THE RING OF THE
FAIR MINDED

Editor News:
The announcement OF John w Eclx-
man of Pulaski, that he will support
Robert p. Bruce for congress. has the
ring OF the fair minded and righteous
gentleman II reminded a number of
Wise county Democrats that there are
Republicans In the Ninth district who
are appreclatlve.
In the contest 2 years ago, wysor
against Slemp, goodly number of
unity Democrats voted for Mr.Slemp.
Mr.. EekWan was here during that
'ampalgn aud he knows why these
Democrats voted for SIemp. Mr. Eek
man Is one OF those gentlemen who
does not iorget, and who Is capable O
judging men worthy to represent our
district in congress. His example Is
worthy ot emulation. Ii is wise nj. q
conservative. Let us for sake OF Illus
stration reverse the situation. Suppose
Bruce was the Republican nominee and
Slemp the Democratic nominee it
would still be Bruce with men OF lofty
ideas like John w. Eckman. Let the
Ninth Virginia District follow the ex-
ample OF Ohio, Pennsylvania and
various large cities, which held men
tried and true above party, and voted
for the man, In this case Robert z
Bruce Is the man. This Ia from
Democrat who supported Slemp
against Wysor and did conscientious
ly--and one who has been In tohch
with j. p. Bruce in late years and who
knows much OF his every day home

Friend OF my better days."
Necessarily slowly, but we trust
surely, the work of improving our
cemeteries goes on, and wo ask those
Interested TO have patience and faith
and help us all they can. This is the
only way we can accomplish anything.
for as body of women we are only
trying TO do what should have been
done long ago, and acting for the peo-
pie, We can only do what they enable
us 10 do. We went 20 work with no
funds, and every step takes money
This comes in slowly as our reports
show, but every dollar helps and we
intend 10 push ahead. The entire
county helped us with the lunch we
served at the Fair, and thus made IL
possible for us TO clear 5000. Their
kindness, in doing this, we keenly ap-
preciate, and yet they were only help
ing us to look after county property.
The old cemetery does not belong to
this town but 10 the entire community
For more than fifty years it has been
used by any man who chose "a spot
and dug n grave. 1t was used by the
county farm as long AS any space was
left, and during the civil war the
Tazewell men who fell fighting were
laid TO rest in this cemetery. To the
shame OF the county they sleep TO this
day in unmarked graves. There are
few families in the county who have
not some relatives or dear friends i'm
this little hill side burial ground, and
to restore and keep 1t should be a
work Of love and duty, entered heartily
into by all OF us.
Already we have spent more than
$3.50 on this cemetery, and more than
this amount will be necessary yet to
get il in perfect order. The rock wall
and iron fence show the grade OF i'm
provcments we wish to continue
making, and we trust it is source Of
satisfaction TO every one who has
helped us in any way to go by the old
cemetery and note the changes that
have already been made. After due
deliberation the Association adopted
the name "Jeffersonville Cemetery as
it stands ON the arched gate. This
was done in memory OF old times and
old friends, and In way it will help
to keep alive the history Of our town
as II was when many OF those mon and
women who sleep in this cemetery,
were It's moving spirits.
If in two years we get the surface Of
this ground in good order, we will do
we'll, for it was a rough taDgle Of
weeds, shrubs and vines, growing wild
in sink holes and over the irregular
mounds. 1t was our plan to get the
regular six inch mounds over all the
graves by the old walk, and any
where through the grounds where
they are desired. but the summer
rains kept the sod too rotten to hold,
and now we will wait until March.
The unmar q graves are staked
of, so far as we were able to locate
them and any help in this way viii be
gladly received.
The new cemetery Ia name has MT

Letter to J. w. Moss.
Reader.
Tazewell, Va.

Dear Sir: Our agent ought To sell
-tenths OF the paint of town and
region; no use to try for the other
tenth. The proportion of men, who
won't take good advice, and use the
least-gallons paint, is about one In ten
among even owners of houses and
stores and shops and barns and fences
One man in ten will buy gold brick
or green goods, if he has the money
and gets good chance.
Devoe at $1.75 a gallon is better
than gold; adulterated and short.
measure paints are green goods and
gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, of the
labor and wages Of painting; 1t is all
paint; full strength and full measure.
There is no other such paint within ten
per cent. Ten per cent OF labor and
paint is worth saving; and ten is the
least. There are scores OF paints that
throw-away half of both gallons and
labor on whiting, china-clay, ground
stone, barytes, benziDe, waterfall they
are good for is to make gallons of
nothing and look like paint in the can:
more gallons to buy and more gallons
to pay for putting -on-gold bricks and
green goods. Here's how they work.
Judge ID Fairchild owns two hous-
es exactly alike in Lufkin, Texas. J II
Terrence painted both houses; one
Devoe, 10 l-5; the other with another
paint sold at same price; 25 gallons.
That % gallon paint is weak and 15
per cent whiting; that's why 1t took
s l-2 gallons more.
Yours truly

When Bob" Gets TO the Senate.

When the Honorable Bob Tay-
ior, erstwhile Governor Of Ten
nessee, but primarily famous for
the fiddle and the bow, and for
the bazoo, gets into the senate of
the United States, that illustrious
body will have cause to felicitate
itself, and even the Hon. JEFF
Davis, of Arkansas, will be lulled
into rhapsodic silence. Tillman
will be moved to break the brittle
tines of his fork and throw it
away, the assemblage will give
itself up to peace and poetry, and
all the world will hang spellbound
upon thd music of him who can,
as no other orator can, "play
upon the harp of a thousand
strings, the spirits of just men
made perfect. ."-Republic.
