The American Athlete,

The American nation ranks first in
athletics, as shown in the last Olympiad
In London. The horseback ride of nine
ty-one miles through a driving snow
storm by the President was wonderful
feat of endurance, and is only another
proof of our quality as athletes. Human
beings in the days past and today are
compared to machines. There is no one
questions, the logic of the comparison,
for the body is equipped with all sorts
of levers, pulleys, cordage, pumps and
valves, which require master mechanic
to manage. Mike Murphy, the famous
Penn trainer, undertakes this task. He
will write all about his wonderful work
of brain and recreation in a series of ar
ticles to be published exclusively in the
Sunday edition of The Philadelphia
Press. Order your copy at once from
your newsdealer or send your order di-
rect to The Philadelphia Press, Seventh

Preaching in the Christian church
next Sunday night at O'Clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. w. Kelly. of Poca-
hontas are at Tazewell today, having
come to attend the burial of their niece,
little Francis Louise Kelly.
Mr. and Mrs. C. r. Brown. who have
been in Baltimore and Atlantic City for
the past month while Mr.. Brown was
being treated by specialist for throat
trouble, are expect to return to Taze-
well the first of next week.
Mr.. John O'Keeffe went to South Car
DINA last week to spend few days
with Mrs. O'Keeffe and her parents.
Mrs. O'Keeffe had been visiting in
South Carolina the past six weeks. and
accompanied her husband back to Taze-
well on last Saturday.
The many friends of Hon. Henry C.
Stuart in the Ninth District, both Dem
ocrats and Republicans, deeply regret
the cause which has forced Mr.. Stuart
to withdraw from the race for Govern
or. We hope that Mrs. Stuart will re-
cover her health before a great while,
and be able to return to her home in
Russell.
Mrs. George W. Moss, of Burkes Gar
den, is reported critically ill this week.
So serious was her condition on Tues
day that her daughter, Miss Mamie
Rose, who is attending school in Wash
ington city, was telegraphed for, and
on yesterday passed through Tazewell
en- route to the Garden to be with her
mother in her illness. Mrs. Moss was
reported as very much improved late
yesterday afternoon.
We have received letter from Hon.
Thos. Lee Moore, U. S. District Attor-
ney, announcing that the next term of
the U. S. Court at Roanoke will begin
on the 18th of this month. Witnesses
who have been summoned or recognized
for an earlier day will take notice and not
report before the 10th. Some from
this county and perhaps elsewhere had
been summoned or recognized for the
9Th inst. This was a mistake.
Il
Frances Louise Kelly, infant daugh-
ter of DR.. and Mrs. Jos. G. Kelly, died
at their home in Bluefeld, w. Va, on
Tuesday night after a protracted ILL
ness with whooping cough and pneu-
monia. She was bright child and one
year old last December. The remains
were brought to Tazewell on yesterday
and taken to the residence of DR.. John
E. Jackson, where funeral services will
be held at IL o'clock today. The burial
will take place at the new cemetery at
the conclusion of the funeral services.
Much sympathy is felt and expressed
by the numerous friends and relatives
OF the bereaved parents here, in which
we most sincerely unite.

Recently we have been sending out
statements to a number of delinquent
subscribers, and we will continue to do
this until all are notified of the standing
of their account. Some have responded
to these statements while others have
failed or refused to do so. AS rapidly
as possible we are finding out the per-

them from our list. Their accounts will
be collected by law when possible. Some
have been made angry by our effort to
get what was due us. This disposition
is both ungenerous and unjust.
