Mr.. KiBball Heard From.

1t will be remembered that about the
first of March a meeting of citizens was
held at this place to take steps for having
the junction of the proposed line of the
N. & w. Railway up Dry Fork come to
North Tazewel. At that meeting resolu'
tons were passed aud a committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. A. P. Gillespie, E. L.
Greever, H. G. Peery, II. E. Hartman and
Joseph Harrison, appointed to lay the
resolutions before the Norfolk and Wes-
tern authorities. The committee acted
promptly and promptly received a reply
from Mr.. f. J. Kimhall, President OF
the Norfolk and Western Railway Co.
In his letter to the committee Mr.. KIM
ball states that his Company has in con-
temptation the building Of line from
Jaeger, w. Va, up Dry Fork and through
the Pocahontas Coal Field to connect With
its line east of the Flat Top Mountain, but
that the surveys have not been completed.
He then states that they will give due con-
siderution to the afguments;contained IN
the letter Of the committee and the resolu-
tions adopted by the meeting of citizens.
In the closing paragraph Of his letter Mr.
Kimbal says:
"In this connection, as | am very APP
preciatiye Of the agricultural resources OF
of your section, may be permitted to
suggest that the entire Pocahontas Coal
Fields now furnishes and will furnish to a
still greater extent market for agricul-
tural products and particularly dairy prod
ucts. Owing to lack of these products
heretofore and at the present time, the
large population in the PocahOntas Coal
Field are compelled to use canned goods,
instead Of fresh vegetables, and the oppor-
tuli.y exists for the farmers in your sec
ton to supply the Coal Field with fresh
vegetables, poultry, eggs, and particularly
fresh milk aud butter, and tue develop
ment of this business would, we believe,
prove very remunerative."
The suggestions made by Mr.. Kimbal!
are substantially good and We commend
them to the careful consideration Of the
farmers Of Tazewell county.

had trusted him, stood aloof from his
sorrow; and their sullen indifference
wounded him to the quick. His I'M

"The Duke of Buckingham has been

have been sent long ago; but he is
married to the daughter of Fairfax,
and the naughty Lord General went
to see Cromwell about the matter. He
met him in the gallery at Whitehall
and asked that the order for Bucking-
hams arrest should be retraced. And
Cromwell told him that If the offense
were only against his own life, the
Duke could go free that hour, but that
he could not pardon plotters against
the Commonwealth. 1t grieved him to
the heart to say these words, and
Fairfax saw how i'll and how troubled
he looked. But he had not one word
of courtesy; he turned abruptly and
cooked his hat, and threw his cloak
under his arm in that insolent way
he was ever used to when in his tenn
pers. And Oliver looked at me like
