AT HAZEWELL.
Movement has Been Started for EStab-
fishing a Regular Monthly Market :
1T SHOULD BIZ CORDIALLY SUPPORTED
The Business Men Of the Town Responding
With Liberal Support and it Looks
Like it Will be Made a Success,

Some OF the young f&rmers of the county
nave started q movement to establish
horse Market .. TazewelI, the markets to
w 81" on the seconl Tuesday IN each
month, to begin in March, 1905. The
Tazewel Fair Association has been re-
quested to appoint a committee, one Of
whose members shall act as secretary, to
put the enterprise in operation.
Ever since the county courts were
abolished under the new constitution the
people of the different sections of the
county have been growing unacquainted
with each other, and it has become mani
fest that unless some means are adopted
to have regular gatherings at the court
house the citizens livir. in sections re.
mote from each other will in time become
total strangers to each other. So the
horse market each month will bring the
people together and keep the social re-
ations of the citizens as intimate and
pleasant as they we're under our old court
system, which brought all the people to-
gether once every month. But the most
important purpose of the movement is to
create in Tazewell splendid horse mar
ket, and thereby awaken a keen interest
in what can be made most profitable
business by our farmers.
Tazewel county has already won a re-
putation for the superior quality of its
saddle horses. There are peculiar reasons
why the finest horses in the world can be
bred and reared here. There ia no grass
on earth that is more suitable for giving
flesh and muscle to equines than the blue
grass of Tazewell The rolling lands aud
steep hilsides where young horses are put
to Craze bring every muscle, sinew and
joint of their bodies into use and action,
thus giving them strength and suppleness
and developing naturally those gaits that
have to be acquired by training and band
ling elsewhere.
For many years monthly horse mar
ket has been held at Harrisonburg m
Rockingham county, Va. 1t has made
that town the leading horse market Of the
State. One of the most desirable results
has been the improvement OF the breeds
of horses in Rockingham. We are in
formed that there are 2s registered |
sires In that county, which tells ofthe high |
quality of horses that are bred and raised
there.
We are glad to announce that the bust
ness men Of our town are taking a lively
interest in the establishing of the horse
market. A liberal subscription is being
made for paying the expenses Of launch
ing the movement, to cover the expenses
of advertising and to pay a secretary for
his work.
The Executive Committee of the Taze-
well Fair Association has been requested
to meet, and will meet, at Dr. r. b. Gill
espie's Office at 8 O'Clock, a. M, on Feb.
End to appoint committee to look after
the general interests of the horse market.
That will be the day on which the Farmers
Institute is to be held.
All persons interested in the enterprise
are requested to meet on Saturday, jan
uary the 2Sth, 1905, at 2 O'Clock p M, in
the Office of DR.. R. P. Copentayer at
Tszewell.
