Observation-Disclosures
Storm OH the Clinch.

A terrific storm is reported from
down the Clinch Vally. Passengers
on Noe :, which reached Bluefield
last evening about one hour late, de-
clarell that rain and hail poured
down with such fury that the train
could scarcely proceed, the engineer
being unable 10 see the track hun
dred feet ahead, and the wind was SO
violent that trees were uprooted. AT
one place, just as the train was
rounding n curve, n huge tree had
been blown acros the track and the
tarin was almost upon il before the
engineer saw the obstruction. The
sudden application of the emergency
brake threw the passenger from their
seats, but no one was hurt and no
damage done. After the tree had been
chopped away, the train only proceed
Ell few miles when huge boulder
on the track prevented further prog
ress. 1t was much too large TO be
moved by the train crew, and it was
found necessary TO summon some sec
ton men, who drilled holes in the
rock, and filled them with dynamite
and blasted il into small bits The
tail end of the storm reached Blue
field about ii o'clock last night and
the downpour for few minutes was
almost equal to n cloudburst. Hail
stones the size of small marbles also
fell.

Tragedy as Peculiar
as it was Shocking
TBlueneld Telegraph.

One Of the tragedies that resulted
from Monday nights storm was as
peculiar rs IL was shocking. The home
OF IL, |. Hoke, a we'll known farmer
living about q mile and half west of
Princeton was the center OF the most
violent electrical disturbance. Near a
window OF one OF the rooms was IA bed
i'm which his three young sons were
asleep. Some time near the middle OF
the night the two youngest boys were
violently awakened, but the older son.
lad OF eight years, was seemingly,
not disturbed. The cause OF his inert
ness, was however, soon apparent: he
had been struck 10y tightening. A
physician was hastily summonsed aud
worked heroIcly TO save the little fel-
lows life but TO no purpose. Three
hours after receiving the stroke, the
child breathed his last. The physician
later announced that the boys liver
had been entirely burned up. Neither
OF his brothers were injured at all, nor
did the house catch fire.

Harden Sent TO Grand jury.

Harden Carter, the man who is i'm
Jail here charged with Illicit dstiII-
ing, was given n preliminary hearing
before Commissioner Gillespie nj
Richlands last Saturday. Carter came
near escaping from the Richlands
Jail, where he had been put TO await
the arrival of the train. u. S. Deputy
Marshall Harri sson had the man i'm
charge, and rather than keep vigil
over him until the train came. put
him in the Richlands "lock-up. "
When he went To the Jail for him.
just few minutes before the train
was due, he found that Carter had al
most torn down the door, and would
have effected his escape in n few
minutes.
Evidence was produced at the trial
that will convict the man Carter OF
"monshining, "as witnesses were pre-
sent who had seen him making the
mountain dew
Officer Harrison said that the beer
spoken ofsinthe lastissue Of he News,
that was destroyed when Carter was
captured, was more in the shape OF
mush than anything else. 1t seems
that great deal of corn meal is used
in the making of wild cat' beer
in factt the bulk of the ingredients is
meal. Several kegs of hop was also
found and destroyed.

The jamestown
Exposition

The editor has just returned from
jamestown, and fort he benefit of the
readers of his paper who may wish
TO attend, as everybody ought TO who
possibly can, a few observations are
put down here. And first, and with
emphasis, the Exposition has been
greatly misrepresented, and even
slandered, by the ignorant or preju-
diced, in more respects than one. It's
incompleteness, hotel rates, cost of
living, etc., have been greatly mis-
represented. The exposition, as awhole
is unfinished, but much of IL is fin
isheu, and in fine shape. The EXpoSi-
tion as a whole is, perhaps as nearly
completed, as was either Chicago or
st. Louis, at the opening of these great
fairs, and but for the tardiness and
unnecessary and inexcusable delay on
the part of the national Government
in making the appropriation, the
jamestown Exposition would have
been finished at the time of the OPP
ening. However, everything will be
world will have an opportunity of
looking upon one of the most unique
and beautiful EXpositions ever held
in this country. A vi sitor TO the EX-
position is impressed with the great
amount of work which has already
been done. The number, size and
character of the buildings on the
grounds, as we'll rs their architec-
tural beauty is wonderful. The build
ings are not temporary structers, as
were most Of those at ST. Louis and
Chicago, but built solidly of brick
and stone, and will remain through
the years as worthy memorials of Il
great historic event. AS TO the eXhib-
It's, there are more than enough there
now to employ an industrious, intel
iigent sight seer for a week or more.
Many of them are fine-some of them
(TaZewell not included) are elaborate
and beautiful. Apart from the Ex-
position itself, there is much TO enjoy
particularly by those who have never
seen warhips, or the ocean-all Of
which every body should see. AS TO
hotel bills, cost of living, ETC., this
can be made much or little accord
ing To the taste, habits and purse of
the visitor. Living is rs cheap at
Jamest town as in Tazewell or Blue
field, or any other town, and as To
something's, cheaper. Ham and eggs
%; nice coffee sc per cup; sandwiches
8 and 10c; nice steak from Doc to
S1.25; shoe shine 8 and 1Oc; barber
shops 10 and 15c. Lodginng soc and
up. Rate at the large hotels from
So TO So per day. Good board can be
had in Newport News and Norfolk
as cheap now rs heretofore. Many
visitors spend the night in these near
by towns. So, all the reports about
costly living, robbery, ETC., at the
Exposition are false. However be
sure 10 take more money with you
than you think you will need. If you
wish TO do SO you can spend il.

Court in Session.

The chief feature of court proceed
ings this week is the trial OF young

TOWN OFFICERS
ELECTED TUESDAY
TaZewell and North TaZe-
we'll Select COunCilnen,
Mayor and Recorder.

The election of town officers for
the town of Tazewell was held Tues
day and only about half tie regis
tered votes of the town were polled.
This was due TO the fact that only
one ticket-the citizens ticket-was
nominated, consequently there was
no opposition. 1t developed during
the day, however, that few dis
gruntled ciizens were planning TO de-
feat one of the candidates agreed up
on by the citizens, but their move
met with little favor, only acting
as boomerang, in so far rs it induc-
ed some TO vote, who would not have
done so otherwise.
L seems impossible TO eliminate
politics entirely from our town elec-
ton, and the breaking OF agreements
of this kind Will make the eliminas.
tion of politics more the harder in
future elections.

and the vote of each. The total vote
cast was 80.

It is doubtful if there is any kind Of

rior or the fruit may revert back to

be grated when I year old. The nuts
are usually placed in the ground in
rows, 6 inches deep, early in the spring
or late in the fall, killing over them if
in the fall, and uncovering in the
spring. They are very unreliable in
terminating and prefer a sandy loan.
The European varieties are larger than

COmpOsttiOn of Crops.

A bulletin Of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station discusses the composition
and characteristics of the more common
farm crops, as alfalfa, clover, peas,
rape, corn fodder, timothy, millet, etc.
In connection with the composition
Of some of the crops the protein con-
tent of the seed is considered. In the
case of clover, alfalfa, peas, beans and
rape two distinct types of seed are
shown to recur, one of high and the
other of low protein content, and the
relationship Of the physical character
istics of the seeds to the chemical com
posti is noted. The larger protein
content Of the seed is considered as
possible factor in the production Of for
age crops of high nutritive value. The
quality Of the forage in livestock feed
ing Is of great Importance, because by
the use of more concentrated nitrOge-
nous forage rations can be prepared
requiring smaller amounts of grains
and milled products. The result is u

Shredded Slower.

For winter feeding of stock animals
this makes one of the finest feeds on
the farm. The modern husking and
shredding machinery does excellent
work, and its man-eating proclivities
have been largely eliminated. An or
binary threshing machine can be made
to do good shredding, but the grain is
not left in the best condition. The
greatest drawback in the use Of both
huSker and thresher is that they re-
quire a large force of men and teams,
hence the work is quite expensive.
Perhaps the cheapest corn husking is
done with the little old huSking peg.
But it Is almost impossible to feed long
slower without considerable waste, and
the refuse stalks are nuisance when
it comes to handling the manure. These
difficulties may be overcome by running
the handhusked stOver through COM
mon cutter and shredder. This work
can usually be done without employing
much, if any outside help. In case ev-
erything is hired the cost of the work,
ting of the corn and stover in crib and
NOV or stack may equal or even exceed
the expense of machine husking and
shredding. This is q point for each to
decide from his own standpoint.-Agri-

"Dulce ct decorum est pro patria mort"
The hot sky would split with the uproar
That day when they fought;
This rest in the stiffness and shadow
Gives time for long thought;
He must think of one strange revelation,
One thrilling surprise
1t is better to think with cool darkness
Laid over your eyes.
Time enough for deep thought while the
branches
With winter are dumb:
When the great sun swings far to the
northward
And summer has come;
He lies hushed with the wonderful knowl-
edge
He holds in his breast
And the bright flag droops always above
To honor his rest.

violent
Tinging with life,
Charmed once by the call of the drums
And the sound of the fife

And knew they must die,
Where was comfort for him, where was
help
Beneath the hot sky?
All the life beating strong in his body
Revolted, out-cried
Against dying; no courage or passion
But only his pride
Sent him on with the others, despairing
And hating it all,
And faint with sick horror at seeing them
Stumble and fall
Far out on the crest of the battle,
Up, up toward the death
ITO die for ones country is sweet p'-
he remembered,
And then, out of breath,
Met the shock and the pain and the terror
Unf1inching and knew
In one instants unbearable brightness

A careful observer Of poultry needs
no better sign of its condition than to
watch the comb. A bright red comb
shows that the hen or male is healthy
and vigorous, and if hen, she will
probably be a good layer. After the
egg supply has failed the comb will
generally lose its color. In cold wealth
err fowls with large combs must have
extra warm quarters as they are very
easily frozen. 1t is frozen combs more
often than anything else that makes
Leghorns and Minorcas poor winter
layers. AS their names imply, they are
natives Of warm climates, as, indeed,
most fowls are. They very rarely get
into as warm quarters in winter as
they could find anywhere in the coun-
tries where they had their original
home.

Stumble Fields.

Fields that are left to stubble, or
that are covered with weeds, cannot
now be benefited by cultivation, where
the seeds of the weeds have already
been scattered, but as soon as the frost
does its work and the weeds are dry,
rake over the fields with a horse rake
and burn all the refuse. Dead weeds
form harboring places for field mice
and insects, and during windy days,
after the weeds are thoroughly dry,
they are blown TO other fields. BY
burning all refuse, there Will be fewer
weed seeds turned under next spring

All growers of bIackberries and rasp-
berries know that one of the most dis
agreeable jobs of the season is the cut
ting out of the old canes on the plants
of these fields. The easiest way of do
ing this work is to use a sharp tool of
some kind so arranged that the operat-
or may stand upright and work. The
tool illustrated may be readily made by
any handy man, and will do the work
required quite as effectually as more
expensive tool.
Take the handle from a worn-Out
shovel or fork and have the black
smith attach to it the end of an old
scythe blade or, if one has no blade of
this kind, the blacksmith can fashion
one from old scraps that he may have
at small expense. Have this blade fas-

tened to the handle in the manner
shown in the cut, and when working
among the canes of the berry bushes
use it in the way illustrated.
This tool will be found extremely
handy for this sort of pruning any
where on the farm. 1t will work quite
well for cutting out suckers in the or
chard as in the berry row. If the canes
are quite tall straight handle may be
attached to the blade SO that one may
have it of any desired length. Such
tool costs but little, and If one has a
considerable area in berry plants it
will pay to have several tools made.

RoDes and Lime for Poultry.

Nearly all kinds of food contain lime.
OYSTER shells, clam Shells marble lime
stone and chalk are of the same COM
position Carbonate Of lime), bones
being phosphate Of lime. Fowls utilize
oyster shells and other forms Of lime
largely as grit, while fresh bone from
the butcher is an excellent food, pro-
yiding both lime and nitrogen. AS
green bone cannot be ground, owing to
its tough condition, it must be cut with
a bone cutter When bones are dry
they may then be ground and can be
used at all seasons.
