Many Exporters This Year

Within the past few weeks nearly
all the export cattle for shipment
this fall have been sold to New
York, Chicago and Baltimore buyers,
perhaps as many as 5000 head,
averaging nearly 1900 pounds each,
at from five to six cents the pound.
A little "6ggerin" will give some
idea of the amount of money brought
into the county this fall from the
sale of the export steer. Wool is
bringing about 30c, and the lamb
trade will be good.So, you see where
the money comes from.

Henry NJ. Smythe, editor ana
publisher OF the Pocahontas Field
Headlight at Bramwell, while attcm-
pting To board the Clinch Valley
train yesterday afternoon as il was
pulling out of the station here, was
thrown and severely bruised about
the head and shoulders, receiving n
severe shake up. Mr.. Smythe was ON
his way To Tazewell TO spend few
days with his family when the ac-
cidcnt occurred and the fact that he
was not more seriously injured was
due To the quick work of clear
minded by-standerS who snatched
him from beneath the train before
the wheels caught him. An Italian
who was attempting To board the
train at the same time was thrown
but not not badly injured, being able
To rise without assistance. Mr..
Smythe was taken TO the Altamont
Hotel, where his injuries were dressed
by DIR. Fox, and was resting well

TOOK OVERDOSE
OF STRONG POISON
Young Tazewell Avenue Woman,
Despondent Over Ill-Health,
Comes Near Losing Her Life

Mis-. Dora Thomspon, wife of Har-
vey ThomSpon, came near losing her
life on Tuesday afternoon from an
overdose of medicine. DR.. Melvin
Crockett was called hurriedly, and by
the use of heroic mean and strenuous
efforts succeeded in briging her
around.
The rumor was current In the neigh
borhood that the medicine was taken
with suicidal intent, but this could
not be verified. The medicine she took
was prescription containing strong
poison, prescribed by her physician,
as she has been in rather poor health
for sometime, and the drug which she
had been taking, and on This occasion,
il sees, took purposely quite large
dose, in room in which she had
locked her self. AS Mrs. Thomspon,
so il is stated, refused TO make any
statement or explanation, il cannot
be satted that motive pormpted
her. There is no reason why she
should wish to end life, asher home
life is, and has been, pleasant.
Mrs. Thompson is the daughter of
L. G.. S. Compton,a well known and
respected citizen of Thompson Val
ley. She was married a year ago
while n pupil of Tazewell High
School, eloping with Mr.. Thompson
to Bristol. They now live with Mr.
Thompso mother on Tazewell ave-
nue., where Mr.. Thompson has been
i'm the mercantile business until re-
Gently.
Mrs. Thompson, ut last accounts,
was out of danger, and recovering
