Ontdolng Expectations.

We are always glad to PRINT Ia the
Clnch Valley News story about a
remarkable success achieved 10y ad-
vertising, and especially so when the
article advertised Is one OF superior
merit.
Not 80 very long ago Jno. T.. Jack
son one of Tazewell most enterpris-
ing druggists, succeeded in getting the
DIR. Howard Co. 20 allow him TO sell
their Specific for the cure of consti-
patton aud dyspepsia at half price, as
an Introductory offer.
The results Of this advertising have
been phenomenal, aud there has b, en-
hardly week without Jno. T..
Jackson being obliged TO order fresh
supplies.
Such was his confidence in the re-
medy that he personally guaranteed
every package of the Specific that he
has sold, and agreed TO refund the
money il it did not cure. His faith
was we'll founded, for out of the hun
dreds of packages he has sold. only
one has been returned.
De- Jno. T.. jackson In continent
ing upon the great success that FOIL
owed the adoption OF his suggestion,
not only in Tazewell but i'm other
places, says:
"The success OF DR.. Howard's Speci.
lie in our city rs wonderful. / re.
ceiYed my Grst consignment the last
of July, and since then have sold
hundreds Ot packages, aud cannot
not get ii fast enough to keep my
customers supplied. / have not had
IA single bottle returned, although j
have guaranteed every one. and have
heard nothing but praise OF it's merits.
This is a record unsurpassed 10y any
remedy that ! have sold in the
drug business"

The Ground Hog
I'm Tennessee

HenderRons Springs, Tenn. Feb. 10.
To the Clinch Valley News, MIR. Editor.
l would not trouble YOU with another
communication 80 soon after the one
dated January 20, but feared that bv
posiponing.until later might forget all
about the cold weather, though It will
NOT, perhaps, be forgotten soon by many
IN this country. think that there has
been moro, aud harder winter here since
Christmas than there was in all the two
winters that spent here. This has been
called sunny landn, and so IL is usual
ly, but for the last two months it has
not been quito 30 sunny IA might be
suppo e !, There has been but little
sunshine here for the last two months.
aud the most OF that was on ground
hog day, and you know that the pros
pect for good weather is all tho worse
10y that.
After spending two winters here I
flattered myself that / had escapcd
most OF the coolest winter weather, and
that winter would no longer be a
terror. l had learned TO regard the
winter here AZ comparatively nothing.
but in this was mistaken. Tho 10Th of
January was "A very cold day. and also
tho 20 OF the same month. but nothing to
compare with this spell. It rninod all
day ON last Sunday the i2, and at night
IT turned Geld and showed that night
and Monday TO the depth OF about five
inches. Monday and Monday night still
colder, ! had two horees in the stable.
one was black aud tho otherl one bay,
but when went out to feed Tues Iay
morning they had both become white as
milk, and when / went up stairs |
thought that sombody had taken every
raw of my hay and had left cotton i'm
itS place. So began, or rather continu-
ed, To think that tho weather was pretty
cold, and ns had no thermometer of
my own began TO enquire Of my neigh
bors how the mercury stood, aud from
their answers was convinced that Twas
correct In thinking that tho weathor
was cold sure enough, for they told me
that variously owing to location, at
from 10 Go % below zero. Yesterday
was just a little more moderate and Go
day is Just little more moderate than
Yesterday.
| Flowing will be late here this spring,
as twill now be impossible to add any
to what was done IN early winter, be-
fore March
Perhaps l had better stop for this
time. Success TO the News and its many
readers A. Hounshell.

ADOPTED RUSSIAN TACTICS.

Unfortunate as the Russian sol
diers arF in the present war, they
have the consolation of knowing
that their tactics are greatly ad-
mired by the troops of the cmir of
Bokhara. A French traveller in Asia
reports that the favorite military
exercise of the emir's warriors is to
lie on their backs at the sound of
the trumpet and kick their legs in
the air, Perplexed by this singular
action, the visitor made inquiries
and found that it was borrowed
from the Russians, who, when they
were subduing Bokhara, had to
wade through many streams and
when they reached dry ground used
to lie on their backs to shake the
water out Of their boots. Greatly
struck by this performance, the ma
tiyes took it to be a sign of mill
tary efficiency and FASTENED to
strengthen their own fighting force
by adopting it.-London Chronicle.

And IL Was Confidential.

Speaker Cannon writes a very bad
hand. Not long ago he sent note
to Representative Cushman Of
Washington. Cushman could make
nothing of it. So he took it to a
colleague, who managed to decipher
two or three words. Another con-
gresham was visited, with the same
result, but the joint labor of half a
dozen of them was necessary to even
an incomplete translation, for the
last three words had to be given up
as undecipherable. So Cushman
took the note to Cannon and asked
him what the battling phrase was.
Cannon glanced at it and said,

Tibetan Grand lsmss.

The grand lamas of Tibet have
never for 100 years been allowed to
attain their majority. Chosen for
his semidivine position in infancy,
the grand lama has been allowed to
grow up until he was just approach
ing eighteen, and then suddenly he
has disappeared, and once more an
infant reigns in the great, high posi-
tion. 1t says something for the
dalai lama of today that he is the
first who for 100 years has been
able to pass the Rubicon of his ma
jority. But he only did this by an
