Like Finding Money

John u. Jackson the popular drug
gist, is making an offer that Is just like
finding money for he is selling n regu-
lar soc bottle Of DIR. Howard's celebrat-
ed specific for the cure OF constipation
and dyspepsia at half-price. In addition
to this large discount he agrees to Ie-
turn the money to any purchaser whom
the specific does not cure.
1t is qnite unusual TO be able TO buy
fifty cents pieces for a quarter, but
that Is what this offer really means, for
it is only recently, though the solicita-
ton OF druggist Jackson that this
medicine could be bought for less than
fifty cents, he urged the proprietors to
allow him 10 sell it at this reduced
price for little while, agreeing to sell
a certain amount. The result mas justi-
fled his good judgment, for the sale
has been somelhing remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headace,
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach,
specks before the eyes, or any liver
trouble, should take advantage OF this
opportunity, for DR.. Howard's specific
will cure all these troubles. But if by
any chance it should not, Jackson will
return your money.

Is the School Building Safe?

The unsafe and dangerous condition
of one part of the High school build
ins has been the cause of considerable
talk and some uneasiness this week
AS will be recalled, some time ago
IL was noticed that the building wcs
giving away, and considerable ecxite-
ment was caused. Carpenters exam
ined the building, and pronounced it
unsafe. Large rods were placed
through the building, and il was
thought had made il secure, at least
for while. Recently, however, there
are new and unmistakable signs that
the building is gradually giving
away, and considerable uneasiness is
felt. 1t is said that j. II. Heldreth
and A. @. Kiser have examined the
building and pronounced it danger
Gus, and that the authorities will
take steps at once TO make everything
secure. In the meantime, several pat
rons, whose children have their class
es in the old building have stopped
them from school.
AS a matter of fact, there has been
talk of this and one or two other
buildings in town being unsafe for
twenty five years, and they are all
standing-and unless an earth quake
and pretty severe one-strikes
this school building, it will still be
standing for another quarter century.
AS TO the probability of the school
building collapsing, such talk, in
the judgemnt of large number of
men who have examined it, is only
calculated to create a panic and do
the school and children harm. How
ever, every patron of the school
should act on his own judgment.
One thing is certain, whether there
is foundation for the present excite
ment or not the TaZewell High
School can never succeed with the
present building in its present shape
and they had just as well go to work
at once. This scare has done its work
and nothing but new building can
allay the excitement and insure the
success of the school.

racts. He reports the young man.,
Earle Trail, whose was seriously in
jured some time ago by fall from a
building on which he was at work,

and after exclamation by the sur
geons was informed that they could
do nothing for him, and he was
brought to his sisters in Bluefield,
where he died shortly afterwards AS
reported in this paper, at the time OF
the accident serveralweeks ago, the
young man stood very high. He was
the only support of widowed moth
er, whom he left several hundred dol
lars accident insurance.

TazewelI Telephone
Ex. Burned Out
TazeweII Printing Com :
pany's Stock Much
Damaged by
Water.

On Wednesday night about IL
O'Clock, fire broke out in the small
2-story brick building occupied by
the Telep hone Company as central
Office upstairs and by the Tazewell
Printing Company below. The fire
was soon gotten under control, but
not until the upper story was COM
pletely destroy ed. The switch boards
and all the apparatus of the Telephone
Exchange were entirely destroyed,
and the wires are now, OF course, out
of business. The presses and stock of
the Printing Company was seriously
damaged by water, the fire not
reaching the lower rooms of the
building. The fire is supposed TO have
been caused by the electric wires i'm
the building.
The high wind prevailing at the
time the fire started would have
swept the flames everywhere and
destroyed a great deal OF property
had the fire broken out I'm frame
building, shingle roof section.
The losses from the fire we learn
are partially covered by insurance.

A Timely Suggestion

Many people are now puzzling
their brainss trying TO decide what is
best and most suitble TO give various
friends and relatives for Christmas.
With many it is also the question OF
how TO reach the greatest number
with only limited sum of money.
To all such-those who are trying
to decide what TO give, and those who
need TO consider the cost, who must
reach as many as possible with the
means at their command-to all we
suggest photographs. With the inn
provements i'll the present day por-
traiture photograph is no longer
the mere mechanical production ii
once was. a portrait from modern,
up-to-date studio can be made a gen.
uine work of art. Something that is
a pleasure TO give and more of a
pleasure TO receive.
The Platinum and Sepia Carbon
prints rs made by A. M. Black, of
Tazewell, are truly art portraits.
Nothing could make a more accepta-
bic gift. 1t takes time, however TO
properly finish these prints. Begin
now TO prepare for Christmas. Let
your first trip be TO Black studio.
t is well worth your while TO see
the new art work as made for this
Xmas season.

A Pressing Need.

The recent fire could have been put
out quicker if the reel and hose had
been handy. No one seemed To know
where ii was. A house should be pro-
vided at once. The town may be
saved thousands of dollars thereby.
Also, the storing of explosives
should be looked after. 1t is said that
there was one or more barrels Of gas
oline dangerously near the fire
Wednesday night. Just suppose they
had exploded A word to the wise
should be sufficient. In fact, 1.-THE
wise" should need no word from any
body in this regard.

DESTRUCTIvE FIRE HERE
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT
The Mysterious Bones.

Quite an excitement was caused q
few days ago by the@dicsovery of Il
box in a field near the road Just east
of town, which was proven TO contain
two, or parts of two, human skele-
tons. The wooden box was discover
ed by Mr.. G.. A. Martin, lying in
his field near the line fence between
his and A. j. Steele's farms. He or
dered the book, which he thought
only rubbish and empty, removed,
but when his men went To move the
box ii was gone, and In its place a
pile OF human bones. Afterwards the
bones were ordered buried by Mr.
Martin. 1t was soon noised abroad
that two human skeletons were
found, and that everything pointed
TO foul, mysterious murder, and
an effort made TO conceal the crime
by hauling the bones TO this place.
Others surmised that the bones were
dropped here by wagon passing
through from North Carolina, and
so it went. The bones were dug up
and examined by number of BOYS.
and souvenirs, in the shape of teeth,
pieces OF bone, ETC., were brought
away. A coroners inquest was limited
at. IL was said that the Common
weaith's Attorney should take up
the matter, and have the grand jury
investigate. Baldwin detectives were
suggested, and one of she greatest of
was expected. Colored peo-
pie and superstitious white people,
and small boys said the place was
'hanted', and gave ii a wide birth.
However, il finally turnd out that
the bones were part of two old skele-
tons owned by a physician who
lived here many years ago, and be-
coming tired moving them around
the occupants of the building i'm
which they were left had them NOV
ed and thrown away.
Just who hauled and threw them
away has not been determined. At
any rate the curious had something
TO talk about for n while. One thing
is sure-ont corner of certain field,
and one place in the road, will be
from this time haunted, and great
ghost stories of groans and rattling
bones in the night may be looked for
hence forward.

Reduced Hours of Work.

The n. and w. along with oher
railaods, is cutting expenses all along
the line. While all or nearly, all the
men are retained the work time has
been reduced about three houres per
day. The present money stringency
is said TO be responsible for this cut.
Retrenchment" seems TO be the
