The Big Ships at Jamestown.

war vessels are anchored from the
shore. and the possibility of visitors
being unable to get goodslook at them
has elected the information that the
ships are anchored about miles from
shore-too far to permit of anything
ike satisfactory view by visitors.
However, it Is stated by those who
have been there, that there are several
lines OF boats from Norfolk which pass
very near the big ships on their way
to the Exposition, affording a splendid
view. Also, visitors are taken from
the grounds ia small boats, out TO the
ships, for fifty cents. and for another

'' The TaZeWeII
County Fair !"

The Tazcwell County Fair given
last Monday night In the Town Hall
was decided success in every par
uculnr The Hall was filed, the players
were at their best, tho program elabo-
rate and lively, and executed without
n break. The music was very enjoy
able. Miss Charlotte Henry presided
at the piano, and was accompanied by
Mr.. w. III. Anderson, on the violin.
Comparisons are od.ous OF course.
However. the statement is ventuIed
that special hits were mnde by j. b.
Boyer as Parson Briggs, DR.. st. Clair, as
Uncle Jake Spruceby, Nj. S. Pendleton,
as Boss Jones, who was In charge OF
the Fair, and Mr.. Russell, the fakir, as
Prof. Sparatti.
The clog dancing OF Messrs Mitchell
and Howell, was "A special feature.
These " black-faced comedians" gave
u very creditable act. Their appearance
was pleasing surprise as the act was
not down on the programme.
Little HARRISON Harman, the little
son Of Mr.. j. i. Harman, astonished
the audience as the GariIla dancer.
Mention should be made specially Of
the performances OF Miss Mamie Moss,
as Aunt Mary Spruceby, and Miss
May Hankins, Widow Smithers. These
" old ladies were fine. If Father Time
deals with them as tendeIly and kindly
as appeared on this occasion they will
have little cause for regret.
Miss Mary Kelly, as bride, was
very pleasing, and did her part well.
The Beauty Chorus, Misses Jean
Graham, Ellie Bowen, Mamie Alexan-
der, Jessie GIoseclose, Ethel Jeter
Meta Peery, Nanola Gillespie and Lucy
Stuart, looked very pretty, and were
loudly applauded.
| Miss Lillian Saunders, the well known

Editor ot the News:
1t is pleasure 10 read the CIlNcH

and point. Every local has something
of interest attached, not merely stat
ing that JOHN Smith came To- town but
If possible. getting from Mr.. Smith
some fact of interest. The News Editor
seems to have way OF getting around
folks, and finding out what they know.
There are some interesting suggestions
In the News, for instance, In lasl weeks
issue, that vehicles be secured for the
Veterans at Richmond.
This writer witnessed the parade IN
Louisville some years ago, stopping at
the home Of a former Virginian, with
General Wharton and others. When
General Wharton came out of that
four hours mAIch he looked as il he
had been dipped In the Ohio river. /
mildly rcproved him for the over ex-
ertion, and remember his reply: "If |
am, or ever was anything II a soldier,
the private made me all that 1 am. /
expect to march with them 30 long as
l have strength TO hold out" II is
said that Gen. Wharton never got
over the effects OF that hard march. Ii
was his last. Col. Salyer, OF Wise
marched with his beloved Commander,
Wharton, who said of him that day, as
Napoleon said OF Ney, "Salycr was the
bravest of the brave" Col. Salyer
lives at Whitesburg, KY. hale and
hearty at an advanced age, enjoying IA
fine law practice, but bearing In his
body the scars OF many bayonets and
minnie balls. Sprole Lyons and 1 con
tributed something TO the yelling that
day. There were lots OF folks, you
know, In Louisville, who didn't appre-
ciate our yell, but we yelled the longer
and louder.
What Il pity that the pensions OF
some cannot be increased just little.
Only yesterday talked TO an old Con-
federate at the Norton depot. lie was

all perished away. "I'm poor man >,
he said, " get Sl5 year as pen
sion" i found out afterwards that he
was as true as steel. Surely every
fair minded citizen appreciates the
efforts OF the News TO publish now and
then something that will keep green
the memory, the imperishable deeds
and daring OF Southern chivalry. Col.
Lake is ii highly interesting cpntribu-
tor.
Now, as TO the Governorship, that

next
A good many folks down this way
seem to think they have discovered Il
new kind Of Ex-Ray" But the
wisest and best of men may err, " and
erring needs repentance. Honest
error is sometimes the greatest teacher
and when the mists have cleared away
may shine more and more to the
brighter day.
"Out OF the darkness future brightness
Is born,
And after the night comes the sunrise
OF morn.
Give us as good Fair as you did

TRAINING DOGS.
POodIss me Easiesa 70 Teach, DaeA.-
hundn the Most Dfmrait.


A poodle Is the easiest OF all 10 train.
and the dachshund Is the most dlficult,
the latter not because he Is too stupid,
but because he Is too smart. A daehs-
hund readily understands what you
want him to do. and he can do It, but
he thinks be knows a better way, and
he invariably tries his way first. As
result he Is never trained in any
thing that Is really difficult A dachs-
hund seems to be always poking fun
at one and getting no little amusement
out Of 1t for himself. Coilies are easily
trained, but they are more or less un-
reliable, and they are such fatterers.
They make you think things are all
right and then they run away at the
very first opportunity. In preference
to other dogs. collles are trained al
most exclusively In the militia OF VI
emma for carrying. in time OF war, mes
sages and medicine to and from the
camp and the sick soldiers, but they
are chosen more for their speed than
their .falthfulness. Fox terriers are
natural acrobats. Within a few weeks
one can be trained TO turn somer-
sault. A few weeks more and he will
do double turn. To teach him to do
this the trainer calls the animal to him,
and as he comes jumping playfully
against the trainer he is caught and
turned quickly in the air, much 10 his
surprise, He thinks 1t is play. and he
comes Jumping up again. After each
turn he IS given small piece of meat.
Ina few weeks he viii run up and try
independently to do the turn over in
the air for the meat. and If he is en-
couragek 1t will not be long before he
is an accomplished acrobat.-Leslle's

The Art a, Fla,,.rx,

There are those who have an instinct
which prompts them to ofrer verbal ca
resses to all with whom they come in
contact. and there is no doubt that, IL
such people are gifted at the same time
with good hearts, they greatly sweeten
life. They do not know how to say,
much less write, a disagreeable SEN
tence. They see with their minds eye
the exact spot where fiattering word
would produce pleasure or salve a
smart, and the temptation to say 1t is
very great The pleasure they produce
delights them. and they study to pro-
duce it again. No doubt they practice
an art, but not very black art, and 1t
is difficult not to like them, especially
IL they are women. Real fiattery-the
