a very handsome and valuable property
that is free from debt. Some five or Elk
years ago it was encountered with large
Indebtedness, but the property has been
we'll managed and the finances of the or

MIR. w. N. Raeland, soliciting agent for
the Virginia Daily Press recently started
at Roanoke, Va, arrived at Tazewel last
Thursday afternoon. He spent Friday
canvassing Tazewell and North Tazewell
and met With gratifying success in the
work. We venture to say that no one has
ever secured anything like as many SUBJ
scriptions in one day at Tazewell as did
Mr.. Ragland. He was fortunate in hav-
ing old friends here to introduce him to
the citizens, AMI he knew how to talk bis
business after introduction. He bad WIS.,
tied Pocahontas and Graham before COM
ing here where he also met with excellent
success. This was Mr.. Ragland's first
visit to Tazewell and he expressed gratit-
cation and wonder at the progressive
features of the place and the business en-
terprise of our people.
