
day was not as large as it should have
been. No doubt the incleInent weather
prevented some farmers from coming, but
we apprehend that indifference kept a
good many away. There were, perhaps,
one hundred persons present, good por'
ton of the audience being graziers and
farmers. They were highly entertained
and deeply interested by the lectures, re.
GREETING in each instance when the lecturer,
for lack of time, was iorceG to bring his re-
marks to q conclusion. And it was the
universal expression OF those present that
the farmers of the county who did not at
tend had lost a considerable amount OF
information.
The fist lecturer was q. w. kolner,
Commissioner Of Agriculture for Virginia.
He lectured before dinner on the subject
of "The Economic Use of Fertilizers. lie
showed himself thoroughly familiar with
the subject and made bis remarks not only
interesting but exceedingly instructive to
the audience.
After dinner Mr.. ;. F. Barber, of Eiar.
risburg, Pa, lectured on "Dairying by
Modern Methods and How to Feed Eco
nomically." Being pressed for time Mr..
Barber confined himself principally to that
part Of his subject which referred to feed
ing. He is a thoroughly practical man
and not a tbeorist, being large and sue
cessfu feeder himself. His knowledge has
come from practice, and he impressed his
hearers with q conviction that he knew
what he was talking about Some Of the
largest feeders in Iazewell county were
present and they all testified to the fact
that Mr.. Barber Was not only abe to inn
part but had actually impaired much val
liable information on feeding.
The last lecturer was Prof. 5. b. Helges,
of York, Pa, who lie one Of the most dis
tinglished pom logists in the United
States. He talks from practical knowledge
and not as theorist. His subject
"How to Plant and Grow Fruit and Des'
troy Diseases of Fruits of all Kinds" was
made intensely interesting not only by the
practical knowledge he displayed but the
ability he possessed as an entertaining
speaker. AS with the other speakers, much
regret was felt by the audience when Prof
Heiges was compelled to conclude his re-
marks.
This plan of holding Farmers Institutes
! in all the counties of the State is an adj
mirable one, and if properly sustained will
be the means of accomplishing much good
for the agricultural interests Of the State.
Mr.. Koiner has displayed excellent jadg'
ment in starting the movement and should
receive the cordial support of the farmers
in Virginia, who should join in united
effort to secure proper legislative support
for the movement.

Dear Sir: Is gallon of paint gallon
of paint, or half a-gallon ? Sometimes
one, sometimes the other. +. Z. Lynch,
and bis predecessor, Delhi, n. y, sold a
well.known Mixed paint for twenty years
It's a good paint, as mixed paints CO.
n. Avery owns two houses exactly alike
there. He painted one four years ago
with this Mixed Paint-toOk twelve gal
Ions. Last spring he painted the other
house with Devoe; bought twelve gallons
and had six gallons left. Same painter

looks go.
But the point OF this tale is let, That
paint is dear or cheap according to what
it is; no matter about the price. 2nd,
That a gallon Of one kind Of paint can
contain twice as much paint as a gallon OF
another kind of pant.
Deyoe goes twice as far as Mixed PANT
two to one-but that isn't all. This
story, however, skips the rest-how It
wears is the rest.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE WRECK.
Two Men Perish In Accident Near
Swords Creek.

There has been another frightful wreck
on the Clinch Valley Division. On Tues
day morning, before daylight, the first
section of No. So, drawn by two engines,
and going west, ran into a slide. The
wreck occurred short distance east of
Swords Creek in Russell county. At the
point where the disaster occurred Clinch
River runs on one side of the track, while
on the other side there ia rough bluff Of
ragged rocks.
Engineer J. Sam Hetherington Of the
front engine and Fireman VIM. Shelton
of the rear engine were instantly killed by
being caught under the engines, both Of
which we're thrown from the track and
plunged into the river. How the fireman
of the front engine and the engineer Of
the rear engine escaped we do not know.
A brakeman by the name of White had a
very narrow escape from drowning. He
was on the front engine when it made the
terrible plunge, and went with it into the
river. His feet became fastened in some
way, but by desperate struggle be got
free. Then his coat caught on some kind
of snag, and he came very near becoming
exhausted, but again freed himself. Then
he got upon the engine, and it became 80
hot be had to plunge into the river and
swim to the opposite side for safety.
Engineer Hetherington was raised near
Princeton, w. Va, was about thirty years
old. and leaves wife and three children.
Wm. Shelton was raised in Burke's
Garden, in this county. He married Miss
Molle Brook Crockett, daughter of Mrs.
Sallie Crockett, of the Garden. He is
spoken Of by all who knew him as an ex'
cellent man; and leaves wife and two or
three children. His wife is an invalid and
was expected to be brought to Tazewell in
few days to be treated by DR.. r. B. Gill
lespie. Mr.. Shelton had been running on
the road very short time.
