IS THE RAILROAD RESPONSIBLE?

who Is responsible? Without under.
taking TO say, this is true-no drunken
man should be allowed to travel on a
railroad car who is not capable Of TAX
Ing care of himself, or who is too drunk
to knew what he is doing or how to
behave himself. Ladies and gentlemen
are often insulted, Inundated and theil
lives endangered by drunken men, who
are allowed to drink. curse and raise

that the authorities should make some
effort to stop this sort OF thing in
some other way than authorizing their
officers and agents to club men into
insensibility whom they have permitted
TO board their trains. III drunken men
cannot be kept off the trains then stop
the train and put them off as soon as
possible. This is the easiest and much
the cheapest and safest way to dispose
OF them, and troubled avoided, travel

PAY YOUR BILLS NOW.

1t is important at all times that
business men, and every one who
owes money, should keep their bills
paid up. \ man Injuries himself and
hinders his own business growth, as
well as other people, by not paying his
debts promptly when due, or when
statement is received One mans
failure TO pay may prevent numbers OF
of others from paying. and thus tie up
money that should circulate in the
community. One dollar paid has been
known to pay twenty dollars in debts
in one day by keeping it moving. And
then, it costs to collect money. Where
the debt is small one, and several
statements have TO be sent a good per.
sentage OF the amount is lost in post
age stamps, stationery, time, etc,
necessary in mailing these statements.
1t may seem small matter to some TO
call attention to this, but large num-
bers Of business firms, small and great.
are Inconvenience by just this failure
on the part of their creditors who
could pay, to be prompt in settling their
bills.
Particularly at this time of the year
should every body pay their bills if
possible.
Hundreds of little children, and
grown up people, too, perhaps, will be
deprived OF good time Christmas Just
because somebody forgot or neglected
to pay perhaps the small amount due
and promised, and depended upon. BY
all means pay your bills next week, if
possible

Editor, Clinch Valley Views.
Tazewell, Virginia.
Dear Sir:-After enjoying the visit OF
the the News for years, would like to
give greeting to we Editor and many
friends in Tazewell, and give brief ac-
count of my soiourn in Oklahoma.
To-day there is a snow falling which
takes me back, in fancy, to dear old
Virginia. with her long, snowy, muddy
ana cold winters. i cannot but think
OF the great contrast that the winter
season in Oklahoma presents. This is
the first time to see the ground white
with snow in three years. Mud is a
stranger to us, while it is very few days
during the year that a man cannot
work comfortably without his coat
The summer is delightful, a pleasant
breeze at all times, with nights cool and
refreshing. And as 20 health, it exceeds
any country that / ever knew, while
socially and morally it sufpasses many
eastern communities. The people are
ready to lend helping hand to a new
neighbor.
Four short years ago North West
Woods County was the home OF the
big cattle man. To-day it presents a
| scene fair to behold. 1t is thickly set
tied with broad fields of wheat and
other grain thickly dotting the surface
of broken pararie country with the
farmer snugly housed in any kind Of
a building from dugout 10 the pre-
| tentious modern home, surrounded by
thrifty fruit trees and vineyards, while
the barnyard presents n fair sight,
with the sleak, well fed horses, cattle
and hogs; feed yards full to overflow
ing, prosperity in plain view wherever
you chance TO look.
trust that many OF the Eastern
people took advantage of the Fair to
learn much of our great country,
where good homes are within reach Of
the poor man The West has been
so far underestimated. The farmsrs so
magnifled. The once dreaded cow boy
with his six shooter, is a thing of the
past, and as manly lot of free heart
ed, good natured men as ever entered
an Eastern drawing room, will quietly
drive three thousand head of cattle by
your residence without disturbing the
household.
Well, the snow has reached the
depth of three inches, and / am think
ing OF the good time in store when it
ceases, hunting the mule cared jack
rabbit. So 1 will extend a cordial in
vitation to Mr.. Editor and readers to
attend the Xmas exercises to be held
in our school house, whose walls reach
from ocean to ocean, and the roof is of
mother earth, upheld by huge rafters,
beams and pillars affording comforta-
BILE rooms for large crowd to spend Il
delightful evening, where there will not
be breath tainted with the whiskey
that Is doing so much TO destroy the
boys and youths OF your community,
Is leading them TO commit crimes that
are strangers to our courts.
merry Christmas to each and all,
/ VIII say, Good night.
