| There was rumor current about town
few days ago that Prof. G. L. Byron
would return to Virginia, and would
probably take charge of the High School
at Pocahontas for the next session. Up
on an investigation we found the latter
report incorrect, but we are told that
Prof. Byron is thinking of resuming
work as an educator.

coats now ready for sale.

in his profession. Mr.. Patton is also
taking much interest in politics, and is

We regret to hear, through letter
received at this place by friend, that
Captain P. ]. Lockhart, of Honaker,
Va, is in very i'll health. He is one of
the most popular citizens of Russell
county, and lived for several years at
Richards in this county. We hope that
Captain Lockhart's condition will i'm
prove, and that he will soon be restored
to health and usefulness.
One of the most attractive features
of the fair next week will be the young
ladies riding contest. The management
are anxious to have as many young
ladies as possible enter this contest. If
there are any who would like to do
so and they cannot find suitable horse,
the management will be glad to assist
them in procuring one. Write to the
secretary, DR.. R. P. Copenhaver.
The Tazewell Fair Association has
completed large building for agricul-
tural exhibits and the farmers of the
county ought to make full line of ex-
hibits in this department, so as to give
visitors to the fair some reasonable idea
of the agricultural possibilities and re-
sources of the county. This is feature
of the Fair in which every farmer can
take part, and every one should strive
to make it a success. Liberal premiums
will be given in every line.
On last Thursday evening about 8
o'clock, the residence of - Osborne,
in Poor Valley, Tazewell county, was
dynamited. Mr. Osborn says thirteen
sticks of the stuff were exploded about
the front part of the house which al
most destroyed the building. There
were two occupants, Osborn and his
mother, in the house at the time, but
neither was seriously injured. No def
mite clue has been. obtained that would
indicate VINO perpetrated the dastardly
deed.
Rev. ]. o. Straley, agent of Emory
and Henry College, arrived at Tazewell
on last Saturday. He has recently been
appointed agent for the college to raise
fifty thousand dollars by subscription
for the purpose Of erecting new college
buildings. When that amount is secur-
ed Mr.. Carnegie has promised to give
twenty-five thousand dollars for the
same purpose. Mr.. Straley is meeting
with excellent success, and has already
raised over half the necessary amount
to secure the gift from Mr.. Carnegie.
He preached in the Methodist church at
North Tazewell on Sunday morning and
at Main Street church at night. His
labors here were rewarded with great
success. He secured 81, 755.0O in SUBJ
scriptions and hopes that the Tazewell
people will raise the amount to 1900.
