Change in Fair Grounds.

DR.. Copenhaler has decided upon
an jmpoTta1t change at the Fair
grounds. The Grand Stand be remod-
elled, the steps now will lie
losed, and the vacant space along the
front in which the people crowd and
stand will be closed. The steps will
enter from the rear, and the in2ress
and egress of the crowd will be
facilitated.
The most Important, and by far
the most desirable change will be the
removal of the restaurant from under
the stand TO building outside. Just
why people have consented to take
their meals under that Grand stand
with hundreds of people tramping
just overhead, and sitting down
continually a shower of dirt and
dust, cannot be explained ecxept oil
the ground that they didn't think
about il. So, the old filthy eating
place will go, and the space altered
and arranged for display purposes.
The building on the outside will b,
used for a general dining room, and
will be an ideal place The manage
ment are anxious to give every
facility possible to the agriculture
and other exhibits, and to make tn
Fair this year an improvement oI
all previous exhibitions.

". A. THOMPSON
SUPT. OF SCHOOLS
Elected BY State Board Success
or to Hon. p. III. Williams,
Resigned.

Professor w. Archie Thompson, of
Thompson Valley, has been appoint
ed by the State Board of Education,
Superintendent of Schools of this
county, and take up the duties of his
office July 1st.
There were three applicants, viz !:
Mr.. NV. Kiser, Prof. a. s. Greever
and Mr.. Thompson. The contest was
lively. Each of the candidates are
popular, aud were vel. :, udorsep. and
either OF them would have made a
good officer. But only one could be
appointed, ard MIR. Thompson was
selected.
He is well known in Tazewell,
and needs no introduction. That he
will do his best To give the people
good service goes without saying. He
is son of Mr.. w. Il. Thompson, of
Thompson Valley-a graduate of
King College, Bristol, Tenn, is 81
years of age. and like his worthy
predecessor, Prof. Williams, is un-
married, but unlike him, seems to be
doing his best TO change this condi-
tion of things.
Prof. Thompson has had a number
of years experience as teacher and
member of the School Board of the
county. and is familiar with exist
ng conditions and needs of the coun-
try schools. His position is re-
sponsible one, and every well wisheI
of the schools, should give him heart. !,
cooperation.
The schools are on the upgrade
now, and must be kept going uphill.
The hardest pulls have been made by
others before him, and his work
should be easier, and no doubt great
progIess will be made in the future.

siderable criticism in certain counties

counties are well pleased. And so il
is. There must be something 10 kick
about. Everybody cannot be pleased.

chance To vindicate or discount the
wisdom of their appointment. They
will be sure TO do one or the other

plow. harrow and plant. The harrow
follows the pillow very quickly, all the
freshly plowed ground being narrow
ed every noon and night.
Another form of spring preparation
which we lave applied with gooo
effect is as follows: The ground was
disked four times-that is, lap-dlskeo
twice. using a spader the first Tune
and an ordinary disk a week later.
and the land was narrowed after each
double disking. After several years
experience in the matter, we prefer
disking to blowing. Sod ground, OF
course, must be plOWed.
Shallow Planting.
Corn should be planted one and one
half to two inches deep. Expert
ments have shown that whether corn
is planted one. two. three or four
inches deep the root system starts
out at the same depth from the sur
face. But if the corn is planted deep
it takes much longer for the sprout
to reach the surface, and it is IMPORT
ant to have the corn come up as
quickly as possible. I would plant
corn just as shallow as possible 10
insure moisture for it's termination.
Listed corn withstands Windstorms and
dry seasons much better than level
planted corn. but if corn is listed the
ground should be thoroughly drained

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE
Druggist D. F. Davis Offers to Pay for
Samose If II Does Not Make Thin
Folks Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment. They may
eat enough, but this food is not properly
digested. and does them no good.
samose, the remarkable flesh forming
food, should be used by all who are pale,
weak and thin 1t mingles with the food
and aids assimilation, so that when taken
for a short time Nature viii soon assert
her normal powers, and the food that
is eaten win give strength and good
flesh.
Weigh yourself before you commence
the use Of Samose, and you will notice
steady gain. Samose is not a cod liver
oil or similar nauseating concoction, but
a scientific. fesh-forming food that re-
stores the thin and serawHy to their pro-
per weight. and fills the weak and debil-
itated with vigor and vitality.
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness Of beauty should use
Samose The man who wants to be
strong and well and gain health and good
flesh, will find his desires accomplished
by Samose.
