In Memory of John w.
Newton

Through the wisdom OF the Father,
In his mansions up above,
He has seen fit TO deprive you
OF d husbands tender love.
or fathers kind protection,
Which in love he ere has given,
May his words OF wisest counsel
In his children's minds be riven.
AS a beacon light twill guide them,
Der the rugged paths of life,
III temptations hour twill guard
them
Tho the world with sin be rife.
Deaths but the ending OF life's
journey;
Just the reaching OF the goal,
"Dust thou art TO dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul"
He has gone TO meet his record,
Gone to claim the prize he's won,
Though you miss him at the fiIeside,
'Tis Gods way His will be done.
Only for a time however,
Till your earthly race is run,
Life is but span at longest,
Then our work on earth is done.
Prepare to live life eternal,
Where sin and sorrow are no more,
Where well meet and claim our
loved ones,
On that bright eternal shore.

To the Memory of Joe

Died on The 18th OF January, 1907.
at the home of his parents on Plum
Greek after an illness OF twelve hours,
Joseph, the little son Of Henry and
Mullie Witten.
Joe, was boy OF four years, the
pride Of his parents, a boy Of unusual
intelligence, handsome, and a child
quick To attract, and win admiration
rom those with whom he came in con-
tact; us the son Of my old playmate /
loved the little fellow, and to be near
him would recall to the writer DAYS
when his father and 1 as barefooted
boys roamed over the pastures; after
all the happiest days; free from care
with nature as our God and guide.
To the father this is indeed an affllc-
ton, and to him we tender our truest
sympathy, which is like unto the love
OF brother.
Dear little fellow, life is but this:
A glad good-morning, goodnight
kiss;
A hope, fear, and falling tear,
A cross TO clasp and cross to bear,
And laurels and thorns for the brow
to wear,
But dear little fellow, don't forget:
Leaving you know, that L love you
yet.

There is a tide in the affairs of

(Communicated.)
CLINCH VALLEY News:
Burke's Garden shut out from the
rest OF the world by the terraqueous
commissions of prehistoric times blooms
an oasis in a desert. A more beautiful
picture when viewed from the vicinity
of Beartown mountain cannot be pro-
duced in any state or land. In harmony
with this scene the animal and vege-
table productions strive to outstrip
their surroundings; but the worthy
men and fair women are the crowning
glory of this happy valley. In pristine
days, when glory and honor beckoned
them on to deeds of chivalry and re-
nown, none took the lead of these men
In the race that gave fruition to their
noble efforts. These golden days we
shall not forget, but the evolution of
circumstances and conditions have i'm
posed and added a more strenuous
life, and in order to keep abreast of the
times, extraordinary efforts and enter
prise must be used or we shall find
that our past achievements in this age
of iron and material development will
avail us little. The treasures of Burke's
Garden must and will find a market,
and who shall reap the benefit thereof?
If they had the option offered, and
every thing being equal, their prefer
ence would undoubtedly be for their
brothers and neighbors to gain any
advantage that the sale of their COM
modities might afford. But strangers
stand ready to grasp this opportunity
that presents itself, and unless our
people bestir themselves in that re-
gard the neighboring cities Of Graham
and Bluefield will anticipate the in
ducements that should be offered to
the people of the Garden" and the
season for action will have passed
away forever.
The county cannot and must not let
the CIRCUMSTANCES lustl oUIlOuuO CuclAi
go unheeded. The people of Burke's
Garden are determined to haYe troll.
lev line as an outlet, and Tazewell can
not afford to let it's terminus be else
where than in her capital town. 1t is
the place for it to be, and let us tel
our friends of the Garden" that nc
Inducements from strangers shall bt
greater than ours, that we will do al
we should do and we will expect then
to be equally just in their demands az
we are In our offers. Let the citizen:
. OF Tazewell and the Tazewell Stree
Railway act at once. Between friends
and neighbors neither party must tt.

Ting the matter, and If correct th'
agreements shouli be entered int
without delay, viz: the Burke's Gardei
folks to extend their trolley to Grattoi
and the Tazewell Street Railway t.
do likewise with their line.
This is the gist Of the whole mattel
and immediate action is imperative.

day passed the resolution above given
There were about seventy fyo people
present, numbering among them the
leading and wealthy citizen Of the com
munity, all of whom. with Il very few
exceptions, voted for the resolution.
and seemed enthusiastic on the sub.
iect.
Pursuant to call issued by Mr.. JnO
p. Gose, one OF the prominent young
citizen OF BuIke's Garden, about
seventy-five citizens OF the community
met in the Academy buildinh, "a.
O'Clock. The meeting was called to
order by Prof. A S. Greever, who call.
ed Mr.. Gose TO preside. who stated
that the object o. the meeting as STATED
In the call, was TO consider the proph-
ETY. and feasibility OF a car line from
Burke's Garden TO Tazewell, or some
other point outside. After discussion by
several gentlemen who were called up
on the resolution, us above reported,
was adopted.
A permanent organization was affect
ed, with Mr.. II. NJ Lawson, President,
and Prof. A. $. Greever, Secretary.
Mr.. Lawson proceeded to appointan
executive committee. who, with the
Chairman and Secretary, will find out
what steps are best 10 take, etc.
At this meeting were present n com
mittee from Blueheld, consisting OF W.
II. Coffman and p. M. Walizer, who
represented the Chamber OF Commerce
and the Bluefleld Traction Company
and Mr.. j. II. Sluss, of Graham, a
prominent civil engineer.
Tazewell was represented, by invita-
ton OF Mr.. Gose, by Messrs L. l..
Greever, j. G.. Buston, g. A. Martin
and the Editor OF the Clinch Valley
News.
Messrs Coffman, Walizer and Slws,
made intelligent speeches as to cost,
practicability, etc, Of a line from
Burke's Garden to Bluefield. and con-
tributed much TO the interest OF the
occasion.
Messrs E. L. Greever and J. G. Bus
ton made helpful talks, and the Editor
Of this paper made "few feeble re-
marks.
w. B. Doak, of Burke's Garden,
made a good speech, advocating Blue
field as the logical center Of thit sec
ton, and thought car line to that city
would pay a better dividend than one
to Tazewell
Prof. Greever said that a line from
BuIke's GARDEN was wanted, "not 80
much in order to put US In touch with
the outside world, but to enable the
outside world to get In touch with U.S.
and that, ait is matter Of indifference
to us whether the line Is built to Tsze-
well or Bluefield.
Mr.. Lawson. who was elected Pnsi-
dent Of the Railway Committee, being
called upon, said that Burke's Garden
could and would make a large quan-
tity of produce If market were more
accessible. Mr.. Lawson, who isper-
haps the wealthiest citizen OF the COM
munity, Is in hearty sympathy and ac-
cord with the movement.
Mr.. Coffman, speaking for Blueaeld
said that that city would do what II
could to help build the line.
The meeting adjourned.

The Cost of a Steam Road to
Burke'S Garden.
j. w. w.

Some people there are in every COM
munity, who look at every position
purely from money-point Of view.
Sentiment is excluded. Moral, social
and intellectual consequences are often
over shadowed entirely by the "busi-
ness considerations. For the benefit
Of those who take only this view of
the care line proposition an estimate is
here given Of the cost of a steam road
to Burke's Garden, the distance esti-
mated upon being 10 miles. This esti-
mate does not include grading. The
grading for an electric or steam road
will be, practically about the samoa
little more for the steam road, per-
hsps.
Here is the estimate:
10 miles 46 pound rails $3.50
10 miles ties 10000
Spikes $4,000
Dummy Engine 5000
Total: $4,000
The above estimate is not exact, of
course, but In the neighborhood of
correct. The figures are based upon
official statements, and are put rather
over than under the true figures In
every case. Add to the above $4,000
per mile for grading, and the entire
cost will be about $4,000 to COM
plete the line. For an electric line Just
about double this amount, and you
will have probable cost of the road
This is not far from correct.
