Death of Mrs. ]. Nj. EstiII

Mrs. Mary Lavalette Estill dled
yesterday morning at the home OF
her son, DR.. A. ID. Estill, after an
illness of several months. The re.
mains were taken today to Taze-
well for interment by the side OF
the graves of her husband and sew
eral children.
Mrs. Estill was stricken with
paralysis in the right side the lat
ter part of January and two weeks
ago suffered second stroke, this
time in the left side, from which
she never recovered. Last Sep
TENDER she was afflicted with bron-
chitis, which was the beginning
of an illness that continued until
her death, although she apparent
ly recovered and seemed bright
and cheerful.
Mrs. Estill was daughter Of
Rev. DR.. Andrew b. Davidson, a
well known Presbyterian minister
of Rockbridge, who at one time
was pastor Of the Lexington
church. She was born in Rock
bridge, December 3, 1920. Her
mother was a Miss Dorman. She
married DR.. John M. Estill and for
80 years they lived in Tazewell, Va,
where her husband was a practic-
ing physician. About ten years
ago they came to Lexington and
made their home with their son,
DR.. A. d. Estili, and where her
husband died in 1890,
Mrs. Estill was q woman of
strong religious convictions and
was possessed of lovely Christian
character. Through her influence
the first Presbyterian church at
Tazewell was established.
DR., and Mrs. Estill accompanied |
the remains to Tazewell.

The Anti Dispensary Fight in
Buena Vista

BUBNA VISTA, Feb. 29.-The offer
ing OF the Campbell bill'' before the
State Senate asking for dispensary
at Buena Vista, stirred quite wave
OF indignation among certain citi-
zens. They feel that an attempt was
made to take undue advantage OF a
majority OF our people, and force
upon the people a heated election
campaign when it is a well known
fact that strong majority of the
citizens are against any such measure.
AT called meeting Of the citizens Oh
night OF the 26tlI, about sixty citizens
met at the court house and arranged
an anti-dispensary club, with Mr.. T.
ID. Keller chairman and Mr.. Frank
Amole secretary. BY unanimous
vote protests were telephoned to
Richmond against the bill, and q
counter petition ordered to be gotten
up. The petition when completed
contained twice the number OF names
that were on the one carried to Rich
mond asking for the bill to call the
election. This was the work OF but
one day, whereas the pro-petition was
worked on for several weeks if not
months. A further effort would
doubtless swell the counter petition
greatly. Our people regret deeply
enough that liquor is illegally sold
here, but they are not willing for the
State to open wholesale house" on
our streets at which all the retail
jug-lers can get their supply, to sell
to any one behind any door at any
hour OF the day. With the Anti
Saloon League well equipped, and
live judge on the bench, it is con-
fidently expected that evil doing will
become wonderfully less popular in
the near future. A dispensery, there
lore, would be greatly to the liking
IF certain ilk.

The Republican has information from
II prominent citizen Of this county who
was recently In conversation in ST. Lou
IL with u gentleman in close touch with
the Frisco management, that that road
will push rapidly into this section, the
ST. Louis man declaring that Frisco
steel will reach White river before the
White river road shall reach the tunnel
with its rails.
The declaration Is 80 exactly In line
with what seems TO people here TO be
the only logical policy OF the Frisco that
there is n general disbosltion TO give the
declaration considerable ctcdcncc. The
first movement in the direction above
indicated will be hailed with intense
pleasure by our citizens together with

Little Rock, Jan. 6.-Thc builder Of
the White River branch Of the Iron
Mountain is in Little Rock today. He
is Mr.. J. II Reynolds Of ST. Louis, one
Of the bcst.known railroad contractors
in the country. He is accompanied by
Mr.. G. G.. Smith, his bridge contractor,
7. Tu,tlc, his general manager, II. NJ.
Fulweilcr, his engineer, and Hons Z,
NJ. Horton and J G. South, his attOr-
ncys. They are here for the purpose OF
making dcposltions in the suit Of Pig
gott IL Prcbblc, sub-contrac,ors, against
j. II. Reynolds and the Iron Mountain,
Tor an amount alleged to be due on work
done by the plaintiffs. About $4,000
is the amount involved.
This road Is said to be one Of the most
expensive for It's length in the United
States. Mr.. Reynolds has the contract
for the construction of the line from
Co,tcr TO the state line, II distance OF
100 miles. The cost Of the line from
Cot,cr To the state line has been about
S2 600 per mile, and from Cot,cr down
the river to Ba,csvillc, about So, 1000
There are five tunnels ON the line from
Cottcr To Carthage, some Of them quito
long. The work is more expensive than
the construction Of Rocky mountain
roads, where the matter Of grades and
curves Is not considered so much. On
the White river road straight liucs and
low grades are blasted out irrespective
Of cost, and the result will be one OF the
best road.beds In the United States.
The contractor on the tunnel opposit c
Cotter promises daylight through in
about fifteen days. II will require tf.
teen days more To dress down the sides
aud level up the Ilocr ready for the steel
and then the lack.laycrs can proceed
On the Cottcr bridge some Of the picr'
