ADVERTISEMENT TAZEWELL.

The fact is conceded that the news
papers Of this town carry as much or
more advertising than any county
papers in the state. The merchants,
as rule. after having tried it for
years, are increasing rather than
diminishing their amount of space
each year. 1t is needless TO add that
these persistent advertisers are the
largest and most successful merchants
in this section of the country. Their
stores and their business DO credit to
the town, and have helped to make
the town what it is
However, a glance at the columns
of the papers shows that several Of
our large firms do little OF no advertis-
ing, The electric light people do not
advertize. neither do the telephone
people. There isn't bank advertise
ment in either paper. There are two
large hardware stores i'm town. neither
of which advertise at all.
The merchants at North Tazcwcll
do but little advertising. comparative
ly. The same of Pocahontas and
other towns and hamlets i'm the coun-
ty. Why is this difference? Evidently
these silent merchants aud firms do
not believe it is necessary. or that it
will pay, to advertise. If this is what
they think how do they account for the
conduct of such firms as HARRISON 4

Well, hardly. Would they throw or

Investment, and the non-advertiscrs
must answer the above questions sat
isfactorily before a correct answer can
be given as To why they continue to

Mail Order Houses and Home
Merchants.

1t is said upon good authority. that
the mail order business is rapidlv in

increased at least twenty five per cent
within Il year or 50, and is still in

their interest ends. The home
merchant gives credit. spends his
money at homo. and takes am active
interest in the growth Of his conmmi-
ty. Is it fair, then, to spend money
with the foreign merchant. which
could be, and should be. spent AT
home? 1t is not argued that there i
anything morally wrong in ordering
from the mail order people, or that a
citizen hasn't the right To get his
goods where he can get them the
cheapest, but only. that it is unfair TO
the home merchant.
However, people are going to order
goods as they please. The only way
out of the difficulty seems To be to adj

FORTUNE IN A SHIP.
VESSEL RETURNS WITH $780,
600 IN WHALE BONE.
One of the Fleet Which Escaped Ice
Is Back in Port with Sixteen
Bowheads Which Were Slain
Ola Profitable Voyage.

San FranciscO.-The steam whaler
William Baylies. with a fortune in
whalebone slowed away in her hold. has
arrived from the arctic. The Baylies
and the Monterey were the only vessels
OF the arctic feet to escape from the ice
The Monterey was in company with the
Baylies until the ice assumed a threat
ening aspect. on account of her dimin-
utive size the Monterey started for home.
After she left the Baylies began to catch
whales and ha6 no more trouble with
the ice.
To the harpoOns of the William Bay
lies there fell 10 bowhead whales, which
yielded 10000 pounds OF bone. This
bone, under ordinary circumstances.
would be worth from So TO So a pound.
The Imprisonment in the ice of the re-
mainder of the fleet. however. will have
the effect of increasing the worth of the
Baylies' catch to 81 or IS pound.
From captain to green hands all are paid
for the voyage certain proportion or
lay of the value of the catch. This pro-
portion varies according to the mans
rating The green hands. whose inter
est is something more than two-hun-
dredths, are paid on a basis of $1.50 a
pound.
Capt Bodfish. master of the William
Baylies, will receive more than $4,000
for his eight months work. His mate
will get $4,000. second mate $4,000. and
SO on down the line. The green hands
will receive $500 each, less the amount
charged against them. In the latter
case the process used in fixing the value
of the bone is reversed. For bone worth
SS the green hand is paid $3.50 pound,
and for shirts worth 80 cents he is
charged IS. When the green hands OF
the William Baylies receive what is left
of that 5000 they may realize something
of the true meaning of frenzied finance.
But some of them will go whaling next
year.
The biggest whale caught by the Will
liam Baylies yielded $500 pounds of
bone. Apart from its financial success
the cruise was uneventful and the Will
liam Baylies brought back all her boats
intact. She did not even SILVER her
timbers.

NEW NORMAL SCHOOLS.

II has been definitely decided TO
establish three new normal schools i'm
the state-one in the Southwest. one
each i'm Northern and Eastern Virginia.
The school for the Southwest will be
built at Radford. This is the school
which Tazewell hoped 10 secure. An
effort was made during former SEES
sion of the General Assembly "a feeble
attempt failed TO secure more than
honorable mention of Tazewell i'm con
nection with the establishing of the
school. We say 'feeble attempt" for
the reason that the people of the town
and county were not inclined to put up
a substantial inducement To have the
school brought here.
1t is estimated that building and
equipping the three new schools will
cost about S275,OOO.
Radford is fine location in every
respect for the Southwest normal. 1t
is central, healthful, easily reached
and a good normal school there will
be a great blessing To this entire sec
tion
