The Great TazeWelI Fair.

Encouraged by past successes the
management of the TaZeweH Fair As
sociation have determined to use every
effort to make the approaching show
the most attractive and successful one
in the history of the Association. To
this end the number of attractions has
been greatly increased and new features
introduced. In the way of amusements
the show is to be great The following
list will show what may be expected on
that line:
The Kemp Sisters Wild West Shows,
composed of fifty people and sixty head
of stock.
An Indian show, with twenty-five live
Indians in native costumes and all the
paraphernalia attached to such shows.
The Four-legged Woman, who is one
of the most wonderful freaks in the
natural world.
Larke & Adams Country Circus, one
of the old-time shows that always en-
tertains the boys.
Madge's Old Plantation Show, which
gives a most amusing illustration of
plantation life, with negro songs and
dances.
A snake show, Circling Wave Ma
added to this very large list of amuse-
ments.
To the exhibits several interesting
and valuable departments have been
added. We might mention the Norfolk
and Western Railway Exhibit, the dis
play of Agricultural Products, Fruits
and Vegetables, and the Ladies Fancy
Work Exhibit. These three departments
are entirely new features, and are
arousing great interest. All of them
will be full and attractive as well as in
structive.
The Poultry Exhibit will be the larg-
est and finest ever seen in Tazewell,
and in quality will not be surpassed in
any part of the State, A number of
persons in the county and town in these
recent years have been taking deep in,
terest in the poultry business; and well
they may. The result is that there are
fine fiocks of all the best breeds of
chickens, turkeys and ducks within the
borders of the county. Statistics show
that the poultry of Missouri brings more
wealth to the people of that state than
all the live stock combined. 1t will soon
be that way In Virginia, even in Taze-
well county. So, the farmers should all
come to the Fair to see the poultry
show, if for no other reason.
Another new feature will be the great
Handicap Race in which a purse Of $500
will be given by the Association. This
will greatly enlarge the attractiveness
of the racing program, which is full in
all other respects.
There is still another new and spec
tacular feature, that is the parade on
horseback of Young Tazewell. All the
children of the county and town from
ten to fifteen years of age are to be ad-
mitted and are cordially invited to join
the parade. This will afford splendid
opportunity for your children to show
the quality of their horsemanship and
also bring upon the track large mum.
ber of Tazewell's noted fine saddle
horses. We predict that this will be one
of the most beautiful as well as popular
features of the Fair.

The New Addition.

If you don't believe things are look
ing good and putting on a prosperous
appearance in the east end of town,
just drop out by the j. G.. Buston prop
erty and glance over what is being done
there 2200 feet of sidewalk is being
built fronting the lot sale ground; nice
wide streets are being lined off, and the
place in general is beginning to look as
fresh and bright as a daisy after a
storm.
FREE LOTS.
There are to be two good lots given
away at the auction lot sale September
End and 3rd. Don't fail to be on hand
when the drawing takes place as you
may be the lucky one. You can secure
tickets before or on days of sale.
DINNER ON GROUND.
Dinner will be served on the lot sale
ground the End and 3rd of September
by the Ladies Exchange of the Meth
odist church. 1t will be served under
the large tent to be pitched on the
property. The ladies' will appreciate
anything you may do for them on this
occasion. If you want something good
to eat and to help good cause at the
same time, patronize them.
MORE INTEREST.
From the many inquiries as to lots in
the East Tazewell Addition much more
interest ia being shown in the approach
ing sale on September End and 3rd than
had been anticipated by some. The
cutting up of the property into building
lots will be of much benefit to the town
any way you take it.

Tragic Death Of Alex. Smith.

The town of Pocahontas, and in fact,
this entire section of country, was
shocked Monday morning when it was
given out that Mr.. Alexander Smith
had committed suicide at his home in
that town, by discharging the contents
Of double-barreled shot gun into his
body. Mr.. Smith, who had been a res
five years, was among the towns most
progressive business men, and by ener.
gy and perseverance had accumulated
considerable of this worlds goods. That
he was held in high esteem by the peo-
pie of his home town was attested by
the fact that on Tuesday while buria
was being made every business house
was closed and the flag on the city hal
lowered to half mast out of respect Il
his memory. Continued i'll health is tn,
only reason assigned for the rash act.

at the preliminary hearing last Saturday Of
