Of use TO his fellow countrymen; that
he accomplished something for them
as well as for himself, and all this
he did without ostentation. That he
will be missed as an officer of this
institution, as mana citizen, and
the father and head of his worthy
family, we recognize.
RESOLVED further that copy
OF these resolutions be sent To his
widow for the family; and TO the
end that our appreciation of him

resolutions be furnished the two

request that they be published.

Shot BY Oscar keesee On
Lower TazewelI Avenue.
Keesee Escapes.

Marcus GrosecIose, better known as
Marco, " son of Thos. Ii. GrosecIose.
OF this town, was shot and killed
last night, about . O'Clock, by Oscar
keesee, son OF Thomas Keesee. also
OF Tazewoll. The shooting occurred
at Mr.. j. b. +. Gillesple's spring.
just below Gillepsie's store, on the
car line.
AS we go To press this a. M, the
details cannot be had.
IL seems that the young men, with
crowd of others, were at GILES
pies store, all seemingly pleasant,
except that Gros eclose and Keesee
had had some dispute about beer.
Both men were drinking. 1t Is said
that the two young men went TO the
spring, where they seem To have had
their beer, when the dispute or quar-
rel was resumed. IL is said that
Groseclose started towards X eesee
with big stick, when Keesee drew
.32 gun and shot him through the
heart, killing him almost instantly.
Sergeant Hawkins, who had just
left the crowd short time before,
was soon on the scene, but Keesee
had escaped.
Another tragedy chargeabe TO the
account OF liquor.

Talks Through this Paper.
Bandy, Va, May Il

Bandy, Va, May Is.
Mr.. Editor: find that your paper
is very popular and read by SO many
people, that 1 like To talk a little
to the people through it. l saw one
of your cash subscribers the other
day, o. G.. Baldwin, and for some
reason he had not gotten his paper,
and he said ii seemed so long to wait
two weeks for the paper, but he
found out that the boy lost his pa
per bringing IL from the postoflice.
Well, Mr.. editor, what do you think
about changing the name Of the
supervisors and road commissioner,
and call them "Good Roads Com
mittee?" L think the public would
be fond of this name, as their officers
think they ought to be honored by
some name superior to supervisor and
road commissioner. / Lhink big
name ought to be given them, so ii
would go down in history; so our
children could speak of these good
men that have made our pathways
so smooth. God bless them! Good
fellows they are. l saw travelling
man out here the other day hang uI
with his team. l think he was Mr..
Barns, and if would cuss at all
think Barns would have helped me,
but / just told him he was on the
wrong road. just get on the road thai
these good roads people were inter
ested in and he would have M
trouble, and then he smiled and saiC
it is h to tell the captain. Wher
the road gets good / will come owe
and see you.

BONDS FOR new
SCHOOL BUILDING
Judge Henson Has Ordered An
Election For June 23rd For
Bond Issue of $4,000

The Town Council has petitioned
Judge Henson To order an election in
this town for the issuance of bonds
for the purpose of erecting new
school building.
The order has been issued, and the
election ordered for June 23rd.
The amount of bonds asked for is
SIP, 600. The new school building
will cost about $50, 900 or there
abouts. According to agreement be-
tween the Town Council and School
Board, the Board will put up its pro-
portional part of the amount neces-
sary to complete the building, In the
proportion, we believe, of 6 1-2 to 5;
that is, for every So, 500 put up by
the town, the district board puts up
50, 600. Whatever amount may be
necessary TO complete a first class
building will pe spent. Everybody
is 10 be congratulated upon this for
ward move. There ought TO be no
objection To this bond issue, but
everybody ought to work for it and
vote for ii.

CLUB HOUSE
AT TIP TOP
Old Lithia Springs Property
Will Be Re-Opened-New
Hotel Being Built.

The well known Lithia springs
near Tip Top has been purchased by
company of coal operators and
other prominent business men, and
already great Improvements have
been made there. a hotel has been
commenced, to be completed about
July 10th at n cost of $40, 600 and
n number OF cottages are under con-
structicn for the use of the stock
holders. The stockholders embrace ?
large number of business men, whose
sole object is To fix up a summer re.
sort for themselves and families,
with no thought, of course, of max
ing money, but purely as place OF
resort and recreation-a large, quiet,
club house, and rs such, il PROMISES
TO he success. Recently large
picnic was held on the grounds and
"A good time was had by the stock
holders, their families and invited
guests from Bluefleld, Graham and
Tazewell. On the occasion the stock
holders, j. *. +. Steele, w. r..
Brooks j. n. Harman, j. Il. Walk
er, Drs. Fairfax and Fox, G.. NJ.
Barger, Mrs. Hancock and Mrs.
Mann, I. II. Smoot, n. w. Hutson,
l.. G. Wingo, B. a. Marks, Harry
Bowen, II. A. Wells, Baker and
Others, held n business meeting, and
afterwards enjoyed splendid picnic
dinner on the grounds. The wives
and daughters OF thestockholders, and
many others were present, and "A
great day was had.
II is understood that the enter
prising citizen of Graham, John
Walters, was chiefly instrumental in
bringing about this development-a
thing which has been attempted
several times within the past twenty
years, but only now promises perm
anent building up.
The water at these springs, as has
been known for years, is perhaps, In
many respects, the finest i'm the Unit
cd States, and that n great fortune Is
before this move Is certain. a chief
obstacle in the way has been, hereto
fore, an inaccessible road way from
Tip Top TO the springs, which, no
doubt, the company Will look after
a broad McAadam road from the
springs TO Blue6eld, and Tazewell
should be built, and the absolute
success OF the enterprise would be
assured.

Old Homestead yeterday, where he
and his confederates at one time
concealed the runaway salves, who
would runaway from their masters
in Missouri.
t was from this point he operated
the famous under ground rairload,
their method being to take as many
OF the runaways as he could conceal
in covered carriage or wagon and
drive as far as he could in the fore
part OF the night, and return home
before daylight, so as not to arouse
suspicion among the unsymPathizing
neighbors, leaving his passengers
with another confederate who would
conceal them until the next night
and do likwise; then another would
take charge OF them and so on until
they would be far enough north to
be out Of danger of being recaptured,
and returned TO their masters.
