1t looks like the peach trees will not
bloom this year. The zero weather in
January and February must have killed
the buds.
Mr.. Charles Grayson is getting ready to
build handsome residence on the lot he
recently purchased in rear Of the Chris
tan church.
The outlook for the mechanics at Taze-
well is good for work this Summer. The
contractors now have nearly as many con-
tracts as they will be able to fill.
Buford Tynes, who was recently 50 i'll
with pneumonia at V. P. Institute, Blacks
burg, Va, is now convalescent, and he
will be brought home very soon.
Strength and vigor come of good food,
duly digested. Force q ready.to.serve
wheat and barley food, adds no burden,
but sustains, nourishes, invigorates."
The sudden coal spell which was ushered
in Tuesday night gave considerable check
to vegetation. 1t may be that it will
serve to hold the fruit trees back from
blooming a sufficient time to improve
chances for good crop of fruit this year.
If it does serve that purpose it will be a
blessing.
Workmen will commence in few days
to remodel the storerooms recently' pur-
chased by Gillespie Bros. and which will
be occupied by Harrison & Gillespie Bros.
as department store as soon as the work
is completed. We have been shown the
plans for arranging the store, and it will
be one of the most complete and we'll ar.
ranged stores in this section.
A freak calf was recently dropped on
Dry Fork by COW that belonged Joseph
Sparks. 1t had'a double head, four eyes
four nostrils, two mouths and two tongues,
and two ears. The body and limbs were
like those of an ordinary calf. The dis
lance between the two eyes in the mid
die was one inch. Between the out
side eyes the distance was thirteen inches.
The calf lived for about forty.eight hours.
The skin has been preserved and the head
also.
The Tazewell Supply Company has
very large and attractive advertisement
on the 4th page of the Republican" this
week. While the advertisement is a large
one, it is small in proportion to the
business this active and progressive firm
is doing The Messrs. Peery are natural
born merchants, but not of the old school.
They buy goods to sell and know how to
sell them. From now on watch their
space in the Republican" and you will
find it to your advantage.

work at its yards at Tiptop last week. This
IS earlier in the season than heretofore for |
work to be resumed, but the Company |

ntendent for the Company, knows how
o push things and is the most skilled
Prick man we know.

as then expected that the election of
wn officers would be held, as usual, in
nril. 1t has transpired that under the
,w Constitution the election could not be
Id until next November, without legisla-
re action. This applied to all the other :
