NOW there Is a question as to whether
IL Is absolutely necessary to have such
gruesome institution In the city as
the morgue. and whether instead of
only removing IL, II cannot be done
away with altogether.
The statistics just issued show that
under the present conditions the
morgue Is absolutely a necessity In the
city. 1t is stated that during the year
1905. 1,166 bodies were taken to the
morgue. Amongst them were Ala per-
sons who had come to violent deaths,
$50 of whom were men and 123 of whom
were women.
IL the mofgue is abolished altogether,
what will the authorities do with these
bodies? To take them to the nearest
police station would not prove nearly
as convenient as to take them to such
place as the morgue.

interest TO particular individuals.
The association has spared no pains
or expense TO provide for its patrons
amusement of high classes. The great
Demarest Equestrienne Show is es-
pecially worthy of notice. 1t gives
a free exhibition on the track every
day and is fully equal in point of
merit To many shows which tour the
country and charge admission prices
equal TO the price of admission TO the
fair grounds. This show has MANY of
the finest and best bred horses in the
country and its riders are unsurpass-
ed.
ALREADY the indications are that
the attendance at Tazewell Fair this
year will be far greater than ever be-
fore, and this can mean but one
thing-that the people at large are
taking vital and substantial interest
In 1t. Those who are interested in the
development of the country and the
advertisement of its resources are Civ
ing 1t their best assistance, while
those who are simply ION pleasure
bent will find ample amusement
and will spend three delightful
days.

important Event i'll The
COunty'S His tory

The Tazewell Fair has become an
important annual event in this Sec
tion of the country The ID eopIe with
In reach have become act :ustomed to
looking forward to it as AN occasion
both of profit and pleasure
Many years ago the Association
that then had charge of 1he grounds
expended great deal of money and
became financially Involved, and for
some Years no exhibition was held ::
however, some four or FIVE years age,
another COMPANY was formed.
the property of the old CO pmany was
purchased, and the exhflI itions since
then have been constantly growing i'm
interest and importance. Reports this
year indicate that the exhibition ON
September the 18th, 18th and 2Oth
will be the very best ever seen in
Tazewell couny. This is saving a
good deal. Many of the very best and
fastest horses on the track east of the
Mississippi have already been enter
ed, and several entries have been
made from points further west, even
as far ss California. The explanation
of the Association's ability to show
such fast class of horses is found i'm
the fact that TazewelI, Radford.
Galax, Roanoke, and Lynchburg have
formed circuit and have so arranged
their dates that string of horsesmay
De shown and raced at ca ,h one of
these different Fairs. In addition to
this, the dates for this circuit are so
arranged that they fit in with the
Carolina circuit. This enables horse
men TO race on great many different
tracks at minimum expense. and
enables the Association at the smaller
places to have the same class of
horses as those exhibited at the larger
places. The horse show and speed
contests are not the only attractions
which Tazewell offers. The live stock
and poultry exhibits are especially
worthy of notice, but there are many
other departments which Wall be o

day evening of last week Bob Taylor
lectured in Norton, under the auspices
of some club or society of the Metho-
dist church, and a great crowd he had.
His subject was "Castles im the
Air. " For two hours the audience.
laughed, cried and cheered. To at
tempt a description or report of this
wonderful address would be presump-
tious and foolish. 1t is enough To saw
that the audience of seven hundred
people were sorry when he finished.

heard 10 say, Bob has 'em all SKIM
ed, and that's about the truth.
One feature of the evenings enter

Suthers, in presenting Mr.. Taylor.
Tom was selected by the committee
TO perform this pleasant, if difficult,
task, and right well he did il, i'm n

by the audience, and highly compli-
mented by Mr.. Taylor

should. That's what you want isn't
