Raron Komura, the japanese foreign min.

THE FAIR Is
A SUCCESS
The First day Was More Largely At
tended Than any First day Here
tOfOre.
MANY VISITORS ARE HERE.
Oar own People HaYe Turned out Well
and the Fair has Been a Pleasant
Occasion for all.

The sixth annual exhibit Of the Clinch
Valley Agricultural and Breeders Asso-
ciation was begun on Tuesday, the 9Th inst,
and will be concluded today. 1t had
been six years since a fair had been held
here, and the public spirited gentlemen
who resolved to get up this exhibition
were confronted by many difficulties that
had to be overcome. We are glad to note
the fact that these gentlemen have been
very successful in their undertaking.
THE FIRST DAY.
At an early hour on Tuesday morning
the crowd began to gather at the grounds,
and in point of attendance it was the best
crowd that ever assembled there on first
day. The Brass Band, from Dublin, Va,
arrived on the a. NJ. train and it fur
nished excellent music during the day.
The first feature of interest was the
tournament in which seven knights par
tcipated. The crown was won by Mr..
Jos. w. Moss who took-rings; the lst
honor by Mr. Oscar George who took
rings; the 2nd honor by Mr.. Edgar Steele
with-rings; and the 3rd honor by Mr..
r. o. Crockett who took-rlngs.
There were five shooting events during
the day. At the first the prize, case of
wine, was won by Jno.W. st. Clair. In the
second the prize, 2 quarts of whiskey, was
won by r. b. Williamson; the 3rd, box
cigars, by Peery Greever; 4th, box cigars,
by R. S. Gillespie; 5th, box cigars, by j.
f. Hurt.
An amusing feature of the day was a
pacing race in which number of the
best saddle horses in the county were en-
tered. Tate Harman rode a seventeen
year old, flea-bitten, ewe-necked, horse
and won the race. The way that old
horse went along was a sight.
Just after dinner game of base ball
was played between Tazewell and Key
stone clubs. The score was to in favor
of Keystone.
There was half-mile dash running race
in which two horses belonging to Mr..
Pierce Bane participated.
At night the Coronation Ball was given

Better Conditions From Uniformity of
the Law.

Plttsburg, Oct. 4.-The possibility oi
President Roosevelt urging Congress to
take up the question of Federal diyor ce
law has aroused wide interest in PlItsburg.
Attorney john D. Watson said: 81
don't believe in making divorce difficult.
If TWO people have started wrong public
policy demands that they be put right.
Common sense demands that the marriage
contract be treated as any other contract
and that is the trend of the times. To
abolish divorce is to give crime an estsb-
lishment; to grant divorce is in most cases
to stop criminal practices"
Rev. W. w. Hall. pastor Of the Arch
Street Methodist Episcopal Church, said:
~ uniform divorce law will bring about
better conditions. 1t would be good
move on the part of the President to ad
wise Congress TO inquire into the sdvlsabil
ity of acting on the question"

Thomas Peery.

On last Sunday morning at 1870 O'Clock
Mary, the slx.year.old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. James Ed. Peery, died at their
home two miles west of town. She was
six years old, and the cause of her death
was diphtheria. Very few persons IN the
community knew of the illness of the
child, and the friends Of its parents were
greatly shocked when they heard of her
death. The burial took place on Monday
afternoon at the old family burial ground.
Louise, the twelve-year-o daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peery, has also been very
ill with the same dread disease, but she
is now pronounced better, and her re-
covery is confidently looked for.

at The town hall. By those who know, IT
has been pronounced the most beautiful
ball ever given in Tazewell. Mr.. Jos. S
Moss crowned Miss Orlelte Harman as
Queen, Mr.. Oscar George presented the
lst honor to Miss Maggie Gillespie. The
2nd honor was presented by Mr.. Edgar
Steele to Miss Dolie May, and the 3rd

the floor. The young ladies were beauti-
fully dressed and all luoked charming.
SECOND DAY.
On yesterday the crowd was much lar
ger than the day previous. 1t was estlma-
ted that more than two thousand people
were on the grounds, and half as many
were on the outside. Good order prevail
ed and every one seemed to have good
time. We saw visitors from many other
counties. They were there from Wise,
Dickinson, Russell, Buchanan, Smyth,
Wythe, Bland, Pulaski, and from many
places in West Virginia.
There were several contests of saddle
horses, one running race and a trotting
and pacing race in harness. An excel
lent game of base ball was played, be-
tween the Tazewell and Keystone teams.
The score stood s to in favor of Key

A whole lot has been said to the
people of this County boosting Mon
ely up on account of the Pascagonla
Appropriation. Time has been when
Moss Points interest and ours were
almost identical, in that date the
wise heads down on the necks and
rills there could point out things to
our interest politically and be heed
ed TO advantage. This day has and is
rapidly passing. With two railroad
givingus direct communication with
Mobile, which is much larger port
and consequently commands much
butter prices, the wealth of this coun
-ty in the way of products are pass
ing out in the greatest bulks through
these channels. This is on the increase
owing to the expansions of the roads
by spur lines etc. Whether Col. Mon
ey did or did not help to get the an
propiation, we don't crack ourselves
to say, we simply want you to turn
the matter well over in your mind
when considering his candidacy. It
is an admitted fact that Gov. Longi-
no has been one of the most active
energetic and resourceful public men
we have given tenure of Office in
late years. while it is a lamentable
one too that Money has been but a
passive representative for 10 these
many years drawing his pay and
making occasional speeches when
pressure seemed from the press to
demand it from his constituency. Do
we want idlers. drones and pension
ers up yonder at time when the
South is needing more than ever be-
fore working delegation to look at
ter her vast growing commercial and
political interest. Were it to offend
even the most high, we say No, No.
The day has come when the South
erin people realize that they must be
up and doing and in the body polite
we are obliged to relegate to the rear
men in our public places who have
passed the prime of usefulness ans
put in their stead, those who vii
bend every effort, turn every whee

The voters of Greene County will
do well to brush aside the little spi--
ders who seek to build political cob
webs without even honoring the peo-
pie with public announcement of
their name for the Office which they
seek. The long handle broom will be
very likely to sweep some of these
nimble legged fellows away They
risk nothing, expect much, get moth
