A WORD FROM BLAND.

Editor Daily LEADER
The people OF Clear Fork are very
much interested In the proposed
trolley line from Burke's Garden to
some point on the n. & w. Railroad.
We. the people OF Clear Fork, beg
leave to say a word in our behalf as
to the proposed line. This line II
built 10 Tazewell. would miss this
(the most productive valley. when
It comes TO the matter OF trucking
and raising chickens, and all kinds
of country produce. in Virginia
1t will miss us entirely. as II would
be compelled to come from Burke's
Garden through the Crabtree Gap,
and thence up the North side OF
Rich Mountain TO divides at Grafton,
Va. this being the extreme end OF
our valley. But IL the line is built to-
ward Blufeld. Il would reach the
Clear Fork valley on 1-2 or 8 de-
grees, at Cove Creek. distance OF
only three miles. and thence up
through the Gap OF Buckhorn Noun

Mountain. and from there TO the
Saunders Gap. on not greater than
3 degrees. This brings you through
the famous Nye Cove properties. n

quality and containing some ten
thousand acres. The most magnifi-
cent streams and sparkling springs
in Virginia. The iron is acknowledge
ed TO be as good as anything found
in the state. These lands are prin-
cipally ow9ed by the Gillespie
Brothers. OF Tazewell, Va. and the
Hon. II, Newberry. OF Bland. The
grade from the Saunders Gap, on

South Blueheld, can be easily made

Nothing must be out OF place. and

but sailors. like other mortals, are
only human. and. consequently,
leave articles OF clothing and per-
sonal property in places where they
ought not to be. This is an offense
for which they are liable to dis
siplinary punishment: but brill
liant though unknown, officer many
years ago devised a scheme by which
all the articles thus found are
promptly seized by the ships pc
lice and placed in the scrap bag.
There they remain until the next
Thursday afternoon. which is the
dime set aside for men to make and
mend clothes. The bag is then open
d by the master alarms. and the
owners may redeem their lost prop
arty by paying n fine of an inch

SPOILED EFFECT OF SCENE.
Unfortunate Tipping Of Candle Too
Much for Audience.

The late Joseph Jefferson took de-
light In telling story Of business"
in the earlier days Of the Walnut
Street theater, Philadelphia. Cam
lille" was being played and all was 60
ing with intensity. Then came a
scene between Camille and Armand.
in the course Of which servant was
to enter with lights. IN those days."
said Mr.. Jefferson, sea island cotton
was stage Ice cream just as molasses
and water were stage wine, sherry or
port, according to the proportion Of
molasses. Armand and Camille were
seated at the table, where they had
been enjoying such viands as these.
and their dialogue was making the
very best Of an impression on the
crowded house. Then In came that
maid servant with the wabbliest sort
Of candelabrum. The scene was SO
engrossing that she was scarcely no
ticed. but when she sat down her bur
den between the loverr and one Of
the candles toppled out and put the
Ice cream In BLACKWELL. the strain
was broken. The entire audience burst
into laughter and the curtain had to
be rung down."-Harper's Weekly.

SQUARE JAW 10 AMERICAN.
Type OF Man Who Makes His Way In

In commenting on the British Med

American Of to-day presents firm.
square Jaw. broad brow and clear.
keen eye. which together usually rem
der the recognition Of his nationality
. matter Of no great difficulty" a New
York editorial writer says:
From these features we single out
the square jaw as the American fea-
ture. The American nose Is not much
to brag on, and If the American fore
head is unusually high. that is case
Tor the hair specialist, not the phre-
nologist But no other race Of men
have such jaws as the American. II
anything, they may be little over
done. There Is too much bone. The
chin Is long, square, overassertiye. 1t

the classic countenance, Some Of us
are inclined to the prognathous 1t

burg has cousins among us. But all
In all, 1t is good fault. Thank
heaven, we are not a sheep-faced
folk.
1.-THE history of this people Is re-
corded in their jaws, not in their
noses Their individualistic iutting
chins tell that they have had to make
their way and have inherited nothing
but the disposition to do it. The

penalties Of being born with silver

COURT DECIDED
IN HIS FAVOR
Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which
Has Made a Fortune.

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent. of all Ill health Of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble. Is fast winning a national
faith in his theory. His claim is now
admitted by a surprising number Of
people throughout the country, and he
is gaining new adherents every day
While speaking of his success in O
recent interview, Mr.. Cooper said: 81
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce q formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom-
ach would have fortune. When I
got hold of this formula I knew with
in six months that | was right, and
that my fortune was made. I called
the medicine Cooper's New Discovery,
although l did not get up the formula.
I have owned 1t, however, for over
three years. I have had one lawsuit
over it, which I won In the courts.
When 1t was settled The Cooper Medi-
cine Company became the only firm in
the world that can prepare the medi-
cine. The preparation has sold like
wildfire wherever introduced As I
have said before, ii is successful SIM
ply because it puts the stomach in
perfect shape, then nature does the
rest. There are any number Of com.
plants never before associated with
stomach trouble that the medicine has
alleviated in thousands Of cases."

THURSDAY, NOV. q, 1907

The famous fight over the Incubat
or baby has now reached the United

such fuss over an incubator baby.
The plain old fashioned baby is good
enough and mighty cheap. Here
these people have been fighting for
four years over baby, and up to tie
present time have not even succeeded
in proving whether its mother is an
Illinois woman, a Kansas woman, or
q st. Louis incubator
