Something Doing
in Railroad Circles

The railroad question In the county
Is assuming larger proportions than
any one contemplated when the ques-
ton OF line from Tazewell TO Burke's
Garden was first proposed. There has
been new developments recently.
Ii will be recalled that large lum-
Der firm OF Shamokin, Pa, bought last
year the timber, chiefly Spruce, in what
is known as Beartown. amounting to
perhaps % million feet. This timber
must be gotten 20 the railroad. The
Quigley Furniture Company have large
holdings In the same locality. They.
too, must come out, or go out, some
where. Burke's Garden, not far from
these two large operations, wants out
also. The representatives OF these
several localities were In conference on
Tuesday. Messrs Barry and Kersly.

with Mr.. Warner, representing the
Quigley interests, and together they
will look over the ground Later, they
will confer with the Burke's Garden
Railroad Committee. which meets to-
morrow, 70 discuss the question gener.
ally. Mr.. Schubert, representing the
n. & w. was also In conference with
these lumber people on Tuesday.
Three plans are being discussed.
One, to go out Of Beartown and Poor
Valley through Burke's Garden.
through Crabtrees Gap, uniting with
the Burke's Garden people in building
the road. Another, to come over the
mountain, as did John Adams, using
his old tram road, then building a road
to Burke's Garden Switch, with the
large mill located at or nearMr. Martins
or the Switch. Another, still, for the
lumber people to go 10 SaltvilIe-all, or
nearly all theway down hill. Some one OF
these plans will be adopted and carried
out, eventually. Which one, remains to
be seen. However, there's "somethine
doing,' il only talk But talk Is neces-
sary, and will crystalize sooner or later
into line OF railroad OF some kind in
the not very distant future. In the
meantime, Tazewell should keep her
weather eye open.

Fire Threatens Tcwn--Re-

Interesting News.
Pounding Mill. Va, , Feb. IL.

A very sad death occurred at this
place Friday morning. A man named
Tom Pruett, living near this place on
DR.. Painters land, went to Rlchlands
Thursday, and not having his dinner
with him he went into store and ate
lunch of canned beef and crackers.
He said he felt badly immediately after
eating, and suffered much from thirst.
He came to Pounding Mill and stopped
off TO stay with his brother-in-law, VIM.
RlngstafT, where his wife ahd children
were visiting. He got worse in the
night, and Friday morning became un-
conscious, ,dyingiat . o'clock Drs. Paint
er and Jackson, Tazewell, came down
to hold post mortem examination.
and found he had died from the pois.
oning contained in the canned beef he
had eaten. He leaves a young wife and
two small children. Deceased was a
son OF Arch Pruett, and about 25
years old. We sympathize deeply with
his wife and family.
The meeting begun here Saturday
night, conducted by Revs. Boyd and
Wise, is still going on. Some fine ser.
moIs have been preached.
Mr.. II. q. Williams, formerly OF this
place, now Cashier of First National
Bank of Williamson, w. Va, brought
is wife and baby home to visit for n
'ew weeks. Mr. Williams returned TO
Williamson last Monday. Mrs. Will

The cold weather is hard on young
lambs. G. p. Williams reports IS ON

w. B. Steele, who went to Texas
about ten days ago, to look over the
country with a view TO investing in
real estate, has not returned yet. We
understand he sends back glowing des-
criptions Of the country.
Quite little excitement was raised
over the fire in town yesterday after
noon. 1t caught on the roof Of Mrs.
Moody's house, which house was for
merly occupied by Mrs. Sturgill. 1t
received prompt attention and was
soon extinguished. Had that house
burned, the entire town would have
gone.

S. II. McMullin's fine team of bays

not in first class shape. Buyers were
here from several outside cities and
other states.

Look Out for The Dogs.

She sheepkilling dog is abroad In
the land. Mr.. Cecil Peery's fold was
visited by these midnight mar
anders few nights ago, and IL fine
lambs killed. This Is too bad, and
more than enough to provoke any
man into saying and doing rash things.
Look out for these dogs, and kill them
wherever found. and 70 whomsoever
they belong. They are a nuisance, and
no man OF any reason will object. It's
great pity that every worthless, low
down sheepkillihg dog in the county
could not be caught and killed. Load
your gun, set traps, put out strychnine
and slay every worthless dog that
prowls around either night or day.

The Right to
Investigate

There has been more or less criti-
cism of the officers and authorities
who are holding the two men in jail
here on suspicion OF being able, per-
haps, to throw some light on the mys-
terious death OF the lamented Clerk,
L. l.. George. We are sure that these
criticisms are made either ignorantly
or thoughtlessly. A moments reflection
will convince any reasonably in
telligent man that the authorities are
doing exactly right, and only doing
their duty. What other method could
the officers adopt?
Parties suspected OF crime OF any
grade or degree, must be investigated
and questioned and asked to explain.
There's absolutely no desire on the
part OF any officer or any one connect
ed with the whole affair to do ought
but bring out the facts and the truth.
This,and nothingshort of this,is due the
cause OF truth and justice. The men
suspected are entitled also to full in
vestigation. III innocent they deserve
vindication. For their sakes and their
families sakes a full investigation
should be had, and IL innocent, their
names cleared Of the cloud which rests
upon them. This is the whole and en-
tire object Of this investigation, and il
is entirely proper.
The only thing-the men have a
right to ask and demand a speedy
hearing. There has been delay, but
this delay was caused by the men
themselves, and granted at their re-
quest. Every opportunity will be given
them to clear themselves OF any charge
that may be brought against them.
