Blue SuIphur's Answer to Cedar Bluff

In the Tazewell Republican and Clinch
valley News is found an article headed:
Cedar Bluffs Reply to Blue Sulphur. d"
Why the writer calls it an answer do
not understand, in as much as it does
not answer single word in the article.
Besides, Blue Sulphur had nothing to
Go with it. The editor of the Pocahon-
tas Headlight was at Blue Sulphur
Inn for rest and the use of the water at
that place. Seeing the condition Of
things about Blue Sulphur and Cedar
Bluff, it was his pleasure to write up
the Annals of the country around, which
ne did by giving the exact facts in the
case as we know them; and the only OBJ
lection the writer could give to the ar
ticle in the Headlight is that the edi-
tor did give the facts in the case.
The writer says that the Cedar Bluff
postofiice is one-fourth of a mile from
Blue Sulphur, when he well knows it is
more than one-half mile. Whv he
should try to make the impression that
1t is only oae-fourth of a mile. l am at
loss to understand, unless he wants to
create the belief that Blue Sulphur is
trying to do away with the Cedar Bluff
postoffice, which impression has been
falsely made heretofore. He further
says that until recently he has not heard
of any objection to the location of the
Cedar Bluff Office, and that he does not
hnQr- Of oh Al.
ton. But you can hear all over the
country, except at the Mouth of Indian.
substantial objection to the office at
Indian still using the name Cedar
Bluff. y The place where Cedar Bluff
Office IS now located was always called
Indian, " and is better known TODAY as
Indian than as Cedar Bluff. The place
where the Blue Sulphur office is located
Is and has always been called Cedar
Bluff The opposition to placing the
name Cedar Bluff" back at its proper
location is nothing short of selfshness.
The postmaster at Cedar Bluff, or rather
Indian, seems to think that the Depart.
ment should not establish anv new
offices near his, until his is made a pay
ing office. But the P. o. Inspector
took more liberal view of the situa-
ton, and said that the office at the sta
ton was, evidently, good for the people
generally. Mr.. Cecil cannot see that
side of the question.
Suppose we admit it is only one-fourth
of mile from one office to the other.
If that be true, why does the Depart
ment pay $3.50 per year to have the
mail carried four times day from the
station to Cedar Bluff or Indian, when
the K. F. D. route which starts from
Cedar Bluff or Indian could start from
the Office at the station and deliver the
mail once a day to the Indian Office.
This service would be sufficient as
neither of the Offices receive much mail
from the eastbound trains, nearly all
our mail coming from the East.

spared and the premiums raised so as
to bring the finest cattle here that ever
were shown. The Premiums and Purses

and Board Spent Some of II.

Richmond. Va, Aug. 1.-THE report
of the legislative auditing committee
was submitted to Governor Swanson to-
day. 1t covers eighty typewritten
pages and deals with every department
of the states accounts. The system in
vogue is severely condemned and the
committee recommends that the office
of second auditor should be made a bu-
reau of the first auditor. The depart
ment of agriculture is severely arraign-
ed and while no defalcation is found the
report says that warrants for money
have been drawn by G. w. Koiner and
that the vouchers do not show for what
purpose money was expended. The
members of the board are also found to
have followed the same practices, ex-
pending money and not having the prop
er vouchers,

Growing Prospects for a Big Fair.

The fair this year promises to be the
best we have ever had. The exhibition
of horses will be superb. The very best
horses on the track in the neighboring
states will be here. Eight states will
be represented in the stake races alone.
The other exhibits will be better than
ever before. Our people are giving
more attention each year to the small
products of the farm. We are so near
the coal fields that the county gets more
money today from '1ittle things" than
from export cattle. Every man who
raises any farm products ought to have
them on exhibition at the fair-and
many of them will be.
The amusements offered, in addition
to the races, are all clean and high
class. The great nemorest show is
worth the price of admission, and it is
free every day.
After 1.-THE harvest is past" it is al.
ways we'll to rest a little and get ir
touch, for awhile, with our neighbors
The fair gives the best possible oppor.

chase by squad of soldiers who were
attracted by the screams of the cap
tain's wife, The woman accused Hill
of having insulted her.
While target shooting Hills finger
caught in the gunlock and was lacera-
ted. He was taken off the field and re-
storatives hunted. The nearest place
of aid was the house in which Captain
Clinnon and his wife live during the
summer. Mrs. Clinnon was sympathe-
tic and washed and dressed the soldiers

Clinnon that Hill kissed her and began
to force his attentions on her.

thought she was the hired girl. didn't
know it was the captains wife,"
AT the last moment the court-martial
was called off and Private Hill was for
given and released from the camp dun

bestowed upon the pretty young wife
of the range captain was not kiss OF
affection, but one of gratitude.
Eyes, I've forgiven him." said Mrs.
Clinnon. 81 do not believe the mar
meant any HARM"
