Mcdowell Tournament

Quite a number of our young
people attended the tournament at
Mcdowell last Friday, and report a
very pleasant time. The crowd
was not large, but good order pre-
vailed and everything went off
pleasantly.
We have depended upon our reg
ular correspondent for a report,
but, for some reason, it is not
forthcoming. The cash prizes were
won by-1st, Sidney Ervine; I'd,

by parties whose names we have
not heard.

Mr.. Editor
Having recently visited in your
state and different counties, also
Monterey, I think it fitting that I
should say a few words, living as l
do in one of the greatest agricultu-
raj districts of central Illinois,
where corn and oats are raised in
such great quantities. There is
quite a contrast, assure you, from
that Of Virginia. Being rrised in a
level country, rocks and mountains
were, naturally, a novelty and cur
iosity to me. Reaching, as l did,
Doe Hill in the night, you may i'm
agine my amazement and wonder
the next morning when | beheld
the rocks. The Son Of Man had
"no place to lay His head" but I
found no place for my feet, only on
the rocks, therefore, it was puz-
Cling at first, but when ! investigat-
ed matters l became interested, ev-
erybody seemingly had plenty, do
ing well, living easily and without
much trouble. Note this, please,
for 1 shall speak Of Illinois and you
will readily see the difference.
You Virainians live for. that
witch is meet, and, believing in liv-
ing, you also believe in letting live
"a consideration for others. The
reason is plain, I think. From
Staunton across the Shenandoah
and it's beautiful scenery clear to
Crabbottom you will see sheep with
heecy white wool and lowing herds
of white-faced cattle, basking in
the sunlight and feasting on the
beautiful green grass-God-given,
grass that will grow under rocks
and on hill, mountain and dale,
and drinking of the clearest water
Of any country, SO it is no wonder
that you line easily, are happy and
contented and all is tranquil and
serene. But here in this great
state of Illinois, commercial strife,
greed and avarice seem to be the
Instincts that govern mankind.
Those born to wealth are blessed
and seem to be happy, but what
about these where their daily in
come hardly exceeds their needs?
If you are not careful you will be
trampled under the foot Of man
grabbing after the almighty dollar,
commercially crazed, if you please.
So, my Virginia friends, don't think
that Illinois, with her advantages,
does not have her disadvantages.
was truly pleased to find you do
ng well. Virginia is a graat state,
and is noted for her generosity and
hospitality. Of those | met, and
hose I had the privilege of visiting
shall not forget your kind and
courteous treatment. May peace,
10y and happiness be yours, and |
nay success crown your every eff
'ort, is the wish of your friend and |
visitor. Frank A. Hefner.

MARRIED MAN In TROUBLE.

A married man who permits any
member of his family to take any
thing except Foley's Honey and
Tar for coughs, colds and lung
trouble is guilty of neglect. Moth

Honey and Tar contains no opiates
