A Chapel for the County Farm

A Chapel for the County Farm.
Mr.. EDITOR:
L just received tho following ap-
peal signed by twenty eight persons,
which appeal is as follows:
1--WE, the poor peopls at the county
farm, do ask the leading men OF
Tazewell county to build us church.
We have no place to worship, only
in our rooms. and we are desirous TO
have the gospel. The Savior said
that the poor should have the gosp..l i
preached to them. We will ell aid
and help all we can. II need not
be fine church. but q comfortable
one is all we ask: and we, fhe under
signed, do sincerely hope that you
will consider and help us, PLEASE.'
Then follows the twenty-cigh;
names, each one OF whom has sub
scribed a small amount to aid In the
erection of the desired house ot
worship,
1t is a matter of some surprise
that the building of such house or
the county farm has not been accom-
plished long ago. trust that this
matter may receive immediate at
tentior, and that this call may b'
answered.
7 call the attention of the Supsrvi
sors of the county to this need, anC
SUI gest that a suitable chapel b'
erected. No doubt the Superintsnd
ent could make arrangements will
four different preachers who woulC
divide the time and give then
preaching every Sunday afternoon
II the Supervisors do not take th'
matter up, l suggest that a com
mittee If ladies. representing all th'
churches in the town, take charge
of this worthy enterprise, and SCI
that provisions are made that th'
poor may have the gospel preached
unto them. Respectfully,
j. n. HARTMAN.

ement on our Sire cts.
Our town Council certainly made
q move in the right direction when
they began the work on Tazewell
Avenue. This street has long been
in a condition that rendered trave
on it, even in good weather, q
weariness to the flesh, and in our
dreary months of snow and rain, it
was well-high impossible.
The Council have taken the mat
ter vigorously In hand and oil the
worst part Of the street, to the in
ter section OF Mechanics with Taz-
ewell Avenue, is now being put
into. thorough repair. Henry
KinzeI is the efficient superlnten.
dent of the work, and is using the
utmost zeal in pushing it to com
pletioH before the coming of cold
weather. The citizens owe him
and the Council their thanks for his
efforts.
There is scarcely street In town
in more constant use than this one,
1t being the most direct line of
communication not only with the
depot, but also with two of our
schools, Taezwell College and Prof.
Dodge's Business College, the lat
ter directly on the line of work.
The editor would be glad TO hope
that, sometimes in the near future,
q tram line may be extended to
the College. The convenience to
our people, and the advantages of
bringing town and college into
closer intercourse could scarcely be
0verestimated. There were those VIII
thought the extension OF @ decent
foot path too much OF an expediture
and scarcely worth the time, trouble
and money. But who would now bt
without it.
!, If Tazewell is to stop where sh'
IS, and take no future step
towards improvements and advan
cement, then indeed 1t is useless :,
plan tor the future, but while W.
, have enterprislng citizens, wide
awike business men among IA, WI
s do not believe that will be th,
case, and we, for our part. "hop'
all things believe all thlsgs" TO
!. the future of our lovely mountain
town.

Miners killed
BY SAVAGE INDIANS.
Only One of a Party of Six Gold
Hunters Escaped to Tell the
Terrible Tale.
SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Phoenix. Ariz., April GA report has
reached this city that n party of Eoldseek-
ers was massacred by Ceris Indians on the
Island of Tiburon. off the coast Of the Gulf
Of California.
Several weeks age n party OF six Mexican
prospectors left Tepopa, on the west coast
CT Mexico, in a small boat and e to
Tiburon Island in search of gold. which Is
believed to be present there in large ouanti-
ties. A few days ago Pedro Pasquiela re-
turned to the mainland in a small boat
and reported q fierce fight with The native
Indians. He believes his companions were
all killed.
Pasquiela's party was not mo,ested, said
he, until the prospectors attempted to pene-
trate into the interior to reach Il range OF
mountains. where gold was thought 10 be.
They were warned to so no farther. but
pressed on. A few miles farther they ran
into an ambush and were surrounded by the
natives. Two Of the party were killed By
the first fire ard others took refuge in the
brush on n rocky hillside.
The natives fired into the timber and
drove the Mexicans cut. From a bulwari
of stone the surviving four stood OF the
Indians for two days. and then one of the
four was killed and another fatally
wounded. Pasquieia and his remaining
companion made an attempt 10 escape py
night, crawling through the brush. The
two became separated and Fasquteia
reached the coast. where he secured a new
boat and after much difficulty reached Point
st. Miguel on the coast Of the mainland.
