Cigarettes and SChOOlbOyS.
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
The principal Of one of the public
sc ehools in Brooklyn, y. v, has begun
a crusade against the sale of cigar
cites TO the pupils of his school, and
he says that the principal of every
school in that city will join him in
the effort to prevent this injurious
traffic.
Something had to be DONE" said
this principal. SO many of my boys
have been physically affected that it
Is a wonder to me that many of them
are alive The plan of action is to
prosecute all dealers who sell cigar
cites to schoolbOys, and make the
prosecution so vigorous that it must
be 6ffectusl in stopping the traffic.
But cannot the teachers reach the
boys without paying attention to the
dealers? At present athletics have a
high place in the daily lives Ct &c hool
boys. With football, basket ball,
baseball, and all the other activities
in which boys are encouraged to in
dulge, each has a natural desire to
excel Would it not be advisable for
the teachers to point out to boys the
INJURIOUS effect OF cigarette smoking?
If every boy were told, for instance,
that he could not hope to be success
full in athletics so long as indulged
himself in that pernicious and in
furious habit, would it not be possible
10 put stop, very largely, to cigar
ette smoking: Still further, if the
principal of every high school, for in
stance, would debar from athletic
contests under his supervision every
boy who smoked cigarettes the effect
would be bent fetal in a marked way.

THE WIND STORM.

Tazewsn was visited last Saturday
and Sunday by the severest wind storm
experienced here for years.
The wind was noticeably high on
Saturday morning. but increased to-
ward evening. and by ten o'clock
Saturday night was blowing a perfect gale
1t subsidized about IL o'clock, only TO
return with increased force. Many
people OF the town were kept awake
all night, others slept but little. The
houses shook. and the night was a
fearful one.
The large wholesale grocery stores
OF Stras Hartman & Co. and w. A.
Scott & Co., at North Tazewell, were
partially unrofred, as was also the
Steam Laundry. Fences weres blown
down and everything movable was
hustled about generally.
Very many people are nervous, and
really suffer during these wind storms
But, it should quiet their fears to know
that a dreadful wind Is necessary to
destroy wcll-built house. Within a
residence here OF fifteen years we have
known only one house blown down
and that an old stable. We have q
large number OF small, light houses
here. but not one OF them, 80 far as we
have heard. has been wrecked by 8
straight ordinary wind.
This last storm came from the south
east, and blew for nearly twenty-foul
hours, and at this writing, Monday
no serious damage has been reported

Single or Multiple, Which?

The question of single oT,multi-
pie list of school books for the State
is elicl,ing great interest, aud rightly
so. 1t is question of much impor-
lance in many ways to the people
of the entire state.
The book companies will fight it,
of course, but beyond the objections
which these gentlemen make 1t Is
difficult to scrape up reasonable
argument against the single as In
favor of multiple list.
Just why the children of Tazewell
should not study the same books a.
the children of Wise, Russell or Ches-
terfeld OF any other county, is not
clear.
The country people do good bit
of moYing around, and heretofore,
the first thing the Ia al Of the family
had to do was to 90 10 the book store
and buy an entirely new Set Of books,
il mattered not how many and how

/ FORMER TBZEwELL MAN
KILLED NEAR WEIGH

The papers last week contained
an account OF the killing OF a
m an near Welch, by q
woman who was staying with the fami-
ly OF NJ. NJ. McDay, night guard at the
Jail The mans name was Joe Hol-
brook, who was born and reared Ia
Tazewell, on Bluestone, and is bro
ther OF Rev. z. n. Holbrook, we are In.
formed, and was about 81 years OF
age. His wife and six children survive,
and live at Squire Jim. He was twice
married, his first wife being a Miss
Brewster.
1t seems that he went TO the McDay
residence, probably through mistake,
thinking 1t was the home Of his brother
in-law, Rose, who lives In the same
vicinity. and in the night, he may have
mistaken the house.
He went to the Day house about {
o'clock, was very much under the In
fiuence Of liquor, He insisted on re-
manning over night, but was refused
as MI. McDay was absent. After he
was gotten out OF the house he return
ed, and tried to force the door open to
get in. Mrs. McDay fired at the door
but did no harm. She handed the CUR
TO the Keen woman, who fired through
the door, killing Holbrook instantly
Hts body was found In the yard next
morning. The weapon used was q
double barrelled shot gun.
No blame is attached to the womer
who did the shooting.
