The Epworth Leagues entertain
ment, 1.-THE Deestrick Skule,' given
in the North Tazeweil Methodist

TINY school master, impersonatec
by NJ. ii. Kiser, who Was teacher OF
the twenty five or more pupils, rang
ing in grades from the a. b. c's. TO
the third reade the unruly school
children, and the stunning gowns
worn by the "lassies' the awkward
ness and gawkiness of the overgrown

entertainment a most enjoyable one.

Tazewell dust from his feet between
the suns. He is said TO have gone TO
Bluefeld. Taylor's house ii is said
has been the rendevouze for several
with families dependent upon them,
and il is not infrequently the ease
that fights and midnight brawlshave
been reported as having occurred in
this house, but far some reason CON
elusive evidence could not he gotten
against the offenders. No casualties
are known to have actually occurred,
but the closing of the place may
have averted tragedy that would
have brought death or disgrace to
some unfortunate creature.

LIQUOR men WIN
OUT IN ROANOKE
Local Option Election Set Aside
by Judge Staples-Said That
Case Cannot be Appealed.

Roanoke, Va, March 29.-Judge
Waller p. Saples i'm the corporation
courtl of Roanoke today set aside the
local option election held here Dec.
30 last in which the saloon was
voted out by a majority of Sc votes.
The saloons would have closed to-
morrow night had the election been
declared valid.
The contest has been going on in
the corporation court for two months.
Roanoke has fifty saloons, a large
brewery and several distilleries and
distributing depots.
The election is declared null and
void OH the ground that the tax list
as furnished by City Treasurer Law
renee S. Davis was illegal.
The burden of the costs i'm the con-
tests was placed upon the "wets."
The object of the contestants was
to show that taxes had been paid for
the year 1905 in lump sums, amout-
ming TO several hundred dollars, by
others than the parties whom they
were assessed.
Messrs Smith and King, counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League stated TO
day that they had nothing TO say in
regard to their plans. 1--WE are en-
ployed by Mr.. Taylor, of the Anti
Saloon League and he is out of the
city"
1t is stated by number of law
yers that there is no appeal in the
matter.

new LIFE GIVEN
THE STOCK MARKET
II. 5. b wen, President, and c.
j. Moss, Seer tary and Treas
urer of Horse and Mule Market

The Tazewell Horse and Mule
Market was established in March,
1900. 1t has recently been organized
by the election of the following
officers: III. :. Bowen, President :;
&. j. Moss, Sec. and Treas. Execu-
tive committee: j. w. Buchanan,
Geo. w. Lewis, II. w. Thompson,
Geo. II. Surface, Jno. IL. Thomp-
s)n.
The object of this organization is
to promote and stimulate greater in
terest in the breeding a greater mum
Der of better horses and mules; to
advertise more extensively and there
by create new markets, and To- bring
breeders and buyers together.
Since its beginning the market has
not only proven of great benefit to
the people of Tazewell but TO those of
adjacent counties as well. 1t is en-
couraging To know that marked i'm
provement all along in many ways,
has been seen since the organization
of the market. The farmers are more
interested, and attend the sales well.
New markets have been established.
Just this spring five car loads of
horses and mules have gone from our
sales TO eastern markets.
Many of our highest classed saddle
and driving horses have gone TO New
York. Baltimore, Washington,
Philadelphia, etc, at fancy figures.
More horses are sold each year at bet
ter prices.
Aside from the social feature of
these regular monthly meetings,
which is always an important factor,
the day has been set apart by bust
ness men TO transact special bust
ness. Both banks hold their directors
meeting on this day. 1t is the only
day the School Board, Trustees, Taze-
well Fair Association, or any corpora
tion can meet and count on a full at
tendance.
There is no reason why the Taze-
we'll Horse and Mule Market should
not, in the near future, grow into a
great horse exchange. We have been
breeding TO the best sires we could
possibly find for the last half centu-
ry. Situated as we ale, in climate
especially adapted To horse raising,
right in the heart of the blue grass
and farming sections of Southwest
Virginia, with the great Clinch VAL
ley, Pocanontas and Flat Top coal
fields at our front door, why should

away sore headed; you may be the
one at fault. 1t may be that your
