3 Sanitary Condition No. Good.

The November bulletin issued by
the State Board of health, OF Rich
mond has been received, The bulle-
tin contains \ statement from each
county board OF health IN the State.
The board in Tazewe.l is composed
of Drs. John II. Gildersleeye, Secy.,
w. X. Williams, and J. Il. Haller.
Their report is as follows: "a
number of cases of measles, few
cases'of scarlet fever; some tuber-
culosls; some typhoid fever; fow
GataD eases os cerebro-spinal memin-
gifts; measles and typhoid fever pre-
vailing. Sanitary condition not
good.n
The report does not state i'm what
particular the sanitary condition are
not good. There can be little or no
excuse for bad sanitary condition in
n community like this. There may
be some difficulty i'm maintaining
proper conditions in u town like Po-
cahontas whore the people arc crowd
ed together and Indifferent, but in
the county where tho drainage is
good and the water supposed 10 be
pure, II is difficult TO understand how
sanitary condition can be bad. There
seems to oe, howe yer, more sickness
IN the county than in the towns of
the county. There seems TO be less
sickness in PocahOntas, whore moro
might be expected, than in other
sections of the county. The people
need instructions along the lines Of
right living. If sanitary conditions"
are not good they might be chang.
ed and, IN most cases would bo per-
haps. if the people knew where and
how to begin the work of improve
ment.

Homeless y.

What dreary sound the word
has. 1t is associated in the mind
with loneliness, hunger and
threadbare clothing. Homeless
people are merely unwise people
(some Of them). The owner Of
a beautiful home may be homeless
tomorrow and all because OF his
own fault-negIect of insuring.
A man is never left homeless
who is fully insured-even tho
the flames consume his entire
belongings. You can begin to
rebuild the dav after the fire if
your policy is written by us.

Consumption in farewell.

II is reported that Beverly Barnes,
a wellknown aud worthy eolored
man is dying of consumption, al his
homo on the car line between this
town and North Tazewell. The fact
is brought out in this connection,
that there has been number Of
deaths, Ia this same section, from
consumption, among the negros,
within the past two years. Tuber-
oalosis among the colored people,
almost unknown during the days of
slavery, is greatly on the increase
every where, and in this particular
section seems particularly so. There
must bee some local cause-some ex-
listing condition in the "Shake-Rag
community responsible FOR the raw
ages of this fell disease, from which
more people have died i'm that section
within the past few years than from
any other single disease. One fact is
plain-ihe water which the people
IN that section use is unfit for ever
brutes, and so long as this is the
case "Shake Rag" will be the home
of epidemics and ravaging diseases,
which may spread throughout the
town aud county.

The Norwegian newspapers are
printing alarmist articles on account
of the recent increase in emigration
from Norway to the United States. 1t
is estimated that 10000 Norwegians
have sailed to America this year
double the number for the same period
last year. Emigration has not assumed
such proportion since the time Of the
famine forty years ago. Extremely
slack trade, heavy taxation and poor
fishing season are given as the cause
of the exodus.

Emigration from Denmark is on a

emigration this year has been heaviest
from Norway, it is nevertheless true
that Denmark comes next. Among

Denmark are the Capella, Arcturus,
Polaris and Eigo. The steamship COM

that the grand old Mont Pelee, the
slumbering $50 it was thought, tran;
quill old hill, would ever squirt forth
fire and death. 1t was entirely I'M
looked for. Mont Pelee was regarded
by the natives as a sort of protector.
They had an almost superstitious af-
lection for it. From the outskirts Of
the city it rose gradually, its sides
grown thick with rich grass and dot
ted here and there with spreading
shrubbery and dropping trees. There
was no pleasanter outing for an after
noon than a journey up the green,
velvetlike sides Of the towering noun
tain and a view Of the quaint, pictur-
esque city slumbering at its base.
There were no rocky cliffs, no crags,
no protruding powders. The mountain
was peace itself. It seemed to promise
perpetual protection. The poetic ma
tives relied upon it to keep back storms
from the land and frighten with it's
stern brow the tempests from the sea.

Had some one, when I was In st. Pr

would soon open up and hurl death at

But no one suggested it, because no
