North Tazeweu Merchants Pay no Tax

1t is stated upon reliable authority
that no merchant i'm the town OF North
Tazewell pays now, OF has ever paid, a
license tax for the privilege OF engag-
ing in business in that town. Every
thing is absolutely free so far as license
tax is concerned. This is perhaps the
only town in the State, regularly in
corporated, with a complete set of
municipal officers, which does not levy
license in some form. The only
explanation obtainabIe of this extra
ordinary state Of Things is, that as a
rule, that the merchants OF the town
are members Of the council, and per
haps do not choose to tax themselves.
The corporation taxes amount to
something like $600.O0 per year.
The town has recently issued bonds
to the amount of S250O. The streets
need improving, and it appears little
singular that the Council does not
avail itself of it's privilege TO raise a
nice revenue by fixing, as other towns
in the country do, reasonable license
tax.

we have the louder will be the cry that
sounds in our ears from the millions
that sit in darkness and in the shad-

SUFFERING WITH CHRIST
Tt is the noble soul that is panied
by the presence of sin and suffering,
and we must not judge too harshly
the good men who sometimes put on
sackcloth and sit among the shadows.
/ heard a lady impeaching the char

time because she said they were not
more bUoyant, happy and hopeful.
Said she, Il believe in q gospel of glad
ness, and that is the only gospel for
me-" The angels sang on the night
of the Saviour's birth. The gospel
means good news. The more of a
Christian a man is the happier, the
more hopeful he will be- One of the
fruits of the spirit is joy. The doing
of Gods will makes heaven. But we
must remember that Jesus Christ him
self was sometimes called the Man of
Sorrows; that he was acquainted with
grief The presence of sin in the
world Swallowed his whole earthly life
and put an awful bitterness into the
cup that was pressed to his lips in
Gethsemane. The true Christian suf-
fers with his Master over the sin and
sorrow of the world, but he cannot
despair and cannot be a pessimfst-

and located his mission among the
tribes at the extreme southern part of
the continent. In 1874 he succeeded in
forming society known as the Pata-
CONAN Missionary society. From this

England to the needs of this work. the
hostility of the natives and the sever

be discouraged by these obstacles. Re

necessary funds and in 1850 he again

Swapping Dinners.
Boldly challenging the old system of
so-called hospitality. which made elab-
crate dinners for those who needed
them not, Jesus declared that the feast
which was most noble, and which
brought the greatest reward, was the
one which fed the poor the manned,
the halt, and the blind. The old Gus
tom Of barterng dinners in society has
come down undiminished to the pres
ent day. You society matron speaks of
lowing q dinner" as naturally as she
speaks of owing money to the butcher.
In fact, in some quarters it is more a
matter of concern to pay dinner debts
than to pay the butcher. the baker and
the grocer who furnish the substance
Of the meal. This heartless exchange
of hospitality among those who need
it not, and are often only bored there
by, is really not hospitality at all.
Genuine hospitality is extended to
those who need it. He who takes into
his home a lonely stranger. and who
shares his nominal, genuine family life
with another, is fulfilling the Scriptural
ideal of hospitality. This is a virtue
which sorely needs reviving. There are
thousands of young men and women in
every large city who need nothing else
so much as the touch Of a genuine
home upon their lives. To extend hos
pitality to these, who cannot repay in
kind, but who can live nobler sweeter
lives because of their contact with the
domestic virtues. is surely better worth
while than to devise elaborate dinners
for persons who Will simply, in turn,
try to outVie them.

no wealth, but plenty of real refine
ment, where boys and young men are
made welcome in unaffected friendli-
ness. They are free to go there for
"a good time" and they are never
preached at, but the touch of all these
fine ideals Of home is upon them, for
the influencing Of their whole lives.

Our modern idolatry is not SO crude

many forms bearing the mark of the

many tool marks, and 1t Is the same
old ignorance and imagination and
not tnfreQuently the same old fraud
which blind us to the signs of faulty
workmanship on our images. We do
not need to go back 100 years, when
our theology damned infants to and
the signs of human workmanship,
God In the perfection of his living
plans for salvation omitted none, but
we need to cease worshiping at the
shrines OF our selfishness and get his
