 The zoo is going to prove one of the most attractive things at the park for the children. A large house of cages, built in tn shape of semi-circle, has been com pleted and in the cages already is an interesting assortment of ami mals. Ten monkeys, eight ring tail, two ratusus and two Brazilian marmozettes, have been received at the park and yesterday several hundred children who quickly learned of their presence there, were on hand and for several hours were entertained with the funny monkey shines" of the little monks" The two Brazilian mar mozettes are rare specimens of the monkey family and will nat urally cause much attention from park visitors this summer.

 Summer Recreation Spot When

Forest park, with it's thousands of electric lights, well-flled zoo, summer amusement theater, and various outdoor attractions, will be thrown open to the public within the next two weeks. A force of men have been at work there for the past two weeks remodeling the park proper and beautifying the grounds.
 A Graphic representative visited the park yesterday and was sur prised to see the great amount of improvement work that has been done in the past few days. The park has outdone itself. Electric arches over promenade walks are in every direction over the grounds, many benches have been distributed about the park under big shade trees, the buildings have been remodeled and painted and everything has been arranged to make it convenient and comforta ble for persons who love the real country life and outdoor recrea- tion.
 Several amusement devices have been installed on the grounds. One of them is mammoth flying jenny which was purchased by the Park Amusement company at a large expense and which is one of the most attractive of it's kind ever seen here. It will be operated by electricity. The large circline wave was received yesterday at the park from the Eastern manu' facturer and is being rapidly put

HOMICIDE AT
N. TAZEWELL
Willie Reese Whitley Vic
tim of Howard Har-
mans Pistol.

Last Friday about ID o'clock, How
ard Harman, son of X. ID. r. Harman,
one Of the leading merchants Of North
Tazewell, shot, and fatally wounded,
Willie Reese Whitley, aged about Is
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Reese
Whitley, we'll known people, who live
near North Tazewell. The wounded
boyswas taken at once to the hospital
In Bluefield, where an operation was
performed. He died on Saturday
afternoon. The remains were brought
TO North Tazewell and the interment
took place on Sunday afternoon, in the
Peery burial ground in the presence of
great concourse IF people. The last
sad rites were conducted by Rev. Mr..
Rector, and it was universally agreed
that no sadder funeral had ever
occurred in that community.
There are, of course, conflicting
statements Of the details OF the shoot
ing. Mr.. Robert II. Ireson, a merchant
in whose store the shooting occurred,
had gone to dinner, leaving his son,
Willie, young man Is years old, in
charge. Young Willie Reese Whitley
was also in the store when Howard
Harman came in, according Co one
statement, and struck Willie Whitley
on the head with his pistol-with his
hand-according to another statement,
and Whitley protested and started to
walk away, when Hartman pointed bis
gun and fired. Another statement is
that the shooting was entirely acciden-
tai, and that Harman, who was under
the influence Of liquor did not
really know what he was doing.
So, there are various reports, and
the exact facts will be known only
perhaps when the case comes to trial.
Young Harman is in Jail, and counsel
has been employed by both sides.
The sad affair is deeply regretted by
all parties concerned. The two families,
upon whom such a heavy blow has
fallen, have been neighbors and friends
for years, and they, as well as a large
family connection on both sides, in the
county are overwhelmed with grief.
Will the warming and sad and costly
lesson taught by this dreadful occur
renee be needed by the young men of
the community?
