PLEASE UNDERSTAND

1t has been insinuated that this
sent Board of Supervisors of this
county on political grounds. There
is are number of people who see
party politics in every thing they
look at. They are mOnO-maniacs on
the subject OF politics. They are par
tisan in everything-social, educa-
tiOnai, commercial and even reli-
gious. They give no one credit for
sincerity and honestybut themselves.
Now, we want TO say, once for all,
that so far rs the present Board of
Supervisors is concerned this paper
has only the highest regard and re-
spect for each OF them as intelligent,
honest citizens. We give them honor
as upright men. AS public citizens
and officers OF the county they are
liable TO criticism, as are all public
servants.
This paper IL i'm favor of the best
men always and all the time for
every office, particularly one Of such
importance IA that OF Supervisors.
and if we think some other men
would fiji the office better and more
acceptable We would be untrue 10 the
interests of the readers of this paper
if we said otherwise. There is no
politics-no personal feeling what
ever in single line we have ever
written on the subject. If the people
want the present Board they should
have them. Advocating mass-meet-
ing 10 nominate candidates is not
necessarily opposition TO all or any
member OF the present Board. The
Republicans have been given The pre-
ference so far aS amy preference has
been expressed, in every suggestion
made bythis paper, and any man
who charges that We are partisan i'm
the matter, is not only doing Us an
injustice, but is giving credence To
that which is not true.

THE ABDICATIONs OF THE
THRONE OF COREA

The government of Corea has been
that Of an absolute monarchy almsot
from time immemorial, Still the
custom OF requesting the Emperor To
abdicate when deemed best 10y the
Cabinet, has also. existed for many
years. When deemed best for the good
of the people for change i'm rulers
the custom Is for the Cabinet TO meet
and lay the matter before his Majesty
and request his resignation, ana lhe
Emperor is morally bound to com
ply.
The recent troubles there, which
have resulted in abdication, grew out
of the action of the Corean govern

In Memory of Mrs. Chapman
(BY Renuestl


We, the members of the Aid and
MisslonarySOciety, OF the Tazewell
Presbyterian church, desire TO put
upon record tribute To the memory
of our beloved sister and friend, Mrs.
Lavlette Chapman, who, on May u,
1907, entered into rest.
We, who worked with her with n
common aim, the extension OF
Christ's Kingdom, would bear testi-
mOny TO her faithful and efficient ser
vice. She used, i'm the service of
God, the indomitsble energy and
courage with when she was endow-
eel. She, though i'm latter years en-
numbered by n delicate constitution,
devoted her small strength TO the
glory of God. In every good work
whether undertaken for a material or
spiritual benefit she was active and
constant.
We, who learned from her sweet
lessons Of heroic endurance, marye-
lous patience and resignation toGod 5
Will, and wonderful faith would
bear witness TO the grace of God as
manifested in the life OF this sanity
little woman. Her life was without
reproach- of the highest, purest chris
tian type. She was distinguished by
the careful tTuthfulness of every
word, the thorough honesty of every
act, the scrupulous fidelity TO every
obligation. She was the imperSona-
ton of womanly mOdesty and tender
ness and gentleness. She possessed
"A rare sprightliness and vivacity
which attracted TO her all classes and
conditions, and whom she conscious
~ and unconsciOuSly influenced to
higher aims aud nobler endeavors.
But while We Hdmi red her zeal, hel
patience, her humility and the many
beauties and virtues of her con
secrated life, we admired (more than
all these her simple child like faith.
1t shOne forth with such briliiancy
that we were sometimes 'awed By the
sight God tried her as he did Abra.
ham of old, and I'm that sunreml
moment her fath failed not. Give
me now thy son-thy only child. .
Brave and strong came the answer
1--WE gave him TO God long ago OF
our knees, He is but coming To-
his own But il rent her very hear
strings. After that she waited fo
hcr release rs one. watcheth for TN,
morning.
ITO live i'm hearts left behind is no
to die,
80 that dear life now seen no NOR,
on earth,
still blossoms and bears fruit, ha,
given birth,
TO purpose holy, memories pure anc
high.
AN influence sweet and strong. thai
cannot die.

UNTRUE AND MISLEADING

Speaking of the fortunes of those
who have been married nj his mecca.
Parson BOrrOughS said So far as
am able TO trace the young people
married at my mecca as the result of
elopements, have been i'm the main
happy and successful. \ larger per
cent OF my marriages have proven
successful than is the case among the
same number who have been marri-
ed with the consent OF the parents.
You know when two Young peo-
pie resolve TO elope and be married.
they are inspired by natural love.
This is not always true OF those who
marry with the consent of their par
ents. II is TOO often the case that
daughter marrys 10 suit papa and
mamma more than herself. and
when this is the case, the marriage
is not likely TO be happy one. But
where young people, with their heats
Rflre with mutual love, set out TO
be married in spite Of opposition.
they are likely TO stick together so
long as they both shall live.
SO far as | have been able To

couples have married, have turned

statement purportng TO have been

forming marriage ceremonies for par

The point in the statement is that

The parents or guardians give their

not only false, but the influence of
such teaching is bad all the yyav
